[quote author=Baba_O]Nigeria was born in 1914
Oil was discovered in 1956 in commercial quantity for the first time..., some of the illiterates wagging "our oil", "our region"... were even born before 1956, and have quickly forgotten that they benefited/educated immensely from groundnut/cocoa money of earlier mainstay of Nigeria economy . This is a mere sign of greed, crude, lack of civilization, ..........[/quote]Hw cud dey hv benefited frm cocoa n groundnut money wen nigeria was running a regional govt in those days? Didnt u ppl balkanise d con3 n concentrate power at d center all because oil? Well i de laf ND dey aint seen nothing yet. Let dem cari dia own cross

Saklekplus: stupid tribe,we go pursue igbo out of yorubaland expecially lagos and our new atlantic city,,u bloody thieves,scam,fraudulent and chimpazee generation tribe

Lazy ass dying of envy, get a life bro n leave igbo out of dis matter

Anvaller: What indigenous enterprise are u talking about? I hate to argue along tribal lines but u guys are always pushing one into that direction due to ur ever arrogant, egocentric, self eulogizing mentality. Apart from 2nd hand clothing business and electronic appliances, what more do u sell out of a thousand other businesses that are in Ibadan? And u can not tell me that there are no several indigenes that do the same business that your ppl do. At least before I left Ibadan in the early/mid 2000s, the most popular and successful boutique in Dugbe which was Emerald Emporium was owned by a Yoruba guy (not sure if he is still there). U guys like to believe that u are doing those business because indigenes don't know how to do it. U never appreciate the fact that the indigenes are accomodating enough to allow u to do it without having a problem with it. Do u allow any non Ibo person to run any form of business in Onitsha?

Once again, just like someone has told u here, u ppl like to tell urselves anything and believe it. Stop deceiving ureslves. And cut down on that arrogance, I have Ibo friends but they are humble ones and they themselves do not like the typical arrogant ones, they make the Ibos look bad.

Nigerians r deceiving themselves. Only Aba n Nnewi have indigeneous technology n craftmen. Dats hw d Asian tigers emerged. All these big foreign owned companies siting in a regiön only help 2 impoverish dem d more while dey rejoice over GDP.

Wats wrong with dis abia n anambra ppl sèf?

SLIDE waxie: That's is what i call 'massive development' in the eastern part of Nigeria!! That's all they can do!
Nuttin else!

Lol, wen it kums kidnapping PH bekums eastern 9ja bt wen it kums 2 oil it bkums south south. 9ja ppl i hail o

Bad news 4 chisco, ABC, Ekene dili chukwu, dan dollars, GU okeke, young shall grow , ifesinachi, CN okoli, bestway etc. Let dem use dia buses 4 town service since danfo has been banned, or let dem merge n start dia own low cost airline

Ha na-acho onye ha ga-alaputa dika n'afo 1966

odua boy: But the ibadan ones are not collapsing since it's not aba made

It collapses evriday bt its nt worth reporting because its jst a mere mudhouse

Abagworo: RIP to the dead. I've still not been able to understand Igbo people's love for 4 storey building or there about. I've once been a critique of the buildings which is noticeable in most Igbo towns and villages.

we dnt hv enof land

I used all my NYSC savings 2 start wit 100 layers, dia was out break of Gumboro at week 8 and wipe dem out remaining veri few. I learnt my lesns d hard way, nw hv a 2nd batch of 50 birds fully vaccinated

agbameta: Exactly what's the so called 70% goods? Consumables? Construction equipments, Farming equipments, automobiles? Just what?

1. How many people are left in the east to consume 70% goods entering Nigeria? What are they doing with it?

2. What and where are the construction activities in the east because the east is not synonymous with projects and they haven't commissioned any in a long time?

3. The buying power and population needed to consume 70% of the goods entering Nigeria is not in the east, even the meager GDP of the whole eastern region can not support 70%.

4. And this 70% figure came from where exactly? From inside ya pata or some official government data?

I know you people like to beat your hollow chest needlessly, but try pump your breaks sometimes because your proclamations gets too absurd, ridiculous, kindergarten and elementary sometimes..

Onitsha is a veri large wholesale market and ppl kum frm ova nigeria evn niger n cameroon 2 buy goods.
Hw abt ur own hollow chest u beat abt being d most educated while jamb n unity school statistics continue 2 prove u wrong?

omonnakoda: Lagos will end up with 5 seaports and several airports.Thank God we don't have swampy or creeks as our coastline and we have leaders with foresight. The Lagos Port has been there since 1890 and the new ones will be built by businessmen with vision Eko oo ni boje
The Ibaka seaport will be good for the SS peole while the landlocked SE will look on in envy

so d ibaka port will be more beneficial 2 smbody at Benin dan smbody at Aba?

Madawaki01: and they will say ibadan is bad...cant stop laughing

Ibadan is bad in terms of d kind of houses u see there. Aba is bad in terms of public infrastructures

Nigerians shud go and learn entrepreneurship at Aba. See as they close n open wit govt moni, Aba industries r immuned 2 bad govt. Only public infrastructures suffer bad govt

MaximusDMeridux: No make me vex o! I said I don't give a damn, I don't care at ALL. If you like live in Abia or Aba, if you like build schools on each square cm, I don't give a damn still. I just need you off the land of my fathers, go to your fathers land or did he not give you any land?? Why must you die on top my property, this is not funny! Must your housefly follow the corpse into the grave? Haba! It is for a reason almost everyone will want to live in or visit NY, same for Lagos, why won't anyone want to live in Abia, when in fact the people are running away from it? Or do you want me to tell you about Isi Alangwa? It is right there in Abia!

cry cry baby, abeg grow up.

bloggernaija: What exactly is that investment you are talking about and how many locals are employed there.
Is it a petrochemical plant
Refinery
A road or a bridge.
A power plant or a port
A water plant or a sewage treatment plant.
An airline or ..



I can go on and on.

Ever heard of d word SME? 4 ur info dat is wat holds d economy

I will lyk apc 2 win anambra. Dey will work hard in d state in oda 2 gain more acceptance in SE.

Wen will SW embrace capitalism? Hw cn state govt be running garment factory? We all kw hw govt tins r mismanaged n looted. Take example frm Aba, upon all d bad govt it didnt affect d industries because it's nt run by d govt. Its a gud development bt sustainability may be a problem.

Soludo shud go back 2 classroom in UNN plz

Dopestfiend: And no single jew made the list with their ever mouth running joke of being the this and that in nigeria.

Dangote, d richest is frm kano, yet poverty is ravaging d state. Apart frm kano city, other places r littered wit mud house, wats d need having d richest man? Wat we have is d highest number of rich ppl on d average

Nightshift: Personally, no matter the type of development those who call the shots want for Enugu, the city's relatively clean and green environment must be protected.
More tree planting should be encouraged, and laws to protect old trees in the city must be enacted. Those beautiful mango trees in old Enugu ( Iva-Valley, Coal Camp areas around UNTH, GRA , etc), were painstakingly planted by lovers of green environment.
Late C C Onoh took it further by planting many palm trees around his properties at GRA.
The canopy of hills which stretches from Agwu area through Enugu, and ends at 9th Mile area of Udi, is the only such landscape in Igboland. The hill no doubt gave the city its unique name.

Udi hills did nt end at 9th mile, check ur encater map, Nsukka is sitting at d peak of udi hills, with beatiful green hills and d coldest in d eastern region followed by Obudu in cross river. I've notice our brother frm d hinterlands kw little abt d town except those dat studied in UNN, maybe because at d extreme north of igboland n because civilization came late dia bt d landscape n climate is 2nd 2 none in d eastern region, a factor, we were told, influenced d siting of d 1st indigeneous university in d then remote area. And dis construction company destroying Oliveth Hill shud be stoped, does any1 kw any NGO dat cn help?

Chino48: Ekweremmadu is right now warming up to take over from Chime. I don't know if that will go down well with Nsukka people who have been shut out from the corridors of power since Okechukwu Itanyi's time.

sullivan will neva hand over 2 ekweremadu. He has made it clear dat he is handing over 2 nsk man. 2ndly Abuja politicians cnt win guber election because dey lack grassroot support outside dia enclave.

D states r poor bt d ppl r rich because dey r highly independent n self reliant

Gud 2 hear d Akwa ibom man calling himself easterner. Nigerians shud stop dia divide n rule in d eastern region

I'm nt sure if SW kws d meaning of development. Does it mean dat countries like Czech, Luxembourg, austria, romania, hungary etc are nt developed? Is it all abt high rise while slums litter everywhere?

I have been telling them that all those high rise by multinationals and FG is not real development. Economic empowerment of the ppl through SME is what will bring real development.

Nebeuwa: Not every city can become king in Igboland. Enugu should be our capital. And it should be our main concern now.

I know people may disagree with me, but this is how I rank Igbo cities in order of importance.

1. Enugu
2. Onitsha
3. Aba
4. Owerri
5. Nnewi
6. Umuahia
7. Awka
8. Orlu
9. Abakaliki

and Nsukka, anoda potential fud basket, dnt 4get Adani Rice and also a host 2 our 1st generation university. D town nids upgrade in anticipation of foreign student kuming 2 our proposed Havard of Africa

Which product does Lagos make locally? I kip warning them 2 b kiafl of foreign invaders n develop local technology bt dey r in a hurry 2 build world class megacity ova 9t. If Lagos cn give Abia ppl Fashola on loan (Lol) dey will surprise d world
