abagoro: One thing about Nigerians is that we are beclouded with sentiments and enjoy lying to ourselves. If the poster has business in mind, then there are 2 areas of Igboland that are clearly top.

1) The Igbo heartland which starts from Orlu in Imo State and stops at Awka in Anambra State with such towns as Nkwerre, Amaigbo, Orlu, Ideato, Nnewi, Neni, Uga, Akokwa, Umuoji, Okija, Ozubulu,Awka-etiti etc.

And

2) The Northern Abia area which is also known as old Bende. This includes such towns as Abiriba, Igbere, Alayi, Uzuakoli, Ohafia, Arochukwu, Ovim etc.

Pls explain for clarity sake

What is heartland and what criteria did you use to classify orlu akwa axis as Igbo heartland.

GEJ has being proven right

Boko Haram is political

Can someone tell me how come OBJ has BH contact

There is God ooooooooo


No wonder the army handover an armoury to BH by leaving only two soldiers to guard the armoury at gwoza

farem: How would they describe this to us? A reverse tactical maneuver?

Thats it

In short

Reverse gear one

Ikengawo: I'm not talking about government involvement, rather progress w/o government. I knew Nnewi would top the list but Abiriba in Abia is what made me post this thread. A lot of the communities in the Orlu zone are like this as well

If I am correct

One major secret behind their success is the fact that they engaged in micro-financing of long term low interest loans which is direct opposite of modern micro-financing.

This leads to financial empowerment of individuals which instills the spirit of socio-economic responsibility in them.

Eg Imagine loaning a guy 500 000 loan to be paying 20 000 every month for 3yrs. If the guy do make a profit after expenses like rent and tax of at least 70 000 every month of which he pays his 20 000 loan interest.

If that loan gets that guy out of poverty do you think he won't help others

My advice to Igbos

Let's support community base non collateral long term low interest loans to financially empower ourselves. Then it will be easy for our people to play their role in community development

Any community group that fails to engage in micro-financing has not started community revolution.

meforyou1: yea, okorocha should provide the basic amenities and the communities will do their best. In my village, every male member is taxed biannually for grading of the roads in Easter and Xmas. We have been contributing money since 20 years ago to buy poles and get electricity for d village. Is that what we should be doing? Isn't it the work of govt to provide basic amenities?

You guys can reduce the burden by investing in profitable ventures whose profits will be used to build and maintain infrastructure.

superstar1: The world was not informed that GEJ, Ebele has turned to a y1boman by proxy!!!!

What is the correlation between GEJ and Igbo slaves.

He is the new master who stole us from you guys

Why not kill him and see whether we will fight for our new master

That is a part of your post

meforyou1: are u sure u read my post well?

How can you find a progressive community in imo when okorocha is chopping all the money and doesn't provide basic amenities like roads, light and water? TA Orji same.

Compare it with this to see if everything must be govt

Sunnybobo3: Most of the roads in Awka Etiti are tarred by individuals.

Igbo communities that uphold the spirit of helping each other tend to progress faster than those where individuals care for themselves only


Nnewi is good at helping themselves

Mbaise, orlu zone, some part of Abia if am correct Bende side.

meforyou1: Op, you can mostly find such communities in anambra and enugu states. How can you find a progressive community in imo when okorocha is chopping all the money and doesn't provide basic amenities like roads, light and water? TA Orji same. Haven't been to Ebonyi but ebonyi communities are too rural to be termed progressives.

They are talking of community group development you are talking of govt

Individual zeal coupled with common community zeal to industrialize made Nnewi what it is today

So don't bring the issue of govt here

We want an economy that we can live comfortable in. Not big economy filled with hopelessness.

superstar1: We have dealt with them before at Ore and we shall repeat it, if need be.

As for Ilorin, we control the political power and that is where the power lies. Can that be said of Port Harcourt and all the Rumus? Liberate yourself from the minority ethnic groups oppressing and subjugating you, before you even think of taking your freedom from the major ones. Lol.

Pls prove your mastership 2015 election by plotting a coup when GEJ is declared winner

After killing GEJ, call the Igbos slaves and attack them

If it is true

I will say to him


Poverty is not far away


Guys like him should be investing in reasonable businesses

He won't reign forever

superstar1: Incomprehensible

If your slaves insult you take up your arms and go to war against them

Just like the hutus called the tutsi cockroaches b4 rwanda genocide, you can start it to prove your mastership.

Its not late to start

I forgot

Maybe after killing Igbos, you can then proceed to liberate Ilorin

Ojukwu stood by the Igbos

Zik abandoned the Igbos

Ojukwu worked to re-unite his people with their good neighbours

Zik destroyed the friendship Igbos built over centuries with their neighbours

Ojukwu is more stable

Zik easily abandon his struggle

He is doing it to rig for his second term or presidential ambition

The fact is

2015 we will vote him out once APGA or PDP present an economic/financial guru as Governor

superstar1: Re-uniting whom? or conquering you and making you our war booty.

You remain the slaves and we the masters.

You are working in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, even sambisa forest, to develop the economies of other regions. You are paying for your years of stup1dity of wasting our scarce resources of then.

They always think they are smart, dubious people. They killed leaders of others and Angel Michael protected theirs. Others have been seeing through your folly from time immemorial and unfortunately, the younger generation are making the same mistake your chestbeating forefathers made.

Why then do you complain that they insulted you

As a so called master why not plot a coup against GEJ and call them slaves on national tv and then deploy yourselves in battle formation

At least BH do call Christians infidels to kill which they do

Yorubas like you can start it

superstar1: Thank you. The Foreigners are not as rude as a verb like your people, that lack respect for others.

Businessmen are permitted to travel to make profit, but with respect accorded to others. It is your own businessmen that will abuse south south for being lazy, Yorubas -- they can't compete (whatever that jargon means), northerners are parasites.

Can't you see that you these people have serious complex?

That is the cross you guys will pay for re-uniting them to yourselves against their wish in 1970

Its like marriage

A man must treat his wife well because he is the one who went to seek her hand in marriage

superstar1: Who begged y1bos to come back to Lagos?

They came back out of starvation that hit them in alaigbo. Have you forgotten?

What you imply is that the Chinese Americans Europeans Asians who are in Nigeria and Africa do so because their nations are poor

Business men will always travel to make profit

Don't forget that our oil revenue is shared nation wide

superstar1: So because knowledge is power, you should not pay the necessary tax payable for such?

If you have engaged in any teaching work, you will see the need to make information available at no cost

Today

I wish our network providers supply unlimited data at 500 naira and technologists develop phones that are mini-projectors to help teachers show real and animated videos of things being taught eg Imagine teaching kids with real and animated video of the respiratory system in motion. That video will speak more volumes than words

omololu2020: forget abt all dis i heard on tv stuff,,i do stay wit my friend in ijebu ode atyms,n hav neva heard or seen kiost owner payin 4k,,so if u dont have a source i wont bliv ur story

I pray the story is not true

Maybe the person exaggerated

But it might be possible it was and still on the high side

superstar1: So who was left in Lagos, when y1bos ran away. Have u forgotten?

The economy of Lagos nose dive

The remaining businesses were making few sales because the market population reduced

superstar1: Did you confirmed that they pay that much. There is no where they are paying that, you can verify your claim.

TV and Radio taxes are permissible under taxes allowed in Nigeria, so what is big deal?

In this age of information, where knowledge outside your field of study can help make life comfortable for you, the govt should be encouraging people to acquire more knowledge not discouraging them through tax

Remember

If you are not informed you are deformed

Knowledge is Power

omololu2020: show me ur source,i need to know were and how u got ur information

Is an info I heard on TV which I found difficult to believe because to me it is madness and wickedness

omololu2020: anybody dat own a kiosk and cant pay 400naira as monthly tax to move to d south east,z not a most for any1 to sell in ogun state

I said 4000 naira not 400 naira

omololu2020: name one igbo man dat z as rich as adenuga

Ibeto

tonychristopher: the way they reason baffles me, how can people be so stupid and docile that strangers will come and be maiking money, is it when they go that they can make money.

i never knew they can be ths xenophobic

Most who never saw June 12 failed to understand that if non yorubas leave Lagos, the city will fall

valicious1: I'm stating the obvious truth! Go to owerri and see for yourself.

Abagworo won't understand


Thanks for stating fact

Late Mbakwe performed better even with the knowledge of the 1980s
