It's a gradual process. The agitation will make them think again.

It ve started and I think we should make the "think home " campaign more mind blowing.

Some just need a one speech to take dat step.

Am doing my best, what have other done for Biafra?

But we have a lot of igbo rich men apart from ibeto, the others should do something to help out the east. Emeka ofor, cosharis, leo stan, orji uzor kalu etc..
They should wake up cos they re fits for the tax.

I attended a birthday party with a gathering
of about 30 people. I sat at the front seat. A
lady started distributing food. She started
from the back and unfortunately, it didn’t get
to us sitting at the front.
Another lady started sharing the drinks, she
started from the front but unfortunately I had
already moved to sit at the back. Again the
drink didn’t get to me.
I was so furious that I stood up to take my
leave but then I saw three ladies each with a
big bowl. This time, I tried to be wise by
sitting at the middle. One of the ladies
started the sharing from the front, the
second lady started distributing from the
back. The two ladies were sharing fried
turkey.
When they got to the middle where I was
seated, it got finished again! Feeling so
frustrated, I bent my head, putting my face
in my hands… but then the third lady tapped
me and stretched her bowl for me to pick. I
stretched and put my hands inside the
bowl… Guess what was in the bowl?
Toothpicks. "_" *tears

One way or another we all benefit. less import, more savings, cheaper products, they must buy more TVs and other imports we are not yet producing, which pays Ibo importers, which says Lagos economy (south west) by extension)

and hopefully Will push other tribes billionaires to replicate
