Afam4eva: O do egwu. That's not enough reason for zinox to settle in Lagos. Who told you Enugu city for eg or owerri cannot host zinox company? Are more spareparts and tummy tummy not sold in Lagos than nnewi, yet the industries are in nnewi? What of the various Chinese companies that make goods specifically for the Nigerian market ,yet the industries are situated in China? I don't think there is a justifiable reason for that type of excuse. If your products are good, people will come from far and near to access it irrespective of your location. When unth Enugu was doing open heart surgeries, people from Cameroon were even coming to Enugu, same with calabar where the whites do free cataract surgery. 9 Likes |

Most of our people do not understand that fact, while we reduce our leaders like Ngozi okonjo even Dora Akuyili yoruba media is hyping abike dabiri! She appears on every event, they project her to be elevated! While we join them in castigating Aruma oteh n Ngozi, Adaeze.. etc The only difference between we igbo and them(which is crude), is we emotionally protect our own, while they use newspapers tv and radio to protect their own (which is strategic) .. If we have media today, they wouldn't be writing rubbish against our people. I don't know why ndigbo do not want to invest in media!! I know that anything ndigbo go into they excel.. Let me give you an instance... Chris ubo came into lagos few years ago, I can tell you he has displaced all the mediocre radio stations in lagos! he started with Beat 99.9 now he has classic and 9ja fm... he is now competing with a Lebanese man, that owns cool fm wazobia and Niger info.. While yoruba owned like city fm, eko fm, etc are stunting.. I tell you, if igbos should invest in media today, sound city will go into oblivion! Hiptv will be faced out!!! The dying mitv and galaxy will fizzle out! Do not use Minaj to judge, because their problem is mismanagement, they can not even manage ordinary radio station let alone tv. If we invest into media today tvc will run away! The punch and the nation will close! If an igbo man invest in telecommunication I'm giving him just five years! He will catch up with glo!! We are blessed, and most of you that are banking on other people to patronise your goods and services ! That's ignorance!! Did you know that they do not buy or patronise anything that has igbo out look? How many yoruba! Hausa have you seen reading Daily sun? How many have you seen buy Ibeto cement? How many have you seen attend lord chosen? How many have you seen attend trem? How many have you seen invest in fidelity, diamond zenith etc.. you will be surprised to see all these things but I tell igbo people buy what they produce!! That is fact!! All the bread produced in onitsha are being consumed by igbos, we consume ibeto cement. Most of them buy aba made ignorantly, They only buy things you have monopoly in, things like motor parts, building materials, shoes.etc! They are happy that wallmart is coming to nigeria, because our people we be out of business! I can go on and on!! If you produce in east! You will have more patronage. Go to any provision shop in the east, 80percent of the goods are from lagos ogun state, we are not into consuming goods like biscuits, sweet.

BuddahMonk:I think the civil war put us in a tight corner. if there was no civil war and we were still at the same level nationally as we were pre 1967 then we will not be having this conversation. It's not fair to compare us to any other group in Nigeria. Our history was tainted by the civil war and so our story is different. We have to come to the realization that Igbos did not just decide that living outside Igboland is better off than in Igboland. That's why i fault the argument of some people that Igbos are born migrants or travellers. No, we are not. Na condition na him make crayfish bend. We have to now look at have we can rescue the situation by being factual and realistic. Where can we go from here. What do we need to do to make people like Leo Stan Eke to look eastwards. How can we make Ifeanyi Uba to move the headquateters of Capital oil to somewhere in the east. Can a Tony Elumelu or a Fidelity Bank think of citing their skyscraper headquarters in Enugu? Let's cut these people some slack by understanding that they are business men first and formost. A lot of us that are even having this discussion are based in the east. So, where do we go from here. 3 Likes |

InyinyaAgbaOku:Nnewi has been an automobile center before before the civil war, so you can't compare it with Enugu and Owerri that are not really known for any kind of craft. Even at that, why can't you convince all the Igbo spare parts dealers all over the country to move their business to Nnewi. Does it make sense? Why can't Coscharis move their business to Nnewi as well? 3 Likes |

The igboland needs rebranding, serious rebranding! One of the reasons why these people get many things in their favour is the way they brand their places. A very good media advertisement about the region will open the region too. 6 Likes |

asha80: Like someone said and I confirmed from a friend who is lawyer and its even legal in international law. We can buy lands that lead to the ocean. If we buy those lands, we will build our ports there. The moment we open our place to the world and develop our media outlet to the world. We can even push DSTV away from Nigeria and advertise the region to the world. I am telling you seriously, if we open this region and that's the only sacrifice we can give to our region. We will do much more than what we're doing now. If we can dredge deep, we will create millions of jobs and drag investors back home easily. This is the truth. The region needs opening because we're somehow in the middle of the country. Closed in by different groups with different interests. With our seaport, we will be too open. Investors want people that can spend money, igbos can spend money. Please bring investors so that we can make more money and create an enabling environment for all. 2 Likes |

VickJames: You're right, and I'm sorry to say this, out of the big three ethnic groups in tropical west African (Akan/Ghana, Yoruba, Igbo) Igboland is the least accessible and least know, even places that are less developed are better known. Also these cultures promote their culture as a 'diasporic' cultures and get many tourists to their festivals and so on. Again, this is an issue of accessibility as well. 3 Likes |

ezeagu: With a highly educated and industrious people like us, it is important we sell our culture to the world and brand it to be world class. Being a republican state from time immemorial doesn't mean we were archaic and don't know what civilisation was all about. If we can sell our culture to the world, we will gain world recognition. I also found out that our art isn't selling outside too. I know we had one of the most beautiful artworks in africa but we've abandoned many things and chase shadows. The art department of various universities in the east are not trying. We should embrace who we are and not run away from it. 2 Likes |

InyinyaAgbaOku:Maybe if you can tell me what better he stands to gain in Enugu or Owerri compared to Lagos or Abuja then we can find a closure. However you look at it, ZINOX stands less to gain moving to Enugu compared to where they are currently. Until, Enugu, owerri and other Igbo states creates a unique identifier, the issue will remain the same. There's a reason why Nnewi and Onitsha are representing. 1 Like |

Like someone said and like we've been saying for years, we can only compete favourably if we start informing public and the best and only way to do that is through media. Ezeagu captured it when he said that Igboland is the least known among the big ethnic groups in Africa. We need to project ourselves to the world stage and the time is now. |

InyinyaAgbaOku:Enugu and Owerri don't have anything UNIQUE to offer Leo Stan Eke of Zinox apart from the fact that they are cities in Igboland where he comes from. We must desist from this emotional request for investment. people should be made to invest because they have something to benefit and not because they owe it to Igboland. Do you think if Enugu was on the same level with lagos, Igbos would rather invest in Lagos? I don't think so. They're in Lagos for a reason. We can keep lying to ourselves as much as we want.
