Reno Omokri: Nigeria Recorded Highest GDP Growth When Igbos Returned To Biafria by chopnaira: 9:59pm On Dec 03, 2023
Reno Omokri replies one of his critics on Twitter

Dear Chibueze,

Thank you for your feedback.

Let us test your hypothesis with data. Between 1967 and 1970, Igbos left Lagos and Nigeria, for the ill fated Republic of Biafra, yet Nigeria enjoyed the highest GDP growth in her history during those years. Please fact-check me. The GDP growth rate in 1969 was 24.20%, and 25.01% in 1970. However, as soon as the Igbos returned, GDP immediately nosedived.

The reason is that Igbos import and trade foreign goods, which enriches them personally, while destroying the local manufacturing economy. And without local manufacturing, the GDP will not grow. We will continue being a nation of consumers, instead of producers.

For example, Dangote's Tomato Paste factory had to close down on January 18, 2017, and the chief causative factor for the closure was the importation of cheaper tomato paste from Italy.

Also, many pharmaceutical firms have complained that they are increasingly unable to compete fairly in the Nigerian market due to the importation of fake and substandard drugs, which are pricing them out of the market. If they close down and leave Nigeria, thousands of jobs will be lost.

Secondly, the Lagos State Government recently shut down Alaba and Ladipo markets for being filthy. You will agree that the Igbos in those markets appealed to the Lagos State Government to open the markets, and when they refused, insisting that they had to be in sanitary conditions, the Igbo traders asked prominent Igbos to intervene.

Now, Chibueze, don't you think that that is indicative of the fact that the traders need Lagos more than Lagos needs them?

Chibueze, you and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu may want to consider the facts before making baseless claims about building Lagos to its current state. When you make such claims, you force others to counter you with facts.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

Oh boy. I indeed remember when they sent their governors to come and beg Sanwo Olu. They were also begging Tinubu at the same time.

I just laugh when the clowns say they are moving their shops and chemist out of Lagos. Good riddance to bad rubbish grin

This is beer parlour analysis.

Anybody with a working brain knows that local production goes up thousandfolds during wartime while imports drop = more GDP. Factories producing machinery, fuel, equipment etc needed for war usually experience maximum output during wartime.

It has nothing to do with who's fighting. If Ghana goes to war against Togo today, their local manufacturing will go up and imports will be non existent.



He even mentioned the increase in local manufacturing in his drivel but doesn't know its implication. Chai. grin

He has a point, igbos are liability and parasites really, the import issue, and their one man business only benefit them.

This is quite interesting, coming from you because, the moment any IGBO person put a thread here about IGBOS wanting to leave nigeria sane people will shout no way and impossible, what I expect you to say to this now is that you don't care whether they go or not, and will be surprised to still see you in the same thread threatening fire and destruction should they try it, I believe that if your people are serious about all you are saying, you will not be hating nnamdi KANU because you all know what He WANTS, why you think that IGBOS and the rest of the people are stupid baffles me, personally, I am for this nigeria getting divided into whatever number of counties not because I hate any one group or the other but because, I believe it will be better for 10 people to make a country and have the basic needs of life than to be in a huge country and lack the barest minimum things they need which the poorest country if the world take for granted as the bad condition of nigeria is, people if they are serious about IGBOS leaving should not troll IGBOS but support the freedom of people like nnamdi KANU who seriously want to take IGBOS out of nigeria, and people like the omokiri person should start campaigning for the referendum that IGBOS are calling, how about that?
Do you really want to be together with parasites and liabilities? If you really are not , you should change your pater of hate and trolling and start campaigning with them, but as long as you will start insulting me now for telling you this simple TRUTH, it will simply prove that you cannot do without IGBOS

You are backing at the wrong tree. The push should start from Igbo politicians in HOR and Senate. The states Governors and state House of Assembly members also have a huge role to play and finally, our people should voluntarily return home. Anambra 1st son has been campaigning on this issue like forever.

When you are the ones begging that your shops be reopened. Mbah and Uzondima came to Lagos to beg Tinubu and Sanwo Olu. They are the real unity beggers.

I don't understand why someone will come here empty handed, make money and invest here, then he claims to develop Lagos. Lagos made them and not the other way around.

Your customers are the source of your wealth, but you call them lazy, poor agbero every single day, If we the Yoruba in Lagos are poor, where are we getting the money to patronize you?


Upon all the noise about being the richest, I have never seen any Igbo big man set up a food bank where Yoruba go to eat for free. You rich, you are not feeding or doing any favor for me, you cannot mock me with your riches.

Lastly, Lagos have been a success since before amalgamation in 1914, in fact, the reason why the British amalgamated Lagos with the rest of Nigeria was to use its resources to help other parts. This city would have been greater if it wasn't capital of Nigeria, the capital status gave the economic refugees the freedom to choke it small land scape.
