Nice opinion, but there's something you people seem not to understand. This thread is Anambra thread, not Southeast thread nor Ndi Igbo thread. If what you have to say is not about the developmental strides in Anambra, please check the next door. You need to learn from Frankie, he concentrates on the happenings in Anambra, he never compares Anambra with other SE states. You all are accusing Chino of derailing this thread but I think you people are the ones derailing the thread by turning it into Southeast thread or Ndi Igbo thread. I, Frankie and Chino will make sure that doesn't happen. Every Igbo man and woman is my brother and sister, I love the unity of Southeast but I owe my first allegiance to my beloved Anambra state. E kenekwaa m unu.

I dont know where you ve been to but such clannish disposition as yours is not needed here. Just a candid reminder:Are you aware that it was the high depth of intellectual discussions at the Enugu thread that necessitated calls for this thread by well meaning blue-blooded Igbo sons and daughters in a bid to diversify and share the success story our states are gradually becoming? Be well guided. In discussing "Igbocentric" ideas,the shades as they apply to Anambra,Enugu etc are unravelled and promoted. Igbos need unity and reawakening now more than ever before. Notable forumites re Pazienza,Budhha Monk,Tonychristopher,FKC,Igboson1,CJrane,Bishop42,etc are all igbo centric as much as they also work for the advancement of their various states.Are the so called states not even a tool for destabilization promoted by the hegemonists for sinister purposes especially as it concern Igbos?
Either way,God bless Anambra state+Ndigbo dum!

Nna ikwuru ofuma and obu nna gi mulu GI...that's a good response .Igbo have grown pass clanish dick measuring.. We are here for collaboration of efforts from anioma to anambra to ikwerre and there will always be Judas amongst us and don't forget that

But the most important thing is to ensure that majority and overwhelming majority see the vision of Igbo economic empowerment that will turn us a hub


Nations are forming collaboration not collision so the best response is what you have given


What is your take on my post regarding states specializing on areas of comparative advantage

Handsomegod:
. Nwanne ur suggestions re specialization of states in areas of comparative advantage is the way to go. It is a natural course of progress which has universal validity. Even here in the United States,the various states apply same principle to flourish. Michigan is the automobile planet and they have leveraged on that optimally. California is the movie and showbiz theatre. Florida is a tourist hub anyway and Texas is a sprawling oil state with massive commercial propensity characteristic of border states. Ebonyi may never catch up with Anambra and Abia in industrial and commercial strength but they will be unrivaled if they surge into mechanized farming and food processing. Enugu already has the administrative clout and can pass for another Washinton DC for the Igbo nation with enviable collection of institutions of learning. Imo state can be our silicon valley as proposed by the someone earlier and by all means should house some of our classified security facilities strictly because it is the most centrally situated part of Igboland geographically shielded by other states. The industrial and commercial potentiality of Abia and Anambra is already of global reckon. Anioma has vast expanse of land suitable for both farming and real estate. Yet,like someone already proposed,in addition to specializing,we each state can still have a bit of everything just to create a balance .I support ur view both in theory and practise.

I had a funny experience when I went to Trans nkisi GRA (new Onitsha GRA), after taking lovely pics whn I came out, I wanted to cover the giant gate at Trans nkisi, military men got me, and called me, I went, they asked me who am I and who gave me permission to take picture there, Oboy my mind left me they took my camera went through the pictures, before I could say jack Robinson they accused me of been spy, oboy whn my mind came back I have to play smart I told them I'm a photo journalist, they asked for my ID I showed them and told them I can't spy against my state, I did some explanation, they asked me to delete all the pictures I took with-in that vicinity, I was very bitter, I have to hold myself after that they asked me to go.

Trans-Nkisi GRA has a very tight military security. Next time call up someone you know in that hood if not it could get messy.

Handsomegod:
. If it is brainstorming on Igbo development,u can count on me anyway. There are other geniuses on these thread cc:Budha Monk,CJrane,Vickyjames,Bishop42 and Pazienza,Igboson1,Radoillo and urself,too all of whom you can call to contribute. The quality of ideas already discussed in the Enugu and Anambra threads are enough to launch multiple nations to prosperity.Ndewo!

chino11:
I have said it time and time again that all these speculations and day-time dreaming of classifying each state is a total waste of time and a lazy man's hubby. Go and develop whatever you come from and stop online apportioning of areas of specialization. For instance one cannot parade a mere civil servant's state and hope to sustain itself more especially in this era of economic melt-down in Nigeria and around the world due to oil price crash.

Every state must have a bit of everything if it wants to succeed if not it will be acquired by a more economically powerful state. Malaysia wouldn't be Palm Oil giant today if it said oh Nigeria is already leading in that area or China would not be 2nd largest economy if it relaxed and said that Japan is already 2nd largest. But China worked for it and today they have over-taken Japan economic wise and is racing very fast towards over-taking America.

Let us start building our individual states and stop online silly apportioning. This is why I am very happy for Anambra for giving them Obiano who seeing very far ahead into the future. He has taken up 4 Pillars- Oil/Gas, Industrialization, Tourism, Economic expansion etc. This is where the future lies particularly on industrialization. There room for over-take in everything. If the rest of the SE with the exception of Anambra, hopes to be self-sufficient they most move away from this same mentality some of are exhibiting all over the place. If they hope to meet up with their bills and be able to pay salaries, they must think differently aside just getting Federal allocation which is fast disappearing. I said it, it will get to a time where some of this bankrupt states will not be able to maintain common governors office talk more of paying commissioners. It will get to a time some of this weak and virile states will run their states under "mango" tree because they cannot maintain the building anymore.

Let the rest of think out-side the BOX for once.

Handsomegod:
Bros. You ended up justifying my views. We are saying the same thing except that you did not counter mine with enough details as I enumerated above. Take it easy because I can decode from the tone of your submission that u are already agitated. Take a chill pill.The Malaysia you spoke about leveraged on their palm produce in the late 60's and from there pushed their industrialization vis their current enviable level of advancement. Ditto for China,Scandinavian countries and the Asian tigers. They all leveraged on something they possess comparative advantage on to soar. It is akin to Ibeto who started with motor parts to build up his capital and clout but is today a major player in the Cement industry,hospitality and real estate. At the current state,our states are still at the subsistence level and do not have the capital base to venture into multiple areas hence the need to focus on those areas of core competence/advantage. Nwanne don't turn this discussion to another needless "toutish"polemics. We are one and divergent ideas are welcome. Impossibility only exist in the realm of the mind. God bless!

But China worked for it and today they have over-taken Japan economic wise and is racing very fast towards over-taking America. Today Malaysia is not only ahead of Nigeria in palm oil production but it is the number ONE in that sector. We are operating a federal system like America- The state New York runs it economy independent of Texas, the same applies to California, we are getting there with the oil price crash then each state will stand all by itself, if it cannot stand then it be shared out to more economically powerful states.
