That simply war antics. You can be fighting your enemy and still be giving him food.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
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.

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.

Despite all the assertion you've made, the ibos keeps throbbing those region(N&W) as there's also indication of massive immigration from the eastern region to the North and the West in search of what *Supremacy?* or greener pasture from a region that you more advance/educated than.

*Imp, It should be other way around*



My question now is what went wrong with the Alaigbo/Ndigbo Nation? Why the wandering spirit and neglect of it intellect people and advance hospitality region?

Kindly please educate us.

Thank you.
why did europeans migrate en mass to Africa, evn settling permenently in South Africa? Why did they also migrate en mass to the Indian islands now called America? Economies a build through expansionism by taking advantage of ppl u are beter than. The flawed arrangement in nigeria favour u 4 nw, u cn easily get lions share frm free oil and stick ur lazy ass one place and yarn dust. If u stay on ur own, hunger will wipe u out if u dnt travel around to places wia u hav advantage over

monies were seize given them £20 no matter how much millions you might have banked with Nigerian bank.
LOL. Millions right? How many Igbos had millions of pounds banked in the 60s? Wait, let's even start with thousands. How many had thousand banked? Wait a minute, let's start with hundreds. Maybe you don't know the average annual salary at the time was not even up to £20.

Ohhh! Nice to know that Igbos are colonialists. All hail the Supreme African Race (even if we never heard about you till the 20th Century).
