She said what she said and made very valid authentic points. The worst you people can do is to insult her on social media. On Period
Only tribalistic and empty headed folks will concure with her

Imagine, this one is using Google while I am talking from personal experience with family friends established in Ghana.

It's just so funny how you people always argue on something you don't have an idea about
Personal experience without evidence.

Who dash you Igbo?

Do you know how much the government makes from import duties?
Do you know the number of importers from southeast that contribute to import duties?
The highest import into Nigeria for decades now has been fuel...petroleum.
Petroleum importation and its value chain are dominated by Yoruba.
Yorubas import more than Igbos because of the sectors they control but Yoruba will love to export than import.
Okay,Yoruba also have the highest export after oil and this is cocoa.
They tick almost all.

I just answered your ignorance that Igbos import more than Yorubas who only know about politics.
No,sir.Yorubas are in all sectors and doing better in far more sectors than any.
Igbos usual make a lot of noise while Yorubas just control professionally and silently

The question is very stupid. If the igbos leave Lagos alone, that city would grind to a halt. Your electronics, vehicle spare parts, construction materials are largely sold by igbos.
O ya, stop selling the electronics, and let hunger finish your family! Business opportunity for others open be that

My comment has nothing to do with Yoruba vs Igbo.

I am not surprised. When Daniel Bwala talked about brain not working whenever they join APC.

Imagine a parasite asking meaningless question? She's not ashame that money meant for development is used in fighting insurgency in her region.
All these shameless content creators always start their career by attacking Igbos to gain followers then later they then face different topics.

If you don't know, the president of Nigeria can send a bill to the national assembly and get his APC-led houses to pass it if he's serious about restructuring.

Go and thank your stars for the new Nairaland. If not, my response would've been brutal. This moniker has no chill for data boys.
When Tinubu was campaigning, he promised to reform the tax system in Nigeria, now, can you prove Tinubu promised to change the system of government in Nigeria when he was campaigning?

You should be really happy Nairaland is very strict, I know how to put people like you where you belong

This is just big grammar. Tinubu should restructure this country so that everyone will control their resources and pay taxes to the centre. Once that is done, nobody will be asking these kinds of silly questions.

I'm surprised that Tinubu has refused to set the motion for restructuring after calling for it for over a decade. Politicians are horrible people.
You are being myyoppic in your thinking.

Will your restructuring work without Equity, Justice fairness?

Will restructuring work if Boko Haram & Bandits continue their killings & are treated with kid gloves just because we don't won't to offend the North who are 1st class citizens?

Will restructuring work if we don't ban open grazing....

Will restructuring work if there is Nepotism, Quota system & lack of meritocracy?

Matter of fact, the call for restructuring is for sake of Equity, justice and fairness.

Equity, justice and fairness are essential if we intend to continue coexisting peacefully as a Nation.

It's too late for that now... That lone has been crossed already, Biafra is already here. Nigeria will be divided

Funny that this question is coming from a Hausa lady. But since she is dumb, it might help her to know that while the Hausa and Yoruba choose to focus on politics, the Igbo largely control Nigeria's commercial and economic life. This cannot be overstated.
shocked This is big NEWS to me. Please elaborate

Elementary economics teaches us that importation kills an economy and exportation improves the economy. I'm shocked that people who attended universities (I could be wrong about this) are bragging about importation in 2025.

If one government comes in power and blocks the importation of certain commodities and items, you will say that you are being targeted and victimized. If you like learn. If you like keep arguing baselessly.

What I did in the comment you quoted is called constructive criticism.
One sided analysis... Importation kills an economy when the goods in that country can favourably compete with those from another country.

On another note, do you know that government keeps placing heavy taxes on imported products and these import duties give a lot of revenue to the government. Why do you think they don't want the ports in the east to be functional? They only keep creating new ports in LAGOS alone simply because the revenue being generated is out of this world and a huge chunk of it goes to Tinubu.

Don't worry all that is about to end. I'm here to give you the good news that *Biafra is here!*

Nigeria will force Biafra on the Igbos. This is where we are headed right now.
It will start from Lagos. First it’ll be constitutional amendment (live anywhere, migrate anywhere, vote anywhere BS!). Next is for a Lagos Yoruba HOR to move the secession motion on behalf of the Biafrans. The motion will get universal support and THEY will start CRYING 😢 again. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Questions like this are answered with stas and numbers because data doesn't lie. It has nothing to do with the civil war stories.

BTW, I understand that many Igbos carry a lot of hurt due to the civil war. However, you must learn to question everything you were told.

If NNPC refused to drill crude oil in Imo and Abia to keep the South East economy unproductive, why is the same NNPC investing millions of dollars in a JV with Seplat to build the biggest gas company in Nigeria, ANOH Gas plant, in Imo State?

By the way, I am a proud Igbo guy, but questions like this should be answered with 13% derivative sharing formula data to show states whose petrollars are used to feed the entire country.


Who dash you Igbo?
