Stomach infrastructure Joe is wailing ....Joe are you from the east? More more gutter stipends and Gutter-Joe wants to play victim.

Are your states and local government not collecting allocations? Which neglect? You destroyed your region. Support criminals now your making noise. Bring it on, you people just like talking carelessly. You know the consequence is not of you will run away when you start what you can't finish.

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?

How does the killing by Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram change the fact that igbos are in the east killing igbos and causing all kinds of mayhem under the guise of release kanu and give us biafra

This man Igbokwe that MNK insulted ?....this Igbokwe doesn't represent igboa. He's a betrayal and a simp. I recommend you guys to listen the clip where MNK insulted this man

Na thunder go fire this man

You go cry tire

They have used you and dumped you

Fool

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.

This is really beautiful and, for the first time, an intellectual departure from the usual NZOGBU NZOGBU threats & chestbeatings of the SE and its people.

However, when you say the region has been marginalised, the question is by whom?

The SE region was in the corridors of power from 1999 to 2015 and throughout those 16 years, not once did we hear any complaints of marginalisation from you and your people.

The region chose to put all its eggs in one basket in all presidential elections since 1999, serving the PDP from 1999 till 2022 and then going wholly for Labour Party in 2023, choosing then to even badly beat up any of its own people who dared express a different opinion by voting for opposing parties.

Why should the ruling party then share out all its offices to the SE that has no time for it, especially one that still hates it to the core today and is still desperate to vote it’s own in 2027? Should the ruling party then leave those who worked hard for it, only to appoint those who hate it and will still not vote for it in subsequent elections? I don’t get it.

I just don’t get these marginalisation LIES?

owobokiri:
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..

I don't think the argument of the superiority of political power over economic power is a correct one. Neither do I think it is a 'chicken or egg, what came first' one.

You certainly cannot try to build one before and over the other. They are both sides of a coin in my opinion.

MelesZanawi:
I knew this is where you will anchor your argument, you criminal.

You want medicine manufacturers to put their QA labs in your hands so you can fake the drugs.

The last thing an Igbo medicine manufacturer will do is move production to the East. That's the end of the business. You criminals are waiting to lay hands on the formula so you can fake it.

Juhel Pharmacy has a factory and industrial plant in Emene , Enugu.

Orange drug has its own industrial plant in Onitsha. Is Enugu and onitsha in the South West ?

If you don't know anything. You shut up and stop displaying your gross ignorance.

Asidy:
Had it been Tinubu is as wise and smart as his payroll employees want us to believe, his lopsided appointment should have carried the whole south (SE, SS and SW) along not only his tribes men. He would have been depended more compared to what is happening today.

If you look at Buhari's lopsided appointment, it cut across the whole north. But Tinubu failed to do that. And his miscreants always shouting north want to deny Tinubu second term because he is from the south. While their actions and inactions shows that they didn't believe in southern unity unless when it comes to their selfish interest.

I tell you this, if there is a region among the three southern regions that fits the northern region perspective, it's the SW region!

Oh boy, that region and its people are completely unfit to be part of the south. They are off the southern grid by a wider margin!

Now you are speaking. Honestly this useless government of Tinubu has been unfair to every other regions except the his region. But the most hit is the south east and the south south

Ok, and pls what consequence if I may ask? Are you talking about consequence to go and uproot Agemo statue in Ijebu and die instantly or consequence of stealing transformers and rail metals and fake killer drugs or what?

The last that can happen is for the country to break and everybody go hin papa house no winner no loser. So pls stop threatening anybody we don't speak same dialect, not same culture, not same religion, not same political stand so don't threaten anybody and just f e c k to hell.

We told you to stop obi and present a better igbo man who is not a bittered idiot like obi una say no its either obi or nobody ok that is fine nwanem pls kindly seat at the car boot then and shut up.

OgaSeun:
LoL.. Joker

Where's the joke?

Go and ask your forefathers of the origin of the word "Igbo made".

They laughed at the quality and shunned it, while embracing Italian, UK, Brazil, America etc.

If the leadership had funded such enterprises who tried to create a value chain, they would upgrade but religion and tribalism was used to siphon the national wealth overseas.

De Joe!!! Is now speaking for SE.... Dede ara àgba lá gị. We are ready for consequences sir... Because you are not in the list, you now realise there will be consequences...
The man cannot afford his bills anymore.
Sir, go to your and give a press conference about this consequences. I want to check something... Atụrụ

Igbos should hold their leaders/rulers responsible. If them give this man ministerial appointment now, him go shut up.

Igbos are a bit one dimensional to be honest. Everything to you all is aggression, hate etc. I can't say I blame you though. If I have been locked out of the topmost position in national politics, maybe I would react that way too. Even though I suspect it's just the way you are.

In my opinion, what you really need is not the anger of the lion, but the cunning of the fox and the smarts of the hare. Not every time ogbunigwe.

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?


Welcome to the club.

that is a question I can't answer. But I'm certain the insecurities in the South East has nothing to do with the govt. Our youths should get themselves engaged in productive activities and leave criminality.

The govt might show little or no concern if you blow-up Ur region, but I'm certain govt has no hand in it. 1 in every 10boys in Nigeria is into yahoo, cultism etc, why won't there be insecurity?

Nnamdi Kanu's style of advocacy birthed the violence in the South East. There are better ways of clamouring for inclusion and common responsibility, his methodology is disastrous.

Our senators and house of reps members, what are they doing? A walkout of the dealings in the national assembly and an agreement not to return unless we discuss Nigeria and agree on a common goal for the benefit of all Nigerians will achieve much more. But they blv in primitive accumulation.

While your points are nicely articulated and action plans well enunciated, I doubt if the Igbo elites( business and politics) and intelligentsia are ready for this beautiful transition.

Politically, none of the South East Governors, appointed officials like ministers, board chairmen, Senators and other ranking guys seem to toe this line. Individualism, zero commitment, and lack of cooperation among the Igbo elites seem to be taking the winds out of the sail of the Igbo question. Senator Abaribe is the lone voice that has been pontificating on the sidelining of Igbos in the affairs of Nigeria. Others in the Senate do not care as far as they are getting their undeserved millions on a monthly basis. If the Senators, HOR members and Ministers from the SE consciously legislate on the need for a viable port in the SE, I can tell you that the shift you are kindly advising and clamouring for will be organic and effortless.

The captains of industry from the Igbo stock do not help either. I used to be in marine logistics and I can tell you that most of what makes the Lagos seaport tick is the volume of commerce originating from Igbo traders. Why is there no FUNCTIONAL port that has proximity to the South East?

Why should an importer of materials be bothering himself with extra road haulage costs from Lagos to Aba, Onitsha, Enugu etc when there is Onne and Port Harcourt. There are subtle ways that legislators can be canvassed by businessmen for a bill or a motion of this nature to be moved. But the truth is, they don’t really care, as far as they glean some profits for them selves.

This seem largely because they are benefiting from the status quo, and don’t want the apple cart to be overturned until they've had their fill.

Individual and self-centred pursuit is the bane of this seemingly utopian transition.

By being cunning as a fox you mean supporting lopsided appointments or clapping for corruption?

I've interacted with enough Igbo people to know the score. That's okay if you think it's beneath you and you can not stoop to conquer. To be clear, I have not asked you to do anything unethical or immoral so your inability to do it just speaks to your not having the skill to do so, even though I know you are not speaking for all igbos. The original post referenced ogbunigwe.

Following your post "Everytime Ogbunigwe " is more or less Everytime bomb
This is me throwing a random guess here but the number of igbos you have "interacted" with are not up to a sample size of 100
Again feel free to make generalizations
It's ok

It is only when you guys are sidelined from the loot in the name of government appointment that most of you start to talk like human beings. If Tinubu had appointed you as Ambassador to DR Congo or Sudan or Yemen, you wouldn't have ever opened that your useless mouth to say this truth, ewu ohia, anumanu, ezi ohia, you better go back to helping them clean dirty gutters

For the love of God,Where are your manners and respect for an elder bikonu? Nobody holy pass. Just pray that God will take the will of this nation once again
