I am going to give my unapologetic, unbiased opinion about this topic of discuss based on my knowledge and observations about human interactions and relationships. I'll be brief.

Let me start with this personal example, experience.

Some years ago when I got registered in the gym I entered and saw what caused me to be afraid, intimidated and doubtful if I can even do it at all. I saw big and muscular guys in the gym lifting big and unimaginable weights, I was demoralized and thought of quitting many times over.
But my mind is stronger than my body and I refused to stop, refused to be intimated and daunted by the negative criticisms. Today every gym I go I am soon called "heavyweights", people sit and watch in amazement when I hit the gym.

1.| The first reason there aren't many South Westerners in the East is cause many are afraid to compete with the Igbos and are already intimidated by the high hustle spirit of these other people. They subconsciously ask, "if these people can come to my town and outdo me do I even stand a chance in theirs?"

Just like me some years ago in the gym, they are afraid of competition and are intimidated by the high hustling spirit. But Unlike me, they never even try.

2.| This second reason is one I tried to talk about some time ago with a video reference from Thomas Sowell from YouTube. Unlike the Igbos and even to a small extent the Hausas, the South West are not into the practice of the MIDDLE-MEN system of wealth building and accumulation. And I dare say there are more Hausas in the South East and South South than there are the South Westerners.

You have to be ready and willing to leave your comfort zone and start new and fresh in an unknown place to succeed in this kind of system. The Igbos and to an extent the Hausas can, not very much the Yorubas.

I talked with a Muslim lady who did her NYSC service in Enugu State. She and family were doubtful of her going to serve there but after it all she said she made a lot of friends and even after she returned they still keep in touch and would have visited them but what would she say to family she's going to do there again?

Maybe all it takes is a little courage to take a leap out and about. But at the end of the day "LANDLORD TRAVEL AND SEE"!

NOTE: I am not Igbo and have never been there, by the way.

sekundosekundo:


Why don't you do same and buy their lands instead of selling yours to them?

Get out of your comfort zone.

It is a dead end man, stop arguing ignorantly. Ask yourself, why the likes of psquare, cubana,etc chose lagos over eastern states, why many of them keep rushing westward. I lived there, moved around all the SE states up to PH for almost a year, the experience is like you are in village everywhere you were including their capitals probably except in PH. Hausas do for herding only

Tinubuwins2023e:
Rubbish talk. SE is a dead state where people can hardly succeed. Who goes to such place

Johnjustice:

Explore a barren, desolate land?

You guys run from South east to southwest to survive, period. Stop talking nonsense.

And you will never hear an Hausa/Fula/Kanuri/Edo/Ijaw/Itsekiri e.t.c call Lagos no man's land. It's always the ibos.

Hausas and a host of others do. But you wouldn't know cause you're cozy and comfortable under mummy' wrapper in Daddy's father's compound. When and if you finally are ready to be a man and f*ck out that village you're in you'll know. Right, Bamidele?

MaliCampus:
let's start from Nairaland here,where you all have been crying that Igbos have taking over your market, You don't know he who controls the market,control the economy. We saw how you all where crying when Peter Obi was visiting markets in Lagos lols

You now result to burning Igbo markets beco of envy.lol We are moving to Ikorodu. We need to Take over that place becos its a village, you guys don't have money to renovate your houses Igbos are coming to take over. Ikorodu needs a new look.

LocalStandard1:


Yes, I hear they like and marry the South East women a lot. More than I can say about myself.

Don't just go there only when it's time to marry, go there also to succeed and find new grounds. Dominate the earth my South Western brothers.

totit:
I used to wonder why every yebboh person often ropes the trading business that only Anambra and a few parts of Aba are known for with all yeebooh.


Why? Imo, enugu, and Ebonyi are not known for that. Everybody should state his papa house abeg.

BossGerald:


But when it comes to lagos, you're all sw yoruba land abi??

Johnjustice:

You people lie too much, just accept, your region is poor, you come to Lagos to escape poverty.

waynetee:


You have no reasonable point, would you rather go from heaven to hell fire? Why would i leave where i could do my work more efficiently and travel to terrorists den!


Common .. Yorubas travel to more advanced places like abroad, while you people come to yorubaland for greener pastures, that is the reality of things if you are lost.

They are way above you interms of reasoning.
SW is the comfort zone for now and the yorubas are the proud owner of it, i do not think any sensible person would term them foolish and weak.

How can we compete with you when we set the standards, the bests are here and what the best ones among you can do is try to catch up, that's why you come here to sell pants and boxers in 2x2 shop yorubas lend you.. Know your place abeg!

.

Every sane man wants a better life and would love to travel to greener pastures and yorubas lead the whole of Africa.

Let me burst your bubble BUSINESS is not just trading
Container and warehouse
That is all Ibos know

Agriculture,, The largest sector in the economy Ibos are irrelevant in agriculture
Education
Insurance
IT
Logistics
Construction
Telecommunications
Banking
Manufacturing
Fintech
Consulting
Legal
Forestry/logging
Oil and Gas
Healthcare
Transport

All you know is container and warehouse
That is a tiny part of BUSINESS

u dey mind dem (because we are not boastful lyk dem na wetin dey give dem mind )

do dey even know how much southwest cocoa a nd cashew industry worth

despite lot of our businessmen reside and do business in Lagos (a Yoruba state)
if you remove Lagos from southwest the remaining states economy put togeda is still bigger than that of southeast

chiefoga:


You want to start on nairaland owned by a yoruba man. Una mumu plenty no be small

If lgbos stop commenting on nairaland, that is the end of nairaland. Same with if millions of lgbos leave sw, that the end of sw

Wat a joke. If millions of lgbos resident in the sw should leave, lagos in particular will be on same level as most states. Don't kid urself. As for the remaining sw states being better than se, that is a even bigger joke. People in those states are fleeing to lagos to survive. Which jobs exist in ekiti, osun, ondo, oyo apart from govt jobs
