In Umuahia the number of northern youth doing keke is surprising. I couldn't believe it when I visited last year

Northern youths? Maybe the ones you haven't chased away, killed and roasted.

The Igbo region which is the eastern part of Nigeria has many potentials,opportunities, wealth, etc. Yet the igbo region is not a migration destination for Nigerians from other regions.

In summary why are Nigerians from other regions not migrating to the eastern part of Nigeria for work, money etc, the way the easterners migrate to other regions?

Are Nigerians scared of the east?

Is there an eastern phobia/ Igbo phobia in the country?
I have been observing this trend for a long.

I stand to be corrected.



If the Igbo land is running away from his region for greener pastures in other region then know that the land has little to offer .

Yoruba people travel, they just don't travel to poor and unproductive villages.

Igbos are not as accommodating as other tribes. Else, how could one justify the fact that the population of Igbos living in Kano State alone is greater than that of all non-igbos living in the SE?





This is simply mindset and when last did u visit igbo land,were u ask to leave,tell us?

Without dragging issues with u. I met a yoruba man in my village in 2008 and he told me that he didn't know that we were good people and that he wants to marry and have his family down there. That alot have been said about us not accepting visitors and nor allowing them to marry our girls. But,it is clear that was not true.

By the time I left for service,this guy had even married our sister and also brought his younger ones to join him in his business there.

Negative mind set has really affected u guys. Sharia is in the North and that has not deterred us from going there to establish businesses but other tribes can't try it just because of negative talks like this.

A visit will explain itself.
We protect visitors in our land because we too are visitors in other people's land. That is why there is an adage in igbo land that says, "A VISITOR/TRAVELLER HAS NO ENEMY."

The truth is you cannot just sit in one ibarapa village in oyo state or one ogbomosho that has close to 0 internet penetration and expect to know what happens in the world.
I can assure you that aside from lagos state (for obvious reasons) no Nigerian state has more diverse population than the five eastern states.
Take out time to travel and stop listening to the cock and bull stories passed down by your ancestors who never moved as much as one mile from home.

Big lie! I personally have witnessed to my very chagrin many instances where aliens have gotten preferential treatment in my homeland, privillages an igbo man will never enjoy in any Nigerian community.

We are a very accommodating people, and that is one of the reasons Igbos are well travelled. We keep making the mistake of expecting others to be as accommodating as we are.

There are probably as many Hausas in the East now as there are Igbos in the North. While Igbos are no longer moving to the North to live like they used to in the past, Northerners on the other hand are now moving down East in large numbers. And I'm not talking about fruit sellers, gate men and shoe menders but faily rich ones. I have several of them as clients. One recently brought his wife down here and she doesn't understand any word in English. I usually see others in banks too making transactions. A Hausa woman who is my client too saw me in my car in traffic and was greeting me and I responded respectfully too. One thing I like about the ones here in the East is their easy going nature and friendliness which makes me wonder why we don't get along nationally.
I saw many of them selling bread at ugwunwasike in ogidi Anambra state, I was like how.

"Just to pepper the igbo"
Victim mentality
Nobody pepper u...u are the one doing urself.
Southeast are least accomodative but they are reasonable anyway.
Not like northerners that unreasonable and irrational due to gross illiteracy

I don't know how you guys get your information. The foundation of the country is built on oppression and exploitation. It's painful other tribes have given up in the aspects of standing up for their right. Politics here is very petty. Nairaland resident zom.bies will flood the site with malicious lies and you guys just believe everything. It's terrible, Igbos are like the developed world who travels to New areas to explore wealth. Those who believe in quota systems and oppression can't survive in the east. All man for himself, nothing like godfather, if you do any them go leave you behind. Please try travel to eastern region just to experience things. Don't believe everything you read online. What is happening in the east is just like someone will flog you and criticize you for crying. The phobia towards eastern is real. It's only a mischievous person that denies it. They will call it victimization, just to make the Igbos relax and get use to oppressive policies. The middle belts that are being attacked daily, why are they not speaking up? So you expect the eastern region to keep quiet like middle belterns and also the like Niger delta region. Successive government have starved the eastern region of federal government infrastructure.

You have just responded like a fool would.
Let's assume that your claims on cannibalism are true, where else have you ever travelled to. Or is the rest of the world filled with cannibals as well.
