EternalTruths:
With fervent daily prayer and deep thoughts of how to succeed, Igbos will excel.

Igbos remember you guys are

1) God's blessing to Africa

2) Special breed of Africans

3) The Joseph of Africa


Through the help of Yahweh Jesus and HolySpirit, victory is certain.


Remember that this year, Igbos will complain less and pray/think their way out.


As for the cattleman of Daura, oil price will fall to $10 this year.

The oil wealth of the 5% will never be of help to his government.

Many people have been saying that Buhari means well with his economic policies including my humble self, however, haven discussed with many people and studying who are affected the most, I am convinced to say that whilst Buhari's economic policies affect all Nigerians, the group it affects the most in a disportionate manner are the Igbos. When you examine most of these policies you would think that Igbos are specifically being targeted on all fronts. Let us examine the facts one after the other.

1. According to Vanguard news today, it was stated that Buhari's government have moved Lagos clearing house for imports to Kano. We all know that almost half of Lagos are occupied by Igbos. Igbo business men around the country have their networks in Lagos, and all they have known for many years is clearing their goods in Lagos. Moving it to Kano only adds to their cost without a concomitant value. Does it affect all business men, including hausas? Yes of course, but we all know that at least 70% of imports in Nigeria are carried out by Igbo business men all over Nigeria. This is NOT a good policy in my opinion it creates bad blood for the average Igbo business man, and make life even tougher for them.

2. The dollar policy has also disproportionately affected Igbos. Most Igbos have had to close business, because they cannot even find the dollar to pay for their imported goods. Worse still businessess that have millions of USD turn over, are prevented by the banks to collect their money, with the bank claiming they do not have dollar. This essentially grinds businesses and further makes the economy slip into oblivion. Does this policy affect other non-Igbo importers? Ofcourse yes, but given that Igbos are the engine of all of our imports in Nigeria, we can safely say that they are disproportionately affected.

3. Two days ago the APC government of Ambode, who in my opinion has been a confused governor, unable to just keep up with what Fashola has done, ordered that Oshodi market be destroyed. This is one of the largest market places in Nigeria and West Africa. Is it a bad policy to destroy Oshodi market for developmental reasons? Absolutely not, depending on its intent. However, what is bad policy, is when you do not give any notice, no alternatives, and then destroy peoples business that took many years to build, throwing thousands off their employment, and making many more people jobless. This is barbaric to say the least. Which group of people dominate Oshodi market? Igbos ofcourse. By many accounts, Igbos make up 85 - 90% of the traders in Oshodi. Was it a way of telling the Igbos that they are not needed in Lagos? Who inspired Ambode to take such actions?


I won't go further than this, but one thing is clear, PMB would have to thread carefully, or else what he thinks he is trying to make better, would only make the country worse. We do not need another civil war, policies like this only make Nigeria more polarized and ungovernable.

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Buhari's policies is aimed at destroying entrepreneurs in Nigeria cos it's hard to run any business in Nigeria without needing anything from outside the country.

If he's trying to punish Igbos for not voting for him, he should be aware that he's indirectly punishing the masses cos guess what? If I have to go through so much to run my business, the Yoruba Igbo and Hausa civil servants should get ready to spend their minimum wage on one underwear.

Let his robots keep hailing him, let's see who loses last last

@ Topic

No decent Nigerian cares if any set of people are disproportionately affected.

1. The customs must be sanitized, Nigeria loses billions of dollars because of the corruption in the body. Importation of goods should not be the mainstay of the economy. Those brilliant igbos should start manufacturing the products they are currently importing

2. Ambode ordered the destruction of the shop at Oshodi and that is the right decision. The market is an eyesore and is used by hoodlums and criminals to victimise Lagosians. Besides, the LASG gave the traders enough notice to vacate the market.

The OP is just playing the devils advocate and he impresses no one.

when we say gen buari is unfit to rule a modern country like nigeria, pipul tink we ar just hating on him. dat we hate him for no reason. now everybody can see d consequencies of his terrible economic policies. general buari's hatred for Igbos is deep in his blood. can anybody explain why shehu shagari was kept under house arrest in a presidential palace n alex ekwueme was thrown into prison in 1984 Does this not shows hatred for Igbos.
see how he is systematically targeting Igbo businesses all over d country to slow dem down so dat his northern pipul like dangote will maintain monopoly. look at capital oil, ibeto cement, innoson n many odas all targets of buari's despotic policies. a nepostic, tribalist, bigotric n a religious fanatic who is bend on destroying South East.
But no matter how he n his northern brothers try to destroy SE business, they will never succced. we will keep rising higher n higher. noting can stop us from progressing, not even d devil himself can keep SE down.

You are not on my level. I have seen your pictures. Please move along

cramjones:


Talking down the points I have raised without raising any counter factual points, just makes you look stupiid. I have been in the APC. I have sat with Buhari a number of times, I am an ardent supporter of Buhari, but when someone is toeing a wrong line, you must call it out. I am not even Igbo, so please don't sound like an idiot.

Take your bare faced lies and shove it where the sun dont shine.

Do you think you are conversing with the illiterates that have fallen for your self absorbed and low self esteem induced threads.

You are inconsequential, an attention seeker and 90% of the time, you make no sense.

It's obvious Nigeria has never been fair and just to the Igbos but definitely,one day ndi Igbo shall prevail.

Bigprozzie:


First of all, can you provide proof that he is actually relocating the Clearing Agency' to Kano?

Even if true, how the Buhari Govt intends to sanitize the customs is totally up to the government. We can only judge them on performance.

For diversification to occur, we have to produce more, the first step is to discourage unnecessary importation. We should all be ashamed that Nigeria imports toothpick, pencil and towels.

While some of you Igbos are shouting online and calling Buhari names, smart Igbos have already got the message and are building capacity to start production of goods that they would normally import.

In 2 years time, when they start reaping the rewards of their foresight, it is the same IPOb youths that will start kidnapping them.

Alwaystruth:
The way Nigerians reason baffles me a lot. I have said it before in this forum that the problem
of Nigeria is nothing but wickedness. The simple general laws of nature favors no one particular tribe ,race,color,
region or religion but have equal applications on them all. Nigerians are facing hardship and unprecedented unemployment yet
all policies of government all levels lead to more unemployment to the people.

Now, somebody just demolished that Oshodi market in the name of development and as well witch-hunting a particular
tribe without knowing that those shops demolished provided employment and means of livelihood to thousands of people from different ethnicity. Certainly many families will be affected in this singular action and more people pour into the unemployment market. More criminals will also be created leading to more insecurity of lives and properties .Yet this is a country struggling with security issues. If any bad policy is targeted at the Igbos,well..as someone rightly said, the worst they can do is their 20 pounds civil war mentality.

ChristStriker:
Can someone please explain why clearing has been moved to kano if this is true? How does kano connect to the sea?
