South East produced the highest number of senate presidents in Nigeria but you will never ever see that one.

South East = 7 times
North Central = 4 times
South South = 3 times
North East = 1 time
North West = 0 times
South West = 0 times



Yet it is South East that is always crying of being marginalised

Igbophobia:
I used a prompt in a bid to determine the world's most industrious groups debar government funding and intervention and was surprised to see Igbo listed. What is even more surprising to me is that the AI didn't say 'Nigerian' but specifically mentioned Igbo.

Yet una no dey 20 richest black people on earth.
We have 5 or 6 Nigerians in the to 20 richest black people on earth yet no Igbo is on that list yet you guys brag the loudest.


AI responded based on the way you phrased your question. You asked AI to tell you the most enterprising tribe not country and AI responded accordingly yet you claimed to be surprised when it did not say country.

Congrats ... I hope one of your tribe's Forbes list dashed you some money for weekend?

It's good to educate them. Soon they'd start measuring progress by the number of weekend owambe

AustineE1:
Why do you think all this hatred and jealousy from a certain region is geared towards doing everything to bring Igbos down. You must understand that a 'golden fish has no hiding place'.
For this same reasons,this your very educative post will never make frontpage,they control the forum. We move on!

Have you listened to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s "The Danger of a Single Story"? If you compare that talk with the rhetoric surrounding this post, you'll notice something striking: most of the critics come from a single ethnic group—one that has long tried to define the Igbo experience through a jaundiced, self-serving lens. These are the same people who helped the British spin the false narrative of an "Igbo coup," setting the stage for the massacre of millions.

They're the same ones who lose sleep over the success of Igbo businesses in regions they claim as their own—still unable to grasp that the Igbo spirit is unbreakable, uncontainable. Were it not for the rise of social media and the resilience of Igbo nationalists who push back against these lies, the Igbo might well have become Nigeria’s Armenians—if you catch the parallel.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Nigeria, as constructed by the British, is a weapon aimed at Ndigbo. Why? Because the colonial architects saw what many still refuse to admit—an independent, unchained Igbo nation would become another China, Japan, or India in the heart of Africa. That kind of success would completely dismantle the racist mythology of African inferiority.

Just look around Africa: mediocrity thrives, and the Black man is often complacent in the midst of it. Competing with Indians, Chinese, or even Russians? That’s not even on the table for most. How can a nation claim intelligence while recycling the likes of Buhari and Tinubu? Do they even grasp what Peter Obi represents—not just as a politician, but as an Igbo man with vision?

No. And the reason is clear: the average African today lacks strategic vision. Until that changes, we'll keep mistaking noise for progress and survival for success.

Telling the Igbo story. Just look around Africa: mediocrity thrives, and the Black man is often complacent in the midst of it. Competing with Indians, Chinese, or even Russians? That’s not even on the table for most. How can a nation claim intelligence while recycling the likes of Buhari and Tinubu?

Only the Armenians didn't mke this list of known enterprising groups.
