Normality:
At least when you want to make mouth about cocoa in the early 20th century, remember Eastern Nigeria was earning huge in Palm production and Coal.

It is a pity! if you have done your research empirically, you would have realized that states like Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, Benin were among the states that have palm oil in abundance up till date.

We had and still have our food and cash crops here.
Which food and cash crops were more profitable than cocoa that other regions do not have then? When you were enjoying cocoa money, it was Nigerian money: but when it comes to oil, it belongs to your region.

However, Oil was discovered in lagos, Ondo, Oyo: if this is coupled with industrialization rate in Lagos and Ogun, don't you think Southwest will sustain? Majority of the countries in the world are living without Oil, so what is the exaggeration?

So stop making it seem as if no one can sustain without your region.

NONSENSE! why is the level of poverty and beggers so high in the south west?.
The Blessed South East have the highest number of middle class families and is the least poor region in Nigeria in the poverty survey by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics.
btw Igbos are the biggest users of Apapa seaport and pay up to 60% of Lagos tax.. Without Igbos, Lagos IGR will drop..
If the rate of poverty is not on high trend in your region, why do you have highest rate of daily influx/migration to lagos. For your information, beggars will always be found most in a place where they have assurance that people will give them better alms.

Get the fact!

Oshogbo Toad, big economy does not translate to high standard of living.
Nigeria economy is bigger than those of UAE, Qatar, Seychelles, Mauritius and Kuwait etc but how are the citizens faring.

The number of beggars in Ibadan alone exceed the number of beggars in the entire Eastern Region combine.
Come to VI and Ikoyi and see your people doing corporate beggars.

And under the current dispensation in Nigeria, the Fulanis are not ripping you off?

Do you know? In texas, USA, the oil on a person's land is theirs, they only need a license to drill and would only need to pay tax to government on what is being drilled. But in 9ja, your oil is for everybody but their cocoa and tomato isn't.

All these words are for you if by chance you happen to be a SSner.
If I am not mistaken, oil was discovered in 1960s. Was it not the same cocoa and tomatoe you stated that was being used to sustain your region before then?

Much as I generally agree with the the OP, I have a few reservations.

Suggesting that we learn to live in Nigeria is not it. On the contrary, Nigeria should learn to accept the Igbos into the Nigerian fold. Since the civil war, we've been more or less treated as outcasts in our supposed country. Despite the Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction mantra, not much has been done in the south east. How many states do the Igbo have as against what others have? Federal presence is virtually non existent in the east. The so-called International airport in Enugu is an obvious joke. Any move to build a sea port in the east is crushed. 2nd Niger bridge nko? There has been a deliberate and studied plan to undermine the south east. U can't keep treating me like a slave and expect me to be happy. Left to me, I would advocate REGIONALISM. Make all man develop at their pace.

Again, if we wanted to split Nigeria, inter-tribal marriages wouldn't have stopped it. Who says you must be in the same country with your inlaws? I have friends with inlaws in Germany, south africa etc.

Nigeria better get her act right. The polity is gradaully boiling.
Why won't others look down on you with your 'better than thou' attitude. Personally, I respect anybody whether my agemate or not, but I can do anything to resist your arrogance belief of superiority. Joe Igbokwe was one of the Fashola's cabinet members, a position which I don't think many lineage has never occupied as a Lagosian.

Until you can tell me what a Yoruba man from Osun living in Lagos is entitled to that no Ibo man from Imo is entitled to, then I have contrary opinion.

lol how many igbo men have you met that are married to yoruba women or fulani women the few that do that are fools and don't know their history. The British never left nigeria they still control this country with neocolonialism and lastly in an igbo republic merit will reign over everything else no one cares if you are from asaba or aba.
"lol how many igbo men have you met that are married to yoruba women or fulani women the few that do that are fools and don't know their history"

This is the most senseless post I have ever read on nairaland; it is characterized by lack of deep mental horizon coupled with ethnic bigotry, naïve & myopic thinking and infinitestimality of brain....

According to Stephen Covey - independent life is good, but inter-dependent life is better: every tribe has its own strengths and weaknesses whether economical, political, intellectually or otherwise. Despite many previous trials, only God knows the reason why we are still united up till date.

Nigeria is one: its unity is non-negotiable. God bless Nigeria, my beloved country.

Every human beings has limitation(s) to what he/she can do at a particular age. Even if you are 10 years old and want to be sincere to yourself, you will realize that is limitation to what you can do?

What is the function of a President than putting the round peg in the round whole, commensurating their responsibilities with authorities without any fear or favour, and performance of any other ceremonial functions as stated in the constitution?

In that context, he said he regretted not being in power earlier than this age after contesting 3-4 time unsuccessfully. In other words, it is like a graduate saying how he wished to have graduated at the age of 23 instead of 30: it doesn't signify that he cannot work, but he preferred it earlier.

When we unanimously voted for a 12 years old Phd holder who hails from Otueke, was there no limit to what he can do? Even God can do all thing, but there are many things He will not do.

God bless Nigeria, my beloved country.

I would advise that you do it in phase - taste the waters before relocating down fully. Come spend like between 3-6 months at a stretch and see if you can cope from the 'withdrawal syndrome' the movement will throw at you.

Like someone commented here, there are lots and lots of people like you ....its no longer automatic that because you schooled abroad you get a job immediately, so be ready for competition.

In coming back, your state and location of residence would determine how long or how soon you many want to run back home grin - If you decide to stay on the Lagos Island (Lekki, VGC area) be ready to cough out millions in rent (depending on your choice of building) or if you stay on the Mainland and work on the Island (where most oil companies are located) be ready to sleep less at night or spend more time in traffic.

Did I hear you studied Chemical Engineering? That means you might want to go to Port Harcourt where the action is? Well good but be ready with your ransom money in an escrow account just in case grin

Don't be discouraged shaaa ....there's the good side too - all those nice nice places you love visiting for fun or eating out, are now here hustling grin - only McDonalds still de form shaa. We have KFC, Dominos Pizza, Nandos you name it. For clothings, you have them here. If you still de feel like 'only bought in US stores' kind off ....we got parcel shipping companies here that can do you the magic grin

The babes grin .....we de shaaaa ....be ready to buy us Moet (osho free ones de shaaa but ...you know na) kiss

All the best man.

Your parents pokenose, agreed. Please stop generalizing on African parents. What is the business of my parents with my salary for God's sake?

If I like, I give: if I don't give, it is not my parent's headache. Though not extremely God has blessed them beyond being broke. I can't even imagine my dad bringing himself so low to that extent: even if he does, he knows the kind of children he has.

There is nothing spiritual in this: this kind of snake is what Yoruba called *paramole* i. e. land-resembling-snake.

It is less poisonous unlike *sooro* the green one, and very suitable inside *ege* -palm kennel soup.
