Are you supporting the looting of the onions? How can stealing other people's sweat be justified in the south east agitation?
Igbos are not know to be looters, he who lives in glass house should not throw stones. Ie, we have more to loose in the looting game.

Am not supporting the looting,

If they wish to ban onions from heading to east. They should go ahead asap that's all am saying. grin

For me, they should grant them their Biafra so they can all leave the Southwest region.

Why these people no de use their head or think b4 them talk an,?

Now you stop supply to the east, who lose, onion are perishable, when you cut supply to the east what happens to the quantity you usual send to the east? Send them to west? Abi consume them? . now let say you move them to west, supply becomes greater than demand, prices crashes abi?

The East might start importing them if it's soo needed.

Who lose.

One thing I don't understand about the fucking country is, everyone seems to unanimously hate Igbos. So why live with them. The Igbos themselves they don't want to be with you. Fine the South South is where the oil is so keep them (they don't even want to identify with us in the South East...like they hate us themselves) so what benefit are you gaining from the Igbos. Why not let them go and you can finally be happy with your life. Yorubas hate the Igbos in their Lagos, why not support the Igbos to get their Biafra so they can desaturate your land? Is that not common sense? I just don't understand these people. You hate Igbos but you don't want them to leave. It's like a drug addict. He hates taking drugs but he can't bring himself to quit using.

I actually want to know how you think? What drives you? What makes you want them to be with you? Do you secretly love them so much it makes you guilty, so you pretend to hate them? I know I wouldn't stay next to something that I hate.

The ones they stole the other day should sustain them for a while.

Why do they even need onions?
A trailer load of goats was ransacked at Fagba area of Lagos last year and hoodlums stole the goats(there's a video of it). Has goat/ram/cattle traders stopped shipping their products to southwest? W
When they blocked trailers carrying food to the south at Niger state bordering south, they came to their senses after their goods started wasting away. Agric products are perishables esp onions.
If you follow the forces of demand and supply, you'll know that a zero supply of onions to SE means more supply to other regions which will force the price done. Farmers will lose as SE will import from Cameroon and will be forced to develop better means to feed itself. It is 90% to the advantage of the SE.

Greater part of Northern States are empty vast dry land. Most of these areas are prone to desert encroachment which is one of the reasons Fulani herdsmen are migrating to South that have arable land.

The most deserted place in SE is livable or inhabitable compared to the state you mentioned.

Landmass doesn't translate to productivity.

Lagos and Anambra are the smallest states in Nigeria but you can't compare what comes out from these states with Borno, Yobe, Jigawa or Sokoto that have border with Niger Republic.

Armaggedon:
Op report it well "Onions suppliers end their own means of livelihood over insecurity in SE"

Only in Nigeria does a business man count his market privileged to have him instead of the other way. These fools think upside down and only do well in advertising their stupidity. For goodness sake, you have no choice. You can't sell this to neighbouring countries who have a small market, weak demand, weaker currency and whose products are even cheaper.

Onions is not an essential commodity and even if it were, cheaper products will still come in from the borders. Fools are still struggling to come to terms with the fact that sharing a country with them is the greatest privilege they will enjoy.

Do you mean they should keep supplying even when its clear they might lose their goods to hungry thieving pflatinos?

See why the South should grow their own food and rear their cows? First it was no food supply to the SW, now it's no onions to the SE! These guys used oil money to develop their agricultural sector at the expense of the South, yet they have the nerve to threaten people with deprivation! Really, there's nothing going on for the Northerners without the South!

But no one here is condemning the theft... Surely if that was your business looted, you wouldn't be happy. Let's call a spade a spade, if they started looting Igbo businesses up north, everyone would condemn it.

Onions may not be very important, but the act was wrong. We all saw the video.
