Its true that igbos are industrous but Igbo's don't own 80% of bayelsa economy.
I am sure of that, they only repair phones at tombia junction and I won't call that 80% of Bayelsa economy

And you are.................(which survey survey company are you representing)

laplace12:


Show me a property in your house you didn't buy from an Igbo man.

Do some inventory bro.

Best answer

Let me ask the writer, did these ibos bwho own properties in the north acquire it freely.....I mean did the northern state governors allocate those lands free to them or did they buy and leased them?

Secondly, have they been going around raping, killing and robbing the indigenes of their valuables and invading their lands forcefully, even as they openly carry AK 47 riffles to intimidate their hosts

Sammy07:



I don't know of other regions.

BUT not SOUTHWEST

Economy is not only buying and selling of electronics, and second hand phones and parts.

For every Igbo man selling any of those in any towns SW, there are hundreds of hundreds selling similar in The same town.

I don't know why people think economy is solely based on Buying and selling of second hand clothes and spare parts.

Who controls the Music, Movies, Arts, Education, Plywoods, Techs, ICT, ceramics, Building materials, Tourism, Agriculture etc?


Lol, ECONOMICS should be a major.course to be studied in South East

In each of the bolded above, Igbo people still dominate.

Igbo people study economics very well so don't bother.
If you check the stats on every exam plaform in the country in the past 15 years, Igbos have been dominating.
It is not the kind of record people like you who are fixated on other peoples successes would like but its a fact and facts don't care about your emotions.

U just writing rubbish let there b peaceful separation let's see if Nigeria no go collapse, mind u I base in the north,Igbo ve good investment all over the world not just Nigeria.

pacespot:
The moment the northerners started questioning Igbo business influence in the north and talking about taking over their properties, that is when Nnamdi Kanu and his Biafra agitators shot themselves in the foot. The fact is that igbos cannot afford to lose their businesses across the country in the name of Biafra or allow any policies to be put in place that will jeopardize their businesses across the country, this is the major economic model and advantage the igbos want to maintain over others in the country, and some of them, the greedy ones still want biafra on top. Imagine controlling the critical economic sectors of other countries while you have your own separate country, biafra. They probably gave Nnamdi Kanu up knowing that his agitation is putting igbos businesses in danger. Nigeria doesn't even need to worry about biafra or IPOB, saying they will stiffle igbos out of markets around the country is enough to quell any agitation for biafra. The truth is that the igbos cannot afford to stand alone as a separate country without setting up their businesses in other countries.

athaboi:
In 2018 I was in a place called kontagora in niger state...is one of the extreme end town of niger state bordering kebbi state. That place is local government of the present government of niger state abubakar Sani Bello! The biggest and only decent hotel called JAMAL is owned by an igbo man. Igbos has a settlement there called dadin kowa...they buy land and build decent houses there, built a big Catholic cathedral.. they control their local market, building materials, spare parts and other commerce in that place. Imagine doing this in far away kontagora in niger state! Is just a fact that these guys are controlling retail business in Nigeria even though the percentage may not be up to what the writer is putting up

I discovered the same in Azare in far far away Bauchi. That was way back in 1988!
I stayed many years in Abia, precisely Aba. My brother from the East who I still love till date should know how hard it’s to get even a plot of land to buy if you are not an indigene. Even for the indigene, you know what you will go through to secure a land! But we love them. The likes of Kanu who never really stayed long at home are the problems with their warped perspectives of Nigeria. Nigeria had been there now for only 60 something years as a Nation. That’s just a dot in the time space of a Nation. Buhari that you all hate will soon finish his tenure and if not for the way self determination agitation is being pursued, sooner or later the people from East could also be given the opportunity to control the country. I dare to mention that even in America where there was similar agitation which unfortunately led to war there. It took almost hundred years to produce a President from the anti-federalist Zone. History is there.

If you say "not southwest", then you are either being economical with the reality or you are not abreast with events.

All those areas of business and economy you quoted above are largely controlled by the Igbos. The Igbos have industries all over the nation. Their very nature enables them take risks and make large investments that profit them in the end. You failed to include pharmaceuticals in your list. We can safely say the press is dominated by people of the southwest while oil is in the hands of the people of the north.

Igbos have massive industries with investments in automobile, ceramic, machinery, etc. You may wonder why it is so. I can fathom only one reason. It is MARGINALISATION. The Igbos would rather build from their pockets than wait for government. They are gifted with that extra eye that enables them see beyond what others see financially.

Go to that your abule you will find one Chukwuemeka running a chemist shop. They rent their rooms, in a little time purchase lands and reside permanently there. In residing in those abules, they make their contributions to the great of their new environments.

In the southwest you surely cannot maintain that the Igbos do not dominate. The leading pharmaceutical industries are owned by who? Etc. Please do a little survey and check your facts again.

Lion heart is owned by who? Now check the list of richest Nollywood Actor and Actress. Then come back bro. There is no fact in anything you said unless you back it up with stats.

Sammy07:




SW doesn't control movie yet highest grossing income Nollywood movies are from Yoruba people.

SW doesn't control Agriculture, Yet South West leads in Agricultural produce in The entire SOUTH.

SW doesn't control Education yet top 10 best universities, polytechnics, and tech schools More than half are based in SW and owned by Yoruba people

SW doesn't control tourism, yet none of your region generate as much tourism as Redemption camp, Living Faith Camp, Deeper life camp, synagogue camp.


I don't argue with clowns, table ur facts if you beat south west in any of the above.
I guess 2 by 2 shops generate more income and foreign investment than those above.

Clowns everywhere. Aguleri bear parlous gist everywhere.

Everything in the News is true. But won't stop the agitation for Biafra, which one is paining you, the fact in the article or what?

yorubarere:
Dailypost a Fulani paper now pressing ipob mumu buttons after arresting their son. Who says Fulani ain't smart?

They achieve 2 things with this asslicking.

1. Show Igbos they stand to lose everything if they breakup.

2. Take their eyes away from their son rotting away in a Fulani jail.

Wonderful

If South-south and Southeast are given semi autonomy I am certain that in one year Igbos will build up to 10 refineries and start exporting to other parts of Nigeria.

allow them with the fake stats usually dished out from time to massage the ego of the Igbos. Imagine Abuja that is owned by Gwarri's and Hausas now claiming in this report to be 70% Igbo ownership. meanwhile the top richest business men in Nigeria are Northerners followed by the Southwest. we all know why they are using this statistics to give the chestbeaters a boost to their ego. the same Igbo that says the Hausas and north hates them? how come they own the north and still cry marginalization I just don't understand this people.

It is definitely not difficult to buy properties in the SE. The truth is that our brethren from the SW still have the mentality that Igbos east humans. They run away from the east because of this wicked story given to them by their great grand fathers. They tell other people of other ethnic nationalities to keep away from the east.

On the other hand too if you cannot purchase lands in the east, why not push the blame to the military and politicians? Do you know that Kogi state is the size of the entire southeast? With such wickedness, how do you expect the people to sell the lands which are not adequate.

If Igbos sell fake things, start selling original, except you are a nonentity and a dullard join together.

dederocs:
Parasites, if dem get biafra, hope they stay there. Ibos gain from Nigeria, we gain nothing from them, they sell fake things.

Oluomo boy, is the fact paining you? Or did IPOB ask any member of your family for donation or sponsorship?

TheSupleemLeada:


Abokis understand the flatin0s..... break their balls then rub what's left...look how the loosers are already wankking on the thread. Meanwhile all their wealth can't get them their biafra.

Stop crying for Igbos, we know how to handle our case. The article is true but won't change anything about Biafra agitation

Truth234:


This is a government sponsored propaganda to psychological calm their nerves per adventure they wanna fight back.

It tells them they have more to lose but as usual, these people will fall for it because it helps their ego!

And after all these analysis, one will look at them and call them dot... as it stands Nigeria need igbos more than igbos needing Nigeria... biafra is dead agitation for igbo Nation begin... Niger Deltans should feel free to go with Nigeria we no even need them... Natural gas at Egbema is trice the quantity of gas deposits in entire South South region... so who depends on motherfuckers for survivors

You are the fool bro, the write up is fact, and I know it pains you. Deal with that.

About Biafra, nothing can stop the Agitation, not even Nnamdi Kanu arrest

Gbagura:
Fulani understand mind games than anyone. They release this gibberish to dissuade igbos away from thinking properly. Igbos suffer like minor group and yet they are a major group. Any igbo believing this media brainwashing is a big FOOL.

Chai!

My Igbo pple and lack of sense.

They are setting u guys up for economic genocide & u're here beating ur chest saying it's true.

Pple react to news,when dy start refusing to sell properties,rent space or patronise Igbo businesses across d country U pple will start wondering what happened.

Debunk this news now! and push ur own narratives.

Various ethnic groups control different sectors of the economy.

Hausas also have Sabo's in most towns where dy trade in goods exclusive to them.

The reason why Yorubas and Hausas own few landed properties in Southeast and other regions is because they don't like buying land at high price. In Port Harcourt for example Igbos from Southeast have bought up to 80% of all lands sold by natives leaving all other Nigerians only 20% to share. Nobody can accuse Rivers people of refusing to sell land to Yorubas and Northerners but sold to the highest bidders who happened to be Igbos repeatedly. Urhobos are also property investors like Igbos but their population is small. Urhobos own more properties in Port Harcourt than Hausa, Yoruba and the entire North combined.

u are correct, but d reason is simply because:there land is highly unproductive and almost cursed. so they are very aware that nothing can work there

Airport Agreed but not retail trade.
Even the Airport, SE has only Air peace and we have Ibom air or so. (so I don't fully subscribe to that)
Retail trade only add less than 15% of the economy and not only SE controls it.


Banking is not peculiar to igbos

Which Ibom air you de talk about first

This is a stupid post. Igbos r Nigerians, n like other Nigerians live n thrive in Nigeria. This is a stupid post meant to divide this country along ethnic lines. Igbos hold no economic positions of sort. Economic positions r evenly distributed, r there not yorubas, n hausas trading, in food, cloths n other commodities? Abeg this is d kind of useless hype that brings about divide. can d igbo thrive without d yorubas, n hausas? No! cause we r all together n ve bn thriving together.
