Billyonaire: What are all these aged Igbo men doing in a foreign country, instead of staying put and helping build their home, they are over there enjoying what the founders of America worked for. In the end, the topic of the discussion will be "How Nigeria is not moving forward". How can Nigeria move forward, when all of us are moving outwards ?

Omexonomy: What is the significance of this congress to the development of igbo and nigeria at large?

babyosisi:

When you fix Nigeria,they will return
Many of those men came here as students and Nigeria deteriorated in their absence
When you people fix it,they will return

ikeyman00: @@@

at least the old fools are gathering for useless talk

but for the oduduwa without owambe thing u are on your own!

oilyngbati: @ the bolded, then they (the old Igbo fools) shall return in their casket. As I speak, we are planning on wasting a whooping $17500 on bringing back my late uncle from the US to the zoo (nigeria) in a week's time. He was a physicist and a prof at one of the ivy league schools here in Boston. His/my village did not gain anything from him while he was alive. Now, his people will get a plate of rice and a can of coke now that he's dead, thanks to living in abroad for 45 yrs+

Tazmode: No venue in Nigeria to hold the congress?

Demdem2: Rubbish. It would have made proper sense if it held at Aba.

OrlandoOwoh:
Even in Nigeria they won't hold such a meeting in the South East, but Lagos.

50calibre:

And why should they return to the cesspit called Nigeria, where human lives worth nothing? Many of these men built their lives in America, you're asking them to abandon the sane and functioning society they're used to for an impoverished/dysfunctional one, is there any sense in that? Can you do it?

What you're suggesting is like asking someone to trade a cake for faeces.

If they return, can you guarantee their safety? I'm pretty sure most of these men suffer from one health problem or the other, can you guarantee their medical needs would be met?

Some of you guys bleat like sheeps yet given the slightest opportunity most of you will flee that country without looking back. You can't rebuild Nigeria with bare hands, and say what you will of these men, they are cowards, they're in exile, bla bla bla it doesn't matter, what matters is they're in safer place.

ukeleh: Why should Igbo Congress hold in Houston not Nigeria? Have they ever see British or Europeans coming to Africa for conference?
