WHAT IGBOS DO IN OTHER PLACES IS MAINLY PETTY BUYING AND SELLING. IT IS RUBBISH COMPARED WITH WHAT THEY CAN DO IN AN IGBO COUNTRY IF THEY ACTUALLY CONTROL THE ECONOMY. YOU GET WHAT YOU COMPLAIN OF AUTOMATICALLY BUT IF YOU REFUSE WHILE THINKING YOU MUST BE LAGOS OR KANO GOVERNOR, THEN YOU ARE ON A LONG THING O!. YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL YOUR LAND! ANY IGBO MAN HOLDING POST IN HAUSA LAND IS THEIR SERVANT THERE! SAME APPLIES TO OTHERS LIKE YORUBA AND ETC, URHOBO, IGALA. SEEK TO CONTROL YOUR ANCESTRAL LANDS!. |
Ugosample:what about inter ethnic clashes? Killing people on their own ancestral land by foreigners? How do you solve that? What about disappearing languages and cultures? What about national id? |
Ugosample:I BELIEVE IN TOTAL DISINTEGRATION JUST LIKE THE CIA AND LIKE THOSE WHO QUICKLY FORGAVE NIGERIA'S DEBT DURING OBJ'S PRESIDENCY. THERE IS NO ETHNIC GROUP THAT CAN NOT STAND ALONE AND IF THEY STAND WITH OTHERS, IT MUST BE WILLINGLY. I WANT THE YORUBA SPHERE OF WEST AFRICA TO FORM A NATION DELINEATED INTO TRADITIONAL STATES. I BELIEVE A NATION LIKE BARIBA WILL WANT TO BE PART OF THE YORUBA SPHERE WITH ALL THEIR LANDS IN NIGERIA AND BENIN REPUBLIC TOGETHER AS ONE STATE. HAUSA SHOULD MERGE WITH SW NIGER. JUST REARRANGE EVERYTHING INTO TRUE NATIONS AND SEE AS DEVELOPMENT ROARS INTO LIFE. THE IGBOS CAN SEEK ALLIGNMENT WITH EASTERN IJAW, CALABAR AND ETC FOR NUMBERS. I BELIEVE TOGO AND BENIN WILL HAPPILY JOIN THE YORUBA WEST AFRICA. A NATION SHOULD TAKE ALL INCOME TAX IN ITS TERRITORY. I DONT WANT TO PREEMPT HOW SOME ETHNIC NATIONS WILL ALLIGN BUT NO NATION IS TOO SMALL TO BE SOVEREIGN. THEY CAN ONLY BE TOO SMALL TO BE A MEMBER OF A RESTRUCTURED UN. |
Ugosample:You are wrong as there are many models. In the old USSR. regional army divisions were staffed by locals, it was part reason the USSR broke up without incidence. Then in the first republic of Nigeria, the regions controlled their police, they had their IGs. When Biafra was declared, the Yoruba managed to compel the Feds to return all soldiers to their region which they did, the Northerners were stationed in Ilorin, then the Biafrans invaded the West. So the system we practice now wasnt agreed upon by us and if we return to the old system, the country will breakup within six months without incidence. This isnt a country anymore. So better sit up. One thing to know is that even in a Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa country, you can't just mix everything together! There will be fights if you do that! You might say why not reorganise Nigeria then? But on what basis? There should be a tangible basis for something. |
Duru1:i was not born then. Which division, led by whom, set out from where attacked Bonny?. You need to be clear because I know Col David Ejoor did not allow the Feds to fight on MW land as Chief Awo too did not allow attacks launched from the West. So which books are you talking about? You need to put yourself in people's shoes before blaming them. God forbid that Yorubas be colonised by Igbos!. |
Ugosample:Ok let me put it another way, if there is restructuring would you like the Igbo region to control its police and army divisions or not? Police totally controlled and well armed while army is staffed with and commanded by indigenes? Or would you like central control? |
Ugosample:i asked a simple question. Your con federation, do you want it to have Igbo land staffed with Hausa police and soldiers or not? |
Ugosample:Yes of course they do even if only matrilineally. You belong to your mother's family equally but then even if they dont, all humans are thesame! They are Americans and America is a child of Britain not of Germany, France and etc. Please all humans are thesame. They are not Europeans please. They are Americans which makes them British before anything else. |
Ugosample:which is why I ask if you support all military and police relocating to their region in your restructuring or you prefer Hausa police to be manning Igbo land. Which one do you prefer? |
Ugosample:The largest ethnicity in the US is Celtic of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland followed by Germans, then others but the country is owned by the Celtic culture. No multiculturalism. They speak English which is the property of Celts. So dont deceive yourself. Almost all US Presidents trace their ancestry to the British isles including the present President. For decorum, a culture must dominate. Others must bow. No two captains in a ship!. |
Ugosample:You miss the point. One culture is dominant in the USA. State funded education is English based. Their ties are with the UK. They were a post of Britain and majority of them descended from Britain and Ireland. In your Biafra will be Yoruba people. Infact the Obi Onitsha is a Yoruba descent man but now Igbo and etc. That is how it is. Dominate your sphere! Now, this restructuring you mentioned, what about police and soldiers? The main thing is let non Yoruba soldiers and police leave Yoruba land as part of your restructuring. Do you like that? If you dont, you must be evil. |
Duru1:Your comment implies you are an idiot. If you declare your Biafra and move your army into Yoruba territory again, then you will have yourself to blame again of course! Because you will be pursued like a fowl and blockaded until you beg for mercy! This is what you need to understand. |
blues2022:If Biafra had not invaded the Midwest and West, there would have been a PH Ikwerre division in Biafra today. So there is no issue of being fraudulently carved out and Asaba was never in Biafra. Those are the two major Igbo cities outside the SE. Asaba has no issue. They are ok with Biafra. Only Ikwerre has issues and the land is Ikwerre land just like Ijesa or Ife land is Ijesa or Ife respectively! Dont let them be insulting you! Just tell them to be a separate country if they want but negotiate an agreement of no import or export tariff with them with UN witnesses. They can even grant an Igbo owned company a cargo handling license at their port. The Ikwerres believe the SE Igbos want revenge. So put yourself in their shoes! Later in the future, they mat agree to join but take what you have now and run with it. At least 150 embassies will open in an Igbo country, at 100 staff each, that is 15,000. Glo, MTN, Airtel will open offices, you have your army and police and etc, you control your market and you have a base. You gain a lot! Again, no land is really under dispute in Nigeria. There is native sovereignty, land have owners!. |
blues2022:Igbos lynch Hausas in the East too. Yorubas had killed Hausas, Ijaws in the West. Hausas had killed Igbos, Yorubas, Northern Christians, Southern minorities in the North. If Hausas had their own country, their police would have sorted the issue!. Not only Igbos face such issues. All face it in Nigeria. It is an antichrist government. A multiculturalism. A breakup would solve it. Only people who dont argue with Hausas will settle in their land. Ditto for others! Just some adjustment. There is no basis for Nigerian unity and if the Igbos had handled their secessionist bid well, it would have succeeded but they bungled it!. Everybody is suspicious of the other! Even the smaller groups apart from the trio of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo. No basis for the nation Nigeria. |
blues2022:WHAT REALITIES? IPOB IS COLLECTING MONEY FROM ONE NIGERIA PEOPLE! CANT YOU SEE THAT? WHY DO YOU NEED TO BREAK UP? TO HAVE SECURITY, DEVELOPMENT, CONTROL OVER YOUR MARKETS, ARMY, POLICE AND ETC. MULTINATIONALS HQS. YOU WILL BE BIGGER THAN GHANA!. |
blues2022:There is no need to leave where you are making money but remember home! Captain Haastrup, Chairman of Eagle Cement made it in PH and he established the first 5 star hotel in Osun state where national conferences are held, ANA, NUJ and etc. That is how you do things. Yoruba will never leave PH, Enugu, Onitsha, Calabar and etc. So Igbos will never leave the West BUT HAVE YOUR BIAFRA! |
[quote author=basadenet post=51412080][/quote]What is Yoruba or Hausa equivalent of IPOB and Radio Biafra? So if you abuse people, they abuse you back, that is not hatred! If you want to break up, do it normally! Do IPOB have a well structured militia of 3 million members like OPC? That is organisation. You want to break up? No need to fight others! If war must break out, let it be after breakup! After the UN must have helped you to achieve the breakup! No need at all to start with belligerency! |
MiyattiAllah:Stop being childish! Hausas are all over the world too! Are Igbos more spread than Hausas? You find Hausas all over West Africa and in Saudi Arabia etc. You can not ask anybody to leave! This is ECOWAS. Anyone that tries such will lose out! Only inept governments do that. Population is market and market is money! Let this be the last time you make such a foolish statement please. Be serious!. |
If there are only 2 people living in Lagos, do you think Lagos will be able to do the 40 billion naira monthly revenue it presently does? BREAKUP DOES NOT MEAN YOU PACK FROM EVERYWHERE AND GO! THERE ARE MANY YORUBA AND HAUSA MILLIONAIRES IN THE EAST! There are Yoruba scattered all over the world as well as Igbos! Think of the benefits of breakup, dont be a stumbling block to progress! What are you gaining as Nigeria is one that you would lose if Nigeria breaks up? Breakup means you control your land, your economy, your markets, your GDP will rise, you will have embassies, multinational headquarters and etc. You stand to gain a lot as Igbos! You better use your common sense!. |
You people make it sound as if you control the whole of SE. That is wrong. An Igbo woman told me 'Half of Enugu is Hausa!'. Non Ikwerre Igbo have less properties than Yoruba in PH. In Onitsha, PH, most taxi drivers are Yoruba. Many artisans are Yoruba but Igbos are always inside market or by the roadside which gives a false impression of population. In Lagos, Igbos are not more than Hausas neither are they making more money in total but they are more integrated. In your SE, you buy products from Yoruba controlled companies, you buy Dangote products and etc. Do the trade balance yourself and ask yourself why SE is poorest in the South and 2nd poorest of 6 zones. |
Customer80:if you are buying electronics, musical instruments, most sellers are Igbos but if you are buying a car most sellers are not Igbos as in the volume sold by Igbos can not be up to the volume sold by Yorubas all over the country. Then new cars are not up to ten percent of sales and majority is Toyota which is controlled by Elizade. For used cars, Ilesa, Ife, Ibadan, Ijebu, Ilorin, Ogbomosho, Abeokuta control more than Lagos and in Lagos, Yoruba sell more. Even in PH, I believe Yoruba sell more because I have been there and I saw them selling cars. Dont be worked up over Yoruba. Just ask people you know who just bought cars who they bought it from. Many of my secondary school mates sell cars, my landlord sells. In Ilesa, it is a favorite business. So how can you add everything and Igbos will sell more? That is not possible. Dont get worked up! How can Austria be comparing themselves to Germany, dragging seniority? That is what Igbos are to Yoruba! Your belligerency is just irritating!. Add all your cities together and add Yoruba cities then compare. In Abidjan, Accra and etc you find Yoruba who are entrenched for generations. Business men, car dealers and etc. Hausas have their big business in which Igbos are nowhere to be found like road haulage, bureau de change and etc. They are making money even in Igbo land. Igbos buy from them a lot! Add their properties and it will surpass Igbo properties, add their cities, it far surpasses Igbo cities. No Igbo city except PH is comparable to Ogbomosho in total real estate value. |
Customer80:WHAT IS DEVIL USING ME AGAIN HERE? IN PH WHICH IS IN THE EAST, YORUBA ARE DRAGGING AUTO SALES WITH IGBOS, I BELIEVE THEY SELL MORE. I AM TALKING OF IMPORTED USED CARS NOW. IN LAGOS, YORUBA SELL MORE BUT IMPORTED CAR MARKET IS NOT TOTALLY DOMICILED IN LAGOS BUT IN OTHER SOUTHWEST CITIES LIKE ILESA, IBADAN ABEOKUTA, AKURE AND ETC. NEW CARS IS LAGOS. TOYOTA IS NUMBER ONE FOR NEW CARS AND ELIZADE CONTROLS THAT. SO ADD EVERYTHING TOGETHER, MINDING THE FACT THAT 60 PERCENT OF CARS ARE IN THE WEST, YOU WILL SEE AUTO IMPORTATION AND SALES CONTROLLED BY YORUBAS BUT OTHERS HAVE SHARES IN IT INCLUDING IGBOS AND HAUSAS. DO YOU GET IT? I SAY SOMETHING OBVIOUS TO ANY OBSERVER AND YOU SAY DEVIL IS USING ME? WHAT I HAVE IN THE UK BELONGS TO THAT COUNTRY, IT IS THEIR NATIONAL PROPERTY, THEY TAX IT AND ETC. THEY CAN TAKE IT OVER WITH A LAW. IT IS THEIR PROPERTY. I AM JUST HELPING THEM TO MANAGE IT. SAME APPLIES TO PROPERTIES OF NON IGBOS IN IGBO LAND. IT IS THE PROPERTY OF IGBOS. SOME COUNTRIES TAKE 50 PERCENT OF THEIR GDP AS TAX. |
LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION! ALL CAN PROSPER BUT IF IGBO WILL BE ONE NATION WITH HAUSAS AND YORUBA, WHY NOT WITH EUROPEANS, CHINESE, INDIANS IN A ONE WORLD ANTICHRIST GOVERNMENT THEN? MULTICULTURALISM? NIGERIA IS AN ANTICHRIST ARRANGEMENT! YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES. IF THERE IS BIAFRA OR ODUDUWA AND ETC, PEOPLE MUST STILL KNOW THEIR BOUNDARIES. YOU CANT MIX EVERYTHING TOGETHER. THAT IS EVIL! I DONT WANT MY FRIEND TO SLEEP WITH MY WIFE AS A MATTER OF RIGHT!. |
carmag:Things dont work like that. First duty of government is to ban slave labor and eradicate the informal economy, you must pay all your employees through the bank where income tax will be deducted from source, then someone will come from IRS regularly to check your accounts with your accountant and receive your company income tax. Then you need to fight for customers. It is never a one size fits all arrangement where you transfer tax as you mentioned. It will be the way it is now, if you are a good manager, you succeed, you are not, you may fail, then there are many other factors too that determines. The aim of government should be to route over 30 percent of GDP to the center for nation building. |
bareal:Take automobiles, Yoruba are the major importers, both new and fairly used. Take used parts, Yoruba control that one, new parts is controlled by Igbos. Electronics is like 65 to 35 in favor of Igbos. The population in the SE comprises Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas etc, that population is around half of SW population, it is the least of the zones. Things produced in the SW or imported by SW are consumed there too worth billions of Naira a year and vice versa. Thesame relationship with NW, onions, tomatoes, groundnut etc come from there, yams from the NC. Hausas do road haulage, they import textiles even electronics too, they control bureau de change. They produce, dye, leather . They have production money too and etc. So it cuts across! Production is what brings wealth, not trading and trading is the WEAKEST LINK in the chain, most easily replaced. Who produces more between NW, NC, SW, SE, SS AND SE? Trading is just a minor sector. If you produce food, clothes, furniture, bread and you control your own multinationals in your zones, your GDP may double. Trading can not give you same results. Look at the Japanese. So look inwards for growth. Solve poverty at home first. It applies to all. In Gross production for now, it is SW, NW, SS ETC. The size of the cities are clear indicators. Population size is the winner at the end, it is the total population of people in your cities that in the end determines your weight. That is why Germany leads Europe. It is why China and India cant be discounted. So if you raise discriminatory taxes to chase away people, the nation loses. If SW were a country, they would raise more than double the budget of the SE via taxes for now, it can not be possible without people! No nation uses a discriminatory taxation system |
EVERYBODY WILL SURVIVE. IF SW IS 60 MILLION, SE WILL BE LIKE 35 MILLION, AS SEPARATE COUNTRIES, BOTH WILL DO BETTER THAN NIGERIA. CONTROL THEIR MARKETS, FACTORIES, INDUSTRIES AND ETC. SE WITH PART OF SS MAY BE CLOSE TO 60 MILLION AS WELL. THAT IS A HUGE MARKET! |
omoyowa:Oko is more popular than the Ekwulobia because of the poly. How many secondary schools in Ekwulobia? How many institutions? Five star hotels? Resident CEOs, companies? Stadium? Student hostels arent enough. |
Daboomb:your submission is very brilliant. You should be a Judge! |
omoyowa:No one knows Ekwulobia, not in any worthwhile map. Maybe Onitsha annex? Like Ijebu jesha is to Ilesa? Ekwulobia can not be more than Ijebu Jesa, that is the issue! How many buildings are in that town? Please abeg be serious. Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka are the known places in Anambra! Ijebu ode is the Ijebu capital, a major city. How can you compare Ekwulobia to Ijebu Ode of the Ijebus? |
You get legally married and there is evidence at NYSC, then you got married again in 2007 to John Edobor in 2007! That is fraud. A case of bigamy. The woman will go to prison on that alone. They should have divorced properly. Not divorcing properly means a case of trespass cant be sustained by the woman. The woman will be worsted if they go to trial and if that lover has money, he will pay damages to John Edobor! The woman too will pay if she has money. Both are criminals. |
Just type first 50 or 100 African cities in a search engine and you will recover proper lists put together by experts writing for recognised journals. Not the trash you are writing up and down here! |
Kfed4ril:you are not interested in big business news, so how will you hear of them? Those are companies where employees are millionaires building 2, 3 houses. If you are not current, you will not hear of them of course but Reuters, Bloomberg, Financial Times and etc write of them and they see them as major companies. If Osun is organised like Germany, Japan or the UK, they can raise more than 20 billion dollars equivalent a year, as in they can raise money inside Osun that can do more than what 20 billion dollars can do in the USA. |
