Indigenous is d key word. Only indigenous investors hav d resilience to withstand economic hardship we are abt to witnes. The foreign invaders will soon flee with further slump in oil price leaving d lazy folks dey operate in dia lands in economic quagmire.

Nobody shud bring d madness called free education to d east. Jst equip our skuls, wen can pay d fees.

Tinubu take note.
Obj had follower and many political sons and daughters all over (sule lamido, the Ubas, soludo, kwankwaso, GEJ etc). Tinubu is a petty tribal lord. See hw he shameless infected national politics with tribal politics

Since the federal character is by state of origin, federal allocation shud also be by state of origin. State of origin shud be captured in d nxt census with full biometric data

logica:
Ohhh! Nice to know that Igbos are colonialists. All hail the Supreme African Race (even if we never heard about you till the 20th Century).

anoda fallacy. Why is egypt and rome not a force to reckon wit compare to asian tigers? Stop fo.oling urself abeg wen did we start hearing abt Singapore, thailand, korea, indonesia etc

adekzy:
It is of general note that there's always massive migration to more economical viable location; reasons for the massive immigration of Africans into Europe/America *now Asia and Aussies.

Despite all the assertion you've made, the ibos keeps throbbing those region(N&W) as there's also indication of massive immigration from the eastern region to the North and the West in search of what *Supremacy?* or greener pasture from a region that you more advance/educated than.

*Imp, It should be other way around*



My question now is what went wrong with the Alaigbo/Ndigbo Nation? Why the wandering spirit and neglect of it intellect people and advance hospitality region?

Kindly please educate us.

Thank you.

why did europeans migrate en mass to Africa, evn settling permenently in South Africa? Why did they also migrate en mass to the Indian islands now called America? Economies a build through expansionism by taking advantage of ppl u are beter than. The flawed arrangement in nigeria favour u 4 nw, u cn easily get lions share frm free oil and stick ur lazy ass one place and yarn dust. If u stay on ur own, hunger will wipe u out if u dnt travel around to places wia u hav advantage over

Minority interest - Igbo miscalculation

we believe in equality. Its nt miscalculation. We dnt nid ur ill gotten advantages. We want a level playground 4 evribody

Ogochukwu Oliseh, change ur name first. Ofeman.u ppl r confused. Delta is nt igbo, but deltan killed Ahmadu Bello and they said igbos killed him. Inconsistent f.ools

While SW can not process cocoa into finished products evn though its in dia backyard SE process hides and skin into finished product 4 export afta buying from d north. Which of d two show more technological advancement? Nw dia propagandist want to put d value of global process cocoa as d value of nigeria raw cocoa. Thanks 4 busting dia lies and making sure dey dnt derail d thread since dey nw lack facts to defend dia lies

SW keep bragging dat they dnt nid oil because they house all manufacturing industry in nigeri and i laff at them. Now oil price dropped and in less than one year manufacturing frm dia area is set to drop by equal percentage. Now if oil stops flowing tell me wats will save d place frm becoming ghost town.

On what basis did you arrive these jaundiced conclusions, if I may ask? You call us the 'hallmark of tribal politics', yet we still allow non-indigenes in our midst to contest and win elections into our state assemblies, and even represent the state at the Federal level. Yorubas are the hallmark of tribal politics, yet we gladly sell land to your kinsmen -- something even your SE kinsmen acknowledge they don't do to non-indigenes in Igboland and even taunt us about their people 'buying up our lands'. Truth of the matter is that the SW has been a magnet for your folks since long before independence. The Region set the benchmark and standard in development ahead of any other long before independence or Oil discovery. Ask your parents and grandparents why they chose to rather school at University College (now UI) and UCH located in Ibadan long before independence and oil discovery, than build a worthy replica for their own folks in the SE.



This is the biggest lie in the history of big lies. Let's do a quick fact-check. The South West is the largest contributor of non-oil revenue to the Federal coffers. FACT. According to the rebased GDP estimate figures contained in the National Economic Report, Agriculture accounts for 22.1% of GDP, while Crude Oil and Gas accounts for 15.8% (download the NER report here: http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/07/19883231/nigeria-economic-report-no-2 ). Add to that fact that the region is industrializing faster than any other in the entire country, thanks to the avalanche of FDI.

According to Adesina the former Agric Minister, Nigeria exported $10billion dollars worth of Cocoa last year (http://businessdayonline.com/2014/11/nigeria-exports-10bn-raw-cocoa-annually). More than 90% of that revenue emanated from the SW. That doesn't include other Agric export earnings (from Tobacco, Cashew, e.t.c) contributed by the region and generated as revenue for the Federal government. Now, bear in mind that the revenue generated from the air and seaports, as well as customs border posts, running into additional billions of dollars, all generated from the SW, also goes into the federal coffers -- and the region doesn't even receive any "13% derivation" from these earnings as the Niger Delta does on Oil revenue. The South West states currently receive more allocations from the center than the SE states simply coz they contribute more to the national commonwealth, simple. Can you present to me any verifiable data of the SE contribution to the the Nigerian commonwealth?

These are verifiable facts with the data to back them up. There's no value that the Igboman is adding to Yorubaland that cannot be replicated in his absense. Not one. We have our own Film industry. We have our own manufacturing industry. We have our own Universities. We have our own artisans and traders that can quickly replace yours in the event that they are relocated for whatever reason. So pray tell what exactly you mean by that statement that the SW needs Nigeria more than the other way round? When we already contribute our share in Oil revenue (from Ondo) and Agric. We also generate revenue via VAT and our sea and land borders.

Like I asked earlier, what does your own region contribute to the National economy?

Lol, u only saw d data 4 cocoa but u didnt see dat immediately afta cocoa is footwears abi? While u export raw agric product we export manufactured products by indigenous ppl nt foreigners, wìch of d two show higher economic advancement?

Idiataqueen:
am going to agree partially with u why?u said it just now dat a whole tribe is messing up lagos dat means u hate them,irony dis tribe is shouting dat they are been neglected,instead of settling it peacefully, another tribe stand up and started insulting dem telling dem to leave their states, ok they agree they want to go d other tribe says no they wont but they can only leave their state.WHO IS NOW WRONG?,WHO IS PROBLEMATIC NOW?

bros 4get dis ofe.mmanu ppl. They r confused. They are d problem wit nigeria with dia insincerity

All the problems with igbos u mentiöned non of them is worse than killing innocent ppl which is d trademark of d north.
Y not kill Azikiwe and Micheal Okpara in ur counter coup and leave innocent ppl alone?

Yorubas will die in silence in dis regime. Dey will get noting yet dey wont complain to avoid ridicule

U will never hear d names of d quota system products wen its in d international comunity wia things are purely on merit.

The so called "2 by 2" shops is d most secure jobs afterall

Gud news. D oil shud dry up already

Orkpekyandega:
The way PMB sounds on this corruption stance, I believe is what has made these people to be scared, and are bent on going to any extent to frustrate his government. God and Nigerians are watching. Our problem in this country is more than what the physical eyes can see, even the heart can not imagine.

Make una go sit down joor. Tinubu enemies are d only corrupt ppl while his friends are not abi? Nonesense, probe Amaechi and fashola and we will kw u r serious

The ancient Biafran empire

laudate:
Very funny, the Ijebu are not Yorubas according to you.

They just bear Yoruba names, wear Yoruba outfits. conduct their marriage, naming ceremonies and festivals according to Yoruba tradition, uphold Yoruba customs and traditions.... yet in your small mind, they are not Yoruba.

Hehehe....keep deceiving yourself and exposing your ignorance.

Lol, same way parts of delta and rivers are speaking igbo and having igbo names and cultures, wit d above coment u hv accepted dat dey r igbos

laudate:
Guy, this your dream of territorial expansion will fail, oh! People from Igbanke, Ika and some other areas in your map have consistently denied being Igbo. So why are you annexing their territories in your map??

Imagine nonsense. Jst because dey denied it? Dey shud first stop speaking igbo dialect and bearing igbo names

Yet our high ranking offices are filled wit half backed products of quota system. Igbos also parade high ranking record breakers too maybe nt up to yorubas but far ahead of d north. Yet we all are only gud as deputies

Did sanusi actually ryt dis :YES Did any yoruba challenge him: NO Did igbos post it on NL: YES Did yorubas attack igbos and leav sanusi and his ppl in those threads: YES funny ppl

Where are we going in this country...the worst is even when some bastards would be crying witch-hunting of which they are not even benefitting anything from these thieves,,but just because they are from the same tribes. Let's join hands and support somebody that wants to liberate us,,they say Sam..he be like some people don enter convenant with poverty..

dis insincerity is wat i hate. Saraki was holy until he disobeyed Tinubu and offended SW. Amaechi is celebrated cos he is still loyal. Who are u ppl fo.oling? Only wat suits u is meant 4 d progress of d con3, but wen it doesnt suit u, u try to burn down d country wit ur agberoish propaganda politics. And to he.ll wit ur accusation on tribalism, Amaechi's ppl r d ones leading to request 4 his probe, but jst becos he is tool 4 u ppl to ascend to places u hv nt bn in a long tym, u shield him.

Nonesense. We southerners r fo.ols. South as a whole lost out long ago, notherners head the three arms of govt ryt nw. Id.iots will console themselves wit "at least we r beta dan SE" because of some powerless positions, evn though SE got a major post with opposition party which never they dreamt of wen they wia in opposition

Unlike in other parts of the country wia only ppl frm elite family can bekum rich
