you just picked the worst state out of the SS to prove your point. Can you even compare Ebonyi to bayelsa? And did you have to insult the ijaw peeps. if they dish out insults to you now y'all will scream "igbophobia" or "marginalization". Anyways, the fact is that the SS is ahead of the SE by a large margin. job opportunities better standard of living better socioeconomic life obviously more developed than the SE, and many more. christopher123: 2 Likes |

iamkeyz: In as much as I agree with some points up there eg; that the South Easterners engage mostly in merchandise, I disagree with most of the points stated as only an uninformed individual will make those points. 1. SeaPorts. As the name implies, Seaports can only be built where there are Seas/Oceans easily accessible by Ships and other means of transportation on/in water. Anyone who has a little knowledge of geography or maps will know that ALL states in the SE are landlocked thus, it is not possible to build seaports in the SE. That's the reason for the absence of seaports and not hatred for the SE. Infact, only the South West and the South South have Seaports of all the regions in Nigeria. 2. "Good" International Airports The Akanu Ibiam International Airport is in Enugu State in the South East. The last time I checked, no region in Nigeria has more than ONE international Airport, the North East has none. The same Airport in the SE; despite being relatively new, it has undergone renovations to upgrade its facilities. Murtala Mohammed International has been there for years, crying for help yet nothing is being done to it, there has been numerous complaints about it...even here on NL (eg www.nairaland.com/2859691/bad-state-port-harcourt-international-airport), yet, I don't see South Westerners complain of hatred or Neglect...or even the North easterners that have none, we don't hear them. 3. Good Federal Roads and Projects In as much as many of the SE roads are bad just like in many other regions, the SE still boasts of some of the best federal roads in Nigeria like the Obiozora-Iziagu road ...and for other projects; yes, the FG has hospitals and Schools; infact, some of the best Nigerian Universities like; University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, Michael Okpara Uni. of Agric., Umudike, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka....just to mention a few. You have no evidence to show that Nigeria has tagged Igbos as evil since the civil war besides, if the South Easterners are really friendly as you claim, they will not seek secession. My simple advise to you and every other south easterner is that you should focus on positives and seek the unity and progress of Nigeria, rather than secession. May God Bless and Uphold Nigeria. |

realjoker: Well said, Op. In my opinion, the level of hostility in the south east is quite high and opportunities are not as many as they are in other regions. I believe these two factors rank top. I've had a couple of friends (corpers) who found it difficult to secure an apartment because they weren't Natives...and when they finally got, they had to pay more compared to my other corpers who were natives. An average 'rational' Nigerian will seek 'greener pastures' and that's why the South Easterners and Northerners are quite many in the SouthWest and SouthSouth. 1 Like |

Re: Why Are Most Igbos Towns Made Up Of 90-98% Igbos Or Native? by Afam4eva(m): 7:25pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
Abagworo:I think you're right but there's a marginal percentage of non natives in those Yoruba towns (outside Lagos) compared to Igbo towns. I think the reasons are not far fectched. The opportunities in Igboland are limited just like in other parts of Nigeria except Lagos, Abuja and Port-hacourt. The little opportunities that exist in Igboland are occupied by Igbos and Igbos are violent business men. It's tought for anyone to compete with them. I can't even compete with them. They scare me. 2 Likes |

adsonstone:You know....this writeup is fallacious and malicious too especially about the corp members. Hostility in terms of what....while hibernating in your enclave or mere hearsay, have you witness the hostility first hand. People that afraid of competing often have a way of rationalising their actions. The opportunity aspect is the main issue here, the little opportunities we have has been taken by the natives. If there is adequate federal presence like is obtainable in other region it would've been different. 3[b].

That said, PH, Warri, Uyo, Calabar, are all better in all ramifications that any SE state. And pls don't tell me how Ph, Uyo , warri etc is igboland. christopher123: 1 Like |

Afam4eva: Thats the truth and all of it. Every adult knows but seek to deny it. Nigeria revolves around Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Most Nigerians after graduating move to these 3 cities and only return to 2nd tier cities if they fail to find a base in any one of the 3. |

Slikbae: So Delta Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and Kachikwu and Sunny Odogwu and JJ Okocha and Okonjo Iweala and Joe Achuzie are not indigenes of Delta State. Egbema in both Imo and Rivers States have one traditional ruler. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/10/egbema-youths-endorse-obis-son-for-leadership/ Impressed by the leadership attributes and philanthropy of one of the sons of the late Nze Obi of Egbema, a foremost traditional ruler in Imo State, youths from the area have asked Chief Francis Uzor Obi to provide leadership for them. The Egbema youths, drawn from Imo and Rivers states, said they were in need of a leader who would refocus them towards development, declaring that the younger Nze Obi was the ideal man they were looking for. |

Nigga, you're suffering from a severe case of dementia. Listen the urhobos are the fifth largest tribe in Nigeria after the Fulani's constituting 9% of the total population of Nigeria. The urhobo tribe is the largest tribe in the South south, followed by the efik/ibibios which constitute 7% of the population. The Igbo's constitute 18%. The Igbo's are NOT the largest tribe in the SS. NB: I haven't included the binis, itsekiris, ijaws, etc. PS: Never quote me in your ignorance. The least you can do before diving into my mentions is be enlightened. Also, due to your stark oblivion, I will cease to tender my contributions. Farewell!! christopher123: 1 Like |

There is nothing one won't see on this forum, just because u're ignorant of something doesn't mean u should go all out to stereotype a particular group. So who are all those men we hear on radio always selling herbal drugs, the money changers, the shoe shiners, gatemen, kiosk owners, meat sellers, taxi drivers, corporate business men/women hosting business seminars and other civil servants.
