@OP,
Honestly, Igbo's are hard working people with strong business acumen!
However, it's ridiculous and laughable to hear when igbo's say LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND!

if this is true, then i wonder why they pay d YORUBA OMO-ONILEs for every land the buy here in lagos!

Chai! .... dia ris Goduuuooooooo

herinolah:
Nice post....but dat still won't make me like dem
Igbo people are so so desperate for money..80% is ritual,15% prostitution and making fake things just 5% is clean money from hardwork

And they have some stupid cultures dat should not be heard of..maybe because most of them are not literate...they nearly killed my sis when she got married to an igbo guy..

They got married 2007 but the guy didn't take her home even after 4 kids,my sis should av suspected that there must be something wrong with his family..but she was thinking maybe he is "akudaya"..so she pestered him to take her home..when they got to the place she was welcomed grandly..they had a great feast for her and her kids..then they gave her money to go and buy something from the market,when she got there she started pricing things she wanted to buy..as an ijebu woman she can price ehn,she got to a place and just spoke her language she said (urun ma won bewe)things are costly here oo ..dat was when an ijebu lady dat came to sell things there asked her what she was doing there dat there is a mark on her and the mark is given to any lady they want 2 kill. she explained everything to her and the lady helped her escape...she got a divorce when the guy came back with just 2kids

Then he explained everything to her,dat it is their culture(can u imagine what kind of stupid culture is dat)..dats y he didn't want 2 take her home

Av never heard a good story about igbos,only bad and scary ones,

Igbos ehn I dislike them like shit,I hardly make friends with them,they scare me..they can do anything 4 money

SeverusSnape:
Hmmmmmmmm....
INTERESTING!. The igbos are really enterprising, hardworking and ambitious; they are goal getters. Very peaceful folks. Igbo kwenu!!!

Sheggy13:
But, because of the fact that they are very hardworking, ambitious, and not afraid to live anywhere, or take up any task, they tend to be resented by their less ambitious and successful neighbors or hosts.

Why can't this person just talk about the Igbos without trying to belittle other tribes.. So the people that host Igbos are less ambitious and successful people? What an insult on people from all states and communities where Igbos migrated to.

So yorubas can now claim Delta and Edo too because they have ishekiris and lots of Edo people bearing Yoruba names. They can even claim part of Kogi and Kwara too by this article because they are well represented there.

This is where the problem is. The fact you were allowed to reside, execute your biz in a strange land does not give you claim to those lands else you will be asking for trouble. You will only be showing ingratitude towards your hosts' hospitality

You really need to convince me better not with this write up

I speak as an ikwerre man.
Look let me tell u. Niger delta republic was d 1st republic to b decleared in nigeria in 1966 feb.23rd..even before the so call biafra if you dnt know.(google isaac boro declearation)

Port harcourt was the capital take note.

Continue buying lands but note: we shall chase u igbos out as we did during the biafran war. If u tink Port harcourt and obio/apkor local govt is the only ikwerre local govt den ur reali a fool. be ready to face both ph local govt obio/apkor,emouha and ikwerre local govt wich i knw u igbos cn neva eva do in ur life.

If u tink d ikwerre are alone den u lie.

The ogonis,epkeye,ogbas,etches all parts of rivers are with us.

Keep on buying lands, we the ikwerres are laughing at u because u pple are nt wise. We are nt fools. Wen d tym comes we shall chase u nd collect our lands bak, as we did b4.

The igbos are nt wise bt greedy,selfish and big fools.

This is to tell u how nigerians and oda parts of the world hate the igbos.
You pple are nt good pple and u know it.

Take Note: der are no igbos in rivers state if u dnt know.

I am an ikwerre man. In rivers state the ogbas,ekpeye and etche u call igbos are nt igbos.

Ikwerre people organisation (also know as Ogbakor ikwerre) was established before "igbo people organisation" (Also known as Ohaeze Ndi"igbo) if you dnt know.

If ikwerres were igbos anwers dese few questns.
1. Why did the ikwerres refuse to giv u igbos ur property wen u pple returned bak to port harcourt after d biafra war.
2. Why was Ikwerre people organisation (ogbakor ikwerre) established b4 igbo peoples organisation?
3. If ikwerre was igbos why is our tradittion diff frm d igbo tradition?
4. In ikwerre we call the igbos "osoma" meaning Labourers, why so, igbos ans dis.
5. If ikwerres are igbo we do sum ikwerre dnt sell land nd dnt get married to the igbos.

Mr writter u ar stupid for rewriting my history, and God will purnish u 4 dat.

We ikwerre hv neva nd cn neva b igbo.

Port harcourt is Ikwerre land and not IGBO. Read d full history of ikwerre here: http://iwhnurohna..com/2012/11/a-brief-history-of-ikwerre.html

There is nothing educative nor thought provoking in the write up. It's just a plain write up that portrays a good side if the Igbos. This is the kind of piece you write for a JSS 3 student to read. You ask:
What about igbo culture? You answer: it is rich; one of the most attractive in the world. You ask, what about igbo food? You answer: it's one of the best in the world...blah blah blah...what's new or exceptional in that?
Why not ask: What's the origin of igbo's shrewdness in business or why do people think the igbos are too crooked to transact with? That's thought provoking.
Or ask, why do most igbo boys have flat backhead? That's thought-provoking.

This what it means for an article to be educative/informative: in Yoruba, the following words have same spelling but different meanings. Enjoy:
Igbo - Bush/Forest/Jungle
Igbo - Ganja/weed/Marijuana
Igbo - Head bout
Igbo - A kind of meal made from corn
Igbo - As in omo nna

@OP - I have 4 questions for you & your people.

1.) If the Igboland is not landlocked; Y can't Igbo business men be shipping & clearing their containers at Anambra, Onitsha or even Enugu through the so-called Uguta Lake instead of congesting the Lagos wharf for us?

2.) If there is Oil in Imo, Ebonyi & Anambra; Y then do the Igbos want to kill themselves over the recently discovered Oil in Kogi?

And Y are the Igbos always laying claims to Rivers & Delta States Oil as theirs?

If so, Y can't they confront & challenge Asari Dokubo & Tompolo over the Oil in Rivers & Delta respectively if truly it belongs to the Igbos?

Abi the Igbo are scared that Tompolo will not hesitate to wipe out the entire Igbo population with his newly acquired war vessels?

3.) If the Igbo' calender is indeed accurate, Y did they abolish it & chose to adopt the gregorian calender?

4.) Y do the Igbo wear Yoruba Agbada & Hausa Baban Riga but the Yoruba and the Hausa do not ever wear Igbo National Dress?

Answer: It is not far fetched. The Yorubas cannot wear the Igbo National Dress simply because the Igbos always refer to them [generally] as Amala & Ewedu people, Yoruba & betrayals of Biafra & Ojemba Ojukwu, while also trying to dominate them & steal Lagos from them in addition to calling them cowards.

The Hausas also cannot wear the Igbo National Dress simply because the Igbos refer to all of them as Terrorists, Almajiris, Boko Haram, Pedophiles and most importantly because they support Goodluck Jonathan in his 2nd term bid even when most of their region & people are being bombed constantly by GEJ's faction of Boko Haram [otherwise, how would explain the Alimodu Sheriff's recent exoneration by GEJ & Henry Okah's confession on the October 1, 2010 Bombing in Abuja]?

Note: I have answered the 4th question for you, but kindly answer the remaining 3 questions politely.

Pls let us be civil & not engage in tribal e-war as a result of my questions because this is a New Year.

Gracias!
