There's very little or nothing to show that the southeast is among the big boys in Nigeria. Big boys call the shots, errand boys obey and deliver the instructions. If you cannot influence national decision politically and economically, you belong to the small boy level and therefore, nobody takes you seriously when you cry.
SE declared a sit-at-home whereby the economy of the region was shut down for 2years running YET Nigeria's economy do not suffer a bleeding, not even a scratch.
In 2021, when Kanu was extradited, Nigeria's earnings was 10trillion, compared to 11trillion in 2022 when ibos shut down their economy. This is just earnings, total revenue is far more. If SW, SS or the North shut down their economy for two months, Nigeria would have been on her knees begging. Nigeria feeds the SE, give them monthly allocation to pay workers and execute projects, the food they eat come from other regions and 99% of ibos irk their living outside SE. So, what is SE useful for?


Will somebody tell this idiot to mind his ewedu guzzling business.......Is the least powerful economy your own business......leave us with our poorest economy nah! Southwest economy is the bigger than America's economy sef....

Nonny95:
Yet they know everything from their huts and mud houses in Ilaje😂

Pakute:
Lol.. Two years running, you shut down your economy yet Yoruba still dey do owambe, hausa\fulani still dey drink fura du nunu. Buhari closed SW border, all of you were crying of hunger and begging him to open border, Lol. Highest revenue from Customs, Ports, VAT comes from SW. If we shut them down, hunger will finish you in SE.

BrodaBenad:
Very untravelled people

BitterTruth0001:
What exactly does southwest contribute to this nation ?
The significant economic activity in Lagos is neither spearheaded nor generated by Yorubas in majority numbers .
The revenue from the ports are mostly from importation of goods and we know who dominates that sector .
The major industries are mostly multinationals.

The indigenous people of the southwest are a net consumer of goods and services and it didn’t start today .
Keep living in denial
You must make another deluded thread today about igbos to continue to showcase the extent of your delusion or else no be your papa born you

Kossyso:
Here in SE, we depend on charity from the UN and other regions of Nigeria to survive. We have no water, we walk barefoot, we clothe ourselves with leaves, sleep on trees because we can't afford common tatch house, and no hospitals, schools, or tarred roads.
We don't even have economy to begin with.
All we want is for you guys to let us breathe. Is it too much to ask?

Nonny95:
8am even without brushing your smelly mouth, na Igbo matter still dey the mouth.

Igbo ahh, Igbo ehh. Dear Ode, Is it an Igbo man that gave you the devilish mark on your face?

CrossRhodes:
You sleep and drink Igbos every day like your life depends on them - it actually does depend on igbos...

Without them nothing for you to talk about, write about or cry about.

Igbos will be your nightmare and your ultimate end.

Pakute:
Yoruba have the largest number in the US,UK, Canada of any tribe from Nigeria. They don't migrate to barren region where its resident run away like war refugees.

nedu666:
Ibadan, Ado ekiti, ota, Ado odo, osogbo, ako baale all these places and many more did not witness any destruction during the civil war, yet when you go there it looks like places coming out from a war. What level if backwardness. Even the lagos you Brag with, millions of Yorubas are struggling to survive yet you say lgbos are running to productive land. Sw is so productive that millions of Yorubas can't seem to lift themselves out of poverty

Pakute:
Stfu with your lies, which destruction did you witness?, tell us. What were those facilities that were destroyed?, schools, hospitals, markets, airports, banks, office buildings, hotels, houses?..mention them, show us pictures!. Stop lying through your teeth everydamn time. Nigeria was still feeding you during the war 6months before the end of the war. you think that's a serious war?. is isreal sending foods to palestine?. Trash!

BrodaBenad:
Go and tell that to your brothers stuck as refugees in Benin


We have huge number in , Macao, Japan, China, Korea, New Zealand, Australia.

You're talking as if UK,US and Canada are the only countries outside Africa. And if you check the gap isn't even much

Even in Germany there are lot of Igbos there
And yes I agree there are more Yorubas in France


Like or not Igbos are by far the most travelled both within Nigeria and overseas


Within Nigeria Yorubas are the least travelled

BrodaBenad:
Bombing of farmlands Market places

3 years is not three months

Even if you stocked your home it won't last

People literally faught on empty stomach


Hunger was used as weapon

There was blockades

And yes the so called supplies were sent around 68

No wise leader will accept gifts from his enemy

We didn't accept any of your gifts . Stop lying


I would respect anyone who put up a fight when their existence is in question

Pakute:
Nonny95, you're a very ignorant boy. Yoruba import from its borders, mostly Rice and frozen chicken/turkey to help mitigate food insufficiency in the country and you don't even need dollars to do that whereas ibos killed the economy importing all sorts of bullshit including toothpick and boiled eggs. Yorubas export fabrics, furniture, iron rods, etc to neigbouring countries of Benin, Ghana, Togo, etc. What does ibos export?..Nada!

gidgiddy:
You mean Nigeria that is world poverty capital and 8th most insecure country on earth? Nigeria is a failed nation and what we we should be talking about is how to hold referendum, disintegrate the country and go our seperate ways

But we know you unity beggars no go gree

Pakute:
We were feeding you 2yrs into the war until we blocked all the food channels foff our territory because Ojukwu was found out to be diverting the supplies for his army while civilians die. Ojukwu was so wicked to his biafran kinsmen that he outrightly refused foreign supplies for the dying biafrans just for his ego and media propaganda.

Pakute:
Go back home first, then we take you serious, how many catalonians do you see in madrid?, how many scotts do you see in england?. After destroying our economy, you wants out... Ibo sense.

BrodaBenad:
See lie na


Are you even listening to yourself


Biafra war was faught using hunger tactics

On level ground federal troops had difficulty fighting Biafra soldiers because alot of the majors and experienced soldiers were from the east
Infact military to military Nigeria were severely beaten they had to bomb markets , civilian populated areas and farms
They resorted to blockade starve out the soldiers

You don't tell me history of my people. Both documented and told by my Dad who was a veteran of both NA and BA

Pakute:
The revenue from the ports is largely from exports. Nigeria's export is 82% excess, far more than imports. Nigeria makes bigger earnings through what we export through the ports and not the fake cheap goods you bring into the country.

gidgiddy:
Why dont you guys announce referendum date so we can can take you unitu beggars seriously? You guys want Igbos to go back home so you can steal their properties and continue with your useless "one Nigeria". That game had been played before

Nigeria is a failed state, we should all come together and agree to peacefully disintegrate, go our different ways and stop giving each other headache

But you unity beggars no go gree

BitterTruth0001:
Lies . Nigeria makes from both exports and imports
What are the exports ?
Raw materials and agricultural produce from the interior of the country, manufactured products from multinational companies, some petroleum products that not shipped via southern terminals are done through Lagos

The importation is dominated by Igbos.

As you can see for both exports and imports , Yorubas have no say there . You people are good at working 9-5 jobs and artisanal businesses.

You better go back to cocoa farming and contribute something to the country instead of living off the proceeds of the sale of your ancestral lands to other tribes

Pakute:
Nonny95, you're just too dull to engage in a conversation. The comparison flew over your head. There's a reason customs is one of the biggest non-oil revenue agencies. Last yr, it generated more than FIRS. SW borders are like beehive.

BitterTruth0001:
No let me help your cure yours… again

Here’s the National Bureau of Statistics for 2022

I will still type it out and add the link

Total trade for 2022 was approx 52.4 billion dollars
Export was approx 26.8 billion
Import was approx 25.6 billion
The difference is only 1.2 billion dollars . How’s is that 82% difference

Meanwhile relating it to the Lagos ports specifically, the majority of these imports were handled from Lagos but the majority of the exports did not flow through Lagos since Crude Oil is included in that export figure . Our oil and gas shipments go through Qua Iboe, Forcados , Bonny, Brass and Escravos by land and through the numerous FPSO platforms offshore.

Idiroko smuggler shurrup abeg.
This one thinks importation is same with smuggling two bags of rice from Benin republic through Idiroko border. Mûmu

Pakute:
Who are the "we"?. Are we your lawmakers that are supposed to push the motion?. 99% of you guys are illiterates, you don't know the process of a referendum. K

Pakute:
Smuggling is when you bring in goods while trying to evade custom duty but as far as you pay your duties, it ain't smuggling. If we removed custom revenue from the allocations to your region, you'd all have to suffer and sink in more debts.
