Igbos are doing better than "noone" my friend..

Even without war or insurgency, the SE still ranks low in terms of development and sustainability.

The unemployment rate ranks highest in the SE
The security is nothing to write home about.
Talking about infrastructures, it's zero


Wake up boy! There is nothing special about South East or her inhabitants

whirlwind7:


The statement in bold is as false and as empty as you are.
The undisputable fact is, there was a war in the SE. A war that raged on for 3 years and took the life and potential resources of nearly 3 million souls. Other than Lagos, put SE states side by side with SW states and tell us how the SW is miles ahead.

How then could you say "even if there was no war..."
Did you manufacture a parallel universe in which you can compare a SE not destroyed by war?
I mean, how can you make such an harebrained and senseless comment, and think it a smart argument?

Next thing, you would argue that the civil war never took place.
Just as the poster said, you lots will ignore Yoruba threads and masturbate on Igbo ones until you ejaculatë blood.

Zik was a Pan-Africanist just like Kwame Nkruma. He adopted his Pan Africanist ideas when he studied in America. But his ideals were in conflict with the typical African tribal mentality.

He saw the poor treatment of Black people in America and wanted a black nation that would unite and challenge western racism and colonialism. Unfortunately he underestimated the backwardness of typical Nigerians.

He was indeed very NAIVE.

Perfectly analysed....and for some reasons, they believe that their alliance with the northern genocidists/jihadists will permanently suppress those special attributes of Igbos from our creator. Well, is self evidence now, that the only outcome from the alliance is more genocide, more jihad, more of less federal character in critical appointments, more poverty, more lies, more corruption and etc.

Really?, is this why he prefair to be the premier of South West, instead of South East?.
A man who RESISTED and attempt to include a secession clause in the constitution of the country, wants to be a premier of a region that belongs another tribe.
If this is NOT an attempted subjugation of the other tribe, what could it possibly be?.
God bless Obafemi Awolowo and his people for throwing Zik out SW, expansionist forming pan Africanist.

Victim card again!
You people refuse to be responsible for the reciprocal effects of your opinionated perception of other tribes around you. Feeling full of yourselves.

One question to put you guys on a reality check, do you people ever show love to other tribes now? Did you have any love for other tribes even before the Biafra war?
Igbos demean other tribes and people that's why you igbos reciprocally get demeaned by the other tribes.

From the north to the west to the south south even within the east. the igbos are unanimously and unitedly perceived/ seen as dubious, greedy and rancoursly disrespectful of law and culture.

As far as the Biafra country goes!igbos,believe it or not if it were left for the Nigerian peoples without politics we would gladly let you go but here's the snag ,you are bound by our perception of you igbos to be dubious and greedy as you would lay claims wantonly to valuable Nigerian assets.

The snag above is the sole reason,
Biafra can be attained when you people reverse upon yourselves and sacrificially determine to develop your hub!
Otherwise it's rather foolish to want to go back to a bush.

Igbos you get what you give!

Clinton9000:
A Nairalander few months ago perfectly described the relationship between Igbos and Nigeria. He said Igbos is that smart, blessed kid in secondary school that everybody wants to be associated with, copy from and be in a group or team with. The smart kid Igbo doesn't want to copy from anyone because he is confident in his abilities. If he wants to change class because he doesn't like how he is being treated or the condition of the class, the rest of the class will gang up to stop him. Ok, the Igbo kid says...take my books, take my answers, just let me go with nothing, they said no...lol.What is even interesting in that class is if anything not about Igbo is being discussed, nobody is interested. But as as that thing involves Igbo, everybody will pay serious attention and join. You notice how Igbo thread drives Nairaland?

If you want to test my hypothesis, open two threads, same topic, one about Yoruba and the other about Igbo. I promise you, within 10 mins, the Igbo thread will be 3 pages while Yoruba will still be on page zero. Even Yorubas will not touch their own thread, but will instead rush enter Igbo thread like a rat being bated....most of them are not doing this consciously, it's like a spirit pushing them in the direction of the chosen children of God.

knowledgeable:



Idiotic slave, that's the point his making. You are reciprocating hatefully to "Igbos are full of themselves", but zero reciprocal to wanton killings and destruction of lives by your allies because, they are not Igbos. Do you now see the logic?.

The fact is that Igbos faced a brutal war for 3 years with the destruction of lives and property including looting of hard earned wealth.

Yet, they were able to rebuild their cities with no help. This means that every other Nigerian cities that didn't experience war should be miles ahead. Right?

But the reality of the situation says otherwise...I can understand where some of their frustration and hate is coming from..

horsepower101:
Today I saw a thread where the federal government is openly offering amnesty to one of the most deadly terrorist organizations in the world; Boko Haram. An organization that has plundered and wasted so many lives in the past 10 years.

I carefully observed that thread and noticed the lack of interest most Nigerians showed.

Now compare it to IPOB, a legal organization recognized in the UN and has branches in different countries. Initially declared legal by he Nigerian court system before buhari compromised it.
They carry no arms and hold peaceful protest while declaring their right to self determination recognized by the UN and AU.

Just pause and take a moment to Remember the traffic and hate armless IPOB drew to every thread and the evil Nigerians were wishing upon them.


Now compare it to their reactions with boko haram.


Why are Nigerians like this? Why are you people so unbelievably hypocritical with everything you do? Why?

Chinua Achebe in his book there was a country stated that Nigeria can come to a consensus on just one topic, and that is their hatred of the igbo man

Alariiwo:


I'm only stating the obvious.

The young man was feeling himself already so I had to enlighten him.. Igbos should act now before it's too late.

BTW you're one bright lady here I've observed. It's a pity others from your side can't observe decorum. They can't stay a single day without chestbeating

freeze001:


Why are you overly concerned about the so-called chest beating? Do the Igbos brag with ur property or achievement? Do u not have d mouth and means to brag? If u don't like or know how to why hate others who do? Between the acclaimed chest beating and BH terrorism which is the crux of the op, which is worse really? Have Igbos raided anywhere they live in outside Igboland to forcefully steal and take from natives? What is it really?

God has already told you how he feels. So instead of pretending not to understand why people can’t stand you guys, you have two options: reduce your bragging and “overweening pride” (according to Chinua Achebe) or live with the consequences: being disliked by both God and man.

And once again u prove the op right...

honeychild:


I didn’t deny that most Nigerians dislike Igbos. i am telling you the reason why. You cant keep crying “they hate us” when it is your attitude that breeds the dislike. Even God has told you he can’t stand your attitude.

freeze001:


The op was striking a balance between hating Igbos for no just cause and gladly condoning boko haram terrorists. Between both scenarios it is clear that u didn't see that God hates the hands that sheds blood so since u have arrogated unto ur selves the power to judge, u pick n choose and ur hatred and judgement is vested on the ones who express their satisfaction in their achievements. The one who sheds blood for sport is absolutely inconsequential as far as ur tunnel-vision hatred for Igbos is concerned.

The God I serve is a just God n Judge, dunno about yours.

horsepower101:
Chinua Achebe is the first proof I got that once you tell Nigerians the bitter truth, they become your enemy.

I can never forget the curses Nigerians were laying on that man simply because he spoke the blunt truth without adding sugar to it.

I even had to buy the book just to find out what was driving Nigerians crazy...

But now I am much older and less naïve, I finally understand the reality of the Nigerian environment.

I was not talking to the OP. I was responding to you. You made a post justifying the pride and bragging and asking someone to also brag if he wants. Well as long as you insist on keeping your national sport of bragging and arrogance don’t pretend not to know why you are disliked.

As for the Boko Haram shedding innocent blood, I am sure you can’t find any post where I justify them. I am surely allowed to dislike more than one thing at once. I dislike the violence of extremist Muslim jihadist. I also dislike the arrogance of proud Igbos.

The hate for Igbo is because an Igbo man is naturally ahead of u.

Yet, not one Nigerian of pure eastern ancestry is on the Forbes list.

What is your defination of "ahead of you". I have eastern relations pure and mixed; I know what poverty in the east looks and unfortunately feels like.

The eastern part of Nigeria is the worst part of Nigeria to live on less than a dollar a day.

The entire wealth generated by most eastern businessmen comes from the ports (import). The current disapproval from the eastern elites towards the current government is largely associated with the new policies in the ports.

The large rise in IGR from the customs and sister agencies came out of the improvement in revenue collections, the bans of tooth picks, rice and others affected more eastern business than others.

I have said it in the past, eastern businesses cannot compete with the current changes in the Nigerian economy, they are already making less money, than their counterparts in the north; south-south and south-west.

I can write a whole academic paper on the demise of the eastern commercial hegemony. Coscharis recently accessed a 10billion naira loan from the FGN and our pride Innoson loan from GTB was about 3BN; compared to Rabiu BUA or Aliko Dangote accessing loans running to hundreds and billions of dollars. BUA $400+ M, Dangote $10+ B.

I mean you cannot tell anyone than Osha (Onitsha) has far more millionaires than Kano city; you can claim it but the IGR tells us a different story; generally.

Half your productive workforce is either in Lagos or offshore. You have a big problem in the east, and your solution lies in real and not suppose commercial and industrial output on Nigerian soil.

What will become of eastern business as more products are banned?
