Onitsha main market is nt even the biggest market in Nigeria.

YoruBanger:
Lol. I hate to be in your shoes boy coz it's obvious you and your ilk are desperate to find a way to get the rest of the country's attention via the pity parties you call protests but too bad y'all appear too insignificant to command the level of attention you seek. You cleverly failed to address the fact I cited that Onitsha market is dependent on imported goods that enter Nigeria majorly via SW ports, without which the market ceases to exist. In other words, the part of the country that owns and controls the seaport where imported goods that are the lifeline of the likes of Onitsha can easily replace Onitsha in a heartbeat -- we'll simply import those goods ourselves and cut y'all off and problem solved. So don't flatter yourself, boy.

YoruBanger:
OP you funny sha. Abeg wetin any sound-thinking non-igbo pesin wan find go Onitsha? Onitsha needs the rest of Nigeria than vice-versa coz they hardly produce anything of note there, and most of the goods sold at the market are imported via SW Nigeria ports without which there'll be nothing to sell, so if you shut out your customers, whoever they are.. Ko kan'aiye mehn. Btw, happy protesting. I am all for Biafra

They should thank their stars that police came to their rescue, they dont know the ground upon which they are standing

[size=14pt]My sister, dem tire me o.

I wonder how Biafra go be if dem no get unity. Igbo's only unifying factor is hating on the Yoruba man. Once Yorubas are gone, they'll turn on themselves. [/size]

IlekeHD:
Nigeria is surviving because of 1) Ijaw oil 2) viable Yorubaland (business growth, peace and tolerance, innovation etc).


lol e jo ara gan ni.

IlekeHD:
Assuming I visit? The whole point of going to Nigeria, for me, is to go to Ekiti.

Well I loved it. It's "earthy" like you said, clean, green boisterous. People were generally nice/kind.

I visited several cities/villages in Ekiti. I was happy with the development [even tho it was in a slow pace] Fayemi was achieving in several parts......roads/bridges/fixing our dam.

I spent 80% of my time in my lovely state and I didn't want to go back to Lagos.

I love my state.

I hated the unlawful okadas tho.

IlekeHD:
Noisemaking. Did they also curve out Lagos state from Rivers?


Looking at the map, I can now understand why Ibos want the forced SS/SE relationship and their renewed claim on Ijawlands.

dearpreye:
OP, thanks for this inspirational message. Thanks.

If there was ever a time it was easier to become great and successful, it's NOW. Like you correctly said, the greats like Bill Gates never had the enormous opportunities and information we have now. I even read somewhere he had to travel very long distances to have access to the massive mainframe computers that were available back then.

We have all it takes to make it. But we have to think differently. I think differently. My definition and notion of success is totally different to what obtains with thousands of people that cross my way. I question beliefs. I challenge customs. I dare to be different. I dare to think in an unconventional manner.

The major reason our nation is this way is because almost everyone thinks alike. Only a few Nigerians think differently. Only a few Nigerians are truly troubled with poor infrastructures, poor health care, poor educational system, deplorable roads, etc. Only a few even THINK!

To be great is to be misunderstood. All great men were misunderstood at some point in their life times. This is because they choose to reason and think differently; they refuse to conform to the expectations of society; they refuse to be mediocres.

My dear Nigerian student, wake up and smell the coffee; you're responsible for your life. Dare to be different. Dare to dream.

Macelliot I wish you weren't Igbo, you sound like someone who could be objective if presented with the right facts .

Only NW and some NC speak Hausa. The Hausa never forced their language on their neighbours. The Fulani came and supplanted the Hausa kings using liberation for the slaves and lower class as a tool . Then they sealed it with a common religion. They all retained their languages, even languages that are now lost are due to dying off of the few remaining speakers.

The SE is not far ahead of the SW. Lagos is excluded because it wouldn't be fair. Even the Aba and Onitsha are not so special as you paint them, abi no be those rustic storey buildings for Fegge and upper iweka? Main market is too dirty, ochanja is too dirty, upper iweka is too dirty, Onitsha south is too dirty, even those stores almost under Niger bridge are nothing to write on. The SW has brown roof all over, osun na shrine city abi, ondo has few infrastructure abi, Ogun state has opened up as the new Lagos , illorin is beautiful, ado ekiti is b4àutiful,. so una no too pass each other.

The renewed attempts by Igbos to rewrite history is what is dividing Nigeria

seunmsg:
Where do you Ibos get all these nonsense statistics from? You should get some education about revenue generation laws in Nigeria before displaying your ignorance publicly. Lagos state does not generate majority of it internal revenue from seaports, markets and entertainment.

All the ports in Lagos are operated by the federal government and the Nigeria customs service is in charge of administering the duties charged on importation and exportation. State governments have nothing to do with with levelling taxes on imported and exported products. States are only allowed majorly to administer personal income tax, capital gains tax (individual), registration of business premises etc.

And your argument about Lagos state generating huge revenues from markets and entertainment is very funny. Those traders pay little or nothing as taxes to the state government. Their contributions is very insignificant when you look at the average monthly revenue generated by Lagos state.

ThisMeansWAR:
olodo ... That's because Chinese go everywhere to explore and invest.. and not become leeches on its host..

Going by your logic, Nigeria has its citizens in every country of the world, how come Nigeria is not as developed as China ?

And to think that you cannot use ccommon sense to differentiate between migration as result of economic, social, environmental hardship to migration as a result of sharing expertise or expanding your businesses..

Hownmany Chinese have you seen selling gala or pirated CD on the street on Lagos just to build China ? ...

Brown roofs are still present in alaibo. plus you people don't have enough land, hence the destruction on the old settlements to build new houses that would have served has tourist attraction or for business....

We have old settlements and our new settlement still beat all of alaibo hands down..

How much are nnewei , aba or innoson contributing to the GDP? The last time I checked, 85% of non oil revenue comes from south west ..

The rest of the rants ... do not deserve response ..its the usual chest beating lies from a typical Igbo ..
These is how you people have been ranting about our oyel and finally turns out SW is the second largest producer of oil in nigeria ..

Loud mouth fools ..

IlekeHD:
The SW is set for regionalism. We know who we are and any state that doesn't fall in line will be left behind. We have enough land and access to the sea through Lagos, Ondo and Ogun states. We have a viable region that can sustain agriculture, oil (Lagos and Ondo) and tech hubs(ogun/Ondo and Lagos) and many more. Erosion cases are 1 to none.

We're ready!

We'll let the Biafrans make their region unstable with Biafric protests, while the SW accumulate all national international investors. We want regionalism in Yorubaland (Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, and parts of Kwara and Kogi that chooses to come with the SW).

rhymaster:
Because there are no Ibos in Adamawa trying to claim them and their lands, most of other parts of Nigeria are live and let live. Ibos are the opposite! The SW also has many dialects and minor variants but all Yorubas are very comfortable about each other, maybe due to hundreds of years of living together in an empire. Ibos are thieves, and the more they try to claim these ND groups, the more they will be wary of Ibos and try to run away from them. Ibos are land grabbers and covetous people. Their land is so poor it self destructs itself in what is called massive gully erosion. This is why Ibos are looking for other people's land and then overwhelm the minorities by their greedy numbers and dire love for money!!!!!

princdebola201:
chai see what the OP have Caused..what a heart break Eyah sorry Erosion is also one of useful resources in South East Zone..


South West and south south re Way ahead of south East Zonesin terms of industralization, Agriculture, each owns sea port .

South East will have to Feed on the Scrabbles they get from the Erosion ravaged Land

No wonder people tag it as a Curse Land

Now I know why all Flat heads re trooping into south west in thousands everyday

HopeAtHand:
One can only speak for his people.

The Ikwerre i come from originated as the son of Akalaka who migrated from benin kingdom..i know ive heard the Okpo Wagidi story some other ikwerres use as their origin and the link with IsiOkpo.

Dunno if you noticed the Emohua people are usually fiercest in our stance that we arent Igbos because we are very certain about our ancestry as our brothers the Ekpeyes are a readily available proof to our claims.

Irregardless, Ikwerre has come a long way in gaining separate recognition.we have set ourselves on a path.i believe Ikwerre should be left alone and allowed to grow at her pace and also to chart her destiny.This undue interference and unwanted brotherhood is nothing but distraction to us.

Lolz..expect anything..

HopeAtHand:
It was partially a payback to the Igbos for their maltreatment of Ikwerres during the days of Eastern Regional govt and also a means of retrieving some part of our ancrstral land.

They way the eastern regional govt sinled out Ikwerres from owning properties in Port Harcourt was very systemic..we never got our CofO and building permits approved in Enugu while Igbos were were filling up the city with buildings..we only watched helplessly and prayed the situation will improve.

The situation never looked like improving until Ojukwu declared a war and lost it...we thank him specially.

HopeAtHand:
rivers when present constitutes the natural boundary between people..

It was done for convenience and not political reasons as you already believe...and i have it on good authority that Oyigbo land belongs to Eleme people..they are customary tenants..

HopeAtHand:
The british lumped us all into eastern region..ijaw Ikwerre, Ogoni, Igbo, Ibibio et al simply because it was convenient for them..they came to Nigeria exploration and not the ethnic makeup of the people.they had no business with whatever wasnt profitable.

Ohaneze whatever means nothing to me.

Igbos arent Ikwerres, so yes, you arent ny brother.

If you do not know something, ask questions..

Even if im indifferent to okrikan, Riverians and Ijaws in particular, i cannot simply see something perpetuated by Ikwerres and Ijaws and blame only Ijaws..most of the buildings from mile 3 to 1 and Dline were abandoned by Igbos and distributed to Ikwerres while the ones in towm was distributed to Okrikan, Kalabaris and mainstream Izon..Sincerely, you cant take them back.

Recognise your ignorance and learn, no shame in it..

Abagworo knows Rivers well, he can affirm.
