Obi1kenobi:
I would say that pretty much confirms my point. The Lagos ports overwhelmingly handle the imports. Over three-quarters of imports and close to 80% in one of the quarters. It doesn't change my initial perception which is that Lagos handles most of the consumer items imports, which is why many Nigerians who want to import have to do it through Lagos. I'm guessing crude export accounts for most of the traffic of Onne and Rivers ports.

And it's expensive.

Nigeria was once the largest producers of palm oil, now it comes in at a distant third (only 3% of the world production in 2010 vs Indonesia's 45% in the same year), however the uses for palm oil have diversified used in everything from food to electronics to fuel and electricity. One of Nigeria's biggest palm oil manufacturers companies, Presco, based in Benin City, grew significantly last year with an outlook for the next four years being a 10 percent annual profit growth*, as well as the rest of the industry, due to the central bank blocking foreign exchange on the industry and subsequently importation.

"Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet. According to the World Wildlife Fund, an estimated 50 percent of packaged products sold in supermarkets contain some of the ubiquitous oil." - Boston Globe

"Palm oil is an essential ingredient for Nigerian cuisine, and is also used in household goods like soap." - BBC

*(According to Managing Director Felix Nwabuko)

These are the largest oil producing states and states with the largest area under palm oil production in Nigeria:

Igbo West Africa will win.

nrexzy:
Abeg what relationship do igbos and Jews have aside what Mr kanu claims?

Nothing.

aribisala0:
So Jews are superior orJewishness is superiority?

This is their reasoning, this is why they want to be Jews because they want to be white because they believe whites are superior.

dare2win:
THIS IS THE WEBSITE OF THE INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT OF JEWISH VOICE, RABBI JONATHAN BERNIS CONFIRMING THAT IGBOS ARE JEWS, PLS OPEN IT FOR YOURSELF: https://www.jewishvoice.org/learn/here-brief-summary-groups-whom-were-connected

WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FULL OF LIES, OPEN THIS LINK AND SEE THAT IGBOS ARE JEWS AND THAT THEY EVEN HAVE THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES AS EARLY AS 9TH CENTURY AD.

"The Igbo are said to have migrated from Syria, Portugal and Libya into West Africa after the Assyrian army deported them."

Is this how badly you want to be a Jew, when people will say you are the bastard offspring of Portuguese, Syrian and Libyan Jews? It's a pity.

Bagehot:
Sigh. Here we go again.

It's not by force to comment, notice me.

I don't understand why people can't understand that things like origin of a people is a messy and delicate matter that cannot be approached with conjecture and random theories. Igbo people are neither wondering Israeli's neither are they Bantu. Let's exercise caution now that the Jews have come out and revealed the flaws in some widely believed Igbo origin theories.

Obi1kenobi:
You're being a tad pedantic. Bantus is used in widely inclusive form to include Africans of Niger-Congo stock. West Africa is also the ancestral home of Bantus even though they're found across East, Central and Southern Africa.

There are no Bantu's in west Africa, there are semi-Bantus in Nigeria, the Tiv and Ejagham. Their homeland is roughly around the Tivi area.

I just knew it would be Igboland.

Amarabae:
Research more pls.
The white man can't determine who is who in Africa.
I will write a thread with evidence about the bantu link.
The Volta Niger means languages that were identified near River Niger.

Well, before the white man there was nothing like Bantu, it is a linguistic term that has become an identity over time. Chasing the Bantu classification is only a little less pointless than the Israeli one.

Opakan2:
I sense inferiority complex here..
You igbos exhibit that a lot.

BTW why will you have history when you don't regard your elders there, you pick money over respect and tradition... ndo for una o

All Africans have some sort of inferiority complex, that's the reason why Orisha are loved in Brazil and Cuba and rebuked in today's Yorubaland. None of the current Yoruba leadership can be said to pick respect and tradition over money, not Tinubu, not Fashola, not even older leaders.

Amarabae:
Related? How.
We are not related pls.
I will travel down to oyigbo later to get an ancient history book about Igbos.
My grandfather was a literate historian.
Igbos have a strong relationship with Bantus in Ancestry.

Bantu is a specific language group that was identified by linguists, the Igbo language is not classed as a Bantu language, it is a Volta–Niger language which is related to Yoruba, Edo, and some other languages like Igala.

Opakan2:
you're no longer jews abi? It's Yoruba you want to claim now.. continue

Don't be silly, Yoruba people often claimed Oduduwa to have come from Mecca, there are all sorts of theories for the origin of people, and the Igbo aren't the first or last to have a minority that believes they come from some distant place.

However, the Igbo and Yoruba languages are related and have a common origin, so if the Igbo are lost, so also are the Yoruba.

Obi1kenobi:
These cursed efulefus are sick. Honestly. Really sick people. "Don't lose hope" that you're not Jews. Was your inquiry about true intellectual curiosity about your roots, or were you just looking to confirm a myth that anyone with common sense, and a grasp of history, geography and science, would have known was always a highly spurious claim? All so you can boost your worthless self-esteem than you are from some ancient, glorious heritage of "chosen people"?

I've said a lot that this is one specific issue that arouses anger in me because the antics of these cretins who have no self-awareness or shame while parading their ignorance reflect badly on us and they drag our name in the mud and make us a laughingstock. How insecure and how much of an inferiority complex do you have to have to forcefully attach yourselves and appropriate the heritage of an alien people?
Tufia.:spits:

It's ignorance. Thankfully, the Jews are rejecting them so they will be pressed to rewire their thinking, more education on Igbo history and culture should be spread.

Opakan2:
When a tribe has no history, what do you expect?

They'll fall for any trash anyone tells them.. Compared with Yorubas, we have our history of Oduduwa, Oranmiyan and co.. we have warriors that fought battles like Alaafin of Oyo, Lagelu of old Ibadan, Timi of Ede, Oluyole and co.

#Proudly Odua

Well, the Igbo and Yoruba languages are related, so if the Igbo have no history of origin, the same is for Yoruba.

Lemba Jews have been revealed to not be Jews.

Good for him. Rich men are worshipped as god in Igboland.

This is just a waste of time.

No aristo's there, you know many people in government hire call boys. Rich people do not get affected by things like this.

colossus91:
i didnt see bobrisky so d list is nt complete abeg free them.....but my love for pussy knows no bounds sha

Bobrisky is not poor and he is popular, therefore he will not be there. This is just further excuse to lock poor people up.

Virgohills:
she go soon old

And probably still wealthier and more relevant than people calling her old.

Please, somebody take her out of that country.

F u c k the Caliphate.

Congratulations dear.

Nigerians are so simple to manipulate and push their buttons, they're like...

So many hardworking fraudsters abroad.

One side of Nigeria have cornered the fraud business, while the other owns the drug business. Industrious Nigerians! And they wonder why Nigeria is a dirty word.

darioNaharis:
How does he poo??

Sometimes I wonder how God feels watching and these and just sitting on the throne waiting for us to die and come and praise him for eternity

Didn't 'God' create him?

priceaction:
what have they benefitted us in the long run ( i mean the so called 4 billionaires)?
Dangote= monopoly
otedola= subsidy scam and alleged manipulations
Adenuga= robbing Peter to pay paul, poor network to rip us off
Alakija= that one? fashion parade.

Nigeria needs a level playing field for all, but here? transparency is a curse, so only a few rip us off.

And they're not even like the South Korean oligarchs (chaebol) who add value and produce diverse exports things efficiently.

grandstar:
Is her father into anything illegit? Is her father really a monopolist as others also import ?

We should stop tagging everyone has corrupt especially when we have no evidence.

Chai, Nigerians, Nigerians, Nigerians, 1 week memory is what is killing the country.

ultron12345:
Na jealousy, hatred and envy go kill dis one.

It's no longer dangote, it's now femi otedola who is a monopolist, is he the only one importing diesel into NIGERIa, is he the only one operating chain of fuel stations in Nigeria .......be there deceiving urself, don't go and work hard

Don't forget to attach your number and address to this comment so you are sure to receive Otedola's free rice for sycophants.

LastMumu:
That is not monopoly, go back to your secondary school books and read up what monopoly really entails. Forte Oil plc isn't the only oil marketing company operating in Nigeria, heck Forte isn't even among the top 3.

"Femi Otedola
Zenon Petroleum and Gas
The diesel prince. The reasons behind Femi Otedola's astonishingly swift rise from relative anonymity to a position where his company, Zenon Petroleum and Gas enjoyed a near monopoly on Nigeria's lucrative market in diesel have attracted interest and speculation in equal measure."

Go and pay FT's school fees first.

LastMumu:
Do you even know what monopoly means?

Shooting down other business and securing government contracts under an authoritarian state.
