Always complaining, bragging, giving ultimatum, threats... una no dey tire?

RockHard:


Yeah, and yet since independence no single SE state is even mentioned among the top 5 economic contributors in Nigeria alone, not to talk of Africa. Doesn't charity begin at home again?? I think what you meant to say is that Nigeria will become the drug-trafficking capital of the world within 5 years. Sometimes I wonder the kind of egbo some of you smoke before typing. lol

I didnt want to comment on this thread but I will becus of what u typed.. now.. if u understand the powers of the federal government in the current structure of nigeria.. u will understand why many states are backward..

I know u will mention lagos.. lolz.. Lagos is far ahead of states in Nigeria becus no state in Nigeria enjoys the economic attention the state enjoys... and states around Lagos suppose to dey shine but that is not the case..

Lagos enjoyed many decades of federal govt attention..and british attention.. No sea port in south east or proper rail link and u want the region to develop..

The men run to lagos to do business and contribute a lot to lagos's internally generated revenue.. well... Nigeria has a whole is yet to make any development.. I hope u understand my point and not allow sentiment to wipe off reality from u.. U are talking about a region that has not really enjoyed federal govt intervention for decades.. no federal govt institutions that can attract investors.. at least u av some federal govt institutions having their headquaters in the north, south but u cant find any in south east.. I cant believe south east is even able to stand till date.. with the policies against that region.. most regions cant survive it...

Yet.. poverty level is low there.. becus of individual hustle..

what do u knw abt economic contributions? Igbos contribute the greater part of human capital powering the whole of the federation!
The thing is dat igbos mostly excel in anything they do. U mischievously chose just the illicit drugline 2 malign the igbos. How about sports? Education? Entertainment? Trade n commerce? Manufacturing? Technologyy? Transport? Etc etc

Truth hurts but must be told

Look, Igbo's have have to forgot all that nonsense about being superior to others and people envying them. That couldn't more far from the truth. Nobody is jealous of Igbo's.FACT!!!! When I hear all that I sometimes feel like if these people were White, they will be more racist than the White racist people or the Zionist Jews. Sad that we have people like this is our country.

But you and your cotravellers can go about killing Igbos and destroying their business premises. As if that's not enough you lots support and hail the deployment of murderous soldiers harrassing, molesting, maiming, kidnapping and annihilating Igbos for choosing to seek self-determination.

Gbam! Let me add dis,...

Wot nigerians need is igbo leadership! Nigeria is running around in circles because Nigerians are deliberately stiffling the igboman. Give the igboman nigeria and in 5years,nigeria will compete with singapore and malaysia,...give him like 15years like has been given 2 the yoruba nation and nigeria will compete favorably with countries like france and canada,..well den give dem like 50years dat has been given to the north and watch nigeria sit pretty with countries like usa and china!


But for the time being,..

Rubbish. You guys couldn't even develop your communities and you are too selfish amoung yourselves to develop anything. You are the headquarters of crime in our country and you made the most contribution to tarnish the name of Nigeria Abroad. Your overproudness is comparable to that of Hitler's Germany and colonial masters.

Please, kindly mention one policy that's inimical to the SE that's not inimical to other parts of Nigeria.
You ppl are just too arrogant, if the Igbo race were to be white your racism will be the worst.
You all go around thinking and feeling you contribute to Nigeria more than any other ethnic.
Indead condemning a statement aimed at eliciting hatred and intolerance you wanna buttress it.

Can you dare compare what Nebo stated with the xenophobic statement by your Oba Akiolu of Lagos who promised to drown Igbos in Lagos lagoon if they fail to vote in his annointed gubernatorial candidate?

He was once a minister of the federal Republic and a clergy he calls himself also

You know people hate you because you likewise do to others what you profess.

Jealousy and competitive display is not hatred, it's part of man's heritage

He says all Igbo should come together to be an island to itself. He didn't answer the question of what would become of your competitors ; how would they react

It's simple: they stop patronizing the igbos business. It can be done.

It's high time the igbos stop this emotional outburst. No, your competitors can't like you. It's simple.

This boastful attitude is annoying and frankly has been one of our problems.

We don't need pride if we are going to be together.
We must come together and agree to follow one person.

I don't object you leaving this country at all. But your wish should not override that of honest, hard working, descent Nigerian Igbo's who believe in our country and reject you IPOB project.

Reckless statement from the highly placed Igbos to kindle fires of hateful sentiments from ordinary Igbos and thereby controlling them hate.

If a former Federal Minister and Vice Chancellor could publicly make these statements, it is no wonder we are where we are today.

In Lagos under 'One Nigeria' there exists a silent economic war of destruction of livelihoods burning of markets in the middle of the night, extortion and harassment of genuine businesses by official area boys and street urchins, illegal/multiple taxing of business owners, in markets where Igbos operate e.g. Tejuoso, Alaba International and Ladipo. And now Oshodi electrical & electronic market.

Many of these attracious deeds are conducted at odd times when the traders won't be available to resist the dastardly acts.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos.

Yorubas hide under the guise of city development at the expense of the people's welfare and claim they had given the traders ample time to relocate and yet the demolition is carried out at odd times.

Shops are demolished without compensation and someone will still say the traders were given sufficient notice of vacation as if the alternative is affordable. The proposed alternative shops are oftentimes so exorbitant and out of reach by the common man.

Igbos are made to develop barren locations and thereafter chased away to an undeveloped area or a complex beyond the reach by the common man.
Many a time the destruction of shops are selectively done exempting where Yorubas sell agbo, weed and fake medicine just like in Oshodi where Electronic shops belonging to Igbos were demolished.

It takes a callous and wicked government to destroy livelihoods just to justify beautification of a city at the expense of people's economic empowerment.

Prior to the 2015 general elections, amidst the threat by the lagoon crooner to drown Igbos, 18 Chisco transport buses were criminally burnt down in Lagos and up till date nothing was done to bring the culprits to book.

What does 'One Nigeria' mean?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

Bro what the man said is the truth, other parts of Nigeria hate the Igbos a lot especially the Yorubas and you know this. If you look at the opposition to Biafra, the yorubas are at the forefront, the Hausas are not even showing much resistance. So the hatred is there and I know you also hate them

The different is visible in the context of both.

The Oba made the comment in a meeting in his Palace, the Oba was provoked, angry and reacted wrongly. Most of the Yorubas condemned him.

But this one was unsolicited, unprovoked... He just said what's in his mind bluntly. And instead of condemning it, you people, in your typical manner thought it best to fan the amber of hatred and intolerance.


And if you keep claiming you too acted disdainfuly just cos someone else did. Then you're worst of the former

If you're honest and sincere you'd support the clamour for a simple referendum and self-determination by IPOB.

If you aren't a hypocrite you'd condemn your Yoruba tribesmen shamelessly making a living out of Igbos quest for nationhood.

Anyone that's annoyed at the progress of others cannot progress. It's not a curse, u cannot develop an habit/achievement u hate to see in others. I used to call all Millionaires thieves, the more passionate hatred for the wealthy grew, the more my poverty increased. Till I read Think and Grow Rich, and The Millionaires Mindset and I saw my wrong midset. Now, I'm a Millionaire to GOD's Glory. It's not a mistake and not by Chance. Go into trading, buying and selling; it's the easiest way to become a Millionaire.

Show me the way, please

Prof abeg go and seat down,u re nt making sense, u had d opportunity 2 reform and transform d Power sector, when u served as Minister of power, nw u want Igbos 2 come home and invest, what re dey going 2 use 2 power machines, equipments in dat industry, factory, company, u want dem 2 come Established here, prof u re saying this because u re already nursing political ambition

I do understand that many of you Yoruba bigots speak shamelessly from both sides of the mouth. It's really pathetic how overgrown lazy bones who cannot do without envying those they claim to be better than.

To help your hypocrisy a bit read the message SLS has for your most tribalistic tribe:

"YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude...
