Federalism can't work in Iboland. That will be the death of Ibo unity.

Remember that hating Yorubas and Northerners brought Ibos a sense of unity. Without the outliers, they only have themselves to hate.

“Our neighbours now mock us. Ironically we have developed other lands and ignored our own. If only we invest 40 percent of our investment in just other parts of Nigeria, Igbo land would be the economic heart of Africa. We are determined to rebuild and develop the Igbo nation.

“all over the world. About 80% of Igbo wealth is in the Diaspora. We invest outside the country without coming back home. We need to adopt the “think home philosophy”, come back home and develop our land.

As a result of the security concerns of Ndigbo of Lagos, in addition to other reasons, many of our leading lights refused to relocate to the east even after over 70 years of successful navigation of God’s world. Since the days of the great Zik of Africa, M.I Okpara, Jaja Nwachukwu etc, those wishing to meet Igbo leaders no longer come to Ala Igbo to see them. They now travel to Lagos and Abuja to consult Igbo leaders. Igbo leaders have also deserted Enugu.

Most of us even don’t have voters cards in Igbo land and only acquire one when we decide to come home and contest for one office or another.
To worsen our security challenges, as we are coming we bring thugs and other miscreants to Igbo land to protect us and campaign for us without minding the influence of these imported thugs on the local youths.

We also advertise wealth so negatively that our youths feel that all they need to succeed is to travel to Lagos or Abuja. More often that not, these youths end up under Lagos/Abuja bridges where they acquire all sorts of criminal indoctrination. When they have fully graduated they return to the east and practice their evil skills.

I was home during 2009 Christmas season and I was worried about the kidnapping becoming a sole property of Ndi-Igbo, so I started asking questions. I was told by many people that many Igbos were involved in the Niger Delta agitations for improved amenities in the oil producing communities and when President Musa Yar’Adua granted amnesty to the militants, the Niger Delta militants shoved the Igbo militants aside, their brothers that helped them during the struggle and the billions earmarked for rehabilitation eluded the Igbo militants. I was told that these dejected militants of Igbo extraction were left in the lurch after the hard struggles and now they have no option than to continue kidnapping to make a living and to attract attention. If

Nigeria has lost moral compass, but in Igbo land, the problem is monumental. We have no more existing culture we can be proud of as I write. We are copy cats especially the Igbos and it is difficult to talk of morality in the face of poverty.

Displaying of wealth in Nigeria, especially in Igbo land is worrisome. Folks want to outdo each other and this crave for wealth display can be responsible for kidnapping, just to make money at any means. Money buys you anything in Igbo land; I mean anything, ranging from truth, respect, justice to women. Without money, one has no voice and respect in Igbo land.

When these governors want to reach out, they reach for the wrong people who are craving to come home due to their dwindling fortunes in overseas. Curbing kidnapping will start with provision of future for these youngsters. Hardly kidnapping takes place in Nigeria nowadays without the involvement of the Igbos.

Many Igbo traders men and women hardly keep business traders contractual agreements. The powerful takes it all and this kind of cheating can lead to killing or kidnapping. It is not uncommon for an Igbo business man telling his business partner after a successful business transaction that he will appropriate the profit and the other will not do “s—t”. Hear him. “I will take all the profit and if you make any noise, I will arrest you and even all members of your family and lock you up”. The other weak fellow will not leave it lie in that manner and the next thing is to arrange a killing squad or kidnapping force.

You're going offtopic, but thanks for not making a point.

Chai some Yoruba folks are seriously obsessed they won't open a thread to discuss their problems especially the ritual killings ravaging the whole sw cities because it is becoming a culture and a normal way of life. Many ritual cases in the west are been reported every week but they will see it and pretend they did not see it but always to masturbate on igbo matter. You people will die of inferior complex.

TheArchangel:
This is a classic case of compulsive obsessive disorder. Igbo obsession is real.

President Goodluck Jonathan has sent military and Police men and women to the South Eastern States, but that is not the lasting solution to armed robbery and kidnapping in the South East and elsewhere. Yes, these evil groups have to be confronted headlong, but opportunities have to be opened up for these youngsters and injustice corrected. The Igbo Governors have to understand that it is under their watch that South East has assumed the sobriquet of no go area, dens of armed robbery and kidnapping; very bad for their résumés.

It is terrible in Igbo land and our governors think that all is well. Time for lip service has gone, jobs and jobs must be created, values imparted in these youths and it is only then that the population of Igbo youths in armed robbery and kidnapping will be somewhat depleted.

I mentioned earlier in this essay the lacuna of value system in the nation, but more severe in Igbo Land. What is happing in Igbo Land is also a verdict that the family system has collapsed. The era of not putting a family to pillory has gone forever, no integrity and no name to protect any more. These armed robbers and kidnappers come from families and shame to the parents of these criminals. A rogue is a rogue any time and anywhere and if evil is not in ones DNA, it will not manifest no matter the condition

Unfortunately we have no role models in Igbo land. The politicians are some of the sources of evil, because some of them buy guns and equip these lost souls, to fight their opponents and after elections, it becomes difficult to get these lethal instruments from these idiots who agreed to be used. We need a national orientation and there is no zone that is critically in need of it than the South East. People go as far as kidnapping a reverend father, killing in the church of God and ceasing people on their way to churches. Again, job opportunities, value orientation, moderations from our politicians and tight security will stop this atrocity called kidnapping. When I was growing up, my parents kept track of my associations with the outside world. Igbo communities should do away with praising and worshipping wealth without scrutinizing the sources of the wealth. Our life styles stink.

This is food for thought. I hope you understand before its too late.

"To me personally, I believe that Sw it's the least progressive region in the country despite all their claims. My reasons being they literally the only region that didn't have any hindrance ( something they pride themselves with) yet all the regions that did (ss, se and north) are literally neck to neck to them in all the statistic provided. That's speaks alot sadly, especially we now see they decorate the poo out of their papers before presenting it. A shame if you ask me."

Yes. That's why they should copy south west that are busy developing their regions drum.
