Onitsha Lorry Motor Park, 1960s The lorries themselves, parked en masse, an agglomeration of woodworks and steel machinery reflecting a prime feature of African private enterprise of this time. Onitsha lorry owners — entrepreneurs strongly invested in fixed capital goods — were busily building a local basis for industrialization. Nearly all of the vehicles you see here are finished in Nigeria: local businessmen purchase Mercedes-Benz chassis, for which local African carpenters specialize in manufacturing general-purpose wooden bodies. 14 Likes

They were all bombed and purposefully reversed to Stone age. Their policy? Bomb everything standing and when it seems that couldn't win the war, they decided to commit genocide by bombing everything that moves and applying international embargo on food stuffs while still air raiding and combing the remotest settlements in the region on daily basis. Eastern Nigeria shall rise again. The days when the FG policy of underdeveloping the region was working has started crumbling. Sooner than later, busy international maritime activities will abound in the region with many busy functional international Airports. The days of unmitigated emigration will soon be over. 124 Likes 4 Shares |

[quote author=Lovesdaisied post=36547533][/quote] It is of general note that there's always massive migration to more economical viable location; reasons for the massive immigration of Africans into Europe/America *now Asia and Aussies.

adekzy: @adekzy: i understand your argument and i also reason same way with you but some stroke my mind. the resources of a region might not be enoff to develop the entire region hence some will have to migrate to regions to acquire more resources. i.e i tot about the jews of old, they were everywhere b4 the Nazi maffian fulfilled the prophesy now see the chinese despite being the highest growing economy, they cant do with out africa. and so on. i the problem was disunity in.the land, no similarities in culture among the 3 major ethnic groups. 23 Likes |
