xynerise: This topic has turned to advert to run for one month because of the agenda involved .
These south easterners are doing business in Lagos and fetching the revenue for them. Talk about Alaba Intl, Trade Fair, Ladipo, Oshodi and many other big markets in Lagos.
The Oil revenue in the South South/South East is what is also feeding Nigeria so you expect them to eat little?
Create a working seaport in south-east and see how changes will occur
They should go and do the same business in east and generate the same equivalent. How many years have bn saying the same rubbish?
stagger: Can you compare the demand of refined products in the US, a highly industrialized nation, with that of Nigeria, a 3rd world, resource-deprived economy where politicians and their cohorts in the public service steal all the money meant for Nigeria's industrialization?
US daily consumption is presently at 381.95 million litres of PMS. Accurate data from EIA.
Nigeria's estimated daily consumption is 30 million litres.
What is the basis of comparison here? You are consuming a tenth of what US consumes...why do you want to import like the US when you already have a refinery that can meet that daily consumption?
Should we halt all forms of importation because a greedy monopolist just built a refinery? Why did he have to sue them to court,after all in met them in the business. How come a nation is expected to shock life out of other businesses because Dangote is now in the business.
Wainey: they were fighting the refinery, back then Dangote does nothing but complain like VDM, now Dangote is fighting back.
Nobody fought the refinery, Dangote when to court to sue importers. He claimed since he had a refinery now Nigeria should stop importing fuel so only him will sell to the nation. Importers on the other claimed if anything goes wrong with the refinery then the whole nation will grind to a halt just because of you. And besides US is one of the largest oil producers and yet still import insane amount of fuel,why should Nigeria stop importing just because of one man's greed.
moodyguy: Lies Glo did it in the telecoms sector and we re eenjoying it today
Adenuga had never bn monopolistic, he had always played fair. Dangote had always used government instrument to smoke out competition then bounce back on the masses to milk them dry. By that time all competition will have long died and we will be at the mercy of one man.
Mitsurugi: We'll simply move to another stall. It's called open market. Competition.
That's the problem, Dangote unlike other businesses uses government influence to choke other stalls. Remember when bua cement wanted to slash cement prices to 3k. They quickly muscled him to submission. Bua knew the profits were crazy but Dangote didn't care, so they had to silence bua.
Dangote is going for the jugular, but at the end of the day the consumers will smell pepper. Dangote will completely squeeze every single penny from the masses for the huge loss and risk he is about to take.
banom: Well I'm Igbo, and we have always been richer than Yoruba people. As at the time he built that house, obviously in the first or second decade of 20th century, my forefathers were billionaires , traveled round the world, and were working hard to bring you freedom from British colonization.
Today that nonsense you are glorifying as mansion is a mere duplex in Igbo land. Belonging to average rich families in our villages. Come Igbo land let's show you what a mansion is.
Or better still drop your account details let me buy you dinner cus I know you are hungry and languishing somewhere in ognomoso.
Your fathers where roaming around naked when we sat at the table with western leaders
kettykings: I think, the neglect has reached this man,when everyone was shouting neglect since 2015 where was he.
Igbos must rise with ruthless intent and transform the East into the undisputed Research and Development capital of Africa. We proved our genius under fire—during the civil war, we engineered the killing machines like Ogbunigwe, crude oil refineries, palm oil refineries, radio transmitters, rocket guided missiles and other war machines, using sheer will, brainpower, and scarcity as fuel. What excuse do we have now, in so-called peace?
We are still in Nigeria, but Nigeria cannot contain us. If we could build weapons in the bush, we can damn well build industries in cities. It's time every high-turnover Igbo business—whether in tech, pharmaceuticals, engineering, or manufacturing—sets up R and D headquarters in the East. No more excuses.
Let’s pull back our smartest minds. Let’s train them, empower them, and put them to work building products that fuel our own region—not Lagos, not Abuja, but the East. This isn’t charity; it’s survival. No more capital flight. No more brain drain. No more waiting for a country that only knows how to marginalize.
Nigeria cannot defeat the East without external collaboration. Not in war. Not in development. Not in anything—if we stop holding ourselves back. Build in the East. Hire from the East. Innovate for the East.

Clown, the south east is governed and administered by ibos from the governor down to the ward councillors, no single non ibo blood, but you dimwits continue to cry blue murder. Do you need outsiders to come and takeover ?
NairaOcean: A shocking case of impersonation and betrayal has surfaced, involving a lady from Edo State who was recently apprehended in Imo State for using her best friend’s pictures to engage in online hookup activities.
According to reports, the suspect—whose identity is yet to be revealed—allegedly operated a double life, claiming to run an online clothing business while secretly engaging in hookup services as a side hustle. However, instead of using her own identity, she downloaded and used images of her unsuspecting best friend to attract clients on various hookup platforms.
Trouble began when the victim—whose pictures were being used—started facing serious backlash from her family, particularly her brothers, who were misled into believing she was involved in immoral activities online. Determined to clear her name, the victim took matters into her own hands and tracked the impersonator all the way to Imo State.
In a viral video now circulating online, the Edo lady can be seen kneeling and tearfully confessing to the crime. She admitted to sourcing the photos from her friend’s social media accounts and using them without consent to lure clients. She also begged for forgiveness, claiming desperation pushed her into the act.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with many condemning the misuse of personal images for fraudulent and immoral purposes. The victim’s bravery in exposing the impersonator has been praised, while the accused may now face legal consequences.
But they helped you kill some boko/herdsmen/kidnappers recently in Uromi, you maniacs where screaming all over the media. Now you are back to square one
