PLZZ HEELLPP !! In "Civil Peace," what does the leader of the thieves mean when he says, "We no be bad tief"?

From the book, the leader of the thieves says that they are not violent thieves that would threaten their victims with automatic rifles because they just want to rob without causing trouble or unnecessary violence.

Explanation:

In Civil Peace by Chinua Achebe, the protagonist of the story Jonathan Iwuegbu is a man that survived the Nigerian Civil War along with members of his family. In many parts of the book, he is described as a man with a positive disposition towards whatever life throws at him.

He was robbed one night by a group of bandits and they said, "Awrighto. Now make we talk business. We no be bad tief. We no like for make trouble. Trouble done finish. War done finish and all the katakata wey de for inside. No Civil War again. This time na Civil Peace. No be so?"

This translates that the thieves were very much interested in not being violent as they said they do not want trouble because it was already the end of the Civil War and they were not the violent type that threatens with weapons.
