when was that and given me links to your claim 

EzeUche_:

He indeed said that in one of his interviews. The man would rather hire an expatriate if a Hausa could not do that job instead of a fellow Africa.

eku_bear:

Hrm. I thought he said Southerner, not "African."

It sort of makes sense. No zone in Nigeria wants to be taken over by people from outside of that zone.

KenGali:

Daft country full of daft policy makers.
Only last year Innoson re-energized the sector. Now someone wants to use tax payers money to help China dump her goods on us and kill off the Auto industry. Or is it because the auto industry is located in the East , . more likely! Even if you do not buy from the local manufacturers, what is the effect of using government money to fund massive importation on their business.

Easterner's need to make it a policy to drive Innoson vehicles. I'll definitely buy one, even if its just to spite haters in Lagos!

Dede1:

Of course, such incoherent rant from A Bello will make sense to you. If the crap was allegedly said by Zik, you would have gone into shock.

Onlytruth:

This is the view of a thoroughly educated Yoruba man. 
Shocking beyond words.

eku_bear, please why do you bother to attack Igbos who want out of Nigeria?
You don't do it overtly, you always do side attacks and think that we don't see it.

eku_bear:

The words are very simple to understand. That you don't understand them shows you've not thought at all about the issues.
*shrug* I'm not the roadblock to Igbos leaving Nigeria. Those who believe in the territorial integrity of Nigeria and African countries are the ones you'll have to struggle against. And they are legion, both within Africa and outside of it.

You are tilting at windmills.

eku_bear:

Be objective. Do you want your own region ruled and dominated by outsiders? Xenophobia is not a new thing on this planet.
If you consider how hollow the population #s of the north are likely to be, then why on earth would they be keen on tons of immigrants from the south? Do that and you end up like the Native Americans did.

Survival must take priority over political correctness, imo.

naijaking1:

Wow!
Why are you talking about being ruled and dominated when we're just talking about offering jobs to your fellow countryman. You paid a young medical doctor graduate 20,000 those days and he's happy, but that's not what happens. They go hire questionably qualified Indian doctors for 60,000. They are able to dish out the 60,000, because they had recieved money from the federal purse from the oil of the south, and yet you refuse to hire southerners. Does that make sense, the system definitely wouldn't hold for too long.

eku_bear:

^-- I am in no way shape or form pro-North. Lol. Never in 1 million years. I'm a SW dude through and through. But I've always thought it important to understand what motivates the other side (or sides in this case, since Nigeria has so many factions. . .)

Also, nowhere have I discussed morality in any of this; evil done out of fear is as bad as evil done out of hate, envy, etc. But morality isn't what I'm discussing, mostly motivation.

asorocker:

The chinese products is not cheap in the long run more money will be spent in spares and servicing.

The Igbos will have to do some economic integration to sell their cars locally among ibos first and next with their neigbhours in south south and north central , then next all over the country

I do understand the strategic need to appreciate the movitation of ones opponent which maybe simply academic, [size=14pt]however, many times on this forum educated people have succumbed to ethnic and tribal chivalry based on fear and self preservation. [/size]

Finally, you've identified what you yourself have been in denial about. You kept on misreading eku-bear, for the very reason in the bolded portion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with eku-bear's statements and some may conclude that it is myopic to interprete his statements as tantamount to support for the North.

@topic, it is narrow minded and s.tupid to simply purchase buses from indigenous manufacturer instead of from China, if the Chinese can sell better products for less. These indigenous manufacturers need to learn to be competitive by building better and cheaper products. Shikena.

@eku-bear, doesn't eku mean rat in your language? What does this handle of yours signify if its not just a random handle?

naijaking1:

No wonder they call you Mr. Inconsistency. Could you answer eku-bears for once.
I do understand your support for greater and larger federal government role in our lives, especially since the federal beauraucry is bloated with Hausa/Fulani oligarchs. It's no surprise that any policy not directly impacting positively on you guys will never see the light of day. You'll fool noone, my friend.

ndu_chucks:

How did you reach this conclusion from my single post on this thread? Are your biases controlling you again? geezzz. What question of eku-bears are you suggesting that I answer?

eku_bear:

So what exactly does the Igbo man want? I'm against subsidies, but don't mind the gov't helping you (and everyone) cut down cost of production. This imo is a wiser course of action than the outright buying of overpriced goods. Yet it seems that this is not good enough.

So again, what do you want?
