And you want to fight war in this present world Armed struggle can never get you anything. Rather economic emancipation will get it for you.
Igbo's have inexhaustible availability of vast human resources, not just in Nigeria but around the world. even Nigeria understands our potential. But we do have a big weakness??
Ability in Harnessing this vast human resources. Channeling it for purposeful benefits.
I don't even believe we separate from Nigeria, want we are even saying is justice, equity, making Nigeria work for everyone.

We should first start having visionary leaders/governors with vision to overhaul the economy of South East. Oils economic prowess will be gone in the coming decade, we need to start working towards that.


I don't want to start writing long epistle, but the path to development is plain. The news we ate discussing here is one of them. Developing gas reserves is a visionary move because gas is the future of energy. I quoted in my subsequent contributions that chevron recently acquired a big North America oil company for $50billion because there major priority is now gas and the company they acquired had huge gas assets. Chevron are already positioning themselves for the future. Seplat taking this initiative is a very good move and will benefit South East economy and Nigeria inclusive. Ivheard that Nestoil Ernest Azudislu is also developing huge gas assets towards Anambara. These are men that have eyes on the future,
So our focus should be deep, economic development for our region. Not war.

Lands in IMO and Abia were given to Rivers state. Etchie, egbema, obigbo etc, look at egbema ohaji is in IMO while another part of egbema is in Rivers state. And egbema people are Igbo's. One of my closest friend is from egbema and he explained all these things.


The plight of Igbo man in Nigeria, is like the plight of Israel when they were in Egypt.
A point came the Egyptians expected the Jews to provide raw materials and produce the bricks at the same time. But when God remembered His people Israel in Egypt, Israel plundered Egypt when they were leaving. God told Moses to instruct the children of Israel to demand gold from Egyptians and through that means they plundered Egypt. I remember listening to one Bishop T D Jakes message on this Israel ordeal in Egypt, he said, Israel got her reward for the 400years they served Egypt when they were leaving by demanding for gold. He said it was the sweat of Israel's 400years slavery.

The same way justice and equity is trampled under in Nigeria, but God in heaven knows how to give everyone His reward.
If you marginalize, God knows how to balance the score.

The real scared idiots here is Buhari, APC and their foolish supporters.


Let the court decide the case.

nairavsdollars:
Since he declared that he is heading to court to challenge the outcome of the presidential election won by President Buhari, a lot of APC supporters have been telling Atiku not to go to court.

Is it because they are afraid that he may get justice at the Court ?
