oneeast: States with the very large land space appears to be least on the table of development.....all in a bid to make the southeast look like paradise. Foolishness! Aren't you thesame folks that complain that abia state is very dirty and lacks basic infrastructure? Was it not last week we saw pictures of abia state university looking like a pigry? You guys Lack land for agriculture; even the little you have is steadily getting demolished by erosion. How many standard stadiums do you have in your region? Are your universities in the top 15 in nigeria? How many world class markets do you have in your region that other regions don't have times 3 of it(pls don't mention that dirty araria market)? If you guys have enough jobs iin the southeast, then why do your brothers flee the region to other regions as if it's plagued. An ibo chieftain once said that ibadan alone has more ibos than ebonyi state. What industries do you have down there? How come your youths don't want to work there? Why always lagos, ibadan, kano, kaduna etc? Pls grow up and stop this dick comparison cos it leads your tribe nowhere. The best to do is to try and integrate in this one nigeria cos to think of it, your south east which is vulnerable to erosion won't be enough to contain the whole of ibos that'll return to it.

Your insecurity is actually what is driving you crazy.lol There are no Igbos in yolobarland except u mean Lagos which an FG enclave. Nobody is competing with u because u and ur region are still at the heel of development going by the core indices of development I list above only trailing the north. So stop crying when nobody is beating u.. TribalEAST: ....all in a bid to make the southeast look like paradise. Foolishness!

oneeast: States with the very large land space appears to be least on the table of development. Development is more of a product of people's effort Most indigenes of less developed states are to be held responsible for their states undevelopment Eg The resources the indigenes of Borno should have invested into transforming Born into the food and agro-allied base of Africa were spent on preaching the supremacy of Islam which today has given birth to Boko Haram We must know that development does not fall from heaven but are creation of people's effort 6 Likes |

U are right on the corruption menace but apart from that those states with large landmass are either plagued by flood or drought as seen in the north which effetctively renders greater percent of the land useless.. tobtap: 1 Like |

BlackTechnology: Mining is big business in northern Nigeria. Employs tens of thousands, Boko haram might connections there, I don't have any facts to back it up. Ores like lead ore, zinc ore, columbite ore, tantalite ore etc, have mined and sold from northern Nigeria for years. Creating a source of income for many. The only people loosing out are southerners and government revenue agencies. 1 Like |

Collynzo17:no one needs one nigeria more than the ibos. Your people don't stay in their own region; your land is not adequate for agriculture; erosion ravaged land; clamoring to be deputy gov of a state in another man's region; aka ikenga holding its meetings in lagos; investing in another man's region etc. Only fools take your clamor for Biafra serious. |
