Ignorant at the peak
Can you compare Nicon to transcorp Hilton owned by Tony Elumelu

Tony is a niger delta
Yoruba designed buildings in abuja
Own real estate in Abuja
Buy and invest in farms in north
Build institutions in Niger Delta
But Biafra God forbid

Even dangote does not have anything in Igbo land
Ifeanyi ubah pack all his business in Yoruba land build stadium for Biafra


Diamond and Fidelity both in Yoruba land who's the mumu Yoruba that will invest in east
Even if I get posted to east I will only rent and send my money home

Saintsquare:
keep deceiving yourself, 99% indeed.

Ikeja alone is worth more than all igbo land

Who's the bastard that will invest his hard earned money in Biafra so Albino kanu will be dictating to his workers when to and not go to work

Baseless lie about property in Igboland

By Azuka Onwuka

There is a baseless lie many Northerners and Southwesterners have repeated for long that they now believe it to be true, and they have continued to pass it on to their children. That blatant lie is that the reason they don't have much property or businesses in Igboland like the Igbos have in other parts of the country is because Igbos don't sell property to them or rent shops to them.

The Arewa Youths repeated that lie in their letter to the Acting President thus:

"And since the Igbo have virtually infiltrated every nook and cranny of Northern Nigeria where they have been received with open arms as fellow compatriots, we strongly believe that the region is no longer safe and secure in the light of the unfolding threats and the fact that for a long time, the Igbo have gone to extra ordinary lengths to ensure that in their domain in the South East, Northerners and Westerners are as much as possible disenfranchised from owning any businesses whereas in Kano alone, they own not less than 100,000 shops across all the business districts."

I have thrown a challenge many times on this but nobody took up my challenge. I made myself available to help anybody buy property in Nnewi and give that person a signed promise that nothing will ever happen to that property and also make my children take over that pledge when I am gone. Mind you, a storey building sells for as much as N200 million in some parts of Nnewi. So don't think it is some place where nobody wants to buy from.

The simple question to ask those who make this baseless claim is, if Igbos don't sell property to them, don't Edos, Efiks, Ijaws, Ur hobos, etc in the South-South sell to them too? How many lands and shops do Northerners and Westerners own in Calabar or Benin or Uyo or Warri, etc?

How much property and stationary businesses do Northerners own in the Southwest outside Lagos (former capital)?

How much property and businesses do Yorubas own in the North outside Abuja?

So what is the reason for that?

I have urged some Hausas and Yorubas in Nnewi to buy property but some of them smiled knowingly and kept quiet, while some told me plainly that they can't take such a risk with the way things are in Nigeria.

The problem is simply fear of the unknown. Most Nigerians - minus the Igbos - have this fear that there will still be trouble in future. So they go into any state outside their region with a bag to do their business and leave when they are done. Many don't even go with their wife and children for fear of the unknown. They believe that it is only the former FCT (Lagos) or present FCT (Abuja) that is less risky to invest in.

Most people don't understand what drives Igbos in their business and investment decisions. Igbos don't buy property in other parts of Nigeria because of any special treatment given to them by their hosts. They buy property in spite of all that goes with property and the risk involved. They lose their money to fraudsters and omonile regularly in the Southwest. They lose their property to government demolition of property. Yet they invest in property because they see property as a profitable investment, and they hate to continue to be tenants forever. An Igbo man wants to be his own master (landlord) as quickly as possible.

Igbos have lost their property and businesses to burning, destruction and looting repeatedly in riots in the North. They have even been killed repeatedly. Yet they return to rebuild.

A few years after the abandoned property saga in Port Harcourt, Igbos returned to Port Harcourt and began buying property again like crazy. Even when they are warned of the possibility of a repeat of 1970, they still go ahead to invest in property.

Obasanjo has had some land in Enugu since the 1970s when he was head of state. He has not developed the land till today. Buhari said in his asset declaration that he has some land in Port Harcourt (probably given to him free of charge). He doesn't even know where the land is, not to talk of developing it. Yet these are heads of state who fought for the unity of this nation and are always talking about one Nigeria and need to believe in Nigeria. Yet they don't even have faith in investing outside their regions or FCT.

Igbos believe that crisis and loss will not make one not to make an investment decision. Their thinking is: "What if I don't invest and nothing happens eventually to the businesses or property around? Will I bring back the hand of the clock? But even if I invest and it is lost, life goes on. Life is a risk."

It sounds like a crazy way to think but that is how they are. No other Nigerian ethnic group thinks like this. That is why some people who don't travel assume that the reason Igbos live in large numbers in other ethnic groups and even return to places where they are killed is because Igboland is not developed. Even if you have never travelled to Igboland, please Google the CBN report of the six states that control 90% cash transactions in Nigeria.

The simple reality is that Igbos are wierd risk takers when it comes to business and investment. Other ethnic groups don't have such a trait. People are different.

The reason we do these intermittent interventions is to ensure that things are put in their right perspective, for those who care for the truth; for it was such falsehood that was spread in 1966 and used as a justification for the genocide against the Igbos that year.

Shops are available in Igboland, if you have the money and have the thick skin to compete. Land is available for purchase in all parts of Igboland, if you have the money. Igbos are business-oriented. They sell or rent their property to the highest bidder. And once the transaction is done, it is done. No stories.

Just keeping the record straight.

Truth is yoruba won't drop 1kobo of his money on Igbo land
It's a cursed region with 3m ghost haunting it
It's people re not well skilled
It's cheap
There's a reason why igbos don't invest home so why should Yoruba invest in it

Meanwhile Yoruba investors are a lot in Nigeria delta
With oando building a refinery in akwa ibom soon
Ebony life in calabar
Glo investing over $1bn in connecting central Africa via rivers
Oyedepi with maritime university in calabar too

He lacked common sense, you can see his response, the poor boy will soon discover his grave soon, his grannies are seriously preparing to welcome him.

I can still assist him on fastest way to unite with his grannies who died hating Igbos

Is that the rat poison awolowo used to kill 3m biafrans without bullet ?

WHY ARE YOU TREMBLING SOME PREFER ODUS O BIAFRA

milantustorin:
I am not an Afonja dat speaks for wat doesnt concern me.... as I have told u, the main reason why tinubu and buhari wer not in good terms is because of this Kogi issue...and i repeat ur masters can never allow you take kogi and kwara away from them, it is over der dead body...

It will pain you when Yorubas get Kwara and Kogi
I have AGBO you can use for
Sucide
I also know it's paining you your masters won't let niger delta go with you

Keep on fighting for Nigeria to break hehehe

MEANWHILE CAN SOMEONE MENTION THE TRUBE THAT WANTS AN INDEPENDENT NATION THEY DONT DESIRE TO LIVE IN ?

milantustorin:
It will choke u how they will get it soon,but Wat I am 100% sure is that there can never be referendum for kogi and kwara cus u didn't fight for it and don't intend to do so cus ur masters will be angry with u....

Referendum is for everyone
It will pain you cause you know Kwara and Kogi will return to west but niger delta will prefer independence for life

Have you packed your load for independence

That is why igbos are slaves
You cook the struggle while we chill and eat the rewards while you only go with 5 states
You can't speak for Kwara and Kogi sadly

milantustorin:
Who will give referendum to kogi and kwara... only Biafra will be given referendum cus dey fought for it...

Same referendum your leaders are afriad to raise

FKO81:
Focus on your brown roof republic, what will be the faith of Yorubas in Kwara under fulani empire when Nigeria disintegrate

Referendum for Biafra
Referendum for Kwara and Kogi

But niger delta won't go back to Biafra via referendum while kwara and Kogi west will Go back to west

Talk now o Ibo

bot101:
Yoruba people who haven't left the south west (most of them actually) tend to think the world begins and ends in Lagos.

No sane man would think that the region with the lowest poverty level in Nigeria is 'poverty land'

Palm oil education has made you forget the meaning of poverty

Ipob and north east Nigeria will suffer the most
South south and south west will be the richest

I'm here to watch IGBO people beg niger delta for unity the reason why you hate Yoruba but fake love Niger delta we must know today !

Suddenly Biafra has lost steam hehehe
Igbo Jews are animals

lloydtruth:
Igbo/biafra matter has caused him so much pains and agony that he doesn't know his bearing again, according to him he is yoruba-akoku edo-niger deltan I gave him a mandate to create 5 igbo threads today, he has created 4 already and will definitely exceed the target before the end of the day.

Scared goat Biafra don end just like that

Hehe unity beggers in Yoruba land

CastedDude:
A mild drama occurred yesterday at Nkpor Junction in Idemili North Local Government Area, near the commercial city of Onitsha in Anambra State, after a commercial driver had his bus seized by policemen who were on patrol. According to reports, the driver called his brother on phone to tell him what had happened to him.

The brother on getting there with his motorcycle was arrested and his bike seized in the process.

This made residents of the area gather in their numbers as they prevented the policemen from leaving till the arrested man was released.

The seized bike and bus were also reportedly released by the security operatives.
