ChelseaDotCom:



This particular quote by Reno makes me laugh...."Right there, under his own nose, Nigerians of Igbo extraction, without ANY governmental support, are manufacturing electronics and heavy machinery components and Onu is caught up on pencils!"
It is obvious that that guy isn't an engineer. What! Igbos are manufacturing electronics ke, for where? Does he really know what an IC is...no African country produces just a resistor let alone electronics. May be he wanted to say assemble. What we presently do across Nigeria is to download a circuit diagram from the net and reproduce, and that's no brainer....Igbos needs to stop deceiving themselves. The easiest thing to do is to copy from the original....if u ever cheat in school, u'll understand what I mean.

MizMyColi:
This is a fine write up by Reno.

It is factual and honest. It did not sound divisive or seek to elevate one tribe over another.

I am Igbo in all ramification.

Nwa'afo ka'mbu

But I think it's important to sound that despite knowing how blessed we are as a people, it is wrong to feel and act superior over others.

Whom God has blessed, no man can curse.

We are blessed to be blessings to others and others are blessed to be blessings to us.

I don't buy the inferior/superior ideology and as much as this Artcle by Reno might innocuously make that prop up, we should guard against it.

Many of us who are privy to history have felt angered over how Igbos are/were treated.

We have called Nigeria a contraption, we have called it a zoo, we have demanded for a sovereign state.

But the reality remains that we are still here.
We live, breathe, birth, work and eat in Nigeria.

We should start seeing everyone as brothers and sisters. There is no need to feel that you are better than anyone, even if all indices point to that.

Feeling that way is making room for pride.
And pride always goes before a fall.

Thank you.

braden107:
You have said the truth. These guys are just a bunch of clowns .
The fact is that no tribe is superior to another. There are stvpid and intelligent ,industrious and lazy,beautiful and ugly people in every tribe ,but it just depends on the leadership. I have a saying that goes :There are 7 billion idiots controlled by 1 million wise men. If an intelligent visionary from any tribe leads their place , the place would progress. Some tribes have larger populations and are more visible than others . China is not better than Singapore,Japan or South Korea just becaue those ones have smaller population and landmass.China just has larger population and is more visble. .
Every one has great visions for their place not just igbos . Igbos should be grateful for free oil money allocation. Igbos should not trespass and include other regions In their biafra map.

He is the inventor of the INYE-1 & 2, tablet computers designed for the African market.



Bio: Saheed is the Co-founder of Encipher Limited, a Nigerian-based technology company that introduced the first android-powered tablet into Nigeria. The INYE-1, which was unveiled in April 2010 is a 7-inch resistive screen tablet. It runs android 2.1 and allows users to connect to the internet using its inbuilt WIFI card and to use an external 3G modem from GSM networks. It offers about 3 hours of battery life and allows HDMI output to HDMI capable devices.
INYE-2, which was unveiled in May 2011, is an 8-inch capacitive screen tablet. It runs Android 2.2 and allows users to connect to the internet using its inbuilt Wi-Fi card as well as its inbuilt SIM. It offers about 8 hours of battery life and allow users to connect to other USB devices....

Sirbun:
He just said it all, unity is power and let's work together for good..am one of IBO in Europe that work with great German technology and they saw the potential in me. If Nigeria can come as one some of us can relocate home and make the difference. Nigeria as a whole don't love themselves and how can we move on without unity?i joined this group in order to share views but here is a house of commotion where empty brains make jokes of everything just because of tribe issues,. I wept for my young brother who follow the footstep that reduce to where we are now.yorubas and IBO should pls make peace as the first step. Thanks brothers

Mckennedy:


Long stories....name one car or motorcycle produced by Ayodele Awojobi?

bakynes:
First of all i do not beef the Igbos and yes i am Yoruba. I laugh at such articles and mindset.
Reno is just a big fool i repeat no African tribe is technologically advanced. The igbos are very hardworking, talented and smart that i agree on but to say they built Jet fighters and drilled and refined crude oil is just bullshit.

Only the whites and Asians do technology, why did it take Anglo-dutch company (Shell) to know Oil was buried beneath our soil, why didnt the igbos use their own technology to discover it. Or was the Hausa and Yoruba holding you down before the Civil war?

Igbos i do not hate you but stop allowing these fools like Reno Omokri to stroke your ego by lying to you.

This thread should not be an avenue for chest-beating, rather a place of retrospection....

Mckennedy:


Below is google description of your claim read carefully...

Autonov1, patent for the invention was never obtained before the inventor's untimely death. An abandoned Layland jeep was utilized for the invention and it is to this day, displayed at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Lagos during the said faculty's "Engineering week". It basically consists of a jeep, with a second steering wheel built-in at the rear end that connects the axle. A gear-shift is also built here that connects, through a built-in mechanism, to the already pre-existing four gears, such that the hybrid vehicle can be driven on all four gears, in both forward and backward directions. The jeep's central compartment was re-designed to have a rotating floor mechanism that can swivel an occupant from the rear seat, to the front one and vice versa.

Wumbawee:


Supported. I am a full blown Igbo man from the heart of Igbo land. I think you are on point, let the little children in NL not digress this discussion by chest beating. This master piece is a call for retrospection.
Having said that, NLanders, do you know that the Chemical Engineering Department of UNN has been shut down since after the civil war because those ruling (mark my word "RULING" Nigeria thought that the technological advancement of the defunct Biafra republic was researched and developed in the department? Do you know that Obasanjo seized Ibeto's cement license because he is an Igbo and since he was competing favorably with an Hausa - Dangote - we must use state power to stop him? Do you know that the real issue between the 2 most dominant nationalities in the southern Nigeria - Yoruba and Igbo - is just fear of the former that the later will subsume their historical status as the earliest developed nationality in Nigeria and the later showing off and boasting that they are capable whether they are loved or hated. the Yoruba nation discovered that the Igbos were dominating in every space of national life before the civil war and they were playing second fiddle and this sparked jealousy instead of healthy collaboration to make Nigeria great. No wonder, as finance minister and to decimate the Igbos, Obafemi Awolowo promulgated the 20 pounds settlement of Igbos after the civil war irrespective of whatever you had in your account before the civil war. Followed by the indigenization of all the blue chip companies when the Igbos were still struggling to survive with 20 pounds they got. The indigenization policy literally transfer all the multinational concerns in Nigeria to the second most advanced nationality - the Yoruba nation. The Hausa/Fulani are no match to Igbo and Yoruba nations in any indices in terms of advancement and development, but they remain the rulers of Nigeria because they understand the power of unity. With this understanding, they do everything to make sure that Igbo nation and Yoruba nation never agree or come together because the day the Yorubas support the Igbos or Igbos support the Yorubas fully Nigeria will be liberated and the dominance of Hausa/Fulani in the political space of Nigeria will wane. An instance is during the GEJ national conference, when the Igbos were clamoring for equity in state creation the Hausa/Fulani delegates started weeping up sentiments among the Yoruba delegates by saying that Yoruba has more landmass and should be the ones clamoring instead of the Igbo thereby trying to lunch the Yoruba delegates against the Igbo aspiration. this was intended to create bad blood between the two nations, hence destroying any form of unity between the two nations in Nigeria, thus making the Hausa/Fulani to always have her political advantage.
I may write a thesis on this soon so watch out.

Pchidexy:
Their is no need for this ego massaging message by Reno. No black race has any thing to be proud of. Why are we blowing our trumpet? What do we expect the Whites and East Asians to do?

Igbos should take time to organize themselves politically and socially.

We may have a high IQ but until it translates to economics success to the average household then, we are not successful.

We should take a cue from Kenya. These people without crude oil are doing great. They are not shouting.

They jews, the Chinese,the Lebanese, Indians, do not blow their trumpet.

Enuff said!
