Duru1:
I guess the stupidity of most Nigerians does not have a limit. South Korea is 38, 691 sq mi in size while Nigeria is 356,669 sq mi. Can anybody in his/her correct senses begin to compare the advancement and development of South Korea with that of Nigeria? It will be an absurdity in waste of time because there is no advancement or development in Nigeria. One of the reasons Nigeria in particular and Africa in general do not develop is lack of critical thinking. Land mass without development is like Sahara Desert

Given this your "Duru theory of Development" Can I therefore extrapolate that "with development" the bigger state with the bigger population will eventually outperform the tiny little state.

gidgiddy:
This discussion about SW being bigger than the South East is what relevance? Is anyone going to get an award for landmass?

Swizerland is roughly as big as Abia, Enugu and Anambra but Switzerland, with just 8 million people,has a bigger GDP than all of Nigeria


Belgium, with just 10 million people, is roughly the size of the SE. However, Belgium has a larger GDP than Nigeria


Austria is just roughly the size of the SE with just 9 million people. But Austria has a bigger GDP than Nigeria.

So I laugh at people still arguing about landmass as if this is what matters.

But the SE does not have a bigger GDP than any other region in Nigeria.

More statistics: 5 Enugu and 4 Aba will conveniently fit inside Ibadan.

His body his business. . . Can you explain why you filthy, hideous, sub-humans cut up humans like meat for money making purposes?

Of course, his body his business. Perhaps you too will soon sell your own internal organs and your brain too.If you cannot make it to Malaysia don't forget the Libyans are also interested.

Indian police na your friend, see as them snap with the guy like say na family album

Friendly captors. They seem happy to meet one of the developers of Mumbai and New Delhi.

Developing Mumbai since 1845.

Ibo importers of course.

SouthEastFacts:
You control 60% of Nigerian economy? Meaning you control Nigerian oil resources, because Nigerian economy is an oil based one.
How many foreign reserve does SW contribute to our economy?
Sharing poverty through high tax rate which results to high IGR is never a measure of high economic activity.
How many product has SW successfully exported outside this country?
We all know the highest employer of labour in this country is the North. With an adequate tax system in place, though operating in the informal sector, North can produce higher IGR than SW.
If you are looking at Lagos when you said that, sorry, Lagos is not a Yoruba land. There are Igbo, Hausa and ND companies all littered in Lagos.

Yoruba art doesn't even come close to Bini art. So Bini are not rivaling the Yorubas. If you are talking about Ife art, we still have our own Igbo Ukwu Art which is the only art work rivaling Bini art.

Carbon dating shows Igbo Ukwu art to originate around the 9th century, making it the earliest known work of art in the entire country. Before Yorubas know what a bronze is, the Igbos had only casted successfully their first bronze art about 300 years ago.

With or without art, the Hausas boast of the best civilisation in pre-colonial era.

This is the problem when you try to argue with people who doesn't know too much. Oil constitute the major foreign exchange earner for the country but that is not where the economy ends.

If you want to deceive yourself by saying Lagos is not Yorubaland you are free to do so, but please keep me informed when the economic indices are out and Lagos is excluded from the South West.

I never tried to compare Yoruba art with Benin art because both are top notch classics, I was merely pointing out that Your ancestors were busy hunting each other for food with cutlasses when Yoruba and Benin were producing these masterpieces.

You had no worthwhile history or cities or civil organization before the white man, how then are we equal in development?
The first primer for ibo language was written by a Yoruba man, likewise your bible.
A beg, go siddon for potopoto o jare.

Lagos thread again

The apple in the eyes of ipob lunatics.

Alcatraz005:
I thought you had listened to me since yesterday? Stop arguing with igbos online. You would get tired.

Lol, I listened to you my friend but these retards obviously don't know when to stop.

SouthEastFacts:
Does it mean your civilization doesn't grow?

Yorubas can't compete outside Yorubaland. Igbos are not only competing, but electing members into their House of Assembly. They started as Special Assistants, then Commissioners, now Honorable Members, tomorrow Deputy Governor and next Governor.

While Igbos are strategically positioned to produce Governors in SW, in 100 years, SW can't replicate that in the SE. Never! This is real sophistication, not those found on pages of free social media.

They are afraid of traveling because they can't compete outside Yoruba. It is even difficult for them to hold down Lagos to themselves talk more of outside Yoruba. They only Yorubas I know in the SE are tailors in Anambra and beggars in Azikiwe Road, Aba, opposite the Yoruba mosque and Christ the King Catholic Church. There are more of these beggars than Al majiris. The irony is that they hate Christians but begs in front of the biggest church in Aba. In spite of defacing that area, the love of Christ couldn't allow the church authorities to chase them away.

The Hausas are trying more than the SW, with legitimate businesses. Dealing in Agro products and large shops selling textile materials, some are into Keke taxi business in Awka, Anambra.

Op, if you are talking about civilization, the Hausa/Fulanis boasts of the highest pre-colonial civilization. Yoruba pre-colonial civilization are learning where theirs are. Evidences of those civilization are still among us to see.

If our civilization doesn't grow we wouldn't have more than 60% of the nation's economy while you scrounge at the bottom of the pile.
Going by your biotic logic if your region is so developed why can't you stay there? Why do you run in millions to the less developed region? I'm sure you know this will only make sense to people like you who naturally view everything from the upside down.

Let's talk about precolonial civilization if you want to go there. You can find the evidence in the quality of Yoruba works of art which is rivalled only by the Benins in the whole of Africa. Our natural rivals are by far not ibos.

QueenSekxy:
this op is not ashamed to celebrate mediocrity, what a show of shame..so backwardness is a thing to be celebrated..

chai,,dem don mine this one skull oo

Your ancestors were living in huts scattered in the rain forest of iboland when these cities were already populated by civilized Yorubas. There's no competition at all. Ekenedilili Chukwu will still bring ibos to live under these brown roofs tomorrow.

vedd:
London's mayor is a Muslim from Pakistan.

Stop rationalizing your docility.

What is the connection between what you wrote and what I wrote? Did I mention Muslims anywhere in my post? Are Pakistanis Arabs?
I don't like morons to quote me.

GuyWise:
There is a tribe in southern nijuria, they are cowards in nature, they are naturally blessed with evil and wickedness, they oppose every good steps and surpport the evil ones they have never achieved anything in life other than dilapidated building and rusted roof, they are the poorest and always hunts their fellow human being parts to drink with pap, they always lives in their fathers house from childhood till death, they will rather die than witness development.... I didn't call their name but they will come attacking.

They are ibos and like the proverbial child who said his mother will not sleep, he too will not sleep a wink.

horsepower101:
Very soon some will say it's their ancestral land and they built it with their sufferistikashion.

There are billions of Arab money in London and New York and other cities, I haven't heard an Arab make any claims on London.
One building in Eko Atlantic and the inferiority complex is at a fever pitch.

hornyofife:
you are as ignorant as you elders who fed you with false stories..coming to your land particularly Lagos is to explore opportunities there present, it doesn't make the east lesser...there are also people who sell gala and yogurt the the east also who are both easterners and not easterners... by the way those guys are far better off economically than many of your jobless idle youths.. those guys can afford there three square meal, can afford to pay their rent, go on a date with their girlfriends, give to there family members where needed and help friends in need.

Again, it also tells the lack of native intelligence to detect opportunities within your mist...if outsiders are coming to do your job which you should have been doing, if not for vane pride and ego, in your backyard it means the indigenes are either lazy and don't want to work, which has led to high unemployment within your ranks, high crime rate, and most especially jealous and envy especially when you begin to see that gala seller buy his bike which will later proceed to him having a shop to a decent shelter over his head.( the real hustler)

today, if it is not yahoo, it is ritual killing, or omonile or Agbero and playing baba ijebu because yoruba don't want to work anymore, but want easy money...

if you are truly sincere and educated enough, read you submissions again, analyzed it well, check the economic merits and demerits and how it affects your people, then you will know that you only ended up exposing yourselves and insecurities towards the igbos...

there are igbos in the north too,in the south south, in all the west African countries and beyond doing the same thing, does it mean the north and those countries are more developed or more economically prosperous that igboland?

or does the Chinese and Indians presence in Africa mean Africa is better then china and India.... Like the popular saying, you better use your tongue to count your teeth and wake up. Those young boys hustling are the future generation of young igbo men that will end up buying lands in lagos while you are wasting your time mocking them, you can even afford to feed yourself.


finally,
Dont forget, igbos, chinese, Indians, Germans and jews have been listed as the most intelligent races in the world by international scholars....they are called middle minorities.. go and read more about middle minorities or Black Rednecks and White Liberals written by Thomas Sowell who is the world most respected hereditary economics...he is an American, not an afonja grin grin

Races with traits like that of middle minorities are always victims of jealousy and attacks from their neighbours..so your jealousy is well understood

What is the ratio of Chinese leaving China to work in Africa compared with the ratio of ibos leaving iboland to hustle in Yorbaland?
I am always amused when people like you try to twist what is clearly obvious.
There are more opportunities in the Southwest than the east and that is the sole reason why ibos migrate to Yorubaland in droves.
You can try all the gymnastics you can come up with and that fact will still remain.

QueenSekxy:
and the first shall be the last.see the brown roof of 1824 is still in existence..that Ibadan should be labelled a museum. .


Brown roofers association of Nigeria..I hail una

I have to wonder where your ancestors lived in 1824. To have a museum you need relics, how come your forebears left none?

IgboTyphoon:
Land mass is not end all be all. Is yoruba land bigger than Borno? Russia has big land mass, but an economy the size of Italy.

We Igbos are all about Human Resources and technology. We are second to none in this area. And we have recovered from the war and rebuilt massively against all odds and hate for a reason.

The south west as far as we know hold at least 60 percent of the economy of Nigeria, leaving the SE and other regions to share the remaining 40%. What mathematical formula are you using to suggest the SE had a bigger economy than the SW?
The SW is bigger in landmass and economy than the SE period.

Kudos to the Nigerian government. This is what we expect from the government at all times, not only on high profile cases.
As for the Libyan racists, they will reap in abundance what they sowed.

ArchangeLucifer:
Babatunde Kolawole who painted the bus all white".


Afonjas exporting theft nationwide.

Unless he was aware the vehicle was stolen.

That is not Anambra, there are no houses like that in Iboland.
Not only is the roof brown, it is also falling apart.
