SirShymexx: I don't have anything against Ghana, but for the sake of your argument, I don't know what the word for 'king' or 'God' is in Ashanti, I doubt most Nigerians can even name any cities outside Accra and Kumasi. Somebody in Rwanda right now is watching a film set in Owerri and about silly characters working in a mechanic shop, they know what 'igwe' means, they know what 'Chineke' means, and they can name more Nigerian celebrities than most Nigerians care to. These guys are contributing towards the Nigerian economy in some ways by watching these films online, or buying these films and keeping these guys relevant, therefore Nigeria has some soft power in that sense, and that's all the way to the Caribbean. Nollywood helps the Nigerian music industry, that's soft power. The music industry grew with Nollywood, it's not a coincidence. There is the power of the so called inconsequential industry. SirShymexx: This is the difference: http://www.completenewsng.com/uschina-south-korea-woo-igbo-entrepteneurs-lagos/ Plus the Igbo are indigenous to the country, and make up 30% + of the country, different economic, history factors to the UK, and so on... SirShymexx: The difference is that one group maintains imperial influence over you, and the other? Economic? Lol. |

ezeagu:. Is that necessarily a Nollywood thing, or the fact that Nigeria has a huge population, and Nigerians everywhere? As small as Jamaica is, with less than 3million people - there's no country in black diaspora without Jamaica influence, due to how widely travelled they're. The black urban English in the UK, is heavily influenced by patois. Ditto most US cities, with large Jamaican population, Canada, France, Germany etc.. So, does that mean Jamaican soft power, based on ya logic? Also, Afrobeats and Nollywood aren't intertwined cos most folks who listen to Afrobeats don't watch Nollywood movies. I don't watch Nigerian movies, and I don't know anyone who gives half-a-fvck about it - but everyone that I know listens to Afrobeats cos they play it in almost every club out here now. And that has more to do with the growing Nigerian population in the UK - than Nollywood. This is the difference: http://www.completenewsng.com/uschina-south-korea-woo-igbo-entrepteneurs-lagos/ Stop going off on a tangent. In the article, it was clearly stated that the summit was organised by the Imo state government and they were invited. But in typical Igbo chest-beating way, you had to attach too much importance on an inconsequential summit. Excerpt from the article: They made the call at the 2015 South East Business Investment Summit held at the National Theatre in Lagos. The summit was organized by the Imo State Government Liaison Office Lagos. Other states do have their own summits, whereby foreign investors are invited - how many of them attach chest-beating to it like you're doing with this one? I know of countless Lagos investment summits. Ditto Ogun and Oyo. But I'm yet to see them call it Yoruba Entrepreneurs being wooed by foreign investors. Plus the Igbo are indigenous to the country, and make up 30% + of the country, different economic, history factors to the UK, and so on... But are Igbos indigenous to Lagos? And what economic factors are you alluding to, when Igbos are inconsequential in all the major sectors in the Lagos economy? The difference is that one group maintains imperial influence over you, and the other? Economic? Lol. Economic - how? By small trading that's more of a nuisance than anything else, no? - hysterical. List the major banks, industries, et al owned by Igbos in Lagos (don't include SS). 3 Likes |

Scholes007: We all want relative independence from one another (at least the Yorubas canvassed for regional autonomy at the national conference). My question is why blame Yoruba for everything that ever goes wrong in our region (SS)? Are some SS folks just following Igbo agenda without focusing on their own issues? They have their region, let them canvass their own interest. 11 Likes |

You do not need NPA to build that Sea Port. If the Igbos are serious about economic revolution in the SS/SE bloc, the 11 States of the SS/SE bloc can finance construction of that port. It is the most viable way out of the fraud called Nigeria. I wish I have Dangote's financial might, I would have built that port 100% myself. 1 Like |

Ezeagu Breakdown of the drivers of the Lagos economy by the Lagos state government. Interestingly, seven (7) out of the 28 Sectors emerged as major drivers of Lagos economy: - Manufacturing - 29.60%, - Road Transport - 26.47%, - Building and Construction - 19.70%, - Wholesale and Retail - 8.39%, - Telecommunications - 3.71%, - Financial Institutions - 3.51% - Real Estate - 2.01%. http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/images/pageimages/downloadfiles/docs/LAGOS_STATE_GDP2010.pdf (page 10) ^^^Which of these sectors is dominated by Igbos? 5 Likes |

shizzleStar:So what's the essence of this topic if not begging the Yorubas to come to the rescue? What business have the Yorubas with Ibaka Port? Did we stop revenue flow from the FG to the East, or you just like blaming the Yorubas for your backwardness? When was the last time we ever blame the Ibos for anything? If that's not a sign of superiority, then what's it? We have no point to prove to you, it's you Ibos who have been trying to prove superiority all these while, but turn around and accuse us of sabotaging you economically and politically. How is that posible for the weaker group to do? It's you people who have been blowing the ember of our ego by blaming us for your woes and even begging for help against Yoruba oppression and sabotage, as evident in this thread. We know all your chest beating and obsession with us point to a fact; you're afraid of us. I've spent too much time with you people to be mistaken. Since you've been exhibiting this unreciprocated hatred towards us and it's not working for you, isn't it time you try something else...something like worshipping us as your gods, may be, just may be, things we start working for you? As for the last part of your post, if we've succeeded in ensuring your region remains backward( as you'd make us believe) without Federal might, what makes you think you stand a chance of crippling the country now that we have greater influence? Isn't that giving us an excuse to turn you all to destitutes once and for all knowing fully well that we have an history of using economic and political weapons to win wars without firing a shot? You better come back to your senses, you're not our match. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

The schematics show better road network than Lagos-Benin which means faster transport time cos its going to be less busy. But then again, Edo can keep shipping from Lagos. 1 Like |

While it would make a lot of sense for businesses in the SE and parts of the SS to access goods through Akwa Ibom, Lagos makes more sense for businesses in Benin.

Everything about Lagos is easily accessible on the internet, for anyone who cares to check. That was the same way the guy was making noise on a thread about some warehouse in China owned by an Igbo guy which employed a few Chinese workers. When there are tons of Yoruba businesses in the UK that have ethnic Brits working for them. Heck, I know some guy in his 20s, (around my age) who has a Job agency out here - and he has over 30 ethnic Brits working for him. These folks are noisemakers. 8 Likes |

SirShymexx: Reggae and Jamaican culture can be considered Jamaica's soft power, but since Jamaican isn't a massive power in other areas, it wouldn't be accurate to describe it as a soft power. Nigeria however has economic power on the continent and also military power. All of these come together to form the countries over all power. Nigerian music industry has grown with the help/influence of the Nigerian film industry. The Nigerian film industry is much bigger and much more influential than the Nigerian music industry. SirShymexx: This is not an Imo State or South East economic summit, this is '2015 South East Business Investment Summit' for Igbo traders in Lagos, hence why it's being hosted in Lagos. SirShymexx: So that means that means you can show me a traders summit in Oyo, Ogun, etc where international traders were represented? SirShymexx: The fact that you're comparing the South West of Nigeria's economy to even London is laughable. The vast majority of people do not survive on the informal sector in the UK, people in Nigeria do. The vast majority of the UK has an income of an average of over $30,000. If you want to compare the black population of the UK who make up less 2% of the UK, to the population of Igbo who make up 20% + of Nigeria, and well over 20% of Lagos, you're going to have to add the economic factors, historical factors, and demographic factors which includes per capita income for this laughable comparison. The major banks in Lagos do not feed people in Lagos, the lock up shops, mama puts and second hand wears is what 90%+ of the 20 million people in Lagos survive on. Without that, there would be nobody in Lagos, just like there's nobody in Abuja. 2 Likes |

SirShymexx: Shymexx, that BS is a big scam created by the empty chest-beating and braggadocio of some suffering from delusions of grandeur. Did you not see the whole picture expose thingy on Nairaland that showed many of these "CEO mansion-owners" to be hungry-looking and unkept urchins despite their empty chest-beating here? The fact is that Yorubas are firmly in control when you talk of Industry, property development and organised/multi-level businesses and the formal sector that create employment, pays taxes and grows. You know my background so you understand the article I present below about the reality of Ghana, specifically Accra, which is similar to the situation of Lagos. Look at the list below to see the names of those engaged in big, formal and organised businesses/sectors that creates employment, pays huge taxes and are generally considered an asset to the host nation. Next minute you will see some braggarts claiming they "own" Accra merely because they are to be found in large number as petty traders in the markets in the City. A humble person would realise that even Chicken Republic, a Yoruba-owned fast food franchise operating in Ghana, generates more income, pays more taxes and employs far more Ghanaians then 60 petty trading stalls owned by igbos can manage to do. What would then be the point of those Igbo traders calling Yorubas "lazy and unambitious" when we are actually more successful at the end that matters whereas they only have large numbers in the petty trading sector as their main claim to 'dominance'. It is crazy dude and a fu*ked-up level of self-delusion. Like I always say, if the Yorubas were braggart then this sh1te would not be funny as some would be shocked at the extent of their own self-delusion based on the 'supremacy' lies they have been told that led them to come here and brag only for pictures to show them as mainly unkept hustlers. I have no issues with anyone but when you start generalising and denigrating an assured, talented, innovative, intelligent and industrious people as "lazy and Unambitious" because of nothing but your own delusions of grandeur, driven by inferiority complex, then I will speak up with facts to show the Yorubas lag behind no one and are actually greater achievers than our understated nature predisposes against bragging about. I don't know how difficult it is for some to understand that petty trading and owning many small stalls does not mean you "own everything" and "control the economy". I even feel sorry for these guys because they are clearly victims of the malevolent indoctrination that has shaped their empty chest-beating, dishonesty and intellectual laziness. http://citypeoplegroup.org/unveiling-nigerians-who-play-big-in-ghana/ UNVEILING NIGERIANS WHO PLAY BIG IN GHANA 6 Likes 2 Shares |
