This is a thread for people thinking that the east is unhabitable,religious intolerant and rough,this is a clue of how to survive here in the east without getting hurt or looking for your head (beh**ded).
The east is a place to do buisness,especially when it comes to trade,the east has the highest purchasing power in nigeria or even africa,what ever you sell you will make it,ask some northerners,they behave themselves.
They are arranged from the most important to the least important.
1-NEVER YOU SPEAK AGAINST NNAMDI KANU OR ANYTHING AGAINST BIAFRA:if you are not an igboman or rather a niger delta man and you are debating on biafra,better pause or else you will look for your head. In the east now even if you are igbo and speak against biafra,prepare to recieve the beating of you life called DELIVERANCE,as you will be termed sabo(saboteur).
As non easterners,you dare not chaa chaa,dont even air your view(if against).
2-DO NOT PRACTICE,DEFEND OR PREACH ISLAM IN THE EAST-if you check 85% of mosques in the east they are located in the barracks,if you practice it in public,people will not buy from you,you will be avoided like a plague and your market wont sell,if you defend islam here,omo you be boko(boko haramist) or a terrorist,dont even let people know you are a muslim,whenever islam is insulted,just shut up and pass or you will wonder how you died sef,if you preach it,your chapter don close.
3-YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO DO IGBO HUSTLE OR HUNGER GO HAMMER YOU: are you lazy?, are you dull?,better dont come to the east except you have a supermarket,but if not,i dont think you will even have a customer,talkmore of selling a thing,ask hausas naa,learn how to call sweet and lovely names,if its a guy some call them daddy,bros or oga,if na ladies,some them call omaricha nwa(beautiful baby),nwa(baby) baby,etc or you wont attract them,and as you are calling tell him or her that you have what he or she is looking for,even if you dnt know what they came to market to do.
4-LEARN TO ADD MONEY IN YOUR GOODS,IN NECCESSARY AND UNNECCESSARY TIMES:fuel scarsity,fuel subsidy,kerosene subsidy,naira fall,dollar rise, etc both reasonable and unreasonable times,you must add money unless you will forebear unimagineable loss and on top of it you may not get to wealth fast
5-BE CLEVER,BE SMART AND SHARP: if you are a new commer,this are the first things you must do immediately coming down from the cab,taxi,bus from the park or airport
a-hold your phones in your hand,whether nokia torch or touch screen,no one is safe
b-no bags just purse and you must hold it in your armpit,or grip it in your hand
c-do not wave or flirt with you phone in public places or you will ask yourelf,"i thought i was holding my handset now"especially for the ladies.
D-for girls,do not do too much shakara for igbo boys,or you will regret it,if you find an igbo boy as your bf,my sister you will never lack in your life
e-for boys,if you cant toast go and sleep,if you have a car you dnt have probs as long as money comes out of your pocket,except you won the heart of the girl then you dnt have problem
f-you must have the inner mind and outter mind to recognise fake,substandard,china(fake,no offense to china though)goods or you will die before your time

Eastern Nigeria is Nigeria and every Nigerian is free to practise islam and christianity in Nigeria,one thing that puzzle me most is this,a christian do not love a muslim and muslims dont love christians,if religion is a sentiment that has destroy moral and peace including the love we have for people as our friends,relations,brother,children,mothers and fathers,why not abolish religion and live by moral which circles around human behaviour towards others?. Morality is in our heart,in our behaviour and its morality that can restore the peace religion has destroyed among me.

This is basically 'How To Survive In Nigeria'. But you then added 'East' because everything that has to do with Igbos attracts viewers/a swarm of haters and always hits frontpage. OP, i like your strategy.

Op, You lied. Here in East, you can debate Biafra. Nobody will beat you so far as insult is not part of your point especially when you are opposing and also depending on who you are debating and where you carrying out the debate.
Also, Muslim can practice their religion freely. There are a lot of mosques in East that are not in barrack. A lot of markets in east are not as you described it.

Be friendly to Igbos if you want to succeed there, if you try to fight them in their land you will become a history. Avoid women there as a beginner because they will help you go empty handed.

it depends the part of the east you are,if you go to the cool headed areas of enugu,owerri(particially),ebonyi,nsukka, some ss parts, ehee then you can possibly debate,but no insultings,but if you mean the hot headed areas like,onitsha,asaba,aba,oyibo,abia,anambra etc you must look for your head if you are not an indigene,but if you are,get ready for deliverance

Nd brother, mosques are not always located in barracks, it is few in the city because dey don't have much members except in those barracks.... Proudly 042

Not the the whole of nigeria but the east,who give a damn about nnmadi kanu in the west,come to the west they are religion tolerant etc.

read ur post again in do some research, then tell me who is more tolerant

Let's be honest with ourselves, the only people in the world who goes to Igboland are IBOs. Nobody else does. Go to all bus stations across Nigeria and see for yourself.

More professional than the urchins littering in other parts of the Country? Born and raised in Lagos, resided in the East as an adult and do have a balanced view.

Ewu Ibadan, always making silly statements, seriously your IQ is very low.
Do you know how many yorubas women in east selling Agbo, their men selling traditional medicine, doing bricklayer, Okada, taxi, keke even estate agent etc? ode!

Not all barracks are located in the barracks. Infact, 95percent of barracks are located outside the barracks. get your facts right and stop talking nonsense.

This OP is a joke! Why make it seem like the east frowns at Islam altogether?

The people here don't care what religion you practice, just be peaceful, that's all that they ask.

Again, Nnamdi Kanu may be agitating for a cause some of them believe in, but he doesn't in any way assume the god-like status you're painting in their hearts and in their minds.

The people don't really care, just so long as they are treated fairly.

You must have been associating with touts!

The rest of your points have some truth there inbetween though.

Don't mind that dickhead OP, here in onitsha, i debate about Biafra boldly and it all ends in banters.
Muslims and mosques are everywhere so what the hell is he talking about?

As an aba boy I can confidently say your point is false! There is NO barrack in aba and yet there is a big mosque in the centre of the city.it is situated in st.Michael's road they(Muslims) do their businesses around that axis..every aba guy knows this..
Again,in owerri there is an area called "ama awusa" meaning a place for the hausas/Muslims..it is situated in Douglas road, a very buzzing and bubbling area in owerri..heck we even have a road in aba called mosque road!

The Igbo man has NO TIME trying to know what religion you practice, he is more concerned about his freedom and his money!
