Anyhow Sha today how far ? ...Igbo man is the chairman of uac ....most of the rest done fold ...houses sold to igbos. ...next 50 years go funny Sha

All ibos got their properties back on Yoruba land that I know.

On jobs some were absorbed back too but can you have a business and you wait for someone that voluntarily leave to fight a war to comeback?

I will have to research more on this 1972 decree but please do your research well, most of what you saying are not right.

Portacourt didn't give anything back till today to the ibos we all know so stop spreading false narrative.

What is wrong with these type of Nigerians giving other Nigerians bad names, even your own hard working conscious people? Is there any country that got Independence that never instituted Indigenization?

If you want to find out the beginning of decay, you can still see it today. Anything Foreign.

It started with foreign used clothes, shoes, food and even importation of Garbage in the name of liberation of the market. When Nigeria realized its folly and slammed brake on imports, guess who cried that they were targeted?

Now Buhari who sent people to jail when he came to power is also "enjoying" Liberalized Market.

Thanks a bunch for taking out time to educate a lot of the indomie generation about this... This is why I I get upset when some clever people try to lump everybody together as being responsible for nigerias messy situation. No. A particular group of people are. Since 1966, the Yorubas and their comrades the Hausa fulani have been responsible for driving the course of governance in this country.., only recruiting willing political mercenary from other groups while doing away with anyone with contrary views..

It was the worst heist to be pulled off in history. Unfortunately, it is the present 200 million frustrated Nigerians that are currently paying the price.

Ask them why Nigerians excel when they go abroad only to fail woefully at home.

Ask them why everything, I mean every single area of our economy was rundown ruthlessly and nothing, absolutely nothing is working!

Ask them why we have ended up as the world's poverty capital despite the enormous resources at our disposal!

Simple, all these chaos were a direct result of the criminal Indignization decree of 1972. That was the point the foundation of Nigeria's economy was destroyed and everything nosedived!!

If the head of government is the initiator of all the government policies in his regime,then there is no need for ministers and other appointments.

Awolowo as the finance minister initiated the indiginisation decree. And just like how government works, the head is the one his signature will appear.

These guys stamped their wasteful culture on the economy of this nation and it is yet to recover. Stolen things are difficult to manage because you did not sweat for it.

The bold part is normal karmic law.

Anybody with an average IQ will know that the evil Indignization decree was fishy.

Look at these facts:

Britain helped Nigeria to fight a crucial war.

Nigeria at that point was not in any position to successfully take over and run those companies efficiently.

The war just ended two years earlier and there were several issues that needed to be tackled then.

Yet, despite all these, they hurriedly pushed for a devious Indigenous Decree within a very short time.

As at the 90s, managers of such sate corporations as NITEL, NEPA and all the banks in the east and most floor workers were all Yorubas.. The northerners were lacking behind in terms of producing graduates while the east were effectively blokced from participating in running the economy of their Land. Things only changed when babangida moved the capital to Abuja after orkars coup. Most Yoruba workers preferred to stay back in Lagos providing the northerners an enviable opportunity to flood officialdom with their kind. Their war with Abacha helped to accelerate this process. Obasanjo came in and tried to reverse that with spurious privitasation and consolidation policies that favoured them again. Thats how African petroleum, NICON insurance and co transmuted into Yoruba companies.... Inshort both the Yorubas and fulanis are not in anyway interested in biulding any country.. They are simply in a rush to loot as much as possible before their iniqiuteous activities break up Nigeria..

The oil majors then , especially shell provided the funds for that war totally. You must have read some of them here gloating that awolowo prosecuted the war in biafra without borrowing a dime as if he was an oracle. The fact is that Shell and co financed the war after a confused Borro helped adekunle to take over Bonny oil facilities. Even the embargo against biafra was done with British facilities. Tht was how they were able to be shooting down red Cross planes. Up till today Nigeria is till paying Britain/foreign oil companies for sponsoring that war. Noticed buhari heading to London after every election nomination? . Tht is how Nigeria became the only major oil exporting country that depends almost entirely on foreign majors for oil exploration.

Even as we speak, there are no meters in major offshore oil facilities. The oil majors suck as much as they want , then will inform Nigeria how much they exported! This has been the case since eons! Even the justice Irekefe panel that probed buhari/Obasanjo in the early 80 about the missing NNPC billions and gave them a soft landing, lamented about this. Yet, nothing was done because to an average politician from the north and west of Nigeria, there is a well grounded understanding that without those oil majors, they would have never had the resources to finance that war.

You people should try and reason your argument before presenting it..

Some of you talk like children sometimes.
Why is it so difficult for you understand something that is so clear?

The initial standoff leading to the war was between the East and North. Mind you that at same period Awolowo did not believe in Nigeria, he actually believed and wanted Oduduwa republic.

Now the question is, what made him to discard the idea of Oduduwa and accept Nigeria?

The North was already Igbophobic and through Ahmadu Bello we're wary of the more enterprising Igbos they feared would dominate them.

The idea was that policies that will ensure Igbos never rise again to be in the position to dominate them would be supported.

Now, with such general mindset, do you think the North will object to Awolowo's idea of Indignization policy? Considering it would achieve two things i.e. perpetually keeping Igbos down and out while giving Awolowo and his people their own share of the spoils of war, since the North has achieved their aim and taken their own share?
