I'm really sorry for what is about to unravel in Anambra. Just like what happened in Imo State, the most unpopular and most incompetent person is about to be rigged in.

This is going to be the most easily rigged election in history. With the sit-at-home that is being pushed ahead, these goons working in tandem with the electoral officials and with support of Abuja and law enforcement agencies will allocate arbitrary figures to themselves and the unpopular and most incompetent candidate will be declared winner.

There is no doubt that Soludo would win by a landslide if the elections are to hold in a free and fair atmosphere. There is also no doubt that he will build on what is already on ground to lift Anambra to greater heights. But sadly, all that is going to be a mirage.

You are right but that doesn't stop them from rembering the dead..

They do remember the dead in their own way, but believe me, their hands are tied at the moment. Had it been Anioma is a state, they too would be in lockdown just like other Igbo states.

Anyone who can think deeply already knows that Nigeria is breaking up gradually. Forget about rhetoric and propaganda from both divids but that's the reality. Igbos are the ones that will determine if Nigeria breaks up or not, and I will explain why in this article.

The truth is that secessionist groups, particularly IPOB have capitalized on mass Igbo anger against Nigeria to build a formidable base in the East. Already, they're fast becoming so powerful in Igboland that you can't come out publicly now to condemn them in the SE!

The question is, how did IPOB grew from obscurity to become so powerful post 2015? Simple, prior to 2015, many Igbos, especially the elite started believing that Igbo reintegration into Nigeria is now a reality. But that hope was totally destroyed when Buhari emerged and started a renewed national renaissance against Igbos and whatever they stood for. For the first time since 1970, Igbos became alienated again and grossly discriminated against and many lost hope of ever being accepted in Nigeria. IPOB was on hand to exploit the situation to their advantage and boom, their ranks swelled! Their accounts swelled from global donations too! And their capacity equally grew from an obscure group to a behemoth controlling millions of dollars and millions of followers around the world!!

If by 2023, and against all wise counsel, Igbos are denied again, whether by hook or crook, I seriously doubt Nigeria can withstand the outcome and survive as a nation. The Nigeria of 1967 that was seen by the rest of Africa and the world as a beacon of hope for the continent is not the Nigeria of 2021 that is now a huge source of embarrassment and worry. Crude oil that made UK so desperate to support Nigeria, even at the cost of millions of lives is no longer desirable with moves towards clean energy sources. The argument that allowing Nigeria to break up will cause instability in Africa as other nations will do likewise was a massively used propaganda in 1967 but it won't work now.

The last thing North wants is for Nigeria to break up because obviously that would result in sorrows for them. But any major conflict between Igbos and Nigeria will definitely end up in break up, even if it lasts 1 year or 10 years because it would be a guerilla conflict and there won't be a clear winner until UN eventually wades in. Now, whenever UN moves in to restore peace, they always arrive with referendum. A referendum, especially after a bitter guerilla warfare can only result in 100% vote for independence.

Now, once Igbos leave, which other Southern group will want to remain?

Allowing Yorubas to rule in 2023 will add zero advantage to Nigeria's continued existence or to North because Yorubas would only lose interest in Nigeria once Igbos leave but provided Igbos remain, they will remain too regardless of the insecurity situation.

The only thing that would prevent the violent break up of Nigeria now and going forward is Igbo presidency in 2023. It's not a threat but based on realistic projections

ScamHunter:
Stop posting rubbish. Nigerian tribes are hard wired to unite if the adversary is Ndigbo. Why do you think they were against Jonathan in 2015? They subconsciously linked him to Igbo because he wanted the best hands in his government who were incidentally Igbos. If you think Yoruba will consciously discard their jealousy and envy and desire Igbo progress, you're dreaming. Not even the threat of genocide from Fulani against them will make them do that. A people who denied their own who wanted to set them free for free food in Nigeria will not bat an eyelid to support Fulani against you for the same free food (crude oil).

The consensus for Igbo presidency come 2023 would not be as a result of threat but the fact that most Nigerians, Fulani inclusive are searching for exit valve and they're aware that Igbo is the solution if this country would survive another 5 years. They're all simply in a quandary knowing that it will take the Igbo magic touch to rescue Nigeria from precipice, not that they cannot unite against us. In fact, I see a consensus for all Igbo candidates in 2023, not out of love for Ndigbo but out of fear of living without Nigeria. What we have in Nigeria are mostly deeply insecure tribes who cannot dream independent existence the way NdiIgbo do.

I like people that think deeply and logically, and not from emotions.

You made strong points and I would like to add that the North, especially the Fulani rulers there already knows that it would be a very huge gamble if Igbos are sidelined in 2023. The ripple effects will be so bad that Nigeria may never recover from it.

The truth is that secessionist groups, particularly IPOB have capitalized on mass Igbo anger against Nigeria to build a formidable base in the East. Already, they're fast becoming so powerful in Igboland that you can't come out publicly now to condemn them in the SE!

bigpriik:
I am sure 90% of them never knew it happened people that are confused about their identity is it their history they will know? When you blood brothers across the Niger sit a home every may 30th to remember their heroes who died in the Biafran war,over 1000 of your men where mudered in cold blood by the terrorists Nigerian army in 1967 just because you you speak the same language with the so called southeast brothers,just like a Nigeria you have no respect for your fallen heroes odiegwu..

Sometimes you shouldn't allow emotions to becloud your sense of reasoning. Delta is a heterogeneous state made up of several ethnicities. Worse still, these same ethnicities cried blood when Asaba was made the state capital against their wish for Warri to be used. Out of the 4 major ethnic groups in the state, 3 wanted Warri to be used as capital instead of Asaba.

After considering all the factors I mentioned above, do you still consider your wish for Anioma people to lockdown Asaba as an altruistic one?

Allowing a totally dysfunctional country like Nigeria complete with Islamic terrorists carving out territories and enjoying sentimental support from the central government, is akin to allowing a mad man to be playing with lighter in a gas plant.

Nigeria is the last country the West will allow to develop such, they don't even sell certain military hardware to Nigeria because they're afraid it will be abused how much more rockets.

Even if the West decides to allow you develop such against all odds, don't you think you will end up wiping out your region due to gross incompetency that will lead to a nuclear meltdown?

My abo.ki friend, you should stop such unproductive fantasies and rather think of how to save your people from ravaging hunger

Coronabirus:
Why Nigeria’s Test Rockets Send Waves Across The World

[s]While it is public knowledge that Nigeria has a functional and reputable space agency ‘the National Space Research and Development Agency’ (NASRDA), not many are aware that the country’s rocket propulsion technology remains unmatched on the African continent.


The country’s technological advancement on rocket propulsion systems places it above its counterparts in Africa, as far as the space race is concerned.

As early as 1961, the Nigerian government began showing propitious interest in space research and technology, when it played a crucial role in manned space travel, housing a $3 million NASA space station in Kano, North-West Nigeria. The space station was part of a NASA satellite tracking stations system strategically located along the earth’s orbital track, under Project Mercury to test the viability of human space travel.

On August 23rd 1963, the first ever phone call relayed by satellite (via the Syncom Communications Satellite) between two heads of State was made by John F. Kennedy to Nigeria’s first republic Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa. The phone call was part of a ceremony formally inaugurating service by the new Syncom II satellite launched July 26. Both Leaders discussed the result of peaceful space exploration, Dick Tiger’s WBA title victory over Gene Fullmer and the nuclear test ban treaty of 1963 prohibiting nuclear weapons explosion in the atmosphere, outer space, and under water.

However, it was not until 1999 that the most populous black Nation established its first national space agency, NASRDA.

In 2002, NASRDA revealed its 25-year road map for the research, development and launch of Nigerian made satellites from Nigerian soil by 2030, starting from 2005. Many Nigerians on social media think this is a pipe dream but with the tenacity and enthusiasm of engineers at the Centre for Space Transport and Propulsion (CSTP) and their research breakthroughs, NASRDA appears very optimistic with its 2030 goal.

CSTP was established in 2003, with a vision to develop and construct rockets that will be needed to launch Nigerian made satellites by 2030.

CSTP’s core roles in NASRDA’s 25-year strategic roadmap is to acquire launch capabilities of various satellites to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO), and interplanetary space, by Nigerian scientists and engineers.

The Centre is further saddled with strategic mandates which include to acquire and establish adequate high-tech infrastructure in the country, facilitate the acquisition of scientific and technological know-how in aerospace transport and propulsion, to develop various types of propellants for rocket engines with attention on solid, liquid, and other forms of high-energy propulsion systems to acquire and develop the capacity to fabricate and integrate rocket systems for short, and long-range peaceful application missions and most importantly- to develop and construct rockets that will be needed to launch Nigerian made satellites by 2030. So far, the Centre has recorded notable success in this regard.

By 2019, CSTP had launched over 30 experimental rockets, with tremendous progress on structural wholeness and rocket instrumentation system. The Centre for Space Transport and Propulsion, CSTP has proven itself to be the most active of the six activity Centres of NASRDA.

The others being the Centre for Atmospheric Research, Centre for Basic Space Science, Centre for Geodesy and Geodynamics, Centre for Space Science and Technology Education, Centre for Satellite Technology Development, and the National Centre for Remote Sensing.

Before 2019, the farthest CSTP test rocket still had a record altitude of less than 10 kilometre but it appears the Centre is not sleeping on its achievements yet. Records from test rockets post 2019 are not available to the public but there are speculations that recent data on technological successes at the Centre have been deliberately redacted by the Nigerian government.

This is not unconnected with the worrisome spate of insecurity that has plagued parts of the country for roughly a decade. A fear of missiles and tech secrets ending up in the wrong hands might be the reason for the government’s fear.

Between April and June 2019, CSTP successfully launched three test rockets – CSTP_TL_1, CSTP_TL_2 and CSTP_TL_3. The test launches demonstrated the Centre’s education on efficient solid propellants and the integrity of its new rocket recovery system. Evidence from academic publications of CSTP researchers suggest advancement in guidance, navigation and control concepts, improved rocket thrust and longer burn time.

Despite the tremendous successes recorded by NASDRA’s CSTP, the Centre’s efforts remain greatly affected by inadequate government funding. CSTP’s test rockets are still away from the minimum 160km altitude for Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

However, with increased funding and private sector participation NASRDA might reach the Ionosphere sooner than we expect.[/s]

Trash!!
People should disregard this long but useless epistle because it's only fables and fantasies.

Nigeria has no business with rockets or anything of such, and even if you jihardists decide to smuggle in fellow jihardists from Iran or Pakistan to attempt such rubbish, the United States or Israel will automatically nuke the rubbish before it's even started.

What a joke, you've not been able to protect ordinary armoury or even barracks from Boko Haram, yet you're dreaming of rockets.

What a clown

AlexBells:

If you are interested join us at Igbo Province intelligence agency, you should know why we Core Igbos try to secure Akwa/Cross as our allies, Niger Delta Republic is not just a threat to Biafra, it is also a threat to the Confederate State of AlaIgbo so we have to first break Niger Delta Republic which we have succeeded in Doing, how do we do that by bringing the Akwa/Cross closer to us, Ikwerre and Bonny may be tricked into Niger Delta Republic but never Ijaw Republic,

I hope now you see the game plan, we can be torpedoed using Niger Delta Republic to cut a chunk of AlaIgbo so that's what we are doing disabling Niger Delta, you can't hope to win in Ikwerre, Opobo, Bonny, Anioma if they are tempted with a Niger Delta Republic so join Igbo like minds let's save our nation together.

These things are script, Akwa/Cross remains our core allies but we don't need to form a country with them but we don't need them forming a country with others either, especially when that would give some people we have unfinished business with some imaginary advantage

I was thinking you're a rabble rouser but your line of thought is genuis. I have also considered the points you raised in private severally and it makes sense.

It will always be in our interest for Akwa-Cross to stand as an independent nation if we can't forge a union with them in the long run. Because that will automatically make Azumiri river an international waterway and we can always have an understanding with Akwa-Cross for maritime access than with those drunkards that likes militancy. Any relationship with those people will always cause instability unlike a an Akwa-Cross that will likely be peaceful.

As for having a Niger Delta republic comprising all the SS states, such is highly unlikely due to certain factors. Edo and Itshekiri will never accept to share a country with Ijaws for obvious reasons. These two groups will either want to go with Yorubas or form their own republic.

Please connect me to the think thank group you talked about earlier.

AlexBells:

Before you think about yourself also look at others, I'm an advocate of Confederate state of AlaIgbo (CSA) but something is really cooking up and the children of Danfodio knows better not to attack us, but the Akwa/Cross people are very vulnerable especially cross river so,

if they stick to Kanu maybe they could be considered during the Refendum, cause if the cards are played fine the referendum maybe granted, otherwise I believe in AlaIgbo but letting Cross River invaded could only be stopped By Biafrans, I'm basically an Igbo fundamentalist, so they need Biafra we don't, see the map I'm focussing on just like you

When a ship is sinking, what a wise man will do is to save himself and his family before considering others.

Right now, Igbos have no business with other ethnicities, we should rather focus on our territories and start digging up our archives to unearth all evidences that will prove the extent of Igboland when the time comes. So, wandering fishermen are already fantasizing about claiming our lands in Opobo and Bonny, that should rather be your concern. After securing our future and territories, then anyone that needs our assistance can be considered.

Stop cheapening Igbos by trying to attach us with others. They should be the ones fighting to come with us and not the other way round.

AlexBells:
[s]The Difference Between the Biafrans and the Core Igbos is that Biafrans have conscience while Core Igbos don't have conscience especially when passion is the question we both have a big and loving heart though, Biafrans are also more vocal and I think it good and sometimes bad as well.

This message is for our allies in Akwaibom and Cross River, hold Nnamdi Kanu tight, forget his brash method of speaking, he is a good man with a heart of milk.

I'm not trying to market Kanu, but Kanu don't want your oil nor Access to the sea, at most we can survive even if it is with only South East and if Biafrans are hungry for minerals they would want a United Nigeria becuase most solid Minerals are in the North and Eastern oil is already depleted to fund Abuja, AlaIgbo would only extend our industry and more to Opobo and at most Bonny.

Thank You Emeka Ojukwu for showing that the Igbos are not caward however the core Igbo is continuing with the inspiration and Vision of Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, only that now, everything is focused in Igboland, an AlaIgbo where there shall be order, industry, peace and respect for the rule of law, an AlaIgbo of minimal corruption.

At most we are focused on AlaIgbo and however Bonny is under our potential protective umbrella and every other party should keep off.

The North want no confrontation with us neither do we, AlaIgbo remains committed to the Biafran territory as we see Kanu as our esteemed figure in our negotiation with the rest of Nigeria especially the North.

There shall no longer be Midwest as Igbo part of Midwest is with the Confederate States of AlaIgbo (CSA) also Igbo Province of Nigeria, the Benin Kingdom and Itsekiri can figure out their way from there.

Like Ojukwu noted in Aburi, Gowon was occupying Lagos by force of conquest and as such we can no longer talk on any issue concerning Western Nigeria and the Colony of Lagos, once the actions plays out, the Igbos would negotiate with whoever that is in charge of Lagos especially in the way forward for our people domiciled and holding properties there.

Akwa/Cross should not take this message lightly. The Ijaws would figure out their way also possibly with Ogoni and the Rest.
[/s]

Stop writing crap, Igbos don't need anyone to be great. I doubt you're Igbo self because you just want to mock Igbos for no reason.

What exactly can anyone offer Igbos that we do not have? Human resources? Natural resources? Oil and gas? Access to ocean? When we already have all these in abundance.

What every well meaning Igbo wants is an all Igbo nation including all Igbos in SE, SS and Benue state. Not an inch of Igboland must be left behind including our territories in Bonny and Opobo. That's what you should be rallying for and forget others.

Audio!!

There is nothing to celebrate here if you look at it critically. Forget about the millions and billions of dollars they like throwing about.

All the so-called investments were by existing firms in Nigeria. They probably took local loans to finance one internal project or another. Imagine MTN, NNPC and Egbin power? WTF?!

Wake me up when foreign investors move in with fresh funds to establish Greenfield projects.

Na Dem, afonja Muslims!

I don't know why they like engaging in all manner of evil schemes. From mining skulls to this. Imagine a wife to pay criminals to kidnap her husband because she feels he is stingy

What do I even expect from people that make sewege soup cooked with toilet brooms their favorite delicacy. Spits!

Donaluta:


Why would you say the privatisation of delta steel was done by atiku... Seems you did not read where dey said it was handed to premium steel 1983 or so.. abi you just wan rant

It seems you are yet to understand those guys hiding behind fake patriotism to push ethnic agenda. In their desperate attempts to promote Tinubu presidency, they now go about attacking anyone they feel could be an obstacle to that crazy idea, if it means using lies and propaganda to do so.

It is only bigotry and wickedness that will make someone to desire a fossil to rule over humans.

SMH.

They've accepted their slave status for peace to reign

Always making noise online and threatening their neighbors. Always mentioning how they're indigenous to Ondo, Edo, Delta , Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom. Their number of states keep growing online and they've now added Akwa Ibom too

Real indigenous people don't come online everyday to claim they're indigenous to a place because there is no need for such awareness but when a settler decides to claim indigenous they will continue repeating the lies everyday while hoping that people will get used to it and accept it as truth.

I thought the fools claim they're also indigenous to Abia State so why don't they add to their stupid list, or is it because they know Igbos won't tolerate their nonsense unlike other minorities?

SMH.

Lesson for Nigeria. It's not about sending useless army to be shooting defenseless villages. Ordinary Boko Haram and bandits they can't even defeat, is it a conventional war that an already broken Nigeria win now?

DeltaFire:
[s]WHY SOUTH EAST IGBOS WILL GET NO SYMPATHY FROM SOUTH


People in other parts of the South are mocking that SE Igbos are being killed and their land under fire. Here are the reasons:

1) Many bloggers had been warning Ndi Igbo since last year that Nnamdi Kanu wanted to bring death and destruction to Igbos e.g. Ijele and Blessedom. Me as welll if you read my posts. Igbos laughed.

2) Nnamdi Kanu was heard to say his agenda is to bring Somalia war to Igbos. Igbos laughed.

3) Nnamdi Kanu was heard to say that Igbos are cursed and nothing good can come from Igbos. Igbos laughed.

4) Igbos were warned to stop funding IPOB and that their carrying guns plus killing of police will bring Fed government military to Igbo land. Igbos laughed.

5) Right from time Igbos have been boasting they are INTELLIGENT and so WONDERFUL. God replies to them: Pride comes before a fall.

My brothers, for Ndi Igbo you are my brothers and I have warned you that these Biafrans want destruction of Igbos so they can build their Biafra gangland on AlaIgbo. Will you listen now? Or will f00lish pride encourage more of you to be killed. That will be your choice.

You will get no sympathy from the South, even if again 3M of you get killed for nothing.
[/s]

Trash!!!

Igbos don't need any sympathy from cowards and slaves. We are more than capable of protecting ourselves at the appropriate time, but the question should rather be, can you protect yourselves when the bandits and terrorists currently moving southwards finally begin to feast on you? They already have cells all over the middle belt and SW and what is saving SS is because Igboland is acting as a buffer for them.

I'm sorry for you because people perish for lack of knowledge. Your commeupance is on the way. As for 3 million dying, it will certainly happen in your own region. Just watch and see, they have already surrounded you while you fixate on Igbos that don't know of your existence.

NLPoliceWoman:

Rule 2.

2. Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members

Very typical and so shameful. You insult and provoke others with one moniker then switch to another to report those that react to your attack.

What manner of human being are you? Are you even human yet you support evil with all your life.

Karma is real and may you get your own fair share of it.

slimghost:
You have denied it even though investigation is ongoing?.
Nigerian army, a very useless organization!!

All Southerners and not just Igbos alone should give this attrocity all the publicity it deserves. The world must be made to understand that Nigeria does not have any army anymore but a band of jihardists rogues on a killing spree against all Southerners and Northern Christian minorities.

When a supposed government started recruiting terrorists into its army, what was their intentions if not to promote a jihard?!

If you think it's an Igbo affair, remember it's only a matter of time before it affects every other place. The earlier the world is put on notice about what is going on in Nigeria, the better in avoiding another Rwanda scale genocide in Africa.

Thank God the global community are already taking notes, they have already profiled Nigerian police as a terrorist organization and next will be the army.

Such madness must never be tolerated by sane minds anywhere!

SlyDev:
If Yoruba want to chase every fulani from South West, they should start with Ibos first, follow by others because everyone of them is a threat to Yoruba existence


You will hear ibo say they will buy 70 percent of Lagos and turn Yoruba to tenant, we know that is not possible but they have it in mind and don't wish us well

You will hear fulani herd men say they own our forest, we know they own nothing but that is what they have in mind for us and they don't wish us well


Me I will pick fulani before I pick ibo as my neighbour

You're obviously among the second generation Fulanis in the SW trying to make themselves indigenes in parts of Oyo state.

kollinzgee:
This is getting serious,do you notice that these guys have dominated the okada industry in Lagos have you being to mile 12,orile,jibowu onikpanu ?it is even worse in ogun,they are found in any forested village infact they are the third largest immigrants after igbos worst part of it is that they are from other neighboring west African countries not even indegenes, something should be done fast wherever Fulanis are much peace disappears..

The hope of Yorubas lies in their masses and not in their politicians. Unfortunately, Sunday Igboho rose up to challenge these sort of things but he was ambushed by the federal government and today he is in prison in exile. Worse still, when Igboho was under persecution, the majority of Yorubas didn't come to his defense like Igbos did for Nnamdi Kanu. If Igbos had kept quiet, Nnamdi Kanu would have either been assassinated or thrown into life in prison. But Igbos realized what was at stake and stood by him despite all the intimidations and emotional blackmails.

In a dog eat dog soceity like Nigeria, throwing your own hit man under the bus will only make you vulnerable to outside attacks and possible destruction.

IPOB were proactive in forming a security network. Forget about the security crises in the SE, that's the handiwork of those defending fulani herdsmen and their attrocities accross Nigeria. They want to cause anarchy in Igboland and make it look like IPOB is a curse than a blessing but we know better.

To be honest, SW is under siege and the only reason why they haven't unleashed serious terror is because they understand it will lead to mass chaos and a serious threat to Nigeria's continued existence especially now that East is fast breaking away. If they succeed in calming the East, then watch how hell will be let loose in the West.

The reason why they kill youths and burn houses in the East over every little skirmish is because they're frustrated with what is happening in Igboland. The resistance IPOB is putting up has seriously affected their evil plans and that's why they minimizer their attacks in the South while bidding their time and restrategizing.

Awolowo once said during the post 1966 crises, that his hands are tied because Northern soldiers are already positioned in Lagos, Ibadan and Abeokuta. Then the population of arewa Northerners in the SW was negligible yet he felt Yorubas were under siege, now that their population has snowballed to become massive, how would the Yorubas be able to defend their homeland should there be a massive conflagration? Won't they fight you to a standstill right there in your homes or even beat you into submission.

SW is currently more vulnerable than any other part of South and should their be hostilities, they will also be the least prepared to mount a challenge.

This is so funny and I can't stop laughing here

Justmesagi:
Before it was between the East and West until the West took a leap and become the indisputable champion with the calibre of artiste that comes from there.

The West offers artistes like Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, Tiwa Savage, Tems, etc.
She also has most top music video directors like Clearance Peters, Dammy Twitch, Meji Alabi, Dapo Fagbenle (Dap), Ademola Falomo, Mattax, Sesan Ogunro etc

But now the South Southerners are at the forefront and may take the "indisputable" tag if the Westerners become over complacent.

The likes of Burna Boy, Buju, Oman Lay, Timaya, Rema etc come from the South South.

Top music video directors like TG Omori, James Omokwe etc.

Where is Omar Lay from?

FILEBE:


I swear. It is. I encourage Aba to continue making and selling put of Nigeria. Also, they should make it up to standard. This is a great new. A very very good PR.

If people don't value what we have at home, outsiders will

Sure, they will certainly export international standard products to UK. After all, same China that ships inferior goods to Africa will still ship quality products to EU and America.

The Abia State government or financial partners should promote similar shops in Dubai and other Western cities.

Euegene100001:
Good one but try make sure its quality sha ! The boxers i bought in owerri from aba i have not forgotten how it injured me .Na only God know it na iron sponge them take make am.

Aba supplies probably 70% of the boxers worn in Nigeria yet it was only you it injured. Carry your yeye story comot here.

Way to go!
But the francophone West African nations are cowards they won't even dare out of fear.

Apart from the politics, English is the world's number one language and having mastery of it can open doors unlike French.

SaintBishop:
Mr man I don't give a fvck where you are from the fact still remains that the east is the poorest region in Nigeria.

Continue decieving yourself while Igbos continue to soar. By the time your eyes will open, we will be light years ahead while you continue to swim in poverty and malnutrition.

Igbos have been diversifying their economy since while you continue to shout our oyel our oyel, very soon there would be no demand for crude oil in the international market and I will know how you all will survive.

NdiIgbo2023:
Igbo Man Opens Only Made In Aba Shoes And Clothes In United Kingdom (PICTURES) – The change we want and need can only start from me and you, he said. An Igbo man by name ‘’Sam Hart’’ who held from Abia state has just announced that he will be opening a store in Portsmouth, United Kingdom exclusively to sell Aba Made items. A step in the right direction. This store will be one of the few stores in Europe who sells such items.

Mr. Hart also encourage others to follow his footstep in doing the same where they leave.

Until we start exporting finished value added goods, we will never develop! The major reason why Niger Delta is still swimming in poverty despite the huge oil and gas is because foreigners come there, lay pipelines and export crude oil while no form of value is added to the region. Aside paying oil workers salary and a little more allocations, what else do they gain? Nothing! But had it been there are refineries, petrochemical companies and the rest producing refined and finished products, that region would have been the most prosperous in Africa. But see their deplorable and shameful condition

This idea is genuis and apart from the direct gains to the investor, this is the biggest PR move for Aba products in recent times.

Igbos have got massive potentials to be truly great. Let Innoson grow into a massive car maker serving Africa and middle East, and let Aba become a global supplier of consumer goods, then watch us become Africa's new hope

Lalasticala please come and move this success story to front page. If it's about bad roads or filth, the other bigot mod will hurriedly move it to front page.
