@O.P make ur point bold
Seems there's something I'm getting wrong, I think you mean to say it cus of the Igbos present that's making lagos progress, have you forgotten we have other tribes here in lagos, and I think you are trying to say without the Igbos south west can't progress

Bridget95:
Igbos, it is time you stop planting your investments anywhere other than the southeast. You can make money elsewhere but send the investments home pls.

My point is simple millions of igbos in lagos, making money and spending it buying land and building house is plain stupid. Even northerners in lagos are not doing that. Bottom line there is nothing wrong with making money all over Nigeria but forgetting ur homeland is plain stupid.

Obaaderemi2:
You ibos just enjoy saying nonsense. Does Anambra not have millions of ibos? Why is it not developed?

MadamExcellency:


Anambra and any other Southeast State never existed after the genocidal Civil War.

Those States started from scratch after everything that moved or was standing were bombed including hospitals were degraded to ruins. Give it them how far they have come.

Obaaderemi2:
All that transformation was possible because the rest of Nigeria especially the yorubas opened their arms to the ibos and encouraged them to prosper by giving their children the same opportunity as Yoruba children in Yoruba public schools. It might interest you to know that until around 1980 Ibadan had a bigger population than Lagos and had more ibos than Lagos. Then don't forget federal government monthly allocations. So the Ibos didn't do anything spectacular.

I believe God is about to do something that is beyond the understanding of any Nigeria, with the IGBOS. The way the IGBO matter has flooded the social media and other news outlets after this elections, tells me that something is about to happen and what it's, I can't fathom.
I pray to God, that it turn out to be something that will glorify God and put smiles on the faces of all Ndi Igbo.
People, especially those of the SW, have forgotten, where the IGBOS were before the war. They talk about IGBOS, as if they Igboman is a small fry in Nigeria.
I'm not surprised, because the progress and development of the IGBOS came to them as a surprise.
A people that lost over 3m people in the war, were economically written off, given only £20, out of their millions in the bank vaults, made to look like nothing, 50 yrs after becoming this prosperous, to the extent that there's no nook and crannies of Nigeria where they're not and doing very well, without being at the center, holding political power to influence things in the region for themselves..
Dry bones shall rise again. I pray to God, in my life time, the rising sun will rise, and shine brighter than before. People watch it, it will happen very soon, because OLUWA is involved.

Stop playing the victim, no one has the monopoly of God.
God created everyone and he is a merciful God. He gives everyone despite our iniquities. God will certainly lift everyone up and no one will be a bigger to anyone.

Period

And why should they invest in the yeast when it will only breed jealousy, envy and kidnappers on them?

Igbo land offers no sustainable growth .

There is no wealth generated in Igbo land .

States like Kaduna, Kogi that are far removed from both the sit of power (Abuja) and coastal ports (Lagos) enjoy renewable wealth through agriculture and industry . This is why you will find a rich cashew farmer in Kogi or a rich cotton farmer in Kaduna. Wealth is directly added to their economies from simple agriculture . This puts money directly into their respective economies from local economic activities.

In Igbo land nothing of such exists. The Igbo man needs to venture to Lagos to get imported leather to sew sandals and sell in Aba - something that can easily be replicated in any other state. Onitsha market is 100% dependent on Lagos ports using forex hitting from oil exports from the Niger Delta .

There is no real wealth in the SE. It is for this reason the Igbo needs to venture out.

Igbo land is a cursed and God forsaken place

Why build a mansion in your backward village that will depreciate in value and even if you want to sell it as a second hand house, nobody in their right mind will buy.

Igbos invest in Lagos and other state real estate because it is bound to appreciate unlike in Igbo land that the only thing that appreciates is vacant land. Speaking about vacant land, you could get a very cheap land in places like Kaduna suburbs that you are sure will appreciate. But in the yeast, that same plot of land will cost you an arm and leg in one backward village that has zero road network and is plagued with criminals.

The average Igbo man who invests more outside his Goshen shetle ,is not foolish. He knows it isn't worth jackshit to waste money in one evil forest filled with criminals and diabolical bastards who will kidnap, poison or send assassins on you.

Heebo land is the most dangerous and unsafe place to invest in Nigeria.

This is why the average Igbo treats his village like the way a black American negro treats the black neighbourhood he grew up on - he never returns to it when he escapes it.

Such a pity that you were brought up with hatred... You really need to read the post yourself and think properly. No point in responding to my mention because you are a kid and you don't know what life is.

Go back to your chemistry book and read. You need understand about your school activities

Can you imagine this misguided figure? Replying your post, is a waste of time, because you are a dunce
