Nawa ooo.See afonja mentality..
Laziest Igbo man in Abia state is far better than average afonja.
If you re reasonable, you would have asked yourself how many Igbos depend on government for survival ?
How many Igbos are into civil service ?. Anambra alone increased the salary of few civil servants in their states while other states are crying during the recession...

With this your comment, it shows that you don't know the meaning of "Employment" and "Unemployment"
It's not all about waiting for 50 thousand monthly salary ok ?
You deserve my pity!
