Ramnon2:
BTW, I have no problem with Igbos investing outside Igboland as long as it is reciprocal.

Ramnon2:
Another foolish Igboman goes to develop and enrich SOUTH West. Don't even tell me about nearness to raw materials (Economics 101), as there are no tomato farms in Lagos. There are no motor raw material parts in Anambra/ Enugu, yet Innoson is producing from there. So there is no excuse for Umeofia.
These types of Umeofia Igbos - and there are millions of them- are doomed until they start asking why other rich private Nigerians are not investing in Igboland as they (these Igbos) do in other parts of Nigeria.

my broda it's not reciprocal .... No Yoruba man is investing in SE

Ebukaobi:
This is an Igbo man that is thinking and not a useless IPOB youth

Rather than complain, he is looking at the bigger picture. In a few years time, when his tomato business turns into a multi billion empire, IPOB youths will start calling him efulefu

Importation is banned. Get used to it. No matter the noise you make on Twitter and facebook , Bubu won't listen to you

God bless Mazi Odinaka

MrEverest:
The man is a pure efulefu, he is hated even by his own people due to his fuulishness & stup!dity. Respected & dignified Igbos like Innoson, Chikason, Tonimas, Ibeto etc have seen the bigger picture & are investing at home but this selfish & irresponsible man built such industry in D same place they threatened him with lagoon drowning! How many have Dangote, Otedola or other Yorubas built in the East? Imagine if he had built that at Nnewi, Onitsha Or Aba as other sensible Igbos did! Just like Zik, he choose to love his enemies while they plan to kill him! Id!otic man.
