My friend be civilised, watch what u say.
Well as for di§ etcetera guy, I've always enjoyed his write-ups they are always on point. Igbos should take a cue from d recent elections. Its high time we borrowed a leaf from d westerners and northerners and put our acts together, true to fact we are the economic powerhouse of Nigeria, but due to selfishness and d I.B.O «I before others» mentality we've not bn able to achieve anything politically. Etcetera is defo on point, wish owelle, obi nd orji read this

Shame on the preson who presented this topic.
Is it now a forgotten fact that in Igbo land, every man is a king unto himself?
Instead of hide behind a pen to whine like a sick dog, become what you feel is non-existent.
I'm tired of reading pointless articles.

all these men are criminals. they're what they're because of stealing biafran monies...without crude oil these men are absolutely nothing!

...just wait, when Biafra is restored, the supreme Chukwu Abiama will restore the glory, dignity and pride of black race.

The funny thing about your write is that you had just made this same mistake El cetera was trying to correct; unnecessary chest-beating.

Just listen to yourself, "East is economic powerhouse of Nigeria", says who? You i presumed. If Northerners stop bringing food to the East, Westerners stop you from migrating to the West and SS people send you packing from their land, pls how would you survive it cos that was what led to what you called Genocide during the civil war in 60s.

If Biafra leaves Nigeria today without making an attempt to secede with any SS part, Nigeria ll move on without any regret. If Yoruba leaves today, Nigeria ll equally move on without any regret.

Stop this chest-beating over nothing my friend. It has done more damage to Igbo race than good. What is the values of all stocks in Alaba market and Ladipo that Abacha son or common Balogun son (Trying to use the least person among millionaires not even billionaires) won't be able to pay for without leaving wherever they are.

First on the list of what Igbos need to do away with is chest-beating attitude. Dangote and Danjuma investments alone in Nigeria could amount to 90% of all Igbo investments home and abroad but you hardly see Northerners making noise about it. The same thing applicable to Otedollar and Adenuga( lets leave the likes of Dantata,Ayinde, Folawiyo,Okoyas and Alakija out of this), you hardly see Yorubas making noise about it.

Let's apply/bring this chest-beating attitude to individual level so as to see the damage it has done to Igbos. As an individual, you bragged about your success in the midst of people you perceived as unsuccessful businessmen but unknown to you that they are have recorded more success than you in 100 folds but only being modest and quiet about their success. Naturally as humans including you, you would avoid this type of person and that is why you will hardly see any business partnership between Igbo and Hausa/Fulani or Igbo and Yoruba billionaires.

The second paragraph of el cetera write up is a normal thing for a leader to say to inspire his followers. It does not necessarily mean that those things were done.

I think he is right with a lot of things here apart from the "greed" part. Greed is a stereotype that other tribes use to mock the Igbos and cover their own issues. I thing Igbos are ambitious and have this never-give-up attitude which makes people envy them.

Now tell me what is greed here: An native of Bayelsa saw that Igbo business men were trooping into the state from the north due to insurgency over there. The Igbo man wanted to rent a shop that normally cost 150,000 but the Bayelsa man insisted that the Igbo man must pay 280,000 and for two years. This Igbo man took the risk (he couldnt help it) and paid the rent.

fast forward to few months later

A customer came to buy a product which should sell for 500 and this Igbo man sold it 600 so as to make up for the cost of everything.

Who is greedy here? The shopowner or the Igbo biz man?

Etcetera has thrown down the bitter truth, very bitter and it is truth. But truth spoken in public becomes a public disgrace. Chei...Ndigbo, na wa o. Pascal Uche alias Etcetera, you get mind oh. Igbos have cheated me too much in business sef. But not all of them are bad oh. etcetera take am easy oh. Abeg...

Airforce1:


Wow cool

I'm from IMO too

We all know that most igbos united to keep GEJ in office. They only chose the wrong candidate (who had wrecked the image of Nigeria) because of their hatred for any tribe on the other side of River Niger.

Funny enough, the same Yorubas helped their candidate gain some votes in the southwest but many Igbos will ignore that as usual. You can imagine how it would have been if the Yorubas treated this as a tribal election (like the Igbos did); the gap would have been a big disgrace to GEJ.

To me that is their biggest problem. They feel they are better than everybody. They feel doing business or having a four by four shop means someone is hardworking while a yorubas man who wakes up by 6 am goes to work and come back by 7pm is termed lazy. They feel the yoruba meat sellers and the conductors are not working for their jobs. I really don't understand when they say yorubas are lazy. If they buy and sell, is it only igbos that buy from them. And they believe all this lies that it makes them look like clowns. Nobody takes them seriously again. They are braking grounds in the world. What ground have they broken that another ethnic group hasn't done. This is pure inferiority complex.
