China moved from plastic toys and cutleries production to massive industrialisation

They can never compete with SE and that’s why most of them celebrate poverty and call it politics

The reason why you guys are always so hateful is because you see everything (especially against the Yorubas) as competition and you feel extremely bitter whenever you are defeated as always.

is really sickening and tiring educating lads in this space but I will indulge u this once.
1If, its because of the oil boom, why is Nigeria's economy with all the oil booms in different periods especially the 70s still at comatose with Nigeria begging like alamajiri around the world since the end of regional governance
The premier then was M I Okpara and the regional government had semi autonomy to run its economy free from federal intervention if u know what that means.
Any other thing u need to know about the eastern economy of 50s and 60s, read that up because it is in the recent history books and everywhere

the last time I checked the economy of Nigeria grew by 3.2% which is a great feet achievement. nigeria is largest economy of Africa by GDP in tone of $508b.
The economy of Eastern Nigeria was boosted by discovery of oil and the exportation of the oil. if you disagree you can show us the revenue from 1959 to 1964 .

Airlord2030:
Because of SS oil ..
Immediately SS was cut out from parasitic SE, SE yansh open

The SE Leaders were Still greedily eyeballing Lagos even back then

The next thing we knew they had ganged up to Jail Awolowo

Policy of marginalization since the war ended. I read about one of such policies where a senior military officer from the north ordered that the only main frame computer located in the east be relocated to kaduna, such arrant nonsense took place after the Civil war.

In another instance, Nigeria planned a steel plant with steel rolling mills in the 70s , steel plant was built in ajaokuta, steel rolling mills in katsina,Jos, oshogbo and aladja in warri, non was deemed fut for the eastern part of the country. Today all the steel mills and complexes are dead and forgotten.

Such were the one Nigeria government policies that turned the Giant of Africa to the smallest dwarf in the world.

As I write this, the central bank of Nigeria is giving out foreign exchange to be to import palm oil into a palm oil producing country, in some instance people got import rebates and import quota

this is what the Igbo political elite has been using to keep toes on our Igbo with the word marginalization because they knew the people are emotional, myopic. Nobody stopped Igbo governors from establishing 2nd , 3rd , 4th etc Ada palm like the one in imo state. the last time I checked state are still in control of our land not the federal government. so, if we fail to develop what we are in control of , should we start to blame the person who is not in control.
South West bitumen company was a company established by south western Governor for exploitation of bitumen what stopped us the South Eastern governors from utilizing our gas , coal etc. human resources . there's nothing like marginalization of Igbo but Igbo elites fleecing in our common wealth.

banku:
How can someone just wake up from slumber and claim East was the fastest growing in the world

You got it from your dream or what? Ask those older than you, they ran out of the East to go into Cocoa farms as laborers.

Many ran out to get free Education in the West.

Most of the Industrial Estates were in the West anyway. The only University was in the West.

Up till today Easterners are still trooping out in thousands daily to the West overrunning every social and economic facilities.

Una nor dey taya.

It is possible for any economy to be "fastest growing"

it depends on the definition and how long you are measuring.

Are you are measuring for a period of 1 week ,month ,year or 10 years .

A sperm cell is fertilized in its mother's womb and the zygote is microscopic. It CANNOT be seen with the naked eye. 9 months later it is 3 kilos . That rate of growth will not be seen it its life again
So fast rates of growth will always be seen when starting from nothing

However for the claim to be credible we need data . What ,for example,was the reference period and what was the rate of growth in the other regions . It is not possible that if such measurements were taken they ignored other regions.

THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE SOUTH EAST in
The 50s and 60s
There was Eastern Region today's
Rivers,Bayelsa,Cross River,Akwa Ibom,Imo,Anambra,Abia,,Ebonyi,Enugu

where did I mention Yoruba in what I wrote? Try and learn how to read. I don’t know the reason for your failure and bitterness in life. Shift that energy to hardwork and better your life

Guestlander:


Olodo omnna who said a communist country couldn't have the resources to support another country militarily? Did Cuba not assist the MPLA in Angola and did that make Cuba an economic power?
Is that even the point of this discussion? Another half baked Ignoramus.

Such a daft proud senseless small boy who is destroying his future by joining animals here in their tribal shenanigans.
What is the essence of this thread?
Is it to talk about economical structure??
A daft Tribally bigoted animal like you can never make sense,so just rest with your daft tribally bigoted submission.

you don't claim people who doesn't want to belong to you. let's learn that and not to behave like hausa - fulani

Igbos can and will never claim any ethnic group in nigeria the igbos we all know are very proud and industrious people who are capable of achieving anything on their own they don't have such history of wiping out other smaller ethnic groups who shares border with them in other take over their ancestral lands like the way fulanis usually does to non fulanis in the north.
All what am saying is that there's absolutely nothing like south south in geography a neutral foreigner will still see most states in the so called south south as south east when he looks at the current nigerian map. You are free to name urself whatever name u choose but not south south that is not universally accepted in geography or even in the dictionary no igbo man will ever force any non igbo speaking community into the igbo nation get this very clear here.

It's alright but still take away that thought or propaganda from ur mind that igbos want to or is forcing u people into the igbo nation or biafra. Alex ekweme an igbo man was the one that spear headed the creation of the current six geo political zones in nigeria during the time of abacha if igbos really have such plans he won't have fought for such to come to reality.

What reality
Where is geopolitical zones gazetted?
It has no legal or constitutional basis.

Yes it's not yet gazetted but the federal govt and political parties have been using it to reflect federal character in the 1999 constitution and might be further used in the restructuring of nigeria in the future.

They are the same people my Nigg….

Just Like Yoruba of Naija and Yoruba of Benin/Togo.

You don't just waste data to claim wastefully on unrealistic internet, because it won't change anything in the reality that you wanting,,,,but instead come to real life and claim.....

At the expense of the minority provinces abd western Cameroon.

We all know how Zik gave his Igbo minions the order to ensure the non Igbo provinces never got to leave and have their own region and how Zik said it will see to the defunct yeast become the poorest if the minority peoples were to leave.

Parasites

you illiterate grass eating cow,,,,is there no other way to describe the people other than minority?
next time don't talk on our favour again if you will not address us with Ijaws, or South south or even niger delta.
