Biafra and lies are inseparable.

QuotaSystem:
A country with Hausas producing food, minerals and raw materials from her resources while the Yorubas use their natural and technical resources to process and export our and their agricultural products at this period when the value of oil is sinking fast, is a timely marriage made in heaven.

Sweetguy25:


Still doesn't prove anything. Showing me images of expensive cars in Abuja without details of who owns them is nonsense. Giving me an incorrect list of rich Nigerians proves nothing either.

Give me a list of the twenty or 30 richest northerners you know.

fr3do:
lets get Biafra and watch how we take over Africa.

PreyingMantis:
That's what we have been praying and pushing for all these years. A future AreOduwastan or OduArewastan(whichever way you choose to pronounce it) devoid of the evil Biafrans.

QuotaSystem:
Were the cars purchased with sand? Or did you not see the Hausa kids that own them?

Regarding your request, start from the Forbes list, then continue on the list of wealthiest Nigerian military leaders and politicians.

Then when you go into industry and see the likes of Sayyu Dantata, Sani Dankabo (Kabo Air), Umar Mutallab, Umaru Dikko, Atiku Abubakar, Ishiaku Rabiu (IRS Airlines), Alhaji Maideribe, Alhaji Indimi, Aliyu Dasuki, Alhaji Tofa, T.Y Danjuma to mention a few, don't be shocked. You are severely unexposed about Nigeria and Nigerians.

No matter for how long you try to deny the facts, they are sacred. Now give me just 10 ND billionaires to match. I'm waiting.

QuotaSystem:
I've just showed you how our agriculture, minerals, intelligentsia and sea ports will make your proposal a highly desirable one, unlike landlocked, eroded and crime ridden Biafra (whichever way you choose to pronounce it).

In your dreams

Jonathan and his cronies like Dasuki fed and allowed BH to thrive which is why it became a monster. Now it's only backbone is ISIS which is a global threat and the reality is that it is now being fought on two fronts; domestically by the NA and globally by the Russians and their allies. Even with all their nonsense, they have been successfully restricted to just 3 out of 19 northern states.

Sorry to shatter your dreams, but we along with the rest of the world will triumph over terror to the dismay of you her supporters.

The funny thing is even with BH, 'ArewaOduastan' with its seaports, agriculture, minerals, industries and intelligentsia is a much more viable venture than landlocked, eroded and crime ridden Biafra (whichever way you choose to pronounce it).

PreyingMantis:
You didn't factor in Bokoharam. It's not going away anytime soon.

Armaggedon:
its a lie. Lagos has the highest crime rate in nigeria and enugu has the lowest. Do you recall when apc protesters burnt luxury buses belonging to an igbo transporter earlier this year?

If peace is the factor why are other places in SW that are more peaceful than lagos still villages?

The truth is lagos enjoys special attention from fg govt starting from colonial times till now. Should the seaport in portharcourt or onitsha stop being a subject of politics, lagos will suffer. Which is why you guys hold on to one nigeria.

Coming to leadership sw has the worst in the country save fayose. Lagos has the largest dept profile despite huge revenue, what of osun? The leadership in the east is the most visionary but seems emasculated by fg's policies and u know that.

I also heard you mentioning disposable income in Sw. That is a height of delusion! Sw is the most impoverished region aside north. Why do you thing ibadan oshgbo abeokuta are slums while enugu onitsha aba owerri ph awka and asaba are bubbling?


as for dangote, we dont beg for his investment he knows that too. He also knows he would be outcompeted hence he conspired with obj to shut down ibeto plant in ph.

Like i said politics is the thing not your so called peace. Igboland is peaceful but nigeria is an igbophobic country

Truckpusher:
An Another typical example is the mass exodus of these people from their own homeland to the same land where poverty and backwardness abounds yet we haven't seen our Niger Delta youths travelling to Lagos to become truckpushers the way Northerners are arriving here in their hundreds willing to do any menial job for peanuts.

Truckpusher:
Any provocative statement from an IPOB apologist should not be taken seriously after all when you stroll round the streets of the major cities of Nigeria the kids that have left schools to hawk anything on the streets and on the high ways aren't Niger Deltans but the same Igbos that are better off, richer and well informed.

If you take the number of women lining up on the streets across major cities of this country to sell their body for sex, it is the same Igbos that will beat any other ethnic group with a wide margin of 8 to 2 . Another typical example is the mass exodus of these people from their own homeland to the same land where poverty and backwardness abounds yet we haven't seen our Niger Delta youths travelling to Lagos to become truckpushers the way Northerners are arriving here in their hundreds willing to do any menial job for peanuts.

They can speculate all they want but the truth is that poverty and illiteracy holds sway in all nooks and crannies of this nation with the biggest three taking the major hit, after all by sheer number of their population one do not need a soothsayer to know who's worse off and who's better off

These provocative statements you see here and there is simply a ploy to make the Niger Deltans get angry and join up in their selfish struggle that didn't even get the blessings of their own very elites.
Let them continue deluding themselves.

Bla [s]Bla Bla.... Boko Haram has come to stay and it's not going away anytime soon. Quit mentioning Jonathan, he's not a Bokoharam member. He doesn't recruit for them, he doesn't fund them to acquire weapons, his children and kinsmen aren't part of their foot-soldiers. Boko Haram is a Northern militia with the tacit support and backing of the Northern elite.

The problem is that you Northern elites have refused to accept responsibility for the festering Boko Haram. The bitter truth is that Boko Haram will remain as long as Islam remains.[/s]

Dude, the north does not have more billionaires than the south south/ South east. Even the south east can compete with whole north. Lets leave this argument please.

QuotaSystem:

Rethinking your position already?

Thought so .

PreyingMantis:
Just to burst your bubble.... The moment Biafra leaves, Odua is sure to follow suit. There won't be any OduArewastan or AreOduwastan (whichever way you choose to pronounce it). The evil coalition exists only to stop Biafra from leaving... There will be no point of convergence anymore once Biafra is no longer in the picture.... And leave, Biafra must!

I think you should be thinking about your Bokoharam Islamic Caliphate. It's much more feasible and realistic.

llaykorn:


You are an example of an exemption to that rule.

Truckpusher:
What truth? This is the problem with you folks.
If you take your statistics on what I have just written , you'll find out that your speculative comment about the Niger Delta is what is also obtainable in other ethnic groups of this country and by the sheer number of your population your poverty rate is higher than that of all the minority ethnic groups of the Niger Delta.
Go to Aba road in Port Harcourt now , 98% of school dropouts that are hawking on the streets are of Igbo extracts and the same thing applies When it comes to the number of people with white collar jobs too and this isn't about being better off or worse off but a population induced phenomenon.

It would be insanity to make comparisons where the same thing you're comparing with do not have an equal population status.
How many Rivers people are packing their load to live in Owerri, Aba, Onitsha et al compared to the movement of your people into cities like warri, PHC ,Calabar et al?
People migrate because hardship - People do not just migrate for fun.

What do you expect with population of over 20million people where every tribe find as a second home?
A country/state especially in nigeria with such amount of population is most to be the haven of crime. It's a common sense, and beside these crime are most committed by ibos in SW/lagos.

Twistaray:


Village you said? Yet your people troop like an ocean on a daily into the so called village abi?
What is your yard stick for this measurement/stats?
Village yet ogun state is the most industrialised state in the whole of nigeria?

Well. Let me remind that before you were born lagos has and will always surpass the rest. Lagos is a border to to two on more country. It's quite the other way round. Iboes needs SW especially lagos than lagos need them.

United Nations' Multi Dimensional Poverty Index

The United Nations' Global Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index has three dimensions and 10 indicators in estimating Overall Poverty. Each dimension is equally weighted, each indicator within a dimension is also equally weighted, and added.

According to the MPI Report, as at 2010, 46% of Nigerians lived below the national poverty line (Only 28% in Urban areas, and near 70% in The rural). Although a Report by the World bank, released in 2014, showed that only 33% of Nigerians could be considered Poor.

No wonder you people are know for everything fake in nigeria" winks stop showing stats. SW is a bastton of poverty and hunger. You showed us stats of osun being bigger than SE economy put together but when poo hit fan nema, winners chapel and caritas donated relief materials. Ibadan guys celebrated a new mall

arresa:
Fair write up, but a little off, incomplete picture and oversimplification.


Sure, investors look at the Nigerian capital factor, but the number one factor investors think and worry about before siting their investments is safety and security of their investments. The SW remains the safest and the most peaceful, progressive and conducive place to invest in Nigeria. Other factors are availability of skilled and educated manpower and also disposable income.

Lastly, leadership and their ability to seek and drum up investments via favorable terms, trade and investment summits.

Where was this analysis when Lagos hosts trade summits every year including Ehingbeti Economic summit.

Same with Ogun trade summit, Oyo state trade summit and SWITS/SouthWest Investment Trade Summit..

Investments doesn't drop from the tree, you have to work for it..

Investors wont jump into the North, SE/SS to invest anything because of insecurity and instability.

Many questioned Dangote for not investing in the SE, but the man is obviously not regretting his actions if intentional or not after witnessing the destruction of life and property including his own trucks in the SE last week.
