This makes economic sense!

Guy edit my comment, delete it. U know how some people behave, before they will think its Igbo domination

ScotMisile:
This is quite offensive to citizens of those states, especially when they come across this article.
Is it not important to delete such comments for the security of Igbo people living in this states?

I modified, please delete my part of ur comment

If our people know that land is small for agriculture then let's go into livestock farming.

From cattle to goats to chicken to fish, let's make it become so abundant that we dont have to bank on any region for our supply.

Ask yourself all those yams, rice, etc been shared as palatives by govt during the covid19 where fi u think they were coming from. While our people were busy groaning of hardship people somewhere were busy smiling to the bank

SmartPolician:
Whereas you raised a valid point, I don't agree with the emboldened. Rural-to-urban migration is not caused by land scarcity, NO!

As a matter of fact, you rarely see a household in a village in Igboland without ancestral lands because it didn't cost them anything to acquire lands those days.

Young people just move in search of greener pastures while their parents stay in the village.

Put simply, we have so demonized agriculture in southern Nigeria that most of us see it as poor people's business. True, agriculture is predominantly subsistence here.

However, there's a value reorientation now as a lot of young people are increasingly going into agribusinesses, especially in the South West

Especially in the southwest and north.

I have said it before and I will say it again, the SE might have a small land mass but under Nigeria we do not. If we ad igbos can cone together to reason, why not we join forces together, to not just use our surplus lands for agriculture, but also buy up lands of border states and use it for agriculture.

Some states still have surplus lands we buy them use them as farms, setup the processing factories in the Igbo hinterland and farm the lands as they supply our factories a win win situation

It's a sand beach, sand mining is predominant there.

They need to stop it, it will have serious implications on the ecology of the area.

To me instead of us dredging our own rivers with negative implications, why can't we collabo with the FG, to be given access to be dredging the sand banks along the river Niger.

Free sand with no ecological impacts plus looking at the big picture it would push us into realizing our long time dream of having access to the Atlantic

The major way to encourage farming and real and judicious use of land in IMO state is the govt should tax land owners.

Why would u leave ur land fallow, u are not using it to do anything not building not farming u keep it like that and say this one is for your 5years olds inheritance.

I dont see any problem with that but since u or ur son are not ready to make use of the land, give it to people who are ready to, at least during the course of their cultivating the land they will be able to pay tac to govt.

Stone pitching to commence on Njaba beach mile 8 orlu road in order to selvage the erosion menace

What do u mean by njaba beach mile?

Is it like a beach?

Javierleon:
Instead of one mans house occupying a land section

Ten men house can occupy a land section

The reason I see most for absence of high rises is
1 electric city
2 want to build your own house
3 government is not aiding with laws and policies that focus on land use
They even go ahead to build housing units
4 water to service high floors

If the govt can give that encouragement
And tell people who want to build housing to build it in groups
There will surely be a way to get around it

To me it starts from the govt before private citizens can be focused on, I dont see why alot of govt properties will be covering acres of land. A a high rise, with the last floor been used as parking space, not where after using plots to build the building u then use another plot for parking space.

The mid entire floor would be the hall, while the upper floor is the offices.

Yampotatocarrot:
My brother, when we built on all the lands, there'll be no space for agriculture again o. Look at Anambra state, setting up mega farms while we are just concerned with building mansions with no economic value, as someone rightly pointed out.

Something needs to be done to save land for agriculture

Mansions that u will just live in for just a maximum of 2 weeks a year during Christmas period.

A lot of Igbo villages are fully built with houses and mansions but are deserted, the people living their can't do any reasonable business cause of the low population, OK let then farm they still can't cause of no lands.

Why do u think theres massive emigration

IJEYdiamond:
China... china china... how many times i call u its sad enough that you brought nonsense and rubbish virus that the whole world is suffering from.... with your lies... You dare to challenge uk and Ur chicken boast to USA....!! with your dicatorship style of governance in Hong kong.. Even extending your silly attitude to India..

Excuses:
Yes very big,matter of fact the biggest country in Asia but, it's military is living on past glory,although they retained most of the Soviet military assets but as am talking to you now, most assets are obsolete..

Russia is not in asia

Imagine when u have grown so much that ur former masters become afraid of u.

100years ago china can't try this.

But Nigeria 100years ago we couldnt do shit, 100years later we still can't do shit

newdawn2017:
is it not Igbo etche people, oyigbo, egbema & ndoni people?? They can go with Biafra if they like, they re a very tiny & almost invisible of which u guys will later opress them & call they ohu & waawa people. Their choice. Desist from impossing briafra on d we d SS.

LoL... The fact that u say this you are aready discriminating in the south south itself, u will start with Etche, Obigbo, egbema and ndoni and later shift focus to other Igbo groups.

We igbos will never discriminate against anyone

newdawn2017:
D Igbo tribal people should desist from forcing themselves unto we d minority tribes of d Ss. We do not stand with Biafra pls, it's not by force.

I am Igbo from the south and I can't speak for the south, but u from akwa ibom want to speak from the whole SS, speak for ur ak people.

There are igbos in the SS, so naturally u can't represent them

newdawn2017:
D Igbo tribal people should desist from forcing themselves unto we d minority tribes of d Ss. We do not stand with Biafra pls, it's not by force.

What's the business of me pouring my aggression against the crimes committed by the herdsmen?

Did I mention Biafra at anytime in my post or in the past to make u brand me one?

FYI I am amongst the few igbos against Biafra or any form of restructuring. The status quo is okay all we want is Igbo presidency.

I guess u would brand me for that too

newdawn2017:
No! That's not what I mentioned. That will be horrible of me cos i am just as human as d people of SE. I am saying that be specific about d region my dear.

I should be specific because of what?

I want to learn

Jman24:
Racism is an imagination, doesn't exist. I will open a thread on it by 5pm today on education forum

I will be waiting

So are they saying Kim Oprah is a bunch of useless people

newdawn2017:
My point is mention d East, d SE isn't SS specify next time.

So ur point is if they are killing people in the SE its not the concern of the SS?

newdawn2017:
I am asking because it was d Eastern part of Nigeria being talked about not d south south hence y.

So since it happened in the east what happened?

I am yet to get your point

Jman24:
Like I said.. what makes us members of a forum is to raise superior arguments to counter whatever is being said and not casting aspersions.




Blacks are their own problem!

Stop using the word Black's in this context, its very racist

Jman24:
a threat to the western world, so as to use kanu to destabilize their chances of turning Nigeria to a paradise.

Wao!

Blacks are their own problem!

You are saying let's reason together and this is what u could come up with?

What in the world is this supposed to mean

Jman24:
Let's reason together.
Which Igbo politician will liberate Nigeria? Ekweremadu ? Peter obi? orji uzo kalu? Rochas,? Who exactly.? I would believe your theory if there was a tested and trusted person from the so called Igbo race , a threat to the western world, so as to use kanu to destabilize their chances of turning Nigeria to a paradise.

Wao!

Blacks are their own problem!

Nobody in Nigeria is 100 percent tested ans trusted, everyone has their flaws even Nigeria's greatest saint right now if u decide to try him under a microscope u would find many holes.

I dont know about all those big names u called cause obviously I think u are trying to pass a message. But I am 100% positive that Dave Umahi can deliver.
