Ironically, those who would fight for one Nigeria are the millions of Ibos in the North that have earned their livelihood in the region for decades and continue to do so as we speak.

While the ignorant iPod yoots continue to fool themselves online, their progressive kinsmen Ade busy investing their millions in the North; from the hoteliers and spare part dealers to the petty hawkers and otapiapia sellers.

MyGeneration:

I will only fight and die against anybody who tries to stop them

coptic:


That, my friend, is the gospel truth. I've lived long enough and interacted with a lot of people in Enugu to know this. I know people who left even places like Kaduna despite it not being a boko haram enclave.

Investments and all are only worth so much when one is alive. Until our brothers in the north realize this, they will continue to drive away potential investors who would have helped develop their land.

Fremancipation:
I saw a news article recently that some northern governor was begging igbos that left the north to come back. The IGR in their various states are shrinking. But some people would rather create the false notion that igbos are flooding the north.

MyGeneration:

Abeg shutup stop giving them hope nd an excuse to go nd be used as sacrificial lambs to allah.
Let yorubas go nd increase northern igr so dat d next time they draw anoda cartoon in denmark we wud help in consoling them.

tysontim:
The fact that nobody have answered this question directly shows that the Igbos are very important, nobody wants the Igbos to go, but the Hausa/fulanis can go

Fremancipation:


It still doesn't negate the fact that a lot of Igbos have left the north. Go to Abidjan, Accra, Togo Cameroon, China, Lagos, Senegal. Igbo investments spans so many nations. Just because a few thousands are in the north and expanding doesn't mean that they need the north for survival. This is a new lie you are telling yourselves to give you a false confidence.

Leave propaganda to the Lagos Ibadan media.

For every one Igbo man investing in the core North, thousands are already gearing users to flee to Enugu, Lagos, or Onitsha. But ignorance won't allow my people to know how much harm they are doing to themselves.

What benefits are there in violence?

QuotaSystem:


A few thousands indeed. Just as many Ibos leaving the North are flocking into it daily, this is verifiable fact. I have cited examples of new enterprises I saw with my own eyes which were never in existence in 2013 when I was there last.

Some of you people need to leave your caves in the East to cure your ignorance. Even if only Sabon Gari market is closed down, the businesses of thousands of your kin would be wrecked and hunger would set in.

This is about facts and not petty ethnic supremacy so you can tone down on that gorilla instinct and allow logic to preside.

Anambra state is 6 times the size of Lagos yet Lagos contains 6 times the population of anambra

most of us igbos in the north are diverting everything except highly necessary investments to the east, the Exodus we witnessed during the last election have shown us that this place is no home but a jungle to make money, personally, I'm gradually relocating to the east, 2019 won't caught me unawares like 2015.

Lies, I only returned from Nigeria yesterday and spent a week in Sokoto and I can authoritatively tell you that Ibo investments in the region are increasing. A particular note is the newest hotel in the town called Hotel Taraka and a roofing sheets manufacturing firm Andy Best all owned by Ibo men in Sokoto. Just ask Chief Eric Umeofia of Erisco if still in doubt.

What you are clearly ignorant of is that the BH insurgency mostly affected the NE and not the NW which remains peaceful and continues to host hundreds of thousands of Ibos that flock into it daily in their commercial buses (Young shall grow, Eze Nwata etc) looking for their daily bread.

Does dat stop d north from seceeding?
U people shud try sth new like seceeding to see hw much u re loved. U wud be surprised at d happiness dat wud engulf not just Nigeria Africa but the whole world.

North secede from what and for why? Lmao.

Only the weak seek secession when powerless to protect and project their interests, which is what your trying to do because you have been reduced to political nothingness.

Is it not your craving for political relevance that is fueling Ndigbo support for Atiku 2019 which exposes and confirms the reason for your secession quest? In other words you are happy to embrace one Nigeria ruled by Atiku (ironically an Abokki) as long as there is an Obi as VP (mere commissioner) to secure your interests and wipe the tears of your current political irrelevance.

As I said, only the weak seek secession therefore it's impossible for the North to seek to leave when it's interests are well championed by its political actors and defended by its military.

you're not igbo therefore you're not in position to judge our decisions, that you saw a few new investments does not mean we're not ready to secede. i have a multimillion naira business in the north yet i only keep essential stocks there now, i have a plot of land in a great location i initially planned to build rental units yet i have suspended it till after 2019 and is now in onitsha planning to build here instead. even if i build in the north after 2019, it might just be a small low cost structure to house my family, something i can easily forgo.many igbos in the north have sold off their landed properties since 2015 to reinvest in the east. many more are planning to retire to the east on or before 2019, the truth is that investments,capital and skilled labour are leaving the north en mass,the tempo would quickly increase by 2019.

Abeg brother please relocate your things. There are so many other African countries to do business and will welcome you with open arms.

Kulas:
Hmmmm,from the responce in this forum,it implies atleast 80 percents of non hausa fulani nigerians want them to go,now the question is why is not even 5 percent of non igbo speaking Nigerians want igbos to go.That's funny,so Igbos are so important like that to both" ndi ofe mmanu and ndi awusa falani" and they can't do without us(igbos).Ndi igbo umu nne m kwenu!,kwezuo nu!!!

rumours:
Will people loose their property and business because of Hausa-Fulani Republic? Legitimate properties and businesses! I do not think so. All over the world, people who are not citizens of those places own businesses and properties. Please argue more intelligently. Let Hausa-Fulani declare their interest in staying on their own first. We can even let them have the name: Nigeria to encourage them.
