So u don't believe in migration? The people of Ibusa in Delta migrated from the Isuofia in Aguata lga Anambra

Rose2014:
Digging out those posts was a piece of cake for me given that it's an argument we see here daily.....

DikeOha882:
They should be the same people in different geopolitical zone

Eastlink:
I thought Mr Nextdoor guy was asked a simple question about his Ekpeye community. Where went he? Just question and he was no where to be found. Haha! I'm beginning to think that guy is from the South-East.

HopeAtHand:
WTH are you saying. I dont care if the Op mentioned Ikwerre, if i see Ikwerre mentioned by any moniker, im in.

Do not reply this mention except you want this thread to "grow" to maybe page 20.

HopeAtHand:
I will continually knock it into the heads of stubborn mkpi goats, that Ikwerres, regardless of the waywardness of a few mischievous fellows, are not interested in being Igbo. The earlier you Igbo rascals realise that this is a legal issue, the better.

Ugomba:
can you tell me who mentioned Biafra here? Because I did not mention anything like that in my post.
Greedy slots? Are all Igbos in support of Nnamdi Kanu or you just want to throw insults around.

Habakus:
It's quite strange how some people reason. It's simply better to just shut up when you're not sure of some things than to go about - stubbornly - exposing your ignorance for the whole world to see. You say these people are not Igbos,yet they bear Igbo names(up to as far back as anyone can remember),they have exact cultures and traditions with Igbos,they speak the Igbo language,the names of their towns and villages are Igbo,their traditional rulers have Igbo titles and,other people see them as Igbos. What can be more delusional than that?

fizzy94:
I think you got his perspective wrong too. He's trying to say that: Before the discovery of oil, kano was fending for itself through agriculture, look up the massive groundnut pyramid that was set up there in the 60s and find out.

kazuna:
thought this thread is about d fate of ND nay Naija with the current oil glut? Since when did it degenerate to Igbotic/Yorubatic/other tribesbatic diatribe and memes.

can't we have constructive dialogues for once.

TheDevilIsALai:
Which tribe will deny his origin?

The ND are very proud people. They are against being lumped with Biafra.

This does not mean they hate Biafra but want an open consensus before being part.

It is arrogating to claim ND as Biafra by the IPOB since thy were never consulted .

This is how and why the Ibos lost the hearts and minds of the ND people in the last civil war by arrogating control over them.

The NDs where also skeptical in fighting what was tagged an Ibo conflict and gave into nigerian propaganda on the very failings of the Biafrans to arrogatingly dominate them.

But this doesn't mean that ND are pro Nigerian and anti Biafran.

You're a joker

Which commercial market in lagos is larger than dubai?

You've not been to dubai before
When you reach dubai you go know.

Only the commercial markets in Diera( which is a little portion of dubai) is larger than your lagos.
What do you know?

In terms of doing business, Dubai is far more profitable than your Lagos.
An ordinary grocery shop owner in dubai makes more than 20,000dirhams per month , that's like 1.43million naira in a month.
While in your lagos a grocery/provision store seller never see 100k per month.

Man before you argue , always try to verify and research. Don't argue based on the little knowledge u have.

Dubai is not only a tourist city , it's the economic power house of UAE and the Gulf region


In industries , Dubai has alot of Industries and many are springing up every day.

The numbers of industries in Al quoz( A small part of dubai) is higher than all the industries in lagos and the entire south west put together

vinceton:
. If you are from this region you won't sound like this. Oil exploitation led to their present predicament. What if there is less exploitation due to low demand. Most lands will become fertile for farming. The people? They will learn to be stronger since situation has changed. If ND part of the federation units in Nigeria, what stops a sensitive Govt from creating an alternative means of livelihood for nd people. So I see them subsisting beyond oil fall

Amberon:
Lmao.... pls where in the entire SE is more developed than PH, Warri, Uyo or Calabar... lmao. and pls don't tell me how PH is igboland. SS is also the most sustainable region in Nigeria by a large margin.

Aren't there Igbos in the Niger-Delta?

sameer1212:
For your mind now you are doing a great analysis right? We northerners don't need your useless and biased analysis. You hatred towards north is alarming but than GOD nothing you and your likes will do about it cos we rule and you (IPOB)must follow. Mtchewww.

TheDevilIsALai:
Firstly you are wrong on Ogun having the largest deposits of limestone, that record goes to Sokoto which has the worlds largest reserves.

Secondly, this is exploitative mining and not entrepreneurship .

Abi we go chop cement?

The deposits in Ogun were exploited to meet the housing demand in Lagos.

And besides I can bet you have just one cement factory in Ogun. Is this factory going to employ everybody in Ogun and is it going to form the next Sony which started off as a one man venture?

willow0801:
What reserve does the sw or north have, you hating idiot!

Igbos when Yorubas call you ''leeches'' tell them to leave yoruba news outfits and know that:

*Ebonyi is the biggest rice producer in Nigeria with 25 solid minerals(lime stone) and 2 salt lakes.
*the coal in Enugu can power west africa and beyond.
* Anambra holds 16 percent of Nigeria's gas reserve
*Anambra,Abia and Imo(with untapped fields) are crude oil producing state.

*Anambra has Bauxite,Imo has ceramic etc.
*Onitsha,Aba,Ladipo,Alaba and computer village are the trade capital in Africa(powered by Igbos)
* Igbos pay 85 percent of import duties in Lagos.

Nigeria finds oil and gas in commercial quantities in Anambra


About 30 tcf of gas and 1 bn barrels of crude oil has been found in the Anambra River basin in Anambra State, the Director of Engineering standard in the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mr Patrick Onwumere, said in Awka.
Mr Onwumere who led a team of experts to assess the volume of gas and crude reserves in the Anambra River basin as well as gauge the preparedness of the state government in the establishment of an indigenous refinery through its oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources, said the team was impressed with what it saw on the ground.

His revelation was coming on the heels of a confirmation by the Managing Director of Orient Petroleum, Engr. Nnaemeka Nwawka that a large hectare of land for the construction of the refinery which would be sited at Otuocha in Anambra East Local Government area of the state had been mapped out. Nwawka added that the only thing delaying full acquisition of the land is the state governor's signature on the certificate of occupancy (CoO) for the land.
According to Onwumene, his team's visit was a preliminary move which has to do with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the area, the level of land acquisition promised by the governor, and the examination of the extent of work done so far by the Orient Petroleum Resources.

Onwumene also said he and members of his team were interested in seeing that the exploitation of oil and gas takes off earnestly in the state and expressed his team's satisfaction on the state's preparedness to accomplish their exploitation. He said Anambra State had three sources of oil supply which included, the existing local reserve from the Brass/Agip, import from Venezuela as well as the already discovered wells at Oroma-Etiti in Anambra West and Otuocha in Anambra East council areas of the state.
Onwumene said his team found that the state's oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources had maintained good relationships with the host communities, especially those bordering where the refinery would be sited. He added that with the take off of exploitation of oil reserves in the very near future, a lot of jobless indigenes of Anambra State would be gainfully employed.

By calling you a troll he was not being polite,the joke is on you.

adconline:
Hate how this debate turned to a tribal tirade.. This should be about post oil outlook and economic viability of Naija states..

jstbeinhonest:
Just go,Go and troll someone else,ok?

adconline:
Bro, Ogun is a manufacturing hub for companies like Unilever, Nestle.. But state managers have left the state with huge debt.. Right now, the state has a negative cash flow. It spends more than it generated!!

Go to Ogun state and Oyo state without blindfolds.

TheDevilIsALai:
If I earn 100,000 and have to pay 5,000 to service bank debts am I poorer or more indebted than a man who earns 10,000 and has to pay 4,000 monthly?

Use your brain.

Apart from Lagos none of the states in your region come close to the ND.

And with all honesty can you say that Baylsans are poorer than Osunites who are facing an acute famine than even those in the ravaged NE?

Admit it ! Your people are only barely slightly better than your almajiri cousins from up north.

How can civil servants require food aid from churches and FERMA ?

That is what happened in your osun.

The sw are one of the largest producers of cassava,palmoil and yams in nigeria.
