I'm sure they go there for economic/financial reasons.
igbos like to do business and yorubas are mostly civil servants.

but yeah, they knew the risk and took it. so what can i say.

ideally though, there shouldn't be violence. so what ought to happen is for us to find out the roots of d violence and try to work at making changes rather than all these tribalistic nonsense i'm reading from especially d igbos. you would think only igbos are victims of post election violence from the way they post.

meanwhile, southerners should refrain from living in d north. the risk is greater than the financial benefit or whatever reason they're going there. it sounds so simple but I wonder why that's not d case. lol

maybe the northerners sef are pissed at southerners for trying to come in to take over their economy. who knows what's pissing them off.

Going by the premise of your write up, you don't make sense at all, it does not even appear as if you have any atom of brain, if some certain people should stay away from a certain part of the country, then what is the sense in keeping the country one, am so sorry for you cowards (awon omo alailaya). the fact that you can keep quiet out of fear when your kinsmen were killed, does  not mean other people people should be doing the same, you ugly coward id, iots are the worst thing that happened to southern Nigeria, bury your tribal marks disfigured faces in shame.

Onlytruth:

That there are Nigerians here questioning this directive speaks volumes.
In any case, the president has spoken!
This policy is even late in my opinion. This should have been the extant policy always.

Tribalism will kill Nigerians.
Look at this "inoki" by the name of Eko-ile almost committing suicide because his country may soon start developing technologically.
Abeg whoever feeds this mountain gorilla (inoki-ile) should withhold food from it for a couple of days to teach him a lesson in basic logic.

The funny thing is that all the anti progress asssholes on this thread are mostly Yorubas, tomorrow if we say they are drawing back, they would blame it on superirity complex.

[quote"since they are made in Nigeria, they are inferior"
"Nigerians shouldn't be in auto manufacturing, we dont have the talent"
"We should stick to things like bronze casting and carpentary, and leave car making to Toyota, Japan and America"
"I am a parastatal, because I work for govt and I don't want a Nigerian car"
"I'm sure GEJ owns Innoson"
"PAN belongs to GEJ"

People could argue about this from now till tomorrow with a straight face but the overall shocking statistics and the demography of the people who are against the President ordering federal parastatals to patronize Nigerian made vehicles on this thread shows an element of bias, I wonder the kind of education people get, well surfice to say that education don't really make you smart if you are not really a smart person, is all in black and white on this thread. vehicle manufacturing is not rocket science is all about cando, automobile in itself, is just a bunch of premeditated concepts made to work in harmony so this issue of leaving it to the Japanese and the Americans is just a display of an astronomical level inferiority complex couple with an unacceptable level of low IQ, you should not bother explaining anything to a bunch of people this obtuse.

Alj Uche:

what a not-so-smart person

Why am I surprised a gworo shewing yellow teeth deluded impostor would have a problems understanding anything not related to nama rearing.

Well I wont be bothered about the many people you know, am going by the statistics here, and that points to a very substantial majority. am sorry I don't mean to condescend you are not smart enought to understand this statement: If you Nigerians knew, and are very sure that there is agreat [size=13pt] distinction between the South East the South South,[/size] with the ferocity with which you hate the Igbos, your push to make the Igbos part of Nigeria at all cost wouldn't be so puissant.

You make it seem as if their is a grand conspiracy. The truth of the matter is the SS has no enemy or friend if they had an enemy, GEJ will not be there today. They are not silly to think any of the majorities are their friends either. All you are witnessing here is politics. Was it not Edwin Clark that said he hates the igbo about 4 months ago?? Now, he loves the igbo.
The SS will secede with either igbos or Yorubas if they want to. But trust me, there is no "future" in what you are saying because the SS do not want to secede. All they want is TRUE FEDERALISM and most if not all of them know that they will not get that in Biafra or Oduduwa republic. Do not thing that the so called SS just comprises of Ijaws alone. There are Itsekiris, Ilajes, Isokos, Igbos, Uknawi*, Anoima, Uhrobos, Edos etc. And you they all will want to follow you to your country Dream on. Well, all this na internet talk sha.

Of course there is a grand conspiracy, and also people has a God given right to have amnesia, Is all about semantics, people can comment even when their statement is not credible, the fact that GEJ is where he is today has a lot of corelation with the fact that the millitants sprang up in the creek of south south and they weren't kidding. the Edwin Clerk thing you mentioned does not do a lot to negate my view that the south south are beginning to wake up infact it does a lot to enervate the statement, people make random outbust, but the shame becomes theirs when they re track, the Igbos are playing the big brother role pretty cool even in face of adversity, hence the support of GEJ. a very large proportion of the South south are Igbos not with standing what ever sub Igbo group name they go with, when the chips are down they would surprise the shyt out of your deluded self. you are right some of  the ethnics group in the SS might not go with the Igbos, those ethnic groups we know already, but that does not mean a hand of friendship should not be extended, and those same ethnic groups their greatest fear is for the Igbos to secede and leave them behind in Nigeria with you Wolves in the South West and the North. We igbos are more interested in Homogeneous nation anyway, and if we succeed in doing that, those ethnics group that would have not  wanted to go with the Igbos would subsequently want a parallel nation of their own.  here is a statement for you to think about: If you Nigerians knew, and are very sure that there is a great distinction between the South East the South South, with the ferocity with which you hate the Igbos, your push to make the Igbos part of Nigeria at all cost wouldn't be so puissant.

The Igbos supporting GEJ is the smartest move ever, it re-enforces the fact  that the Igbos can not bow to the North or the south west, and as a matter of fact the Igbos are thinking beyond Nigeria. If we go contrary they would have played the South South against the South East, which is the only card they 've always used against the Igbos, the art of eating with the demons requires the usage of long cutlery's, The Igbo Obama coming up theory is very simplistic, Obama did not become president because the overall White Americans thinks he is wonderful, he was only used for the purpose of injecting credibility into American Democracy which the George Bush's regime rendered moribund, in the case of Nigeria they can only go for Igbo presidency if they fore see an imminent threat to their one Nigeria cash cow, and the ability of the South East to present this threat parallel with the South South which is already in motion and would have an overwhelming effect  is what determines every thing. This is the beginning of good time for the Igbos, the South South has woken up and known who the enemy is. the relationship between the Northerners, the Northern minorities and the middle belt is nakard, and these things are beginning to vindicates the Igbos and would make the south west (the ever conniving partner} inconsequential, and without no place to run in the foreseeable future.

Okpoko, did you see the topc of this thread before running your stinking mouth here?. Why attack Ndigbo when the thread included Arewa as well. Silly coward, your fear of Boko Haram and jihad has made you all to be one sided in your posts.
A thread starter claimed Arewa and Ndigbo has endorsed Fashola and moments later, the same Ndigbo that endorsed Fashola by his claim was attacked. What sort of imbecility is that?.
The only way you can reconcile the attack and the thread topic is by throwing your hatred on a group. Ka ihere megbu gi na ndi otu gi. Castrated-monkey.

Nwanne are you actualy trying to reason with that retarded neurotic piece of shyt? that would eventually comic suicide, bk.babe is one phucked up nut job.

The rate at which some of you are throwing abusive words at an entire ethnic group is mind burgling, this is unacceptable, mind the way you throw your ethnics rants here and there cause you are dealing with a people that knows you  more that you know yourselves, of course is easy to stay behind a computer and say all whatnot which is very Coward of you lot, experience has shown me that you guys cant even stand before an average Igbo man and talk so what is all the bravado on the internet? you wanted one Nigeria, eat it and shut the phuck up.
