Be serious. If you have been to the SW, you would know that the way Igbos live in the SW isn't even a funny thing. But very sad.

It is never one market that they trade in, but in all markets. They are everywhere, and very poor. Like zombies.

I am enjoying your LIES jor, shooot, nothing wrong with it.

Very Poor you say, but these Igbos states - Anambra and Abia, two out of six states with high volumes of monies received.

You're pathetic. When did electronics, and spare parts or used clothing become petty business? Do you know what petty is? Again, just in case you missed what you said, here it is again.

Before you change your mouth from selling second hand clothes to those who sell it on the roadside. Arguing with you can be tiresome, like seriously. Again, when does selling spare parts, electronics, and second hand clothes become petty? Business is petty because of the "VOLUME" of sales, and not the type... So quit this ignorant shitt.

Lol, you seriously need help.

If you call OK sellers that have stalls petty trade, then I wonder what you will call gala hawkers or roadside groundnut sellers, or market women selling food stuff like tomatoes or onion or the fish roasters. Lol, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, there's a difference between Petty, Small and Medium size business. grin grin

Even your mentality is that of a poor people. Aspiring to sell common groundnut by the roadside is very sad. Thinking that second hand clothes sellers are running "big business"! I laugh and cry. grin

Is this why you think you run Lagos State? Because you run all the PETTY businesses, while Yoruba run construction, accounting firms, law offices, manufacturing, etc, etc?

Please reach higher. Even your dreams are too small. And even a common Google search will tell you where Ojukwo studied and lived as a child.

You obviously are just taking a piss to feel good. By the time the okrika seller grows large enough to rent a shop and import two containers every three months he will become a landlord under your noses while his mates from your area are still chasing after danfo buses to collect 20 naira. Then the cries of "my fada land" go start again. grin

Lmao! Tell that to cashkid and your other brothers here that were begging us to believe that Igbos never come to the SW, just Lagos.

Like dayokanu stated, until we see Yoruba leaving their communities in droves to go to the East, we will ALWAYS know who is richer. Migration patterns don't lie. Same reason you see Nigerians fleeing to Europe in large numbers, but only see a trickle the other way around.

Face it. You could not feed yourself or your family operating solely in the SE, so you came to the SW because the economy is better.

Iboland is the most hostile region to stay in

We have Portharcourt, kano, Jos, Ibadan all in different region with huge migrant population.
Is there a study to that effect, or we are working with hunches and stuff.

Dude, Igboland is very acconodating but certainly not for the faint of heart.
Unlike the South West, with her discriminatory policies aka the indigene-settler-guest trifecta. Or her insistence that other Nigerians curtsey to her Babloja. Or repatriating/deporting/reuniting/whatever other word that can dissolve away the enormity of that of fence meted out to other Nigerians.

BTW, the day I saw Ondo State's Wiki page taking pride in Emeagwali as one of her notable persons, I was quite happy with Yoruba's albeit for a split second...the next second, your Awo-wannabe in Lagos stirred the hornets nest by engendering the Host-guest brouhaha. It's like the Southwest has two extreme, conflicting philosophies/perceptions of what Nigeria ought to be.

You just alluded to the fact that South East is a hell hole

How many Americans leave their country for Congo or even Mexico?

Even one of the Ibo posters on this thread is in Ogun, One said he lived in Ibadan. almost all the Ibos on this forum dont even live in their region because of its a Hell hole

Even from the 60's several Ibos fled their homeland because of the extreme poverty

Mention 2 cities in Enugu state outside of the state capital with a population of over 100,000

Oyo has Oyo, Ogbomoso, Saki etc

Osun has Ilesha, Ede, Ila

Ondo has Owo, Ondo

Ogun has Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, Ota, Agbara

Even Ekiti has Ilawe, Ikere etc

Fact is Enugu and the entire SE is a hell hole and extreme poverty pervades the whole place

lol funny but false and the worst lie that even you yourself don't even believe it...

its a lie that you tell yourself and brothers that hate the SE so you can believe it, swallow it and somehow try to sleep at night...

but the truth is that with your high GDPs... people in the SW are starving and can NOT afford beans at 550 naira... your brother put it succinctly "We want everybody and government to come to our aid and help so that we don’t die of hunger,” - Saidi Baoku,
http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/19870-pandemonium-as-hausa

So your false information and comical lies and the most ridiculous interpretation of statics by an uneducated fellow is your last resort seeing how the SE is progressing and leaving y'all just to keep hating...

If someone is poor... they are able to board a plane, or night bus and pay the thousands of naira cost of transport to cross the niger and come to Lagos?

Your next lie will be that they walked across the river lol your oily head has no brains to wonder how they can afford to travel to "your" Lagos as "poor" abi?

Maybe it needs to be drummed into your oily head that trips to Lagos (by Igbos) are mainly to use the ports, both sea and air... which is FG owned.... now Enugu has an int'l airport, we have seen how y'all wanna die of hate...
---
... and you guys seem to have an affinity and interest in that word "flee" ... that's a word cowards always at the top of their minds in life... coincidence?

and before you spew your Ojukwu line... know that while a coward's first instinct is to flee... a brave man and soldiers first instinct is to fight!
