helinues:check the foreign investment statistics of Abia state last year. It is the second largest in the country despite Aba itself being the strong with seperatist agitation. Note that the East enjoys more local investment. The whole world know what's happening in the East is agitation. The west is suffering from sectarian violence and it's increasing and this is what killed North. 3 Likes |

Politics / The Collapse Of The North And Lagos Instability by Noneroone(m): 7:56am On May 04 |
It's funny to recall that just about year 20 years ago, threats of destruction and seizure of Igbo businesses and properties in the north in case Igbos commit acts of violence against northerners in the East or even speak in favour of seperation was a recurring decimal in Northern socio-economic life. Igbos used to fret and beg for peace meeting at any disagreement with Northerners. The political leaders in the north constantly used Igbo investment in the north as a blackmail tool against complaints of injustice.Threats that "Ibos will be suyanized" rented the media space during every period of ethnic tension. In those days in Kano, Kaduna, Maiduguri etc there were textile mills, food and beverage processing companies, paper mills and auto assembling plants. North was wore the ambience of innocence. One could walk in the night without fear of robbery. Land, labour raw materials etc were cheap and people thought it was easier to do business in the North than elsewhere. But religious and sectarian crisis made the region a ticking time bomb. Attacks on Christians and Igbo businesses were increasing. By the end of the 90s, Calls started coming for Igbos to divest from the north and face the East. With each bloody crisis, calls for divestment grew louder. Northerners believed Igbos loved North more than East and could stand anything meted to them, and so perpetuated crisis after crisis such as Sharia crisis, Jos crisis, Kano Criss in 1995 that lead to the beheading of Akaluka, 2005 cartoon crisis and the rise of boko haram etc The poorer their youths got the more they blamed and vented their frustrations on prosperous Igbos in their land, instead of their own leaders. Their elites loved it because it kept them off the hook and also gave them some level of control over the youths and their land. Elections became dangerous that Igbos is in the North became scared of voting. Igbo relocation After 2011 elections, post election violence swept through North, attacking Christians, businesses, corp members etc It was obvious a greater one was coming in 2015 following the anticipated rematch between Jonathan and Buhari. Igbos did their calculations and unanimously but noiselessly heeded the calls. Note, Igbos rapidly divested their investment from the north and did not necessarily relocate in mass. Northern Igbos invested heavily in real estate back in the East between 2013 and 2016. Some relocated their families with their investments. Abuja, Asaba Enugu, Awka and Owerri witnessed the most rapid real estate investment within 2013 and now in Nigeria. Collapse of the North Igbo divestment happened simultaneously also with the rise of terrorism and the closure of several industrial clusters in the region. Business day estimated that 232 manufacturing companies closed in Kano between 1994 and 2015. Today, the North Paints a bleak picture. It is the most terrorised and poorest region in the world. No one sees Igbo investment to bait again. Collapse of businesses comes with unemployment and crimes such as banditry, kidnapping, terrorism. This is indeed what the north is facing. Infact, it is being predicted that state governors in the North will totally lose control of the region to non state actors before 2025. To emphasize my point, the 2022 GDP of Imo state almost equals Kano and Kaduna GDP put together. It's also worth of Note that Igbos became bolder to agitate and protest Biafra after 2015. Part of the reason is the reduced economic presence in the north. Infact, when arewa youths threatened to evict Igbos over Biafra, Igbos called their bluff, until the rescind and resorted to pleas. The Rise of Instability in Lagos Like Kano, Lagos was the commercial capital of the west but being a former national capital that enjoyed incredible federal government attention gave it the economic monopoly over the rest of the country. It has also witnessed migrants from different parts of the country including from the southwest who govern the state. Migrants also include uneducated youths who have swollen up the population of touts, thugs, agberos and area boys. Like the north, Social interactions among various ethnicities in the state has lead to prosperity and envy. Like the North, politicians in Lagos have exploited these frustrations and envy among the youths to stay in power. This has lead to an increasing spate of violence and sectarian clashes in the south west and Lagos in particular. Since 2015 alone there has been more than 12 bloody clashes between Yoruba and Hausa youths in Lagos. This is beside constant clashes among area boys,motor park union members and occasional gangs like one million boys. Elections have increased ethnic tensions in Lagos since 2011, but like the north, this has degenerated to thuggery, sectarian attacks, arson, and lootings. During the end SARS protests, this pattern of violence which involved arson, lootings of businesses and clashes played out the most in Lagos, despite the authorities trying to shift blames. Again, during xenophobic attacks in South Africa, retaliatory lootings happened to perceived ShopRite malls Lagos, Ibadan and Abuja but nowhere in the East. Signifying the increasing fluidity of southwestern socioeconomic atmosphere. Elections in Lagos have moved from ethnic tensions to ethnic violence since 2015 After threats of violence against the Igbos by the Oba of Lagos, with the attacks non Yoruba voters and businesses especially those belonging to Igbos. Like the North, south west elites like it. They are even alleged to be playing along by weaponizing laws for ethnic Vendetta through controversial demolitions of market and houses. Calls for Igbo divestment from Lagos has increased since 2015. Like the case of the North, it's getting more intense after each election. For the first time, the mainstream of Igbo business circle in lagos admit Lagos is unsafe for business while a lot of them have made substantial relocation plans( I can confirm this) Considering that Igbo economic presence in Lagos is the last major link Igbos have with Nigeria, divestment will not only be devastating for Lagos but for the broader idea of one-Nigeria, but it's happening anyway. 2 Likes |

mrvitalis:you remember I did say some of you Obidients need to go for serious mental checks. An investor wants to establish a diary farm. A highly needed and profitable production venture with numerous finished products and you call it socialism. What then is capitalism? Government investing in business by giving out "loans" to people whose skills and business exposure are questionable? Do you know how much government spend in the north to subsidize agriculture? Yet, they are the poorest people in the world. The governor only needs to provide him all he should for his business to thrive. 1 Like |

gidgiddy:The first Christian missionaries in Igboland was Samuel Ajayi crowther and his men. For years, they were known as the only Christian missionaries that exist. When shanahan visited Obi Akazue, the Onitsha king asked him the popular question "is the church two"? Before he could finish explanations, he asked him to meet crowther his colleague and sort out issues with him. The land where Catholic presence in Onitsha sits today was given them FREELY by the CMS. Coupled with the introduction of the central Igbo dialect, August meeting etc, the CMS fostered unity in Igboland. Unfortunately, the Irish missionaries didn't toe that line. They literarily imported the Irish civil war into Igboland, causing the denominational frictions which Igbos now fight against. The mission universities springing up in the East are most welcome. 6 Likes 3 Shares |
