I think, the neglect has reached this man,when everyone was shouting neglect since 2015 where was he.


Igbos must rise with ruthless intent and transform the East into the undisputed Research and Development capital of Africa. We proved our genius under fire—during the civil war, we engineered the killing machines like Ogbunigwe, crude oil refineries, palm oil refineries, radio transmitters, rocket guided missiles and other war machines, using sheer will, brainpower, and scarcity as fuel. What excuse do we have now, in so-called peace?

We are still in Nigeria, but Nigeria cannot contain us.
If we could build weapons in the bush, we can damn well build industries in cities. It's time every high-turnover Igbo business—whether in tech, pharmaceuticals, engineering, or manufacturing—sets up R and D headquarters in the East. No more excuses.

Let’s pull back our smartest minds. Let’s train them, empower them, and put them to work building products that fuel our own region—not Lagos, not Abuja, but the East. This isn’t charity; it’s survival.
No more capital flight. No more brain drain. No more waiting for a country that only knows how to marginalize.

Nigeria cannot defeat the East without external collaboration. Not in war. Not in development. Not in anything—if we stop holding ourselves back.
Build in the East. Hire from the East. Innovate for the East.

The mansions are good , we appreciate them ,they have laid a legacy that will make sense till Jesus comes , now we need the businesses, business environments and clusters that will churn our the next palm oil to fuel convert , the next market place money spinning ogbunigwe, the next business miracle that will turn the Nigerian empty marginalization antics to a huge joke. Stop building hotels and start building solar powered business parks, we now have enough hotels .

Utopia..

Are you in business? If you are, you would have known how easy it is to wipe out all those industries with one executive fiat. You can't put the cart before the horse. You must get the politics right before the economics work. Do you know how many innocent millionaires that have been rendered useless with all the dollar rigmarole and high import tariffs? With the burning of markets and fluctuations in fiscal policies? Your worst enemy is the government of your country.. Confront it!

Igbos must walk up to Abuja and demand an end to these endless marginalisation or find a way to end it by themselves. We have the numbers. We have the material resources. And we have the organisational abilities. At a point, you MUST confront. We are almost there. Those who think that these problems can be solved through long grammar don't know what's going on... Power concedes nothing without being forced..

The APC as a political party was formed out of hate. Hate against Jonathan for trying to jail Tinubu. Hate against the south-easterners for supporting Jonathan. Hate against igbos for being elected or appointed into some strategic positions under Jonathan. All that the APC has been doing from 2015 till now is to punish igbos for daring to compete. Igbos have two options to reply; keep quiet and accept servitude or confront and fight a bitter war for freedom..

I think the options are clear enough..

Wake up Bro! igbos produce nothing from scratch. All those things you mentioned had a touch of foreign mercenaries or huge european inputs(for those companies you mentioned later.) Nothing is stopping you though. I'll like to see you transform your region ASAP. cheers

Shame on this ... There'll be no consequences oga... your eyes go soon open well well, keep ur negative support tight 🥺🥺🥺

They used federal government sponsored insecurity to destabilize Southeast and hold the region on ransom.
Federal government's sponsored insecurity since Buhari's tenure is the biggest challenge Igbos have now. Unfortunately some of our wasted Igbo youths are helping them to achieve their devilish plans of destabilizing Southeast and turning it to another Borno

I don't understand the Man- is he complaining for his appointments or
Is Umahi Not a Minister in this Govt Or
Is Bianca Ojukwu- not there,ni?
He should come out Straight!
Besides,iv not seen his works since Appointed as a Commissioner in Lagos State!

Deepthoughts:
I'm so much disappointed with the Igbos over the ipob/ESN activities in the SE,the mindless n senseless killings n destruction of Igbo lives n properties by Igbos themselves because of a thoughtless n fictitious struggle,it would have been understood if all the efforts were strictly aimed at resisting Fulani herdsmen criminal infiltration n attacks or other violent crimes but rather it turns out to be the display of stupidity of the highest order,I use to think Igbos are highly sensitive people but now I have lots of doubt n I'm sure I'm not alone,I may be insulted for my comment but that wouldn't be a surprise either.

Sit down, pause for a minute and think, you may get answers...

5%?

You are quite right, this was why I suggested moving the research and development department, unit or offices to the east.

As someone who has a software making business. I don't see anything wrong in having my software development office in the east ,manned by very skilled IT graduates to make software for the business. The same can be applied to people who make drugs , they can have their quality assurance laboratory in the east where all the test for new drugs can be done. If that is too much for them , then let then invest in fish farms, poultry farms , rice farms etc

I thought this daddy is a Yoruba man, from South West. What happened?

if you don't stop this mentality the south East won't be peaceful. Is unknown gunmen sponsored by the govt? Say the truth when need be.

Years ago I'm a lover of one Nigeria, but believe, my understanding of Nigeria now is that of pity. This country stinks of tribalism, ethnicism and individualism.

Buhari's appointment was lopsided, but this Tinubu's is the worst I've ever seen in a plural state. It's a pity the legacy of OBJ and the military era has been destroyed completely.

MelesZanawi:
The people who need your message are currently in Abuja dancing and eating amapiano at a birthday.

They can be anywhere in the solar system, the message is clear, build your Research and Development in the east. Devote between 1 % to 10% of your profit in it

Only time this man is making sense because appointment no reach am , joe igbokwe lil dummy.

The SA on Sewage affairs is finally making sense. Seems he's temporarily taking time of the gutters

Don't even mind that drivelling sellout who is only recognizing now that he had been doing all the heavy lifting while unqualified yolobas are creaming off.
Olodo repete!!!😜🤪

helinues:


In one hand, South East is the most developed region in Nigeria

In another hand, South East is the most marginalized region in Nigeria

Weather must be learning from this instability

When talking about South East be sensible.

Nonsense!

When he joined the APC and cursed those who criticised him for his defence of policies in Lagos and Buhari's policies, why didn't he complain?

Nothing will happen and rightfully so. It will actually be stoopid for Igbos to continue any fight against the Nigerian state. Let other ethnic groups and regions fight as well.

Salewa97:
Who is Joe Igbokwe?

He is an inconsequential outcasted nobody whose parents are Easterners.

Mandate1:

So who sponsors UGM? How can insecurity continue unabated if there is no political force behind it?

Where have you condemned the incessant incursion of people farmlands and communities by Fulani herdsmen?

As usual, they start making noise when they are no longer in power.

Na today you know that there is south East, and they have been neglected, and there will be consequences? Mchewww!

You can do better.

The only thing lacking in this your post is "Deep thinking".

If you actually listened, you would have read or heard many times when folks warned that the federal government was/is behind the carnage in the east. But it looks like some of you desperately wanted to pin that to IPOB and ESN.

How on earth will the igbos wake up and start killing themselves for Biafra? Make that make sense..

Believe whatever you want to believe, but facts are facts

Well igbos are killing igbos for blackmail,theft,carnage under the guise of fighting got the release of kanu and biafra

😂 another old fool.

Nna anyi Igbokwe etetego ula....wow

Mgbe onye jiri teta ula wu ututu ya

Ututu Oma Nna anyi Igbokwe.

A perfect proof that some people's brain understands reality and or outcome of events too late after their actions and inactions due to inability to understand early must have caused collateral damages.

Igbokwe Insulted Nnamdi Kanu, his own kinsmen and the Igbo tribe at large when they were all speaking up against the SE marginalization. Today Igbokwe is now singing same song he basterdized his people for.

This life get as e be..oo

Ok
According to you igbos are killing people to ask for the release of kanu, right?
So what are your brothers the headhunters killing and maiminng people all over Ogun state for? For fun?
