You that you can not even feed yourself inside your worthless and unproductive village unless you leave and run to the SW for your daily bread..


These delusional ipob jokers sef.

Haven't you seen the red and very productive soils of the south east? Are you that blind?

EvilMetahuman:
lmao

What oil? Palm oil?


Things igbo land ever given us are army of drug dealers. Evans, osisikanku, vampire,clifford orji. Etc

The likes of chiwetel or adichie or okonjo didn't grow up in ibo land, that's why they didn't become a drug dealer, prostitute or kidnapper.

I'm sure they will be nothing if they had inhaled the red dust of death that covers ibo land from birth..

Nothing good can ever come from south east because the land has been cursed.
That's why god is using erosion to send it back to hell it came from.

Another mumu with a dirty mind and probably a kidnapper "businessman" .Regardless of where Chiwetel or Okonjo grew up ,it doesn't change the fact that they're Igbo stars and world reknown for their achievements.

Surely you jest? Since when has migration been regarded as a sign of affluence? People who stay within their own region have their reasons for doing so, and are not better or worse than those who move from one region to the other.

The most important thing is the reason for such migration. If there is less inequality in the Southeast, why then do your people feel the need to roam around other regions and countries? Is it because they cannot make a success of themselves, or their endeavours within their own region? And please the news from Malaysia, Indonesia etc., about your people is not really something that inspires confidence, as they are often in the news, for all the wrong reasons anyway. So how can you use them as a yardstick? If people can thrive within one region, why then would they need to migrate? Isn't it rather foolhardy, to leave a successful area or enterprise, for an unknown one?

This is pure BS and balderdash.You can't tell me that Makoko ,Ajegunle and Ijora Badia is your yardstick or people who move around alot don't have the skies as their limit.Your argument is really flawed.SERIOUSLY flawed.

It looks far better,well organized and cleaner than Oshidi in Lagos.

EvilMetahuman:
that's because the entire south east is slum.

Dirty stinking slum.

From aba to onitsha. From abakaliki to upper iweka.

Its no surprise that people from that part of the country will do anything to get out of that shitty slum called igboland. They rush down to southwest and form places like ajegunle and maroko because You can take a pig out of the mud, but you can't take mud out of pig.

Igboland has given you all the oil that drives Nigerian economy ,Igboland has given Nigeria its luminaries like Okonjo Iweala ,Nnamdi Kanu ,Ngozi Adichie ,Chiwetel Ejiofor ,Chinua Achebe ....the list is endless.Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

hilroy:
I can see that you are very myopic and unexposed. First, Nigeria which southwest is part of is a 3rd world country, hence you can't rule out poverty. Even US that is a 1st world country has slums, ghetto and poverty not to talk of Nigeria. We Yorubas don't go about self-denying reality like you Osus that make everyone believe that your roads are tarred with platinum and gold whereas your region is the 2nd most impoverished region after the war ravaged Northeast.
You mention Makoko, Ijeshatedo, Agege, Bodija etc. But only if you know that these places are like heaven compared to majority of Igbo towns and villages like Ivo, Ezeagwu, Igbo-etiti, Nkalagu, Ogbunike, Ihiala, Ekwulobia, Ishiagu, Umudike, Akpakume-Nze, Umueke, Ahiara, Oji river, Abala etc. you will cry your eyes off. People are dying of hunger in Igboland on a daily basis, go there to help them and keep your worry about southwest to yourself we don't need them

Now what nonsense and utter drivel is this one propagating? Look down here and see how you're rated poorly.

Better businessmen, in what way exactly? And more level, in what sense? Where is your proof? Are you just recycling their petty propaganda here? Or have you been brainwashed by their empty rhetoric and fake jingles, too?

Better in the fact that there's far less inequality in south east. An Igbo can go live in Malaysia ,Texas ,South Africa or Brazil and still thrive independently while you people only " thrive" in only one region due to peddling influence ,connections to powerful people etc.Two unclean billionaires amidst a sea of paupers is nothing to be proud of.

TayserMahiri:
lol, you have to be in county zero zero one to say that.

No ,no i don't live in country zero zero one and don't have good memories of the place bcuz the last time i went there i got a deadly bout of malaria.

Never been back since then.My current county is named Gwinnett.

This life is miserable for peoples of poor African nations. They would prefer to be enslaved by the whites willingly instead of remaining free men and die of hunger in their motherland.

Poverty is a conscious choice made by most Africans .

How do you teach a grown person to focus ,be diligent ,work hard and put the mental fortutude required to overcome their many challenges?

Look at our towns and see dirty places cuz no one wants to do the hard work,look at our dependence on primary product... bcuz few have the IQ to venture into higher margin knowledge economy ,look at our lack of maintenance culture with our homes looking rundown and look at ow many buildings collapse bcuz we like to cut corners?

Are these the faults of the white man or our own cultural shortcomings that make us poor? Yes ,i believe Africans want to be poor when i look at all our surroundings it all says we'd rather take the road of least resistance.

Hati13:
No, this area is inhabit mostly by Arsi Oromos (Cushite).

Those ppl who wear lip plate are one of the few Omotic language speakers and who mostly inhabit the Omo valley in SW Ethiopia.

Ok thanks i didn't know that.Those people are vastly different from other Ethiopians culturally isn't it?

Are these Omotic speakers a branch of Nilotic peoples ?

hilroy:
Another chestbeater talking with his ass. I hope you are not mentally weak to see the number of industrious Yorubas on this thread

Then why is there so much poverty ,vast slums and very poor quality of plus poor life expectancy in the south west if they're so industrious?

Are you mentally weak also not to see the huge poverty stricken areas like Makoko ,Ijeshatedo,Agege Bodija etc...?

EvilMetahuman:
better business men in what sense?

Going by your logic, why is south east generating less money than north they abuse day and night if the wealth is evenly distributed?

Why is poverty almost same as what you will find in boko haram ravaged north east?

I highly doubt the south east has vast slums like Makoko ,Ajengunle ,Otodo Gbame or Ibadan brown roofs .

The inequality there is not as acute as the south west.

Of the TOP 10 Richest men in Africa, 2 are Nigerians, and Yoruba is one of the two.

But the Igbos are better businessmen overall ,these folks here might have 2 billionaires and the rest are 35m beggars but the Igbo are more level overall with lesser inequalities.

These days, once it begins to rain don't step outside. if you are outside just stay at a place until the rains stops...

This is what happens to dirty people who throw trash everywhere clogging drainage ,building everywhere and having no culture of maintenance.

The last championships in Cali ,Colombia were played in a 35,000 capacity stadium and it never ever even filled during the entire 5 days of the competitions.These were the best attended wu18 championships of all the ten editions.

Is it to see the statue?

Is this statue a like hommage to the area tribes who walk bare breasted and they also wear a lip plate?

Fayose leave our Ibadam alone.

Eeeeeeeww filthy city ,it looks like Ibadan is the most polluted city in the world.

Better Enugu ,Onitsha or Awka they're better cities.

Most industrious black nation yet you import everything?

This thread is just rich in irony cuz intelligent societies don't have so much rotten systems, so much failures and so on...

foyeks2001:
Seems u have personal issues with Lagos because Sango-Ota is in Ogun State

Regardless of where the flood is ,when will any Nigerian city floods at least look as clean as these Turkish floods?

Something is seriously wrong with us Africans.

You're spot on thanks for catching this blatant lie .I have this exact bunk bed in my guest room and we bought it in 2014 its made by Coaster Fine Furniture based in Georgia ,USA.

Africa is the most backward continent on earth.

Did you know that God shaped Africa like a question mark because he also wonders about our high corruption ,laziness ,incompetence and backwardness?

This thread is both tribally chauvinistic and blindly skewed Lol.

Quite a few other African tribes all over the continent can similarly lay claim to "greatest and most intelligent tribe" in Africa .

StarBukola:

Where is the Lagos governor to cash in on Turkish consultancy fees with his vast experience dealing with Lagos floods?

Lionessza:
Lol. Never host again then, give the rights to SA we won't mind you collecting all the medals while we get another ranking on being the best hosts after the 2010 world cup . Deal?

Kenya should host many more even if it means losing the games.

At this time its much more important to host thus placing enormous pressures on the Kenyan government to improve transport and sporting facilities .Your own SA is way ahead in the game of facilities with fine highways ,Gautrain + stadia at least let others catch up.And yes ,South Africa 2010 was epic you guys did a splendid job.

TayserM you're doing a fine job ...keep the photos coming .

And special thanks to the Polish team above for finding time to also plant some trees.Very nice of them.

emmanuelpopson:

to all the pessimists here. we need to understand what the op did was quite great to give this restructuring an open discussion with clear cut analysis of would be results. it should be our yearnings as youths and knowledgeable people that Nigeria is our country and we want it to work. those politicians and looters enjoys this default setting reason because they are scared of the unknown...imagine you are in Enugu and you can travel to USA from there. you can buy a Brand new made in Nigeria car from Nnewi..you can access light rail from Lagos to Kano within hours..power supply is constant and cheap... industries springing up near raw materials like beverage industries, Michelin coming to ikenne to set up tyres manufacturing plant...
I'm so much elated to come across this thread and I believe we are the one who can make this work... we should demand this true federalism/restructuring to make individual regions compete at geometrical progression for its people growth and development.. case study. Kenya only export commodity is the Kenya coffee and flowers...Mexico proximity to USA made them the highest exporter of coffee to north America.. we can do it...

Thats a big ass lie for the simple minded.

Kenya's economy is more diversifed it is actually the biggest exporter of finished goods in the region.Uganda & Tanzania are either 2nd or 3rd largest trading partners of Kenya and that's where most finished goods are exported with USA also coming up nicely due to AGOA trade treaty.

Leave Kenya out of your shit-filled brains .

Do those number plates look like Kenyan license plates to you?

Don't get it twisted, United States is not the best country to be an immigrant, neither is it the U.K. Sweden has been adjudge the best Country to be an Immigrant, according to a recent analysis from U.S. News & World Report while Canada, Switzerland, Australia and Germany round out the top five.

Based on the report, the new ranking assesses the international perceptions of 80 countries, their immigration policies and economic data.

“The 2017 Best Countries rankings revealed that more than 40 percent of respondents view immigration as the most important issue for our world to solve,” said Eric Gertler, co-chairman of U.S. News and the New York Daily News, who was recently honored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York as a 2017 Great Immigrant. “With the recent spotlight on immigration in the U.S. and abroad, we wanted to dive into its potential benefits and challenges on a country’s perceived economic status in the world.”

Here are the top 10 Best Countries to be an Immigrant

1. Sweden
2. Canada
3. Switzerland
4. Australia
5. Germany
6. Norway

See full list https://pageone.ng/2017/07/10/sweden-best-country-immigrant-followed-no-2-canada-no-3-switzerland/

I would love to see an African version of Top 10 best countries for immigrants.

South Africa would naturally top the list but it would still be interesting to see how the whole order flows.
