Contrary to what most of you Nigerians think, the Igbo man is actually a Socialist by default. Suppressing this truth is what is holding the Igbo liberation.

No matter how you put it, an Igbo man doesn't see the sense in the entire resources of a country being owned by few individuals. You can create a thread here and throw it open for the known Igbo handles to reply you.
Why exactly are most Ndigbo against Dangote and Tinubu?
Or Arthur Eze?
Or Orji Uzor Kalu?
Have you asked yourself the ideology that draws them to IPOB?

An Igbo man automatically becomes wary of someone when he knows that he/she has something to do with the common wealth of the society as a private establishment.

My dear you can't tell me more about the same people I breathe the same air with. You Nigerians don't know the Igbo man.

Ur problem is that you use words and phrases u barely know the meaning. So you actually think Socialism and Communism are the same thing.
You falsely think Communalism and Communism are the same. Oga a good Google search will educate you. Igbo societies like most African societies of old are communal. Communism is completely different.
Communism is a failed enterprise that only works on paper and in the heads of pseudo intellectuals.

BKayy:


LOL. Black people.

Your media calls it State Capitalism as a way to make it look as if it was different from what was in Soviet Union but did any of you bother to check what that State Capitalism is?

No matter how they wish to confuse you, State Capitalism is just Communism in an "opponents Jersey". Look at the policies of Russia, especially her reaction during this conflict. Does it look like real capitalism to you.

In discussions like this, one shows how he understands not how he can steer to the direction of media or dogma.
Remember this, there is an Igbo adage that says "ife agwọ mụrụ aghaghị ito ogologo" meaning that what a snake gave birth to is bound to grow long. You can't expect a thesis of Karl Marx to totally deviate from Communism/socialism.

Oh boyy, fringe media propaganda have eaten deep into ur head. Since u don't know what communism or socialism is, no need continuing arguing with you.

jesmond3945:
please tell me what they import? The biggest country in the world rich with natural resources. In 2 months they made 100 billion dollars just from oil alone.

Have u ever used any product made in Russia? Russia is just like Nigeria. There economy is mainly based on extraction of mineral resources. Some of u are dull and arrogant at the same time.

BKayy:
That is if they intend to allow you fix a value for them.

FYI, Russia prepared for everything before hand. For example, plans are ongoing to disconnect from world wide Web so that you people can fool yourselves, to yourselves and by yourselves alone . They did the experiment in 2021 and it was successful.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/07/22/russia-successfully-disconnected-from-world-wide-web-in-tests-rbc-a74581

Pity yourselves and you people in Russia not the citizen. They don't feel shit. Just calm down and watch the awesome power of communism. The West is just suffering herself and expatriates in Russia.

Jeez, the way u arrogantly display ignorance is shocking. Do u actually have any idea what communism is? Russia stopped been communist in 1991/2 when the USSR collapsed. Russia has cut throat currupt business men called OLIGARCHS. Russia is a dictatorship not a communist country.
Wether u like it or not, the current world order is run by the west.

I knew it wont be long before they twist this story to mean something else.

IPOB went to the church to offer gift items, the Priest said he doesn't want them there because the authorities might come after him later. They left peacefully

The Priest didnt have a problem with IPOB, his problem was with the authorities who like to go to where IPOB are gathared or where IPOB have been, to cause unnecessary problems.

Food for thought: What sort of terrorist organisation goes to a Church to offer gift item's?

Story, The Priest is avoiding ndi okwu na uka. A group that uses insults and death threats as a way of life

REALretep:
Russian economy is on a free fall.
Though Russia may now tilt more towards China, however China's foreign policy is ruthless.
Putin is not winning this war...but obviously pride will never let him to back down.
By the time he will be forced down on his knees, his only potent revenge mission is to nuke the US or any of her NATO allies. The US knows this and will definitely start a manhunt for Putin to eliminate him secretly.
We're watching.
It's well with us

The worse is that Russia shares a land border with China. Siberia used to be Chinese and everybody knows that China is eyeing Siberia. Russia won't be able to do Jack when China rolls into a self weakened Russia

sapientia:
They won't even open it

Unless China tells them to

Russia have been absorbed by China

The US and China are the biggest winners in all of these. Russia will now be wholly dependent on a ruthless China.

isi aki, where Nigeria wan sew $15billion. That's like half of next years budget.
IPOB supporters ne zuzukari too much

EastisBae:


Is there any serious business in Nigeria today that does not use a standby generating set? Are you aware that when people use a centralized power generating system they end up paying less individually?

When you a build skyscraper in a CBD like Wetheral road, you will definitely attract big/successful brands, particular those that use light throughout the working hours. For instance, if a company like MTN or bank branches spend 1 million naira monthly on diesel and EEDC, when they share such resources with others, they will leverage economies of scale and end up spending much less!

Another huge advantage is that, such a building will become a melting point of economic activities and any business located there will attract more customers than a similar brand located elsewhere. Someone that wants to go to a bank will rather go to the one located there so they can do other things like going to an eatery, paying their pay TV subscription, or other brands like MTN, GLO etc. without leaving the building. The result? Less stress and less expenses!

You made good points. I think it's left for our economy to create viable reasons for investors to build such. Only the likes of Onitsha, Owerri, Aba ànd Enugu(capital) has the need for it at the moment. The current governors are too local to put anything to work.
We the people too are not serious about politics. You've seen the vote apathy and the foolish excuses like, they will rig the elections so need of voting.

NwaforIgbo:


So you think SE shouldn'e have scrappers?

Anybody who have the resources should build it. But understand that we need constant electricity and water supply b4 skyscrapers. What happens when power is interrupted as we often have? The elevators get hung.

Ofodirinwa:


Do they need skyscrapers or to skyscrapers look good and you want the place to look good. Either answer is fine but I'm saying we have to start thinking in another way as far as development. We get too concerned with looking developed and that's a goal that 9/10 times has failed.

Donald duke started it in our generation what the things he built in random places in Cross Rivers like Ibom Tropicana...nothing.
Now Eco Atlantic is being bought up by people who are on their 3-4th home and don't even live or work in Nigeria.

If there's an argument to be made about adding one to Oguta, It's worth considering but I don't think there is one. All of the towers in Manhattan NY, not one of them was a government project. What made them emerge? The volume of business created a demand to be on that land. The demand made land lords build up. The higher their built the more money they can make. If I build a 20 story in Oguta, will people come? I don't really think do.


Something has to come before it, and that's an increase in the volume of business being done in Oguta, mixed with a reduction in the availability of land. Then people will naturally build up and a smart city that's real will emerge. Not these middle eastern toy cities that don't go anywhere.


I would recommend working with the businesses already in Oguta to see what they need to expand their capacity. Their capacity expands, they need more workers. More workers create more demand for homes. More homes creates more demand for business. When the current availability has reached a peak, people will build something new to house the new challenges. How can you up the capacity of businesses in Oguta

1. Transportation: It has to be easier to move people and goods around in Oguta than other places. Rail, Sea, Land, Air, Digital
2. Modernity: Modern commerce is online. Any Nigerian city with stable internet and light will attract business
3. Comfort: Someone has to feel like they won't be missing anything good about life if they move to Oguta
4. Marketing: People have to know that things have changed in Oguta

These things don't require giant projects and manifestos

Oguta has higher economic potentials than Owerri, but they're not being met because the #1 industry in the east right now is tourism and Owerri has positioned itself to take advantage of that (geography, and the airport did most of the work)




You're not saying something that's not sensible, but I'm offering my ideas as something to consider. 'Big projects' don't work, especially government pretending to be a business.

These is very correct, we Nigerians often love shiny things at the detriment of community needs. A governor who builds flyovers is appreciated more than the one who builds health centers and markets.
Those asking for skyscrapers should understand that it's a byproduct of needs and individuals with the resources to build them.

immortalcrown:

Vandalism increased 100% during EndSARS protest. People like you said the vandalism was by hoodlum, not by the protesters.
But when it comes to ESN and IPOB, you sentimentally remove that logic.

People like me? Say what u know. Vandalism during endsars protests was carried out by both the protesters and opportunists.

When ESN was burning police stations and destroying police posts, releasing hardened criminals, IPOB supporters were busy hailing them and calling them St unknown gunmen.
Now criminals reign free and u guys still can't see why.

immortalcrown:
Oh God!
Sentimentalists are even making the matter worse. Instead of investigating to know the killers operating in the East, sentimentalists are busy accusing IPOB and ESN.

This incident did not happen on a Monday for fools to claim ESN did it because of sit at home.

U guys should stop making stories for esn, all these mindless killings increased 100 folds when esn was formed and even more when Kanu the beast was arrested.

Beremx:
My father’s house at Okporo was nearly set on fire by miscreants whose identity I dunno. The miscreants threatened my dad to come down or else he will be shot.
The miscreants broke the doors of my late uncle’s wife and another aunt of mine. They asked them to produce their male children. My aunties told the miscreants their kids live in Lagos. They left and kept invading people’s houses. I learned a man was shot and his house burned down.


Whoever knows Hope Uzodinjo should tell him Orlu is burning. The incessant killings of youths in Orlu is getting out of hand. The media isn’t carrying the news, who will now speak for the helpless?

Nnamdi Kanu armed youths and thugs to form esn, now many arms are in the wrong hands. IPOB is the worst thing to happen to ndi Igbo after the civil war.

mysticwarrior:
and do you also think all the Ukrainian men prevented for leaving Ukraine because of the war really wants to fligh? There would be compulsory enrollment in active military service as long as a country is still facing the plague of war.

Despite all you have written it is without doubt that the Russian population still overwhelmed the population of Ukraine, if the war continue to linger to a war of attrition the Ukrainian would be at a huge disadvantage.

Let me also remind you that the Russians are well known for war of attrition, operations babarosa was a complete war of attrition and the Russians came out victorious.

Remember the German army was the most powerful Army in Europe then but was conquered by the Russians. Ukraine can not fight the Russians and everyone know this is true.

You mistake the Russians of ww2 as been the same today. Maybe u are not aware that Ukrainians were also part of the USSR that fought Russia. Russia is more populated than Afghanistan but left the country after years of facing a war of attrition. America was far more powerful and populated than Vietnam but were beaten by the Vietnamese war of attrition.
U seem not to fully grasp what a war of attrition is.

Charlesdonald:
too pathetic, igbos we are better than this

No state is useless, all we pray for is a good government. Anambra State is a beauty, Enugu state is so calm to live in, imo is an enjoyment city

Just leave it that way

Seems u are new here, that slowpoke is resident here with many monikers, he's only goal in life is to bring discontent to all igbo threads. Ignore the troll

Please u guys should stop replying those nitwits doing comparisons of igbo states. They are losers who have failed in life.

mysticwarrior:

what exactly are you saying? Russia has a population of about 145million people while Ukraine's population is roughly 41 million.

Russia has more weapons than Ukraine, and the Russian army outnumbered and outgunned the Ukrainian army. Ukraine is no match for Russia in terms of war of Attrition.

And u think the 145million people want to be drafted to fight a useless war? Haven't u seen large protests inside Russia? Moreover, Russia has one the lowest birthrates in the world. Their population is shrinking.

Areola14:
USA, UK, Israel are not natural ally, all are friends because of what they stand to gain from one another.... they watch over one another and ready to go to war for one another...America as a war leader need the support of other nations to remain there.... UK and Israel are small country and can be threatening by any bigger country like Russia and China and other Arab countries are looking for all means to destroy Israel.. but with America they cannot! And America if going to war will surely go with Israel and Britain and France... if not for America, Israel would have been captured long time ago by the Arab because they are surrounded by Arab....

Ur point is correct. But Arabs wouldn't have been able to capture isreal because they(arabs) always had weak militaries. In short, everytime the arabs fought isreal, they did so with full support in equipments and training from the USSR. Meanwhile, the isrealis had veterans from ww1 and ww2 and was aligned with Turkey and Iran at the time.

JOemmy:
Most americans are migrants from britain they are naturally christains who won't love to see the state of isreal to go down that's simply where the alliance is coming from.

The state of isreal is Jewish not Christian, they have more Muslims than Christian. Its all about interests.

HISTORY. they've been through so much sh*t together.
INTERESTS. their interests aligns.

wizonlyson:
..they never see anything..

They still get light and running water, something that's impossible for ur country that's not been invaded

Mystic969:

What's war of attrition

Attrition warfare is the term used to describe the sustained process of wearing down an opponent so as to force their physical collapse through continuous losses in personnel, equipment and supplies or to wear them down to such an extent that their will to fight collapses.

U basically fight on so that ur opponent becomes tired after losing so much time, money and soldiers even though u are losing more lives and properties.
It's exactly what taliban did to the US in Afghanistan.

joyandfaith:

Or Ukraine? I don't understand

Ukraine are the ones waging a war of attrition, they don't have a chance of outright victory, so their only chance is to make the war too expensive in equipments and lives of soldiers for the invading Russia. Vietnam did it to the US, talibans did it to Russia first then America.

joyandfaith:

It is called war of attrition.

Russia doesn't have the population for a war of attrition

0-0 or 1-1

Russia seems not have learnt any lessons from USA's foray into Afghanistan or even in their own Afghanistan invasion of the 80's u can invade a nation but u can't keep it.

Truthisunique2:
what I find funny is that all these anti Western people would die to go to the west than some China and Russia

So my brother it's Stockholm syndrome, they love everything about the western principles but can't exist without that strongman that should put them in check, pains (maybe it makes them appreciate life better since they don't believe it should be too easy like the west simplifies it)

We were allies with west for ages they were helping us develop, but Blackman say Na west be him problem that Chinese truly care

Now communists don abadon us for a relationship we started for just 5years, we even thank God dem never cease our assests

5 years relationship don cast
If u give those west hating muffins Chinese Visas and Western Nation Visas, we both know they will tear the Chinese visa

internationalman:
Remove weaponry from her, Russia is just as good as Nigeria to the world...

Russia is a giant North Korea with natural gas. Putin overplayed his hand, he fell flat inside America's trap. All these people hailing Putin seem to lack understanding of the current world order. Even China that is more powerful is threading carefully.

djevino:



There's no evidence of an airstrike on the ground like holes u know what I mean right? Abi am I missing something?

Not all air strikes create craters, could have been napalm.

Tragic. Some Muslims believe America and the west are the sponsors of terrorism but conveniently ignores radicals and those who happily kill for the prophet.
