People always bring up this 'tribalism' issue whenever Igbos talk about investing at home.

So investing in one's region to improve the place economically and infrastructurally as well as to provide employment is being tribalistic?

Last I checked, I wasn't able to find non-easterners who invested heavily in Igboland the way Igbos have done everywhere.

If the market is conducive, indigenes and foreigners alike would invest. Business isn't an altruistic venture, that's called charity.

You are guilty of what you blame your business people of doing if you take employment in Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc. Why don't you look for a job at home and contribute in igboland? Works both ways. You are looking after yourself and so is the business man!

One of the foooolish Igbo rich folks investing anywhere else but in Igboland

This businessman is a half backed food scientist. Food colorants are not in themselves inherently deadly; otherwise the US and EU food regulatory authorities would not permit them in American and European made tomatoes. It depends on what is mixed with a specific batch of colorant, which I agree the Chinese can do and bring into zoo countries such as Nigeria where there are no regulations.

In any case, to start with, who ever is heading NAFDAC as of today should be fired. That person is completely incompetent.

He said "That colorant they are using" He did not say food colorants are inherently deadly SO I think you are too hasty to condemn which is easy for someone who has achieved nothing to shout about.

Regulations are breached in every single country as countless undercover reporters have shown us.You seem to take particular delight in negative talk

Stop being an olodo. He was not referring to a specific colorant. He made a general insinuation that colorants are bad. Read and comprehend in context.

I'm glad that after many years of argument some Igbos are beginning to understand that other tribes is not our problem. These Igbos only mostly built sophisticated palatial homes in their villages which are left empty until holiday seasons or when they want to contest elections. Investing in Igboland is not about raising 4 storey building in Aba or Onitsha nor is it building the highest mansion in Nkwerre or Nkanu but doing things people like Uche Ogah and Innocent Chukwuma are presently doing.

That is your interpretation .Anyway there is no need to call your father an olodoo. Try and acquire some manners.

You quoted it yourself

THAT COLORANT THEY ARE USING ................. He went on to say he reported to NAFDAC. What did they report to NAFDAC if not a specific infraction

Stop deceiving yourself be honest for once

What is the cost of Land in Iboland that is smaller than Kwara state with all the population.DOes it make sense to use such expensive land for tomatoes?

GstringAngela:
The Ezza ibo and Ezilo ibo in Ebonyi state slaughters themselves at the slightest provocation

The Aguleri ibo and Umuleri ibo in Anambra state use to kill each other for fun

The Ngwa ibo in Abia state are human flesh eating cannibals

The Mbaise ibo in Imo state have the highest number of witches in the whole world

The Arochukwu ibo in Abia state are fake ibo

The Osu ibo are Amadioha's food

Buhahahahha. Wtf

Clown focus on your useless and worthless imo state and stop mentioning Anambra or any part thereof in your usual incoherent tirade.

is Ngwa the same as "ishi alangwa"? cuz when I was a kid, I had a neighbor from there and she always threatened whoever picked a quarell with her that she had eaten a human being during the war.

On the contrary, you're the one sounding very foolish here. Do you see urhobos fighting against urhobos? No! or ibibios against ibibios? or Fulani's against Fulani's? No, but all over Nigeria igbos are known for disputing and calling each other names eg Osu.

astrodome:


Urhobo versus Ijaw
Urhobo versus Itshekiri
Ibibio versus Annang
Fulani versus Plateau people
Fulani versus Tiv
Boko Haram versus other northerners including fellow muslims

These are all love stories, yes?

You sound very foolish.

one bottle of shawarma for you

do you not know that most food colorants are bad? Stop spewing insults all over the place.

This useless (yes, useless to Igboland) Igbo business man, after contributing to develop Lagos is now doing the same in Sokoto and Jigawa while his backyard in Anambra is on fire (figuratively speaking) ****.

[size=13pt]His decision to invest in Sokoto is well informed because tomatoes will not grow well in his part of the country.
Also, the demand for tractors is very near zero in Igbo land. The farms are not laid out the way they are in the north where the full benefits of tractor use are well experienced because the farms cover vast flat lands.

The decisions to create tomato farms in the north and to build tractor factories there are sound.

Doing it in the south would have amounted to folly.

If he was in a different business suitable to the part of the country of which he is a native, then it would have been good for him to establish there. But for these ones, he has made the right decisions.[/size]
