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.

This message is directly to zinox,T Distribution, Wenco communication, Slot, Nextoil, Beloxxi, Coscharis, Emzor, Orange drugs, and other igbos owned retail chains that has by sheer wit, ingenuity and merchandise out maneuvered their way out of all the obstacles that Nigeria put in business world.

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 .

Devote between 1% to 10% of your profits in your R and D in the east. If this is too much , then invest in Agriculture

Empty headed attention seeker
The way President Bola Tinubu completely abandoned this guy needs to be studied as a course in our universities

owobokiri:
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

LZAA:
Exactly
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
After all some 🤡 still believe the whole east sits at home every Monday

LZAA:
You know this because you have stayed with igbo people for a long time or you have lived in the east with them?
By being cunning as a fox you mean supporting lopsided appointments or clapping for corruption?
I ask you this because no igbo person worth his/her salt will ever do so
By the way ogbunigwe in the context you used it is wrong for your post
That bomb ceased to exist in the 70s
Cheers

ribbit:
More like everyone is tired of doing something for the lazy ingrates who are too mentally lazy to hold their leaders responsible for anything but continue to act like victims for no reason.

Every non-Southeast person that invested in the Southeast has been repaid with bile and insults.

Buhari gave them a 1 billion dollar investment that's worth over 1.5 trillion at today's exchange rate. How did they treat him?

They just want to remain in a perpetual state of victimhood, and it's time for people to ignore individuals like this.

They are kuku irrelevant in the grand scheme of things anyway.

maivd:
Clown, the south east is governed and administered by ibos from the governor down to the ward councillors, no single non ibo blood, but you dimwits continue to cry blue murder. Do you need outsiders to come and takeover ?

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.

Goosethetruth:
LOL.....😅😁😅🤣😂

Chinua Achebe,Cyprian Ekwensi and Uche Chukwumerije did more propaganda on behalf of Ibos in the past than this.
Your revision and upturn of history will not work.
Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa are not misguided people. They are full blown terrorist. They knew what they were doing while engaging in treason.

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..

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.

Confused Joe the gutter cleaner.

Ekpoudom:
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?

Ironbull:
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.

Bintasukai:
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.

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.
