I watched this video and agreed with everything he said. He understands our problems.

It's the issue of access to sea. Afam I am a well rooted man in Rivers State and I can swear with anything that it is impossible as things are right now to attempt building any canal that will cut across Rivers land for Igbos to trade. Anybody that tells you it's possible knows nothing or is deceiving himself.

We need sincere peace and trust with these minorities before such dream can come true.

Having access to the sea is one of the bigger things. We can start with the smaller things which to me are just as important. What access to the sea do Kano and Kaduna have? Uyo? Abuja? Development can happen whether or not we have access to sea. We just use this deficiency to discourage ourselves.

About the dislike by minority groups, there's really nothing we can do about it since they have their minds made up already or should be bow down and worship them?

Abagworo:
Afam before Igbos move out, others were coming to Igboland to trade. I have personally concluded on my plans to sell off all my landed properties in Rivers and Abuja then invest in Owerri and Enugu while my businesses still run here.

Uyo that you mentioned is not a viable town to make money like Aba, Owerri, Enugu and Onitsha. Most of the villages/towns Igbos live and establish their businesses in the North and South do not have as much infrastructure as Nnewi but they still prefer living there. We need to come back home and build things that Nigeria lacks and then prove to our neighbors that we are brothers and not a domineering people as they perceive.

Yes, it is not. Imagine if Aba, Owerri, Enugu and Onitsha had the infrastructure in Uyo. We have cities that are ready to explode but our problem is paucity of funds and bad leadership.

raker300:
Igbo land is already being built up real fast here.

Come down east and see what's happening here

Stop raising unnecessary alarm. Nothing is being built up really fast. Everything is at a very slow pace. Some other regions are even doing better.

caleboxylic:
Which infrastructure is in you? Uyo is a small town.

I'm aware of how small of a town Uyo is. Uyo is not more developed than Enugu or Owerri. But they have an infrastructure that they can start with and they will be a force to be reckoned with in decades to come. That's what we're missing in the south east because of paucity of funds.

Abagworo:
Without achieving peace with our Nigerian neighbours our only hope is to trade by air. As things stand today we live in an area surrounded by jealous tribes who have continuously lived under the false myth of Igbo domination.

I don't see what our neigbours have to do with this discourse. This topic is aimed at encouraging Igbos to invest in Igboland. We have never clamored for non-Igbos to invest in Igboland. We have the human capital. All we need is to channel it into Igboland.

So, why's this at variance with the renewed order published earlier?

Great topic you have here...However, in my usual truth telling nature, i'll aanswer some of the rhetorical questions you posed giving you the reason why things may not work out as we wish.

The DNA of the average Igbo man has been tampered with such that he how now started thinking like a jew that will live his entire life in America without ever think of moving back to Israel, his homeland. We have taken this one-Nigeria slogan soo seriously that we think we can just adopt to live anywhere outside Igboland despite the constant harassment by natives.

One revolution that i think we should focus on is the "Think Igboland" mantra that will be aimed at cajoling Igbos from all over Nigeria to build Igboland and this revolution involves the governors in the region. All hands need to be on deck to turn Igboland into a more commercially viable region.

The truth is that it's actually more viable to setup a business whether in form of a hotel, factory, school etc in other cities outside Igboland than it is in Igboland. So, that's why you see our investments in Lagos, PH, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja and all over the place. When people see the south east is too small for Igbos, it's really not about land as we can have an upward development as far as housing is concerned. The problem is that the resources in the south east are too thin to be enough for the current population let alone if all Igbos come back home. The onus is on our leaders to think big and plan for the future. It's never enough to tell people to leave their profit making business to Igboland out of charity. There's how far charity can take you. The world has become a global village and people don't care as much as living in their ancestral land, so you need more than just telling them that just because they'r Igbo thaat they should move back.

Truth be told, if any Igbo city can attain the level of infrastructure in Uyo, Igbos will naturally wan to come back and set up of something. There has to be a catalyst.

She is 17 and has been "dating" for 5 years. In other words, this whole sordid affair began when she was 12 years old. Clear case of child abuse and rape.
In civilsed climes seducing a child is called "grooming" and it carries its own punishment apart from the penalty for rape and defilement.
Unfortunately, Nigeria is run by the followers of a certain pedophile, illiterate "prophet" so this bastard will get off Scott free. Just watch this space.

The boy was also underage when the relationship started. Though now that he's 19, the girl is still 17 which is child abuse.

Sanchez01:
True this. I have come to notice that Urhobos fast latch on to Yoruba as a language and are often open to inter-marriage with the Yorubas.

The genetic make-up remains a wonder and I wish the language was guarded in that manner.

This doesn't mean nothing. The ability to speak a language or marry Yorubas is not an evidence of sharing a history with a people. Anybody can have the ability to learn any language.

fratermathy:
Urhobo, Bini, Ishan and Isoko have more to do with Yoruba than Igbo, actually.

The colour of skin is not a yardstick for knowing the origin of a people. Africans are not fair or white. Some Igbos may have acquired a lighter tone over time due to "contact" with Europeans.

You're distorting our history. We had no contact with Europeans as far as mixing goes. We just have more lighter complexioned black people than other groups.

I can't believe that nobody from the south is challenging the northernization of our military outfits. Apart from the fact that the personel is dominated by people from the north, the bases are also cited in the north.

I think Urhobo and Yoruba are somehow intertwined historically. There's an Urhobo/Itsekiri man that got his genealogy tested and he found out that he was about 60% Benin/Togo which is Yoruba and a smaller percentage of Cameroon/Congo which could be Igbo or any of the groups east of the Niger.

chigo5:
u dn hear about Quincy

Is that your stage name?

Very old video. Who put this one the frontage. It even trended when it came out.

Rossikki:
Do you ignorant dolts understand there is a $25 billion high speed national rail network CURRENTLY under construction in Nigeria? It will outclass anything Kenya is currently doing, while connecting every state in Nigeria by high speed rail. This is why you and your ilk need to study and research before commenting.

My friend keep quiet and keep your lies to yourself. I wonder why you have not been appointed to replace lie mohammed. Your lie no be here.

Ginaz:
Oh my God, I feel motivated. I haven't aged much too, still look like my old self. When I get married all I want is more fat on my bum bum, nothing else. Love my small stature biko.

Can i have a peep at you before and after picture. I wouldn't mind the bum bum too.

dumo1:
I have ogene and I just downloaded 042. The Zoro guy is good sha. phyno better watch his back. This guy is coming hard on his heels.

042 was the song that brought him out in Enugu and the east. I don't think Phyno needs to watch out for anything. He should just keep doing his thing.

Best is subjective, so it depends on individual preference...Phyno has the fame and is definitely the bigger of the two. Plus he has the best music of 2016 which made it's wai into 2017. Though in a space of less than 2 years Zoro, nwa 042 has released bangers such as Ogene and Achikolo (I so lvoe this one) but i think Phyno still has the edge. Atleast for now.

We need more Igbo rappers.

After all the hype wey tonyebarca do. Dokpesi? Like seriously?

DropShot:
Why must the coach compel them not to fast?


I'm sure they won't mind. Why he has to force them not to fast is what should baffle sane mind.

Obviously, he feels them fasting will affect their performance on the pitch which is very likely. But i think he made the wrong call by compelling them to go against their belief. The players themselves are supposed to opt out without being told.

I think the Muslim players that want to observe the fast should be excused from the national team till after Ramadan.

There's really nothing wrong living with your parents even if you're 40 years old. That being said, the issue is really not your parents but you. It's their house and even if your 40 years old, they will determine when you go out and come in. In view of this, it's best you get you own house, so that you can be free to do as you wish.

All this one on top fvck matters. Father lord, come down and save your children.

So, we should leave our own worries to worry about a guy whose father was the heavy weight champion of the world and had the opportunity to be well to do but messed it up. He should take several sits because our own problem no be here...

Na waoo...what exactly did the guy do wrong?

Thorhammer:
Not only the igbos are crying, we all are crying.. FG. Listen to the cry of Nigerians

Pls, cry your own, let us cry our own. Our cries not intertwined.

shandybaba:
So messi no play when Juve beat them 3-0 and played 0-0 in Barca home. The Juve that beat Barco with Messi na him Madrid beat like kid 4-1 for final for that matter.

So, playing against JUve has now become the criteria to use in comparing players. Some of you are just ludicrou with some of the things you bring up. As if Messi not playing in the premiership is not enough for you guys to masturbate with.

I think most men will like to marry a woman like their mother compared to women to their father. Why's this so?
