bigpriik:


and you think your lazy tax collecting yorucoward youths will let igbos go out of yerubaland where will they get their revenue from? from cocoa exports.

I'm not criticizing igbo or abusing any tribe. Reae with an open mind before making sectional and tribal indulting responses.
.igbo people like Kano men (Dangote, BUA etc al).

When there are riots, for example, they burn igbo shops and before they return they start doing the same business around the same area. Hence the Ghana example

Remakable how this thread turned into a question of if the South East will succeed.


OP, the question of which area will succeed if Nigeria will break up is not necessary. What matters is that everybody will survive, we all survived when there was no Nigeria

The people will do well are those who have vision, capacity and foresight. No amount of Oil and gas will make people without these qualities to go far.

South east is landlocked, it will fail woefully.

You said Southeast is land locked & I'll fail, so kwara & edo is now south west & with nigeria millions population & land mass can they challenge Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait?, during lockdown shops & trucks with food items where looted in kano & Lagos, one million boys where going from house to house in Lagos but people in South East where eating what they have saved & they also got some donors from rich igbos industrialist & those living in america,europe,asia, so stop talking rubbish.

How come so many people think being landlocked means that a country cannot do well? Ethiopia is doing very well despite being landlocked, Ethiopian Air is the largest aviation power in Africa. Botswana is the largest exporter of meat and livestock in Africa despite being landlocked.

Its all about what is inside you as a people

They are just being myopic thats all, i have said it time wothout numbers any attempt to deny biafra access to river niger or river imo is a call for war it that ever happens lets say if peaceful negotiations fail all we have to do is the invade bori in ogoni land annex it doing this alone we have awe have defeated them already because the country will be divided.

ccffwx:
Why are the Yorubas so focused on SE matter instead of their SW? SE is landlocked, SE will not work in their dreams. They should be more concerned about the other SW states that have nothing to offer while leeching on Lagos. When the country divides, all the ethnicities will leave Lagos for them and Lagos will return to the barren and dry state it was in before the inflow of other ethnicities.

@topic, SE will always find a way to be successful. Always.

you're a certified mumu.. Lagos is 100 years ahead of SE, u people would rather prefer being a slave in lagos to being a king in potopoto

Silly and cretinous IPOBian. They ask everyone to proffer meritorious argument in favor of regions they believe will do well if Nigeria breaks up and this otondo is only bothered about the States that should not be counted with the SW. This Igbo obsession with Yorubas na wa.

Go and give Kwara to the Fulanis na. As if the Yorubas in Kwara won't have a say where they would want to belong.

As for Edos, they will rather remain with the SW. Can you make a sane argument for why they would not? Olodo.

Abeg calm your fears about the Yoruba empire. You can still get visa to visit and return to your erosion-ravaged region after 3 months or face deportation.

One has to be right from the start. It is impossible to "proffer meritorious argument in favor of regions" believed that will do well when the regions are wrongly delimited.

PROUDIGBO:


Don’t mind them! They seem to get some sort of satisfaction and peace of mind at the thought of Ndigbo being hemmed into ‘just your five south-east’ states! I suppose they think this is what will give them a head-start and economic advantage over the Igbo!

Of course it’s all wishful thinking because i suspect they know deep down that Ndigbo will come out of any dissolution of Nigeria on a good footing! They’re praying all ethnicities in the Niger-Delta will remain as one (including all Igbo and Igbo-speaking groups)....form their own country and then deny Ndigbo access to the sea! This is why you normally see them screaming ‘attaché by force’, and why they sometimes pose as ‘we south-south’ and proceed to abuse the hell out of us and paint us as being worse than Hitler!

You know them very well..

ThreeBlackBird:


It's not new that allies turn enemies and countries back out of agreement and slight friction escalates depending on who is in power and his level of diplomacy to issues.

I can assure you that nothing lasts forever, so for all it's worth, their would-be founding fathers must peep into the end from the beginning and prepare for the these things right from the beginning of the secession.

Well, I personally would consider these things if I were anticipating to be a country that is landlocked and would be surrounded by those I have accused of hate.

You'll be surprised that the only thing that bonds SE and SS together today and by extension, the whole south, is the contraption called Nigeria and the feeling of wanting to escape. I would argue that when that is over, a whole lot would change and the battle for survival would begin. If a neighbouring country has to be sacrificed, then so be it.

You written like a true son of his father. Most Nigerians tend to make silly noise without measure of its decibels. If Nigeria disintegrates without proper diplomatic measures, the war of survival will ensure and most people and estates will be expendable.

Rugaria:


The South East is only landlocked if we accept the weird boundary demarcations done by babangida, Obasanjo, gowon, Abacha and co since 1966 in the name of state creations... Without those fake attempts at helming in the Igbos into the hinterlands, there are enough igbo populations in Rivers, in Delta, in kogi, in benue, in Cross River states to help with the needful... Those military rulers who continued the war with the creation of fake borders in the east are not in any position to define nor stipulate igbo boundaries... So when the chips are down, the fake borders will be undone and we can all start from there..

The outcome of disintegration of Nigeria will unleash shock on most Nigerians that will require hospitalization.

candidtalk:


Semantics we can argue all day will gets us nowhere. It is entirely sensible of OP to infer that Kwara and Edo will prefer to be part of the SW than be elsewhere.

Even a lot of Igbos would prefer to remain in or move to the SW rather than return to or remain in the SE. let alone Edos who have good affinity with Yoruba people.

Hypocrisy of Yoruba Muslim Miscreants Miscreants is on another level...

Y'll miscreants accuse Igbos of land grabbing when they add Igbos in delta Edo cross river benue and rivers

bigpriik:


denying a country access to sea will surely lead to war which might result to annexation of land to guaranty access to sea , river Niger flows through igbo territory via anambra and and anioma part of biafra ,that makes it an international water already,a Un recognised country cannt be denied access to sea impossible ! if una try am and we defeat una for war ogoni land will be anexxed forever write this down.

Lol. Forever o.

Ilorin Emirate is quite different from Kwara state.

You expect a halfwit Igbo to understand that?

bigpriik:
oga igboland with the just five states is still not land locked we have very short rivers that will guaranty is access to the atlantic in just a matter of few hours river niger is an international water way and any attempt to deny igbos access to these rivers is a war attempt.

So with your analysis it means the north is not landlocked too, right?

Did you just say "militants ? "

The same militants that I watched on CNN and they don't even have the faintest idea of warfare ? Lol...just like Bini people always brag about their war conquest until Biafran soldiers marched into Bini and everyone tear race..hmm. War is very destructive and I pray south south don't try to frustrate Igbo progress by using waterways to exploit Biafran.

Fact is like Paraguay like south east he have access to sea by 3 Rivers ...ibom , imo n Niger Rivers .....any attempt to deprive igbos access to the ocean via those Rivers is a call for war

Personally I don't think south south hate igbos that much to want to intentionally wicked igbos ...but if they do we would be ready

The waterway belong to South South and we will decide who pass through. War is not fought online, just remember Biafra is in the middle of South South states and what happened during the civil war will repeat itself again.

Look my friend, it is purely an argument of socio-economic wellbeing and potentials. You guys should stop this show of sentiments you put up merely because you are indoctrinated to compete with Yorubas over everything.

Yorubas are not forcing anyone to join us as Igbos do. I am telling you they will willingly want to join us because the socio-economic advantages for doing so are too good to reject.

Forget this internet d1ck comparison thingy you little kids do. SW is not the mate of any other region in Nigeria. If the time comes the Edos would make a purely logical decision based on who/what bests support their socio-economic interest and future expectations.

The Edos will never go with Biafra as they understand the intolerant and discriminatory Igbos enough to know they would be no better than Osus in an Igbo nation. Political and social leadership they would be 100% frozen out of. Nothing at all to attract the Edos to Biafra.

They might contemplate Niger Delta or SS union but it is the SW logical Edos would settle on because they already get on well with the Yorubas and have a long and amiable affiliation with them.

Edos in the SW already know how liberal and tolerant the Yorubas are with every Nigerian empowered and accomodated graciously in Yoruba States. Opportunities abound in the SW for professional and personal development more than anywhere else so go figure.

Read below and everyone should check the analysis for their respective regions. The South West economy is first of all economies in Nigeria at everything. Bear in mind the report below excludes newer development like Dangote refinery, Lekki FTZ, planned Lekki international airport, infrastructural gains across the SW, increasing industrialisation in Ogun, Ondo etc, etc, etc.

South West Economy

South Western Nigeria with a Land Mass of 76,852 square kilometres and population of 25.2 million today owns and/or control 60% of the nation’s industrial capacity, 44% of banking assets, 67% of insurance assets and is house to the nation’s three deep sea ports of Apapa, Tin Can Island and Roro; the busiest international airport of Ikeja, three thermal stations of Egbin, Papalanto and Omotosho. Today, its three major industrial estates of Agbara, Ikeja and Otta are all linked to gas under the West African gas pipeline plan and piping of gas is ongoing from Otta to Abeokuta. Added to these, the South Western population today is the most educated as western education came through there and education as a resource was democratized since the early sixties. Geographical location, democratization of western education, availability of resources enhanced in last 9 years and some empowerment during the Obasanjo administration have collectively enabled the South Western economy to rank as first of the four economies in Nigeria. Today, the South West as a region can boast of having a defined growing middle class and is perceived to have at least 20,000 of its indigenes with net worth of over N100m each. Take it out of Nigeria, the South West economy with is defined growing middle class and resources, will be one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Yankee101 asked simple question, and most people are making tribalistic comments.
in order of prosperity-southern nigeria, northern nigeria, south western, south eastern,south southern , north central, north westerner, north eastern and Nigeria.

southern nigeria-industries,oil and services sector will drive the economy
Nigeria-agriculture and mining will drive the economy
south western - services and industries
south eastern-industries and trading
south southern-oil and trading
north central- steel, agriculture and mining
north westerner-agriculture and trading
north eastern- trading and agriculture
Nigeria- oil

my opinion

joyandfaith:

This is true and I think it is intellectually lazy to write off the chances of the SE because it is a "landlocked" region. In the modern age, that is not really a socio-economic or developmental deal breaker.

The SE may fail to thrive for many reasons which are not my business to analyse or point out but it is analytically pedestrian to suggest an Igbo nation will not succeed because it is landlocked.

We have many examples of landlocked nations making great developmental strides so it is redundant to state, as if a fact, this will be the bane of an Igbo nation.

The most important natural resource u need to develop is ur brain not water or even crude oil, gold or diamond.
