chy101: A lot is being discussed here to reposition the former Eastern region as a whole..

Billyonaire: What are all these aged Igbo men doing in a foreign country, instead of staying put and helping build their home, they are over there enjoying what the founders of America worked for. In the end, the topic of the discussion will be "How Nigeria is not moving forward". How can Nigeria move forward, when all of us are moving outwards ?

chy101: World Igbo Congress
The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi speaking at the on-going World Igbo Congress in Houston, Texas - as I post, he is still speaking . Details after his speech.

ukeleh: Why should Igbo Congress hold in Houston not Nigeria? Have they ever see British or Europeans coming to Africa for conference?

The Casablanca Conference (codenamed SYMBOL) was held at the Anfa Hotel in Casablanca, French Morocco from January 14 to 24, 1943, to plan the Allied European strategy for the next phase of World War II. In attendance were United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and representing the Free French forces, Generals Charles de Gaulle, and Henri Giraud. Premier Joseph Stalin had declined to attend, citing the ongoing conflict in Stalingrad required his presence in the Soviet Union.

Billyonaire: Its a shame, because over the years, these aged Igbo men can not still be integrated to the pure American fold and dream. There is no pride in exile, whether self imposed or conditioned. Exile is Exile. The title of the thread should be "Igbo men in exile discussing the problems of Nigeria in absenteeism". Igbo Kwenu.
