So what is pursuing them from their land? How can 80% of people live outside their region? How is that even statistically possible when it’s not like they are previously stateless people?

Kano is up there. When they say Kano have bad statistics, you don’t usually say the Ibos living there caused it.

But then it’s good statistics, then it automatically turns to Ibos there caused it.

Even someone with the lowest IQ in the world won’t have such deformed logic.

Ttalk:
Agreed God blessed your people that escaped your barren land that's why they are able to subscribe to internet, but what happened to your people back home why is it difficult for them buy 200naira data?

mrvitalis:
IMO is the productive state in Nigeria via GDP per capita... So ur point?

Ttalk:
This topic is about Nigeria Internet Subscribers by states.

Why is your region lagging? Does IPOB ban them from using phone?

Ojiofor:
I did not say 80% of our people live outside SE read again I said probably 70-80% of members of this forum from SE may live outside their region. Say what you like every Nigerian know the presence of Igbos across Nigeria is undeniable from south to west to east to north they are there.

mrvitalis:
a significant population of South East productive age bracket are outside the South East even if you say 50% that changes those figures

And that's why the GDP of States like IMO and Anambra become highly impressive

LegendHero:
What is pursuing them from their region? How can you have high GDP and keep escaping to area with low GDP?

Does that even make sense to you?

Sometimes when you guys talk, I imagine a situation where someone just program nonsense and then deploy your people over the internet to regurgitate it.

mrvitalis:
Asking that question shows you have no idea how money is made Lmaooo

There are Chinese, Europeans, Indians in Nigeria do you ask them that question?....

Does mobile. Coming here to invest means nigeria is better?

People pay money for two thing ignorance and laziness ...where you have lazy and ignorant people with money or resources surely you would see investors like igbos

LegendHero:
No, I know how money is made because I’ve made enough money for my young age.

—Chinese move to other area to invest BUT the population of Chinese in China still outnumber their population outside. ONLY 0.7% of Chinese live in diaspora, so this argument shouldn’t be used by you. How can you equate 0.7% to 50% Ibos like you claimed?

—Chinese truly have money. When China move to an area, they come with capital. Ibos living in SE are poor people who come to Lagos living witn their families. Some selling fanyogo, some gala hawker, some doing slave at cloth selling shop, and some hawking okirika. How can you compare that to Chinese?

LegendHero:
It’s a lie, aside Lagos in the SW, Ibos are don’t have any statistical strength in any of the other states.

When you say presence, you have to quantify with numbers. Are you saying there are 500k Ibos living in Oyo state or you mean 1m Ibos are living in Ogun state.

I grew up in multiple places in Ibadan, I can count the number of Ibos I encountered all my life including those in my secondary school.

What give the false number sometimes is because Yoruba generally see any tribe outside Edo as Ibos. So even a person is Ijaw, we say Ibos.

No one in this life can tell me Ibo population in Oyo influence anything. I mean ANYTHING!

mrvitalis:
Lol igbos move within nigeria same way Chinese move within China

I used India too

Capital can be money or skill or knowledge.
U didn't do that in school?

Ojiofor:
You are deceiving yourself Nigeria is way bigger than southwest and ndi Igbo have significant presence in every state of the federation..

LegendHero:
Oga you are saying nonsense. Only 32million India are in diaspora, which is roughly 2.21% of their population. How do you then compare 2.21% to 50%?

Lol, which skills do Ibo have? IT, artisan, commerce, business, or what expertise exactly?

You mean skills is importing fake good and medicine and selling it? What skill do you need to sell okirika?

Oh so how do counties move within themselves before? Why are you derailing argument by saying Chinese move in China? Are China a constituents of over 140 tribes like Nigeria each with their own ancestral space? Han Chinese alone is 90%, so how do you compare to Nigeria with like 6 minor-major tribe each with clearly defined space?

Mrfeel:
A huge population of SE live outside of south east, to still have such numbers in south east is impressive

JagabanBorgu:
Over 5m people live in Anambra, another 6m+ lives in Benue, if I mistakenly say Benue is richer than Anambra, u all will Iabel me all sorts of name because we know Anambra is more richer than Benue, how is Benue ranking ahead of Anambra in this?

LegendHero:
I can only speak for the SW coz that is my region.

SW has three states in the top 6, so if your argument is that the Ibos inflate the number in those zones, then that means you are also implying the SW.

Real life statistics prove otherwise. How can any informed person say Ibo influence Oyo and Ogun statistics?

LegendHero:
Just as Yoruba have third generations born in Niger and Kano. The question is that, what is their numbers.

Are you telling me Ibos make up 5% of Oyo state population? 10 %? 20% or what?

@the bolded, you and your people are the one making that claim.

Ojiofor:
I don't know what their % may be in those places but the point is that Igbos are resident in other regions more than any other ethnic group.
Do you this dispute this very fact?

LegendHero:
Lol, you are not well learned. Irish population outside their region was mainly due to famine and poverty. As in FAMINE & POVERTY.

So when most of them migrated then, they already have children and generations and became nationalities of their respective escape countries.

Are you saying hunger and economic depression led 50% Ibos to migrate out of their region?

@the bolded, stop doing strawman, stop comparing uncomparables.

LegendHero:
I dispute the fact. It is not true.

Northerners population in Oyo state for example outnumber those of the Ibos.

If you’re talking region, Yoruba population in the North Central is more than Ibo people population.

mrvitalis:
Igbos population outside South East happened after the war... We needed to go and use our skills and knowledge to make money from ignorant or lazy people like your people

But yet the people left behind are still. More productive than your people

Ojiofor:
Yes because you have indigenous Yoruba in north central.

LegendHero:
lol you’re lying to yourself and you too my bait.

Before Biafra war, Ibos have always live outside their region. Why do you think the concept of abandoned property come from and who are those people that were mudded in the North that Ojuku told to return back to their region? Your region have always been synonymous with less productivity and the only saving grace then was the Eastern minorities clubbed into Eastern region.

Poverty has infested every nook and cranny of Iboland and the ones that escaped end up selling fanyogo, hawking gala, doing crime and fake food, to the extent that your people constitute the largest number in diaspora prison out of any known Africa tribe in the world.

If I am from the SE too, I will lie to myself to belong. If 50% of my people escape daily from hunger in our region, I will be defensive as you too.

mrvitalis:
How can a place u call poverty infested have higher GDP per capita than your place

Do u even understand the concept of GDP per capita?

LegendHero:
GDP from which source? Haven’t we discussed this ? Even your own data says estimate.

How can a poor region boast of high GDP? Also why does the high GDP not attract more people to stay and prosper in those areas?

Do people Migrate from low GDP to high GDP area or vice versa?
