APC really loves 20biliion. Check this:
$20B NNPC fund missing-Sanusi Lamido
Stella Oduah stole Ñ20B
Diezani Madueke unremitted funds now $20B
Nigeria Minting Cooperation N20B missing.



Could it be that some people have something with 20billion that we don't know,?

Just asking.

According to the estimates, remittances from the UK, including unrecorded transfers through formal and informal channels, could be worth up to $23bn – including $3.9bn to India, $3.8bn to Nigeria, and more than $1.2bn to Poland. This would make the UK the third-largest source of remittances, after the US and Canada.

Almost a quarter of it comes from the UK alone.
That is before Ireland ,Germany ,nederlands, Australia,Italy ,America and Canada

zuchyblink:
60 percent if not 75 percent

scholes0:


Why don't you say 100%? lol
Majority of those remittances are from countries like USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Etc
And unless you think Ibo are 60 or 75% of Nigerians in those places, you better provide figures that mirror reality ....

zuchyblink:
apart from the UK,there is no other place non-Igbo ethnic groups can compete with the Igbos in terms of concentration

igbo American are recognized ethnic group in America.
Do u know IPOB alone has Igbo members from Over 88 countries in the world.
Any where u don't see Igbos,that place is not habitable.No ethnic group can beat Igbos in traveling

No, I thought you said 60 or 75% of the remittances were Ibo.....
Not forgetting that there are also Yoruba, Edo, Ibibio, Ijaw,, Etc Nigerians also abroad. Maybe they, just decide not to send any money to their peeps in nigeria, and would rather have it all to themselves....
Why are you now saying something else?

That of the UK is obvious, Yorubas probably more than double Igbos there.
As for some other countries like Canada, USA, Ireland, Australia Etc.... no one is sure of what the situation is like. I have lived a significant portion of time in Canada and US for example. Yoruba seem to outnumber Igbo in Canada, wile it looks 50-50 In USA.
so unless you can profide official figures, I would suggest stop pulling statements out of your arse

As if the wikipedia page is supposed to mean anything...lmao
There is also a Yoruba american page, Fula American, Afrikaners in America, Berber American Etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_American

Igbos travel to many places, although their populations in most of them are insignificant
But official remittance of 20Billion in 2014 is what we are talking here.

knowledgeable:



I am more than convinced that Igbos represent 60% or a little more. My reasons are (1), Hausa/Fulani represent zero almost. (2), Those remittances are recycled into real estate and property ownership, importation and etc of which Igbos represent 60-70%. The remaining % should go to yorubas and other southern groups. Middle belt and core North .... insignificant. This reality came as a result of decades of marginalisation of Igbos, which forced on them both domestic and international migration. As the marginalization continues, a northerner as president whose region remit zero, but contribute immensely, death, poverty, bokoharam, backwardness will now preside over this important sources of foreign exchange and oil and gas from the same region whom were marginalized out of the country and are now remitting back these billions. What a world?.
