I have been away from the country for almost 4 years for studies. I had the opportunity to tour the east for the past two months trying to setup up my business. It felt like a construction zone everywhere. The type of real estate boom happening is shocking. Places that used to be bush years ago are housing estates. I couldn't even recognize my own mother's village. The development is real and surprising considering the fact that the economy is not good.

My theory about this is that:

1)possible investment coming from igbos in the diaspora.

2) possible that igbos in nigeria have finally reversed the trend of investing outside of igboland

3) possible that Easterners on average might have stronger spending power

Finally, i think that governments in the east have to be more strict when it comes to new developments in virgin lands. They need to make sure the area is mapped out and well planned before people get permit to build so that space for road expansion can be available. But I am still impressed at the rapid developments.

Na we be our own government.

End time state..



I love my end time state anambra

ChappyChase:
Na we be our own government.

I love the can do spirit of our people but we still need good governance to keep things in order and civil.

I have observed this also. The reason is simple: Nigeria will cease to exist very soon. The wise ones know this and are investing now before prices quadruple. Not just people in Diaspora, those in Lagos and North are also investing back home...preparing to relocate when it ceases to exist.

True! Many igbos are coming back home to invest. It's stupid having your business everywhere in this country except where you are from.
The igbos can single handedly develop their region WITHOUT federal assistance so it beats me how some of our igbo leaders like TA orji treated and still treat their states.

Of course, igbos are becoming wiser, I was marvelled to see an Igbo man build a highrise hotel with elevators in Enugu and also a 25 duplex estate in awka. Go to isikwuato and see the massive industrial city ugah is building there.
Ifeanyi ubah too cannot be left out

This is why we need true federalism. Imagine what we can accomplish if given the powers to govern our region. All this talk about referendum will end overnight.

That's hw it shld be... Vry soon, nigerians will find d zone vry vry lucrAtive n conducive for business

Igboland is now the london of nigeria,no wonder people a now moving their, en mass.Later, visa would be required.Give us biaafraud,we need biaafraud.

exactly! And that is what the south east truly needs. 100% Control of its resources while enjoying being in a larger nation at the same time.
The South east is blessed with the most important resource any country can have- a large educated population.
Forget oil,gas,coal,precious stones or any other natural resource..the human resource in the east is of high quality and MUST be put to good use.

What exactly are you on about? Is comprehending a simple post difficult for you?

I used to know a man that is worth billions ..he has a FIRM IN Lagos.. He was so confident of the love by the people that claim they are his (g)host in Lagos till oba of Lagos made that lagoon statement ...the man said that was an eye opener ...he has started pulling all his investment back to east

Also a friend was based in USA and he wanted to build a house in Lagos ..I advised him against it..he claimed one Nigeria ....I took him to a tour of nairaland so that he can read the anti igbo comments ..he read it and now changed his mind ...he has estate in enugu

All you need to do is take them on a tour of Nairaland ..if you can't do that ..just go to search and type igbo

That's all


Igbos are getting wiser now
Where is ugomba and peppyluv and asadike

It is a statement of fact that the south east is blessed in abundance with both human and natural resources. Besides countries like korea and japan developed with no natural resources.

We should keep our economy in our grip and have a chunk of theirs

The richest companies in the world are apple and google. They were built with human resources. Highly educated work force. That's why i laugh at the obsession of people in this country with oil.

Japan and korea developed without oil

The JAMB, WAEC and NECO scores and ranking shows that the south east is producing the future educated workforce that will power its growth and development,

I don't care about all these.. .i just want APC and PDP members all dead.. Starting with Buhari...

Can Buhari just collapse and die already!

Thing is the last presidential election really opened the eyes of the igbos to the fact that we r the only tribe that embraced the so called one nigeria. Now more igbos r bringing there investments back home.

Good point there.

I have been an a one Nigeria optimist for most of my life, until recently , when I started paying attention to the political section of Nairaland.
More recently, with the detention and vile vilifications of Nnamdi Kanu protest movement on Nairaland, I have given up on the fact that we could ever be united as one Nigeria.

So, just like everyone else, I am beginning to shift my investment focus towards the East.

It's a wake up call.

If you want to know one Nigeria and the love for igbo

Just visit www.nairaland.com and go to search space type igbo ...you will see the result , then also type ibo .

Then make up your mind where you want your investment ....


Nairaland has made it clear ...I can make all the billions in Lagos .I will just build tiny 3 bed room all my investment is in easter. Cities


Thank you nairaland
Thank you Seun for opening our eyes

The FG would not listen till barrels of crude oil are given for free in the international market
And when that happens,those northerners you see enforcing one Nigeria would be the ones screaming for secession

where at Awka bro ?

I never beleived the so called one Nigeria thingy....
We've been betrayed by our fellow southerners...
****
Am very happy Abia state got thier act right..
Imagine what Aba will look like once Our able Gov. Ikpeazu is done with the reconstruction and facelift

One Nigeria na wash...
Invest in other states at your own peril.
SE is fast developing, who that has ear let him hear and do the needful...

I Rep the east.

I so much love this submission... Have 101% control of ours and at least 30% of theirs. Lemme add another one....we need an army(yes I mean Igbo army) to protect us from the whims and caprices of those who we might control parts of their economy. In my dealings with humans I've learnt never to underestimate the power of jealousy
