This article said nothing. I cannot figure out the essence of this garbage posted here. It was just intended to draw traffic to NL.

Very very sad but true.

I was talking with a family member about this same issue just after the elections and I said see how other zones spoke with one voice. They are united but why are our brothers like this? If they can't be united, how do they even join forces with another region and cause a change?

They can't even unite and present one candidate by themselves - why? That's where Hausa beat us every bloody time! Look at Atiku and Buhari. Oh well someday I guess...

Igbos are the most ambitious people on earth. They can do any thing for that dream to come true

DukeNija:
And you had to bring this to the front page because it has Igbo in it right? Who is Etcetera or what ever his name is. A failed artist talks about Igbo people and it makes front page. God go punish una

[s]This is what we are talking about. You people brag too much. This is why other people resent your tribe. You are not the best thing that happened since slice bread. You are not better than any other ethnic group. You are not more blessed than any other ethnic group. You are just among many ethnic group God created. Whatever u believe u achieved is not because u are more favoured or because of God's special love. Other ethnic groups in africa are also braking grounds. They might not be as vocal as u people. They don't brag and surely do not come to people's faces to tell them how they are better than the rest. Get it........


Abeg I am tired of igbo this and that. Let's talk about the south south or some other ethnic group and bring out positive vibes about them not this people who believe they are next to god[/s]

The igbos are a bunch of bloody town-criers who always cry of marginalization whereas they're the most tribalistic tribe in Nigeria. Biafra would have been the worst entity if it had come into existence. The average igbo man or woman is very greedy. Abia, Ebonyi, Imo and Anambra are an eyesore and that would have reflected the true nature of the so called biafra republic. Ndigbo as an organization is a big joke. MASSOB is the biggest joke of all considering their push for biafra. Yeebos sha. Yeebos and greed are like siamese twins. Thank God for not making an igbo person.

teufelein:


nonsense, absolutely hogwash...name those dark creatures from other dark continent? you better believe it without Biafra black race is for eternity consigned to dustbin of history/doomed...Biafrans are directly sent by supreme Chukwu Abiama to bring LIGHT to black race!

Entchidodo:
The last thing the igbos need are turn coats and freelance noisemakers such as this^^^ to tell us the political trends and where we should invest. Goes to show the kind of folks who are horribly inept at foreseeing and analysing the large percentile of the middle class (the engine hub of every major economic super power) consisting majorly of the igbos,infact most igbos-at least 70%- are of the middle class and upwards despite government inattention negligience,corruption and supposed lack of political power.Tis all about economics of scale,a Dangote or an oil thieving Otedola are pretty much useless without a strong middle class. With pockets of exceptional 'spheres of industrialists' forged from the same melting pot that is Nigeria's middle class, willing to give the Otedolas and Dangotes a serious run for their monies, most of them here can congratulate themselves for a job well done especially when it is an open secret these exceptional igbo industrialists and savvy bussiness men in their hundreds of thousands started from £20 at best.Igbos for a long time ironically have been accused of too much greed to allow unity take them to promised land as far as political relevance in Nigeria is concerned and with what political pundits have seen lately as regards to our blockvotes both in the East and Diaspora...we are looking at an emerging socio-economic/political giant thus ETC is barking up the wrong tree.

I give God the glory for making you a yoruba with a fulani Emir sh11ting down your neck in your land. May Jehovah be praised.

proudlyhandsome:


The funny thing about Igbos is that if you come to Europe-UK/Ireland and US/Canada precisely, the 80% of Nigerian businesses in these countries are owned by Yorubas while Igbos do what Yorubas do in Nigeria; go to 8am - 4pm jobs.

You ll hardly see Igbos engaging in businesses in these countries I have mentioned.

Gbagi market and Aleshiloye Market in Ibadan alone are as big as Ladipo and Alaba combined. What is the noise all about?

Have you notice that all the Billionaires from North and West don't go to the East to invest their money? As business minded as Dangote is, do you notice that he actually stayed away from South East? Igbos need to address this issue holistically.

You are a disgrace to your people, igbos don't need disgrace and cowards.

[s] Hahaha. I'm a gem to my people. I'm not surprised it's coming from the flat headed tribe called yeebos. I reject any thing that will make me igbo. I know you'll think I'm yoruba but sorry to burst your bubbles I'm not. I'm from a tribe where the king is truly king. A tribe where the king is a graduate of Cambridge University unlike your hopeless and illiterate igwes. The igbos are the criminal class in Nigeria. They're the ones that open beer parlours in Spain and called it an embassy and the people that give Nigeria a bad name wherever they go. Come to think of it. Shouldn't you be out there stealing or something? That's what you yeebos are known for. [/s]

Does it make investment sense? Seriously. Pls let's stop being sentimental.

Entchidodo:
chest beater from Southwest....

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. [/s]
