Dear
@NgwuNgwanu
,

Thank you for your feedback. Let us put things into perspective. We love our Igbo brothers and sisters. However, it is not right to call us, non-Igbos "useless". We do appreciate your mercantile and hardworking nature, but we are not so useless.

This week, for example, Anambra passed a 2024 budget of ₦410 billion. Enugu passed a ₦521 billion budget. Abia budgeted ₦567 billion (of which 70% is to be borrowed). Imo passed a ₦592 billion budget, even as Ebonyi passed a ₦202 billion budget.

If you combine the total budgets passed by the five Southeastern states, it is not up to the ₦2.2 trillion budget passed by the Lagos State Government. And unlike those five budgets, the budget passed by Lagos is mainly sourced from internally generated revenue.

Yet, despite this, you don't see Lagosians or Yoruba calling others 'useless'.

On a per capita basis, Igbos make more money in Lagos and the Southwest than in the Southeast. You can also trade on Mondays throughout Nigeria, except in your home region.

There are over 30 Igbos elected or appointed into government in Lagos alone, including Representatives, Commissioners and LGA Chairmen, amongst others. When you add the entire Southwest, that number increases to 50. Northern Nigeria followed the example of the Yorubas.

There are Igbos elected and appointed into various political positions in Northern Nigeria, including Chidebelu Ewuzie, a Special Adviser to the Gombe State Governor, George Dike, a Special Adviser to the Niger State Governor, Kester Ogualili, a Special Adviser to the Borno State Governor, and Cyprian Nelson Len, an Igbo man who won a House of Assembly seat in Taraba, amongst others.

How would you expect them to feel as you call them 'useless'?

Maybe this hate you claim others have for you is actually the reverse?

Thanks again, and may God [center][/center]bless you.

Lmao. Imagine who is talking about Igbos.

Same Igbos that warned you Yorubas against a failure like Buhari and yet you guys supported him till he sent all of us back to 1930?

They also warned you about Tinubu and una no gree hear the truth that Bola is a failure.

Who now hates the truth with this analogy?

Because they don't care; they hate the truth.

IGBOS ARE NATURAL BORN INGRATES.

Know this and have peace (and wisdom) in your dealings with them.

Your FATHER, your MOTHER plus all of you in Igboland na Mumu!

IDIOT!

They carried their rubbish to Ghana one time like that and were insulting Ghanians, calling them lazy and all sort of unprintable names till the Ghanian government stepped in, locked all their shops and slammed heavy fine on each and every one of them. Then they started begging.

It's even the 'lazy' they love to call others that I don't like.. like are you mad? Na your papa dey feed me or I come your house come beg for food?

They are lucky other Nigerians are just peace loving if not their businesses would have folded up long long time ago.. you no go sha force me to patronize your business, carry am go sell for your tribesmen in biafra.
