but really, is anybody preventing others not to dominate the market or become traders by choice while having other means of livelihood. Buttom line, da rest of naija just wanna grab the money coming 4rom Oil leaving everyother path of income. Bottom line, others are doing what is called "Comparative Advantage" so no one is to blame, you should be able to diversify yourself.

All of you are shameless hypocrite and I am disappointed about your comment. Non of you has quoted a single sentence that I wrote and claim its a lie. Every single Nigerians knows every words in that write up is a fact. Why am I been castigated for stating the obvious.
On this forum must Ibo people pretend as if they are the victim, but in actual fact they are the perpetrators. The rest of Nigeria are a victim of a ruthless Ibo mafia whose sole agenda is economy domination , while eliminating any opposition. How can people who formed less than 30% of Nigerian population be dominating our entire country economy. Nigeria presidency is by negotiation and a trade off. The Ibo cannot dominate the market and at the same time have the presidency. You cannot eat
@Billygoat, are you planning to turn Nigeria into a socialist state?. Is the igbo man standing in your way to make something for yourself. If the igbo is dominating the economic scene even after going through the war, is that not a thing of shame to others especially you?. Nigeria is a capitalist society. Instead of whining like your fore fathers, why not look for a way to breakthrough in whatever you are doing and also find the factor that is responsible for igbo domination. Hint: may be if you look into the issue of family, procreation and polygamy, you may find part of the answers. It's a pity that a 30 year old man with 3 wives and 13 children will be wondering how his 30 year old igbo neighbor with one wife and 2 children is saving more than him. It's a pity.

At least you have realized that claiming the presidency will not solve your problems. The north did it for donkey years yet they are the poorest in the country even though the have the richest goons in Nigeria, why?. Because for you to remain wealthy, you have to know how to create wealth. Igbos have the highest number of middle class citizens in Nigeria and that's because they create wealth. CNN was showing those that won millions in America the other day and how they went bankrupt a fews years after and people were wondering why. You can sit on Abiola's moneey and swim murkily through it just for a few years. If you know one problem your peoples presidency have solved for them, let me hear it. Better go get yourself a job and stop hoping on Aso rock. |

This woman sure has a bizarre sense of humour. Why are you laughing as if they don't know what is holding them back. 90% of the almajiris and alayes in Yorubaland are from polygamous homes. Do the math. Is Billygoat asking for igbos to share their wealth with him or what?. Did the igbos ask him to waste his salary on booze and punani? |

Those hating on the igbo man's financial success and business acumen need to be reminded of one thing. If you ever saw the devotion that an average igbo man puts into his business then there would be no reason to hate. They arrive at their 'sheds' first and leave last, they drop out of school to pursue the thing that they think is important to them. He will lay down his life to defend his business. Their devotion is fodder for many stand up comics' jokes but its little wonder their businesses thrive! Instead of hating why not just learn a few things and buy a clue? Besides why blame the whole igbo race? Not every igbo man is street smart or even successful. What has tribe got to do with a suitable presidential candidate?  |

Why??
I don't know everything about Nigeria.
There must be a reason why Igbo candidates are kept at bay.
Major Reason: religion Igbos are seen as christian crusaders just like Hausas are seen as islamic crusaders in Nigeria. Yorubas are in between and it'll be easier for alhaji to work with a yoruba christian just like an igbo christian will trust a yoruba muslim more when it comes to invading their land with messages from mohammed. Yorubas have the advantage of religion and population too. Again, the presidency is now rotated every 8 years. The igbos that are talking about 2011 are joking because the north has 4 more years, then the igbos, then the North central, the south south, the north west, the south west and so on unless there is a chaos along the line as usual. |

Then why do people bother to vote if the thing has already been decided by the oracles? Was the last one not between Buhari and yaradua. The constitution was rewritten during Obj's regime. Next one should be between yaradua and another northerner. Any igbo, ijaw or yoruba trying to run for presidency in 2011 is looking for trouble. |

I disagree. . . .
OBJ is a Christian. . . . . Read what i wrote again. Hausas don't view yorubas as christian extremists, they view them as christian liberals while igbos are viewed as core christian effigies. That is why anytime there is religious war in the country, they target igbos. They are not fighting them because they hate them, rather it's because they hate what they stand for. Do u really think em Northerners would allow an Igbo man to sit there?? Northerners are known to cause trouble that will rewrite history and Nigeria being what it is, anything goes. Don't be surprised they'll scatter the arrangement by 2015 to remain in power. History has shown they derive energy from violence and up till now, they hold the 4 aces. Why should a Yoruba man or igbo man allow chaos when they'll lose all they've worked for?. It's like waging a war against alayes when your car, children, home and business is at risk. Who will lose in such war?. Until we southerners devise a way to bring the north to par with our economic status, they'll continue to be bugs. Will you agree for your siblings to miss three years of school because you want to fight the nomadic north? |

Could this be the ripples of the Civil War in 1967?? I don't wanna hang on to religion. . . . .It's too weak to be used as the reason Igbo people are sidelined. There are Christians in the North so what are you on about?? |

My grandfather told us how he carried his bails of okirika with his servants and travelled on foot from one market to market to cater for his family Before he could afford to hire a pick up . My own brothers while in the university always thought of what business to do. They bought electric clippers and barbed hair for a fee They hired pick up vans and transported goods for traders including nama from the train stations to slaughter houses on weekends they made so much money that dad eventually helped them buy a pick up van of their own. During the many strikes,they would follow gwongworo to northern Nigeria,buy bags of beans and dried pepper and sold to traders and on ocassions would be in the markets themselves selling the pepper. They bought frozen chicken in boxes and sold to local restaurants and bukas. They bought okirika from Aba, laundered and ironed them and sold to class mates. My sisters also sold things while in college. My brothers and male cousins worked in my dad's building sites with labourers carrying cements and these are children from college educated parents I'm the only one in my family with absolutely no inclination to buying and selling or any sort of business Mom ( a professional woman) has sold everything from bedsheets to soy milk and make up People shouldn't be hating on the Igbo man and his desire to succeed in business. it's akalaka (The gift of God) |

It got to a point where we had to beg her to stop embarrassing us with all these hustler business and remember she is "Onye Nkuzi". . .but since we don't have any alternative and didn't like the idea of smoking gari with water and palm kernel, we all had to STFU and let the woman do her thing.  My father took his hoe(ogu. . . it is a farm implement) the farm and provided all everyone with humongous tubers of yam as big as Okocha's legs, maize, pineapple, every specie of mango imaginable, guava, apples. . . all in commercial quantity. Heck he was running a small scale poultry farm in our home town. . . with plenty chickens, 'torotoro'. He had rabbits, pigs, goats(ngwo ngwo anyone? ). . . we survived those grueling strike days because of the hustler couple. . . |

And considering the fact that most igbo state have about the same local govt as lagos, oyo and others which have the same population with the whole of the south east put together.
The igbo should not expect us to look and support thier dream for president while they support injustice done to us. this is just to name lagos, not to talk of ondo, oyo or ogun. where the same injustice is the same. if the igbo dream of presidency, they should openly support our desire to join the republic of benin. And thier own dream of presidency would come true. And can tell you , we would openly support thier dream, if they support own dream to be part of the republic of Benin.
The igbo has to understand that it is nearly impossible for the yorubas to support thier dream for presidency, knowing full well that the igbos ohaneze ,senators and others have not open support our dream of been part of the republic of benin. Their dream of nigeria presidency we shall support if they support our dream of been part of the republic of Benin. Ohaneze and igbo senators and reps can see our map. they should support it and we would support thier dream for presidency of nigeria too.
