Igbos Are The Only Major Tribe That Developed Their Land by gidgiddy: 4:41pm On Aug 03, 2023
Igbos learnt something very important thing from the civil war, never rely on anyone for your development except your self. So when Gowon was talking about the the R's and rebuilding Igbo land, Igbos did not wait for him or government

Igbos immediately fanned out across Nigeria and the wider world in search of the elusive "golden fleece".

By sheer force of personal will, determination, hard work and business acumen, Igbo man did what others could not do, particularly for someone who just came out of a devastating civil war

The Igbo man built the biggest market in West Africa at Onitsha and made that city the place with highest number of story buildings outside Lagos and Abuja

The Igbo man made Aba the centre of artisans in Southern Nigeria

The Igbo man took a village called Nnewi and made it centre of the automotive industry

When you look across Nigeria, Lagos, Kano, Portharcourt, Kaduna, Abuja, Calabar, Ibadan, Kaduna, they all had to have federal or state capital status for them to get to where they are today.

Ask them anywhere they managed to develop that did not need to be capital, just like Nnewi, Aba and Onitsha never needed to be capital of anywhere, and watch them fall flat on their face


Im proud of my Igbo nation, unlike others, they did not wait for political power or the government of Nigeria, to make things happen

When imminent disintegration of contraptions take place, Lagos will turn into total slum and brown roof enclaves within 2 decades, grin yoruba can't survive without other ethnic groups and the resources from other regions. grin

Imagine what would have happened to SE economy of our business where owned by outsiders... Because 98% of business are owned by igbos even with the issue on ground where u won run go

Unlike port Harcourt n warri that small crisis all the companies left

That's why I hate FDI they are no good for developing nations

if Nigeria divide today South East would be the only region who's GDP would increase ....why because of positive net migration of business..igbos moving their business and money back would grow the economy by 40% to 200%

The OP has a point in saying Igbos developed their region by themselves. Tell me any region where citizens contributed to build an airport. Myself as a secondary school pupil contributed then toward the construction of that airport. Even rural electrification projects in Igbo villages were undertaken by age grade and development unions.

Nothing new. Many of the schools in the SW and other infrastructure including roads were built by Town Unions. Each town has a development union or something similar and they contribute towards the progress of the towns and villages.

The old schools, hospitals, town halls, palaces etc are still being maintained by old students and the development unions/associations.
