The only thing that grow well in North is onion and groundnuts which other regions produce too.
It's like USA claiming they produce food for the world but their citizens are dying of malnutrition/starvation.
Core northern Nigeria depends on aids from Bill Gates, European Union, Canada, USA, China, and southern Nigeria to survive. There is no way you will be feeding the country and dying of hunger.
The core Northern Nigeria is half desert and unproductive!
you're showing us foreign foreign rice smugglers to prove what point?? Okpoko!! Igbos are parasites!
SimpIyleo: You're a zombie So after quoting me you couldn't still list the food you produce in that Desert regions called Core North? Benue and other Middle Beltern State have a more fertile land, and produce other food.
Same with Northern Igbo Land like Anioma, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and some part of Imo State.
Biafrans didn't die because food stopped coming from the North. This is how you have been brainwashed.
The core North is half desert and unproductive, they didn't and don't have enough food for themselves let alone selling to others.
Many people died because the Cameroonian government that was indirectly controlled by France decided to close their borders after making agreement with England.
No country can be fighting war and still be producing enough foot for her citizens, not even the US.
In both world wars the Europeans blocked water's of each others.
The core north is unproductive when it comes to agriculture.
lol.... See this ipob! Is that what Nnamdi cownu told you Ungrateful parasites!
Benue produce only yam,Nasarawa, Taraba and Niger also produce yam...
North east produce... Rice, beans, groundnut, tomatoes, sugar cane, corn, onions, pepper, potatoes and many other agricultural products
North west produce... Beans, rice, maize, groundnut, yam, fruits of all kind!!
The south east at the other hand don't have fertile land... Your land is muddy and unproductive... Your people are also lazy... They prefer staying in the shop morning till night...
Supan: If dem born Bubu well, let him withdraw all the JTF from Plateau alone and see if they won't wipe you all out in a day.
The way Fulani is continuously creating widows, widowers and orphans among the northern minorities will be the same way they will bring their downfall.
Biafrarep: Why are you so dumb? Are you so dull to the extent you can't decipher that the person you quoted is a northern Christian minority? The other person too said he is from Akwa Ibom yet you guys keep calling him Igbo. Igbos must be a super ethnic group to be everywhere you turn.
Asking what Igbos contribute in Nigeria is one of the most foolish questions I have heard. To start with, can you imagine a Nigeria without Igbos?
Now, let's face facts: 1. Trade and Commerce (Igbos are in control and by virtue of this contribute most of the duties paid at the ports)
2. Services and Transport (Igbos dominate the Nollywood industry, transportation both air and land, Igbos also own lots of indigenous hotels in places like Abuja, Lagos, P.H, etc)
3. Sports and education (Igbos are by far tops in these sectors, you can check the super eagles, cadet teams, Nigerian players in Europe, Basketball, JAMB, WAEC, university enrollment etc.)
4. Human resources (Igbos no doubt have the best human resources in Nigeria, you can check those that ran the economy during the golden years of Nigeria before the civil war, check those that held critical positions during OBJ and GEJ governments, check the names of those that are making Nigeria proud abroad etc.)
5. Solid minerals and Agriculture (peddling lies and half truths can change hard facts. Granted that SE is small geographically, it doesn't mean it is not productive in terms of solid minerals and agriculture, coal, limestone, lignite, rice, palm produce, cassava, yam, vegetables etc. are available in commercial quantities)
6. Remittances (unknown to many, remittances is Nigeria's second highest forex earner after crude sales and we know the people that travel and hustle the most in Nigeria. Remittances are what some countries rely on and Igbos unarguably contribute the most here).
7. Industry (It is laughable that many Nigerians do not understand the industrial demography of Nigeria. Aside having industrial clusters in Nnewi, Onitsha, and Aba that manufacture lots of diverse goods for local use and exports, many do not know that Igbos own more industries in Ogun and Lagos than even the Yorubas. Check the owners of many indigenous industries in these places. Igbos took control of local trade and commerce in Nigeria, and as time went by, they engaged with the Chinese to start establishing the factories locally and this will continue even in the foreseeable future and there is nothing anyone can do about it).
8. Crude oil. (Some argue that Abia and Imo only produce little out but they forgot that these were part of the marginalization Igbos have been complaining about since they lost the civil war. Oil rich communities in Igboland were diabolically carved into Rivers State during state creation. It was so brazen that oil rich Egbema community was divided into two, and one part was carved into Rivers. Secondly Western region has remained as one while Eastern region was divided, most parts of Rivers State are Igbo speaking are we now going to deny that because some abo.kis somewhere decided to adjust our boundry?
9. Banking. (You can check where those that own UBA bank, Zenith Bank, Access bank, Fidelity bank etc come from).
I can go on and on but time and space will not permit me. The fact still remains that Nigeria will go bunkers without the Igbos and we have given so much to Nigeria while gaining so little.
see the rubbish a grown young man just typed...
You go just dey lie?? Igbos own UBA?? For your dream??
You control commerce and trade?? Bloody liar! We are talking about productivity not about hawking Gala! Maybe you control that before but not anymore!
Agriculture!? You're a bloody liar!! Fat liar
Without the north sending food down the east... Na una flesh una go start dey chop!
As am typing now... Anambra has blocked its borders but they're allowing Trailers of food to access the state... They just can't stop our people from entering their states like kings... Or hungervirus will wipe down your region...
Go and stand on the highway and count trailers of agricultural products moving down your region
They ignorantly joined you to fight the Igbos then. But now you are fighting them for their land and they are also fighting you back.
Dem eyes don open. They know you are now the greater evil.
Why are all riots in the north BTW Fulanis vs the minorities?
They hate you pple. Most of them are repenting and forming new alliances.
Paul Unogo has fled for life. Danjuma said he will never have anything together with cows again. Even Gowon knows you are preserving him, only to finish him at last and he is always crying. "Nigeria Prays". Will he be praying if the vampires loved him?
Adamu stop dreaming.
RUGA is far from the reach of those fertile lands of Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, Taraba etc.
Argue with Buhari.
shut up!! Yakubu Gowon my man did a very great job and I love him for that....
Benue people also did well...
Igbos were really dealt with by northern minorities!!
Gowon send millions of your ancestors to their early grave!! Chai
Gowon a Christian minority hero!!
Igbos are hungry for alliances but it's too late!! Even your neighbors south south don reject una tire... Osu people!!
Nobody will join unproductive south ease... Never!!
God bless Yakubu Gawon, God bless TY Danjuma... Slayers of Biafran soldiers
Supan: Allah saved the Fulani from stupidity that year if they had gone ahead with the quit notice. The minorities of the middlebelt and Christians would have shown them pepper.
Be deceiving yourself that Kaduna south were among the so called North youths.
Keep slaughtering the northern minorities. Plateau today, Benue tomorrow, nassarawa, kogi etc. When they will finally revolt, even Usman dan fodio will cry in his grave.
shut up!! Majority of my northern christain friends hate you Igbos with passion... Na them dey deal with your brothers now
You think religion will save you?? People don open eyes... You can't use religion to get support in the north... Una go hear nweee..
Thank God for your fathers that come begging... Crying and pleading on your behalf... Una for see hell!
Amumaigwe: My 12 years old daughter would have been 5 times richer than Dangote if given a quarter of the monopolies and waivers he has enjoyed in Nigeria just because he is from the Muslim North. Why? Because even with all these patronages, being the usual intellectually challenged aboki, he could not even optimize all the opportunities at his disposal. So shut up.
shut up!!! Monopoly over your senses or what?? Dangote is richer than every single igbo man in the world... You can't change fact! Just continue wailing!
The east don't contribute more than any region in Nigeria including the Middle belt!!
80 percent of your people are traders scattered all over the country...
Igbos have no natural resources that contribute to our national pause
You're all just like a parasite, you don't contribute but take....
Apart from Assembling and packaging China products in Aba tell one thing that Igbos produce which Nigerians consume??Nothing
You don't have fertile land for agriculture...
No oil, no fruits, Igbos only stay in shops doing nothing... When talking about contribution they'll hide behind the south south... Claiming south!
Igbos are just traders and thank God other regions are also fully into trading...especially the Hausas who are now gradually taken over in the business Arena...
Dangote alone is richer than the whole Igbos in the world...
Make noise again and I will tell Dangote to buy the entire Igboland and turn it into a piggery!
Nyamuriflathead: This is a thread to have a good laugh. I hear they cry of maginalization. We will need to centralize the whole of Southeast under a colony of Kano... Then after 5yrs of infrastructural uplift by gandollar you all colonies of the Emirate can now be free to have an "independent igbo Republic".
DanArrewa
the south east will never be developed... It's like a course
horsepower102: IgboLand was Destroyed by the british, the backward northerners and their foolish allies. But Look at it today. HARDWORK, PERSEVERANCE, and DETERMINATION brought it back and surpassed other cities.
Abakaliki
Shut up!!! Your region is the most backward region in Nigeria...
Stop showing us dilapidated flyover....
This is your region... Why are developers not developing their region??

Enugu City

Deepfeel: Poverty capital of the world, you people should develop your region and take your 20 million kids off the streets you can't depend on oil from another region forever oil will finish someday
