Every part of the south east can be on lockdown, nobody cares. Economic activity is going on in the South West and South South

you are in Nigeria, we sef dey our biafra!

Ofodirinwa:
look at the Jonathan ppl were complaining about.
And Tinubu was the one leading the protest. chie

Your Nigerian brethren do not look at such statistics..........they check out your name and origin b4 any other thing! Most Yoruba ronus will sooner be ruled by a chimpanzee b4 an Igbo man rules them!

chiagozien:
Don't be carried away.


Nigeria can't be trusted when it comes to justice for Igbo man , especially when it comes to Biafra struggle

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is on trial and not necessarily the Biafran struggle! The Nigerian judiciary and the much-avowed human rights of Nigeria's democracy are on trial! There is nowhere to hide! Forget the Biafran struggle....Nnamdi Kanu is fighting for your true democratic rights.......such as the right to gather, to protest, to civilly disobey, Nnamdi Kanu is fighting for Nigerians' right to self-defense etc

Gala sellers today....Lagos landlords tomorrow! On a level playing fields .......Igbos will always hold their own levels any day ...anywhere! Na grace ..its not by our might! You want to pursue igbos from Lagos......whatabout Igbos in Abuja,Accra,Angola,America,Bombay,Beirut,Canada,Cote diuvoire,Calabar,,,,Igbos in Johannesburg,Jos,Jigawa etc............You cannot cover the sun with your palms!

Right now , we are begging our Professionals all over the globe to come back home and contribute their immense knowledge( before retirement) for the betterment of our ethnic nation......and they are answering the clarion call!

These are just what Anambra medical professionals are planning in ONLY Anambra o! Other states are doing their stuff too!

Or you think we don't know that Enugu will soon be annexed by the raving Fulani.. The way mosques are springing up everywhere in Enugu is a record on its own... Now very many Emekas are now Abdullahi Usman Osinachi.. Just like Ilorin...

If SE as a region truly have political future ambition, then they should be preparing for the 2039 presidency

The reality on ground is the Coalition can't present Peter Obi as the presidential candidate. Even if he's presented the odds about the current Southern president won't allow him

The south South people are already preparing for the VP position from 2031 with Northern presidency which I don't expect the South East people to drag. Let them just focus on the 2039 election and start making a good foundation.

That's the reality

Yes, we will be prepping for the elections in our own land of the rising sun, BIAFRA! We are not one with you. How can you cohabitate with people who hate you and hate your shadow? No way! It cannot work, na! Begone with you!

The same USA that approved the Israeli destructive bombing of a block of apartments just to kill the Hezbollah leader last year.........the bombing took the lives of 1000 plus residents and maimed hundreds more! Give me a break from American hypocrisy! The USA is a party to the conflict in Ukraine. The war is run by American generals based in Germany. The Americans spy and provide intelligence for Ukraine and scout targets for Ukraine! Russia is not Libya............. Russia does not fight like the Americans....they care less about capturing territory but are patient and methodical in going after their ultimate goal...which is the utter destruction of the opposing army! Go and ask Napoleon with his invading army of 800,000 troops in 1812..........Napoleon escaped narrowly with less than 40,000 surviving soldiers. Hitler invaded Russia with over 5 million soldiers.......only 1 million withdrew from Russia in good order.................. Russia will decimate Ukraine! Putin says he will achieve this goal even if it takes them 10 years! America has bitten off more than it can chew !

mandarin:
The size of all those major cities added together may be like tge size of urban Ibadan or may be just a little more and still below the metropoltam Lagos. I don't think having all the land for real estate is the best and won't encourage that for the Southwest except for two to three cities that may be necessary to relieve Lagos state.

More importantly for cities are their economic structure and sustainability. Having real estates without economic values does not amount to actual developments required of a growing economy.

I think Southeast should watch that type of cornubation that will reserve few places for agriculture and other activities.

However the Igbo has benefitted from Nigeria more, access to huge market, sales approach that rakes in millions with little taxes due to structure system of running largely informal outlets, allocations from federal government which finance infrastructures, contractors, big men access to contracts and investments outside of Southeast( oil and gas, constructions etc) saying all development are private is a joke and flat lie from hell. I think post war reconstructions and federal money play huge roles as part of such developments. Believe you me, other places in Nigeria are also developed; kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Jos etc are developed by Nigerian standard. Stop thinking you are the king of the jungle if you haven't hunted an antelope, be humble.

You obviously have never lived in the southeast, The southeast has Oil and gas........! However, the federal government has not done much in terms of uplifting the southeast......this is the truth!

MufasaLion:
Hadi Sirika and his chorts looted 19bn. Money that could have made a reasonable impact. More reason I always laugh when people are positive about the future of Nigeria.

Hadi Sirika is over 60 and he doesn't even need more than 1bn till he depart this world. Life expectancy in Nigeria is around 59 years and you stole 19bn all for what?

Just as Emefiele stole also. What the he.ck do you need a real estate of over 700 buildings for? You're almost in your grave! This is beyond greed. It's metal illness.

The human beings residing in that space called Nigeria are a wonder, now I know why it was easy for less than 500 Europeans to take captive the whole country, enslave and colonize our greedy behinds for 300 years! We are an empty and vacuous people, a people with no sense of self-dignity but with a whole lot of arrogance and greed, This is also why Nigeria is the number one nation for trafficked people! We can sell our souls and anybody for money! A very useless and hypocritical attitude is common to all tribes in the contraption! We slaughter and sell body parts of innocent people for money........consume feaces for money in the name of yahoo plus, sleep with animals for money ala bestiality.........and our women allow sexually depraved Arabs poo into their mouths for money....ndi ala una be!

While Trump pretends he wants peace, America continues to supply the most advanced armaments to Ukraine..........most people have little or no knowledge of what is at stake in this war.......

America will learn to respect Russia again, Russia will win the war and ultimately sack zelensky from power..........if Russia does not take down Ukraine ...America will never stop!

Stop posting nonsense

I will continue to post my nonsense here o! It is my opinion, and I am entitled to it! Igbo interests first. We have no permanent friends in politics and no permanent enemies, but our interests remain sacrosanct! If supporting APC in the interim will land us projects, so be it! If supporting Labour party and Obi will land us projects,,,so be it! It has never been wise for Ndigbo to pack themselves into one party for decades( PDP) ......did it land us any substantial benefits.......NO!

By the way....if you want us to descend into the online gutters....I am game!

Obi1kenobi:
I don't understand many of you here. Nigeria is a unitary system of government. The Federal government holds most of the power and determines how resources are allocated. Except you have the resources of Lagos or Rivers state, it would be foolish for any state government to make itself an opposition government to the FG. Even in the US, a true federal system where most of the constitutional power and resources are controlled by the constituent states rather than the FG, state governments try to maintain good, cooperative relationships with the Presidency, so they can be favored in Federal projects and investments, disaster relief etc. Especially when you have a man like Trump in the White House who acts like a mafia boss, it's wise not to get on his bad side even as an opposition party governor. It's a very good thing for SE governors to look to build good, harmonious relationships with the Federal government. They can attract projects to benefit the state and tap into ecological funds for erosion control and flooding. That has nothing to do with "selling out" Peter Obi - a man that can't even bring the multiple factions of his Labour Party together. His ambitions cannot be conflated with the needs of Anambra taxpayers.

Ndigbo b'anyi are a very proud, very emotional people who seem determined to broadcast to the world how little we need anybody's alliance and help. Then spend a lot of time crying about how nobody is there to ally with us or help us. It's all very incoherent and symptomatic of belief systems and ideologies built entirely on resentment and hubris.

I agree 1000% ......I do not understand how and when Peter Obi's personal ambition became synonymous with the collective interests of ndigbo in general or anambra in particular! Peter Obi will, of course, make a good president, no doubt, but we must be very pragmatic about Igbo interests too! Personally,y I do not fancy Peter Obis lack of political stamina.........his lack of political astuteness does not seem to have diminished the love people have for him, but he really needs to be very careful and patient with his presidential ambition!

He was unable to lead APGA. Atiku played him in PDP......they have played him out in LP, now the Fulani are set to cage him in PDP again, what happens to his ambition when Tinubu releases Nnamdi Kanu? However, the most critical thing now is for Ndigbo to open their eyes and pressure the southeast governors to ensure that Igbo interests are paramount when the next election of 2027 comes around............ We will support the party that can point to the critical projects they have completed and delivered in Alaigbo! Eyes wey dey cry, dey see road! No emotions here o!

tonychristopher:
The South-East region of Nigeria, home to the Igbo ethnic group, is undergoing one of the most remarkable transformations in the country today. From the hills of Nsukka to the bustling streets of Aba, and even stretching beyond into Delta State, the region is witnessing rapid urbanisation, town-to-town connectivity, and the merging of cities into sprawling, functional conurbations. This unprecedented development is something the rest of Nigeria—especially the South-West—must emulate for balanced national progress.


---

Conurbation: Cities Merging into Mega-Urban Corridors

A defining characteristic of Igbo regional growth is the way multiple towns are organically growing into each other, forming vast urban corridors. A prime example is the Onitsha–Asaba–Igbuzor axis. Onitsha, already a commercial capital with one of Africa’s largest markets, is expanding westward across the Niger River into Asaba—the capital of Delta State. Asaba is rapidly urbanising and attracting both private estates and government institutions. From Asaba, the development continues northward into Igbuzor, a growing town that is benefiting from the economic spillover. In just a few years, this entire stretch is poised to become a single, uninterrupted urban region—one of the first truly cross-state mega cities in Nigeria.

Likewise, in Anambra State, towns like Onitsha, Nkpor, Ogidi, Obosi, Ogbunike, and Awka are forming a conurbation, supported by strong road networks and constant real estate development. In Abia, Aba continues to stretch toward Umuahia, while Owerri in Imo State expands outward to Mbaise, Ngor Okpala, and Orlu.

In Enugu, the capital is urbanising along a corridor that leads to Nsukka, and in Ebonyi, Abakaliki is fast becoming a commercial and administrative hub, drawing in nearby towns like Afikpo, Ishielu, and Onueke.


---

Why the South-East Is Growing So Fast

1. Entrepreneurship and Industry: Cities like Aba, Nnewi, and Onitsha are world-renowned for commerce and manufacturing. Aba is a hub for indigenous industries like footwear and clothing, while Nnewi leads in auto parts and light machinery.


2. Diaspora Investment: Igbo communities abroad are heavily involved in developing their home regions. Estates, schools, hotels, and hospitals in Awka, Enugu, and Asaba are often funded by investments from the diaspora.


3. Community-Driven Development: In towns like Orlu, Nsukka, and Ohafia, locals organise through town unions and development associations to construct roads, schools, and healthcare facilities—without waiting for the government.


4. Strong Educational Base: With institutions like UNN (Nsukka), UNIZIK (Awka), and FUTO (Owerri), the South-East has one of the highest literacy rates in Nigeria. This educated population fuels innovation and local capacity development.


5. Compact, Interconnected Settlements: The short distances between towns—often less than 30 minutes apart—make it easy to move goods, people, and services. This physical closeness is a natural enabler of urban fusion.

Why Other Regions—Especially the South-West—Must Catch Up

The South-West is known for mega cities like Lagos, but its development is largely concentrated and government-reliant. In contrast, the South-East thrives on decentralised, community-led, and diaspora-fueled urbanisation. Here's what the South-West can learn:

Decentralisation: Beyond Lagos and Ibadan, towns like Ogbomosho, Ifo, Owo, and Ado-Ekiti need focused development to distribute growth and reduce migration pressure.

Diaspora Engagement: The Igbo diaspora is more visibly active in building their homeland. Yoruba states can create frameworks to attract and utilise diaspora capital for local development.

Community Empowerment: The South-East's success lies in people-driven development. The South-West can revive community associations and give them a bigger role in development planning.

Intra-regional Integration: The example of Onitsha–Asaba–Igbuzor proves that even across state boundaries, cities can connect seamlessly. The South-West can mirror this by building urban corridors from Lagos to Abeokuta, Ibadan to Ilorin, and beyond.



---

Conclusion

From Onitsha to Awka, Owerri to Orlu, Nsukka to Enugu, and now Asaba to Igbuzor, the South-East is becoming one giant network of thriving urban centres. It is a powerful example of organic, people-driven development. While the federal government remains slow in many areas, the South-East is not waiting—it is building itself, one city and one investment at a time.

Nigeria’s future depends on balanced regional growth. The rest of the country, especially the South-West, must take a cue from the Igbo region’s unmatched pace of urban transformation and begin to replicate it with urgency and purpose.

This is a very apt and Valid observation, but your analysis is not really deep! Growth for growth's sake is not going to help anyone. We do not want the urban squalor associated with Lagos, Mumbai, or even Cairo!

You failed to project the rising youth population that comes with that growth! Do you know how many universities and higher institutions are based in the identified axis.............Agbor-Umunede-igbuzor-asaba-Onitsha/nnewi-Awka-oji-Enugu? The ongoing rehabilitation of Benin/ Asaba road, the construction of the bypass to the second Naija bridge, and the rehabilitation of the Onitsha /Enugu highway will merge these towns into one market! A rail line between Agbor and Enugu will finish work on that axis........It is left to the governors of Delta, Anambra, and Enugu to put on their thinking caps and cooperate regionally to champion the interest of that vibrant axis. Why not cooperate to build a rail line in conjunction with the federal government?
