Anambra does not need an airport. The ones in Enugu, Asaba and Owerri are under-utilized. Remove the traffic at bridge head, from Asaba airport to Onitsha is less than 60 minutes.

Bros I stay uratta by express. I hard several gun shots last night too. But telling me that Army killed over 16 ipob guys is a big lie

smallsmall:
Nooo, those 16 executed humans are from Pluto, as in Aliens!
Let them be fooling each other while they keep getting Igbo Men killed,

MikeBetty:
are you from Imo state? if yes which LGA?

Fejoku:
The OP is a fulani terrorist whose aim is typical of all fulanis- dividing a people so they can weaken them. You can see how Juliusmalema is nearby to respond to them in a manner that creates an environment of argument between Igbo states. That's their intention. We must always expose them and show how foolish they can be. All Biafrans stand together in everything till we all get free together.

Gbam iji ya.
The also replace Z with S. Like 'sise' for 'size'.

No you are inconsequential fellow. You are not a stakeholder among igbo.

Efewestern:
The NITEL analogy doesn't suit our discussion, I'm not against private companies taking over incompetent government owned companies, I'm only against us importing more than 90% of the goods consumed by Nigerians.

Every developed nation in this world practices one form of protectionism or the other, years back, the Canadian government applied quotas and a 25% tariff on steel imports from China and other countries to avoid becoming a dumping ground, the almighty US has tightening tariffs for Sugar and some other commodities so as to protect local farmers/manufacturers etc.

Efewestern:
You talked about comparative advantage, please as a Nigerian, can you tell me what comparative advantage we have over India or China? Even in the petroleum sector, we are no match.

Efewestern:
Are you really asking why dollar kept soaring high? For a trained economists, you ought to know the price of crude almost crashed our economy... That was possible because of bad leadership that depended solely on crude export to fund the economy without improving on other sectors.

Efewestern:
So what exactly are we producing?



It is unrealistic for a nation to produce 90% of what they consume, what we are saying is that should at least produce 30% of locally consumed goods

Efewestern:
You create jobs by building companies. The service, manufacturing and knowledge sector are all needed to create a stable economy, one shouldn't be substituted for the other.

China, US, India, Canada are applying these and they are fairing okay

What exactly was Ojukwu thinking?


That was the letter that Ojukwu wrote to Banjo in the Warfront at Ore that helped Banjo to see very clearly that Ojukwu was doing an Afonja on him

I have included the rest of Ojukwu’s letter so you can see the effrontery of the man with your own 2 eyes and his real reasons for invading Yorubaland.

Gen. Odumegwu Ojukwu's Letter in 1967 To Col. Victor Banjo on the quest to liberate yoruba land from hausa and fulani occupation.

Gen. Odumegwu Ojukwu

22nd AUGUST 1967,
From: The Military Governor,
Republic of Biafra Enugu,
22nd August, 1967.

My dear Victor,

1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria.

It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army takeover in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree, the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools, the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas. We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

2. Sharing our belief that the people of Yorubaland have a right to live a life of equality and self-respect and justice free of domination and dictatorship from any quarter, you have both identified with the cause of the Biafra struggle for survival and expressed your determination to see the people of Yorubaland freed from Hausa/Fulani domination. We, the people of Biafra, for our part are willing and have decided to give you and the people of Yorubaland every assistance to achieve your aim.

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation of Yorubaland on the following clear conditions:-


(i) You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.
(ii) The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whatever
imply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.

(iii) Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened.
(iv) Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.
(v) On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.

(vi) The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.
(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.
(viii) Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.
(ix) As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:
(a) the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;
(b) the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.

4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, that all subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by you in writing.

6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.

Yours very sincerely,
signed Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,
Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

Col. Victor Banjo

Interpretation: Yorubas can not take any Political or Legal decisions in Yorubaland including Lagos without Ojukwu first giving them Permission in writing


Ojukwu was a very very arrogant man .
That more than anything else was responsible for his Calamitous failures and downfall as a leader.
He didn’t even know where to start from..


So he wanted to be fully in Charge of dictating to Yorubas what to do in Yorubaland including Lagos ?


Very shameful isn’t it ?

I'm talking about my people, my friendsthatI very well know not ghost, bro. This rice farming is the best thing that bring money now in 3 month only.

chamboy:
so much misleading information just like the church and Anglo-Saxon Educational system. You totally spilled rubbish on here. Total Rubbish

Efewestern:
So a trained Economist is okay with Nigeria's import dependent nature? Don't you know how many industries have died due to importation and the fact that we can't compete with the Chinese and Indians?

Efewestern:
You all should stop throwing grammar and face reality, there is no nation in this world that imports 90% of what they consume and still progresses, if I'm lying, list two.

Efewestern:
We must learn to balance import and export, not advising us to continue with massive importation. THINK!!!!!!!!!!

I told Mazi not to abuse the Yorubas and other ethnicity in 2017 and he banned me on twitter.

“In order not to be caught in the crossfire, we are avoiding the farms for now. When the Fulani have been sent away, everyone will return. Since the Rivers State government and the security agencies do not want to be responsible, we have no option but to rely on the ESN,” the source stated.

Coronabirus:
Northern poverty index has much to do with high population but Northerners have more employable chances than any region in Nigeria with Agriculture as the major employer of labour.
I can't be so dumb to always read research made on social media instead of collecting actual data.

chamboy:
Oga, economic liberation, are you even serious. That means what?? Please don't even use some made up Anglo-Saxon words that has no action backing it.
