@vickjames, I love your submission on unity among ndị Igbo. You just spoke my mind. Kudos!
Secondly, just like you, it breaks my heart whenever I see ndị Igbo investing in Nigeria, but I've come to understand that when the chips are down, they will be the ones to bear the brunt of their foolishness, not me. Ndị Igbo na-atụ n'ilu si: ekwuo ma ntị anughị, e bere isi, ntị anụ. What most of them went through in the North is just a tip of the ice berg.
Don't give up though on your effort to get our stubborn brothers to think home. Chukwu gbaa gị ume!

This kind of comment is why I detest many democracies or even few people dictating for millions. Igboland should be run like Chinese democracy by hundreds of brilliant Patriots gathering to brain storm before dishing comments and never allow emotions cloud their judgement otherwise..we will be at the mercy of too many emotional patriots,puppets or moles churning out policies that will never stand the taste of time.

Don't you guys ever wonder what the impact of not investing in North,SW or Middlebelt for the next 100yrs will have in Igboland? This was thesame careless emotional excuse that made America and other Western societies to avoid Africa,now China is investing heavingly all over Africa and they are panicking.

If you guys really have the best interest of Ndiigbo at heart you will naturally balance the whole thing by aswell asking Northerners to stop investing in Portharcourt,Asaba,Enugu,Anambra,Southern Benue and other part of Igboland. Ignoring this part gives us reasons to view this comment with suspicion. I recall when I read about Dokubo and Uwazurike doing a rally in SouthEast I ask someone never to trust these people... I still have the record.. and one of my reason was the desperate tactis he used in forcing home ndiigbo who could have voted for Jonathan this year... while ACF made it a point of duty to see that Northern in refuge camps voted for their own...thw dude "who have the interest of ndiigbo at heart" was busy scream "lata wanu nu no,okwa otuwa ka ojukwu siri kwu,ndi igbo anagi anu ihe". The quickiest way to know if these traitors are loyal or for their selfish interest is to disgise as the enemy and treat them like king, you can break them in a short time.

If I have my way I will lauch a 3billion dollar fund for for innoson,cortix wire, other indigenous companies to spread to to Northern , South West Nigeria and Worldwide. I bet innoson and local compnies is already thinking toward this direction but narrowminded people(both igbo and non igbos) could be frustrating.
The time to encourage or force Igbo companies to spread and conquer other lands is now.
Lest We Forget: NO TRIBE IN NIGERIA INVEST HOME MORE THAN THE IGBOS,I STAND TO BE CORRECTED

First time am seeing people not using our Palm wine and wooden cups in traditional marriage. Some elite though. This is how beautiful cultures start to go extinct,mostly started by elites.

Politicians are paid to stop lawless people from trading on Anambra roadside and other criminal activities but no one seems to care.Wonder why it's so difficult to defend simple law which they swore to do. Why not create space for private people to build attractive and inexpensive stuff like mini-markets, cornerstores,plazas etc on every street for these people and still tax and make money from them

InyinyaAgbaOku:

I will say that sale outlets can remain anywhere but the industries should be in the east.

Exactly!

Cjrane2:


I think Oremi22 is 100% right.

It doesn't have to be yorubaland, even though it is indeed part of the alien territories our people have continued to bury their life savings.

I read the use of the name "Dangote" as a metaphor. I understand it to mean even the wealthiest blackman on planet earth, known for investing every where else in the world has wisely kept his investments out of Igboland that he considers enemy territory. I doubt there are any hausa or Yoruba man that has a hut in Igboland, yet Igbos are "wisely" exposing all their wealth in hausa and yorubaland for their enemies to easily target, convert or destroy.

Any Igbo person even a tenth as rich as Dangote, would have bought all the land in Kano,Kaduna,Sokoto, Abuja, lagos and Osogbo.
The baffling stupidity of our people with the continued investment of all their treasures in the enemy's territory has become untenable and truly embarrassing. Therefore now, we must clearly tell those that have continued with that foolish behavior to know that "they are on their own"

This primitive bashing of your fellow tribesmen doing business where is best for them will change nothing. I wonder why you people worry too much. you never made them what they are today...next you will begin to tell us they too greedy.
Another tribe that moves like the igbos are the fulanis but how many times have you heard the Fulanis asking their tribesmen to come back when they are under attack by host communties

Our business men are very adaptable. Frankly speaking if you can't help them don't bother asking them to come back afterall you did not sponsor their journeys.

Most of our business men are cold blooded capitalist. No amount of hostility can stop them from investing where they are guaranteed of profit not even war-torn Somalia or South Sudan.

By the way, No tribe in Nigeria invest home more than the Igbos. Sometimes I wonder where you guys get your fact from and why the obsession with this topic. Who is sponsoring you you people?

* $860bn: The size of Norway's Wealth Fund, the largest in the world, accumulated from not sharing but investing all the revenue earned from its production of oil and gas.

* Four(4), the maximum percent of earnings from Norwegian Wealth Fund that can be directly injected into its economy which is funded through taxes.

*Common sense demands that if a country's foreign reserves is being depleted, the first step is to open up to attractmore foreign investment.

* The percentage of retail and wholesale businesses that
foreigners can now own in Saudi Arabia, up from 75%, in its
drive to attract new investment.

*Ghana is now suffering the 'Oil Curse' after tripling salaries in the civil service and expanding energy subsidies, and borrowing heavily.

Rather than over dependence on borrowing Obiano should marshal out a plan that will make the building of Anambra infrastructure VERY attractive to investors in other to encourage them to pour in their money into economically viable ones


On the Biafra issue....
May i suggest the inclusion of 8 or more Stars on Biafra Flag to represent all the Biafra states or provinces. Also, rather than getting grumpy about Ikwerre and other Ndiigbo who are denying who they are I would suggest we "RECRUIT THE LOYAL ONES to lead the movement in their States. There are many ikwerres in Rivers state and in government that are fanatically in support of the movement. If foreigners (colonial masters) could use Loyal Hausas,Yoruba,Ebira etc to advance their cause why dont IPO,MASSOB members use very loyal Ikwerre,Etche,Aniomas, crossriverians etc to advance biafran cause.
The movement should not be seen as Igbo Movement

Bishop42:

I don't like that Southwesterner's method. Let's never try to adopt it,believe me. I love what Igbo States are doing on Niaraland.

The only time such method can be beneficial is when igbo are in need of unity mostly against rivals or supporting things of common interest such as in regional development, electing politicians that will protect our interest,prepering for war etc

IGBOPRINCE:
Look at yoruba thread, they re getting to 245 pages, see
the unification of southwest youths coming together to
discussed their states,their cultures,their traditions,their
government and what is happening around them.
You guys re just here holding a slogan like ( onye obuna zaa
afa nna ya).

My friend NgeneUkwene, Are you a male,female or bisexual?

Nnamdi Kalu really making lots of impact in Igboland. I was extremly happy and proud hearing the handsome Enugu dude on the video below mentioning Chukwu okike Abiama in his prayers.. This is how it should be in Africa and all over Black nations. I can bet my life that lack of patriotism is one of the Major causes of chronic Corruption in Africa -- our adopted values are incompatible with our way of life. Only very few Africans will be willing to defend and die for these borrowed values for the fact they aren't original or developed by us. Humans tend to cherish and defend with their lives what they suffer to create and Not what is imported and imposed on them by local dictators and foreigners. We need to create our own values,we need to be original and most importantly we must make sure these values grow and evolve with time.God Bless Igboland

Today's Protest in Onitsha

This is how they operate and how organised they can be... believe me they are everywhere. Their leaders were tutored by Northern Cabals and Islamists.


From Chinedu (not his real name) :

To my Rivers' APC social media friends, know it that I don't
carry propaganda. Whatever I decide to post, isn't far from
the truth. That I have allowed you guys to continue spinning
propaganda without informing the public doesn't mean I don't know what to do. Below is kinda conversation
transpired today on your Greater Together New media
page. I have decided to burst your bubble because u
disrespected my post on plans by APC to use underhand
tactics to favour your dead party. If u continue to dare me, I shall expose more of this. I refused to show the screenshot
here because of decency and respect. However, this would
show u that I have access to getting "classified" info.
GREATER TOGETHER NEW MEDIA
Okah Chris Obinichi complained against Kennedy Friday and
Ozumonu Gudu for not fixing him in any of the committees.
Kennedy replies that he has maintained that Okah should
indicate interest in any department he can fit into.
Kennedy went ahead to list the departments:
1. Research/Documentation
2. Mobilization/Monitoring
3. Propaganda/Intelligence *
4. Creativity 5. Strategy
6. Graphics/Web Design.
Okah indicated interest in Mobilization/Monitoring.
Let me reel out a few names who are my FB friends
attached to various departments.
Research/Documentation
Kennedy Friday, kinikanwo Orlu, Mercy Ugo, Ogbogara Iyalla
Jnr, Princess Kasirim, Tokunbo Kenneth Aledare, Esema
Aguse and Vincent Gbosi.
Graphics/Web Design has: Phreedom Lemeah Kodam, Achor
Omodu,Lawrence C. Onunwo,Sobere Owen Opusunju and
Chinyere Nyebuchi
Propaganda/Intelligence has: Nnokam Amadi Nnokam as
the HOD, Johnson O. Jesse, Ikenda Clinton Elechi, Johnmiller
Johnson, Marvin Nyeche Petters, Mike Lekia, Vyktur Johnny
Enyinna Dike, Johnmiller johnson and others. (Guys know it
that these are the Rivers' APC propaganda spinners)
Solomon Okocha heads mobilization department. Goodluck
Oviebor is also a member of that team.
Strategy Dept. Has as its HOD, a man from my community
whom I wouldn't mention his name because of respect.
Chitzi Ogbumgbada, Nneka Wai Ogosu, Theophilus
Utchaychukwu, Akeodi Ali, Muzan Sam Yellow, Sandra Briggs,
Ibiere Tom-West reigns as its Asst. Sec.
Let me preempt one of their propaganda that may soon
make the headlines on social media.
Kennedy Friday reminded his cohorts of the need to
dramatize the violence during the last election. In his words:
"Good morning great people, we have been doing with
administrative work. Very soon, be sure that we are
heralding the dramatization of Wike's violence before,
during and after the elections in Rivers State".

Ndi Igbo need to be organised too.

ohzee:



Bros one millions likes for this your post. I wish the SE gov forum will take note. We don't need to leave Nigeria and answer Biafra before we can help ourselves. Let Igbos in diaspora even pay small tax to their home states. That will fix all our so called federal roads. Even if the FG doesn't repay us no wahala.

Ohzee,all that matter is what majority of 20million+ Ndiigbo want , opinion of self-centred minority probably hiding outside Igboland afraid of what they would lose if Biafra is restored is useless to me.

Interesting to see that Enugu and most Igbo states are the least ethnically diverse on the Internally Generated Revenue ranking. .

1.Lagos - Multi-ethnic State
2.Rivers - Multi-ethnic State
3.Delta. - Multi-ethnic State
4.Enugu - Homogeneous state
Kaduna-Multi-ethnic state
Kano -- Multi-ethnic State
Edo----- Multi ethnic State

Enugu is doing us proud in Internally Generated
Revenue.We hope it keeps getting better. The improvement in Ebonyi IGR is unbelievable.
God Bless Igboland

FACTS ABOUT BIAFRA!

(1) Biafran agitation has nothing to do with
HYDROCARBON/CRUDE OIL deposits in Niger Delta. Imo,
Abia, Anambra are currently oil producing states in Nigeria
with huge natural gas reserves, not forgetting the enormous
untapped coal deposits in Enugu!

(2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous access to the
sea, including through the River Niger.

(3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million people which
is greater than the population many advanced countries in
Western Europe, including Switzerland, Luxembourg,
Belgium, Holland, Austria....etc

(4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war, violence,
armed struggle or any sort of physical confrontation.
BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means political, economic
and socio-cultural freedom from a feudalist State ruled by
terrorists and Jihadists.

(5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo land. Put
differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not live in Biafra land.
Those who wish could still maintain their residency wherever
they are as well as own properties anywhere in the world,
including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta…etc.

(6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never translate to
loss or forfeiture of landed properties of her citizens in
Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in Nigeria. There are many
domestic and international treaties, conventions and laws
that protects Assets of non-citizens everywhere in the
World, that will apply appropriately.

(7) The NEW BIAFRA shall be a coalition of desirous and
willing ethnic nationalities in defunct Eastern Nigeria and
would never be a forceful annexation of any unwilling
ethnic nationality within its current geo-political definition.
Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibio, Anangs, Efiks, Ogojas, and host of
other ethnic NATIONALITIES shall possess the privilege to
decide whether to tango politically with their Igbo brethren
or go their own separate ways..

( 8 ) Biafra is a train of peace and liberty. A desire for
liberation from institutionalised stumbling blocks like quota
system and federal character principles in Nigeria’s. quasi-
unitary society. It is a movement against internal
colonialism, tribal gang-ups, economic marginalisation and
political subjugation of Igbo and her minority neighbours.

(9) It has nothing to do with hate, bigotry or ethnic
chauvinism. Just a desire to live in a healthy society where
your tribe, tongue, religion or creed does not define who you
are or how far you would
go in your career!

Hong Kong wanted to be the Biafra of China, well China
Refused, what did Hong Kong do ? Their wealthy men and

Now Hong Kong citizens are proud to tell you they are from Hong Kong (they hardly say China)..
China now begs them with style to stay.
Where are our wealthy men and women ? Have you reached out to them ? Are you carrying them along ? Your governors are that encouraging her people to come back home and invest?
Lastly from me, Stop bullying your neighbors if they don't want to join you,
LEAVE THEM ALONE and do it on your own Or try convincing them or their leaders to join you with love..
Yes I read about Hong Kong.
Anyway what do I know ?
Do I want Biafra ? Yes but a Hong Kong Biafra FIRST...

ChimaAdeoye:


if they use enough trees and flowers to make that place a true resort, it will compensate for the poor box-shaped design. The Le Méridien Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort Uyo had an equally ugly design, but they used enough palm trees and golf course to transform it into a true resort.

I wish igboson will come here. He is a great advocate of using flowers and trees liberally in the south east, so that our hotels and major roads look like Abuja and indeed similar facilities in other countries. Unfortunately, for some reasons we just hate a green serene environment which trees and flowers bequeath.

Brilliant Idea!

asha80:
who is talking about illegal structure?do you even know what I was alluding to? I am talking about brazing extortion of Igbo biz men building houses through things like 'bush entry' and the likes and active encouragement of nyesom woke then..do you know how much extortion that where going on then including those trucks and ' gwongoro' that Igbo biz own?ask any Igbo person you know that lived or lives in obi akpor to tell you what happened under wike

This problem is not exclusive to River Igbos. We do it here in Anambra and anywhere else , we call them tax collectors. Tax collectors are one of the most difficult people to deal with

CreampieAngela:
I beg you in the name of chukwu abiama okike, leave the Middle Belt out of your Biafra bullsh!t. We have our own problems, dont add yours to ours. Dont drag us into your show of shame

No I will not, Igboland exist in Middle belt too. 2 Umu igbo are currently representing their communities in Benue House of Assembly.

asha80:
this statement by kanu shows how funny and silly he thinks..maybe he should find out how his fellow Igbo bizmen and those that were constructing houses suffered when nyesom woke was lg chairman of obi akpor for 8 yrs..so pdp now is no longer product of the same zoo...useless threat

You know El rufai once called Buhari an illiterate economist, now why are the Hausafulani not stoning him to death today?

Mind you if I were a governor today no single illegal structure will be spared. I would rather die or resign than to allow people break the law.

Chiwude:
Nnamdi Kanu is a psychopath, a tribal bigot. He hates the Hausas and Yorubas. He doesn't know anything about international diplomacy. He insults the west, he denigrates the Catholic church. He took a swipe at the Igbo cultural beliefs and appraises his Jewish God Chukwu abiama. He insults Igbo leaders at will. He calls MASSOB traitors. He preaches hates into the psyche of the ever diplomatic and business minded Igbo youths. Here is a man with an intention to give our enemies room to carryout a progrom against our people. A daft illiterate who hasn't learnt a thing from the Biafran war and fails to understand the meaning of freedom fighting. Having a sovereign Biafra is a welcome idea but following sheepishly the path of Psychopath Kanu is disaster in waiting. Let us make use of our head and not our emotions in fighting for what rightly belong to us as a people. We are a majority ethnic group and a people of over 50 million in population, allowing a Kanu to destroy our psyche is foolishness of the highest order. Kanu's aim as well as his paymasters is to destroy what we've toiled to achieve as a people since the civil war.

Yet you guys allowed a man who said worst things to be the leader of this country and is being defended day and Night by Northerners.

A great quote by Nnamdi:
"Any attempt by the hausa Fulani to remove
Nyesom Wike as the governor of Rivers State,Biafra
Army will revolt in the streets of
Portharcourt,Biafrans cannot afford to Loose
Rivers State To Dakuku Peterside who is a product
of the Zoo"


This is the kind of people we need in Igboland,Middlebelt and the South

Notice how the yorubas (PDP and APC yoruba supporters) spoke in unity against the Fulani kidnappers and Eze ndi igbo thing. I bet if it were in Igboland some "Igbos" mostly the APC supporter will somewhow find a way to blame it on their fellow Igbos and spread the propaganda around.

Here is one thing am certain is possible: No one would would say a word if HausaFulani decide today secede from Nigeria. Thesame yoruba bashing you for wanting Biafra will say or do nothing. Thesame Igbo APC bashing you for supporting Nnamdi Kalu will tell you it's within their right to ask for Arewa republic. It will spread like wild fire all over the North,minority Northerners who against the movement will keep silent and hope it doesn't end badly,in the end we will all go our seperate ways without noise.

Keep fighting for One Nigeria while they continue killing and disgarcing you left,Right and center
