This he said is not a lie...

If u listen to soludo very well, u will always here him talk about effort by tribesmen in diaspora... Also the government tries to mk life meaningful for them. During Xmas, new year, Easter when diasporans return home

helinues:
So who are the people dragging money with each other during the recent festival in Anambra state including masquerade?

ariesbull:
Entire Igbo towns have survived, upgraded, and modernized because their people left (Traveled abroad).

Not because of oil.
Not because of federal projects.
Not because of NGOs.

But because Igbo migrants abroad organized themselves and sent development home deliberately.

This is not remittance.
This is parallel governance.

What Actually Happened:
From the 1970s onward, as Igbo men and women migrated to:

•the United States
•the United Kingdom
•Germany
•Italy
•Canada
•South Africa
•Asia

they did not dissolve into individual survival.
They reassembled abroad as town unions.
Same village.
Same town
Same obligations.
Distance changed nothing.

While governments debated budgets, Igbo town unions abroad:

•built hospitals where none existed
•funded schools when public ones collapsed
•graded roads abandoned by state authorities
•installed transformers and water systems
•rebuilt markets and civic halls

In some communities, every functioning public structure traces back to diaspora funding.
No logos
No plaques
No donors’ conferences.
Just completion.

Why This Is Not Normal

Most migrant groups send money to families.

Igbo migrants sent money to villages.

They taxed themselves.
They fined defaulters.
They published accounts.
They commissioned projects publicly.

Failure to contribute was not “unfortunate.”
It was dishonourable.

This was not generosity.
It was duty enforced by culture.

The Part No One Talks About

In many towns:
•diaspora funded schools outperform government schools
•clinics built by unions are the only ones with drugs
•roads built by town unions are the only ones that last

Yet these projects appear:
•nowhere in development rankings
•nowhere in donor reports
•nowhere in national pride narratives

They exist outside recognition.

This is not about money.

It reveals a system where:

•leadership is collective
•accountability is social
•progress is expected, not praised

A people who can:
•self-tax across continents
•coordinate without a state
•deliver infrastructure without aid

are not underdeveloped.

They are under-recognized.

The Question That Should Unsettle Us

If a people can build:

•hospitals from Houston
•roads from London
•schools from Milan

Then what they lack at home is not intelligence.
Not work ethic.
Not capital.


Today in many Igbo villages senior citizens and old people are being paid stipends from #50,000 upwards by wealthy individuals,those that are poor, many homes are built and given to them at no charge, no tax, no mortgage while their kids are taken to be shown the ways to make money ...that's capacity building !

It is alignment. It is self love, it is live for the community and it is live for the ethnicity! It is a testament of those that love and believe in themselves!

And alignment has restored Igbo communities and still do

Obiedun:
This is purely inferiority complex. So no other region is developed or developing? You claimed your land is developed yet you can't stay there for a month. You are running to other land on daily basis using night buses. What type of development is that?

Flangelo12:
I've been to some igbo communities plagued by guineaworm, river blindness, and not a sign of wealth.

Small small with the lies.

Adaisback:
it is not bull crap , it is very true. In my village diasporas dey pay monthly salary to the aged 60 years and above. Say what you know, it's not a must you reply to the post unless you are pained

ariesbull:
name the villages and communities

kaludestiny10:
What the op said is just a fact. Let me use my village for example, we have town unions in all the states of the federation and outside the country called Eziafor Development Union (EDU), what this town unions do is to tax themselves for the development of the community. Even those in the village do tax themselves for the same purpose. Then we also have age grade groups that are formed in my community and at the end of the day, they will initiate a project and execute it for the community. The public schools and health center in my place are community projects and not by the government. Then those that are wealthy on their own do support children from poor backgrounds on scholarships and the rest.

Flangelo12:
Izzi in Ebonyi state

Umulokpa in Enugu state.
