Medicine after death.

I visited a shop in my community last weekend to do basic transaction and was dumbfounded at the massive scale of goods displayed in the building which was far bigger and more spacious than I imagined from outside.

Investment that should be running into around 900 million or so (vehicle spare parts, greases, lube oils in barrels etc.

In my mind I was like, is this shop not too much for this environment?
But trust the business acumen of the Igbo man who's seeing tomorrow, not today..

Shops and houses are sprouting per week around the area and its only a matter of time before the entire Alaigbo becomes an economic hub.

Anyone who renames any street in Alaigbo to spite ndi Yoruba will be dismissed as a clown.

Igbos don't talk too much.
They calculate, forecast and take actions.

The next thing our national developers will say is that BAUCHI is a no man's land and that they want to have Igbo community and Eze ndi Igbo... Very any how people... grin grin grin
I said it,most of you are local champions,that hardly know anything about Nigeria,Igbos have been living and doing big time businesses in the North for donkey years,from Kano to Plateau,from Yola to kaduna,the story is the same,same as northerners in Aba,Awka,Onitsha,Enugu,Okigwe,Abakiliki, Asaba etc.Every northerner works hard to survive,they have touts and miscreants like every other tribe but they dont celebrate touting and agberoism,which is now a thing of pride in south west,they identify with their individual states,unlike people from a particular region,where everybody comes from Lagos....hoping for crumbs from politicians.

Ch3st beating as usual, hope you know containers are shipped to Kano directly from china. Northern state send their students on scholarship to china with jigawa and Kano state students topping the chart. Hope you also know the business of medication import have markerters headquartered in Kano and owned by Kano indigenes.
I will personally open the north east as that's my origin. Nigerians from all zones are traveling like never before, ask your sincere kinsmen about manufacturing and commerce in Kano 🤷. I contacted a industrial machines manufacturer in china, I was referred to their distributor based in Kano whom was a Igbo man. Many Hausas too have contact too and can speak Cantonese fluently, the Chinese use them as interpreters and are many in northwest and north central states due to mining activities. No dey cap carelessly

Una dey weak person. You call it one Nigeria yet you get angry when a fellow Nigerian claims another part of Nigeria as his home? If you are not honestly interested in a country that we all jointly own, then open up and join those clamoring to split the country.

Igbos are already in Bauchi. Investment and business doesn't care about tribe

Give them 10 years..
They'll start their Bauchi is no man's land chant.
Igbos have been in Bauchi state and other Northern States for God knows when even before going to Lagos and there has never been a time the Bauchi community decided to change the names of Igbo people that owns some streets there.....
So shift your narration to the tribe that are tribalistic and have low self esteem that people who came to be with them will one day take their city....very myopic sense of reasoning..

Irrespective of the ethnicity, people will go where they can make impact and money. People are still going to the north to set-up businesses.

And to enlighten you, this is even the best time some businesses would thrive in the north. Insecurity provides opportunity for some people to make more money. You just have to be ready go through with the challenges.

Some people are making millions of dollars due to the Israel-Palestine war. Same as Russia and Ukraine. Residents and citizens will flee but that's an avenue for some people to make money. It's all about choice.

Re: Bauchi State Government Woos Igbo Investors, Organises Enugu Roadshow by NwaliE01: 4:02pm On Aug 03, 2025
Igbos.. I believe we are not that stupid.

We shouldn't allow history to repeat itself. Atleast, Lagos should teach us a life long lesson.

A word is enough for the wise.

We move on!
Your friends that have been kpaing you before independence and spearheaded the rape fest between 67 and 70 . I never see this kind Stockholm syndrome before 😂😂

Please , pack your bags and leave the south west and go to Bauchi . Don’t let the door hit you on your way out
Re: Bauchi State Government Woos Igbo Investors, Organises Enugu Roadshow by michroskrve: 4:04pm On Aug 03, 2025
Once they get there, they will.be saying Bauchi is a no man's land agian. Why can't these people sit down and develop their region instead of running ul and down like headless chicken like their messiah Obi

How can you imagine that Igbos will...afterwards....claim Bauchi or any other states for that matter?

Don't you have concerns for how you'll be perceived when you make comments like this?Where's your sense of shame bro?

Has Igbos ever tried to contest the Oba of Lagos,or Baale of anywhere,or interfer in Lagos Chieftaincy affairs? Have they ever contested for the governor of Lagos....even though they have the numbers,the money and the Constitutional right?

Just because 2 or 3 non Yorubas on the streets(online & offline) were intentionally misunderstood when they reffered to Lagos as "no man's Land" does not mean it's the position of all Igbos or non-Yorubas.Which well known Igbo,(Organisation,group or individual) has ever been heard talking like that.

It is simply the handi-work of desperate and scared APC politicians in Lagos intent on dividing and conquering the voters(Instead of finding a way to parley with Igbos and take advantage of their voting population,money and social media influence,they choose a self-destruct path)

Anyway,soon somebody like Ambode or a smart Yoruba politician in Lagos will soon cash in on the Enormous potentials of the Igbo and Patner with them.

Bala Mohammed and the Bauchi People are reminding other states how to use the Igbo For socio-economic and political growth.

It is Petty and infantile and unprogressive to keep thinking that Igbos will claim your lands....just like that

Take note bro

I am in the NGO space as well, do you mind if we connect? I've been looking for opportunities in the north as well especially since the project I last worked ended last year
SmartPolician:
I completely agree with you. The best paying NGOs are in the north; thanks to insecurity.
I applied for one that pays in USD and still waiting for the outcome of my application. They will probably get back to us this week. I no mind moving to the north; at least it will help me learn Hausa ahead of my political ambition 😀😀

Interesting? I thought Igbos are supposed to be the ones who dominate people and don't respect their host? Why this?

Well the North has gone the route of Igbophobia and their economy has completely collapsed. They act as though they learnt their lessons but trust once broken can never be repaired. Most Igbo businesses in the north are now small scale. Igbos are learning that home investment is the most secure.

It's the west that is taking over the mantle of Igbophobia from them and, Lagos will pay for it.
Which money do you guys bring from Igbo land when coming to Lagos? Which investment can you people do that you didn't do in your villages? Ask yourself that first! 😂😂

When Igbos come to Lagos, do they bring 1 kobo to invest? After working in Lagos and making money you begin insulting Yorubas who gave you room to thrive, they're even your largest customers! 😹

Your region is totally dependent on Lagos economy and Lagos remains the largest market for Igbo men to sell their goods. Simply put, you're the beneficiaries, not the other way round...

Go and invest in the North, with the transport fare you plan to use for CN Okoli night bus. Body go tell you! 😂

That's a governor who looks beyond the nose. He knows that all the ethnic groups in a country can't be equally endowed.
He knows that in the developed countries, technology and innovations started in one part of the country but spreads to the other parts.

Soon Lagos will swallow up their stinking vomits and come cap-in-hand to beg Igbos to bring back their investments. See massive revolution in housing, trade and industries happening in the whole SE. They will soon learn the hard way.
