I wonder how igbos have the liver to boast of their exploits when the state and development in the geographical location of the east doesn't correspond to the exploits bieng made. When you make money so much or perform exploits so much that even those in your quarters in the village can attest to significant benefits of your personal developments in life, of what use is it? Why then do you pride yourself in your achievements, when its all just paperwork to your people? |

[quote author=ferdvict2 post=47579166][/quote] I have not but living evidence and you can get it by taking a vacation to the east and see for yourself if the development is directly proportional to the exploits |
