Clown i said you should just shut up your gworo mouth. Rivers state is more or less an Igbo state than it is Ijaw, Kalabari or Okirika. Igbo part of Rivers state is far larger than any other ethnic minority in Rivers state.

Abagworo:
Again Chino let me remind you that this is Pan-Igbo not Pan-Ikwerre. We are all brothers but different ethnic groups and different geopolitical zones.

nnamdijonathan:
I noticed that from the beginning of this trend to this very point, everybody has been talking about creating the enabling environment for business to grow in Igboland and overtake other parts of Nigeria but the truth is, no matter how you guys plan and create the enabling environment, Lagos and Ogun will continue to be the first choice destinations to build factories by Foreigners. Have u ever travelled out of Nigeria and ask the citizens of that country if they know Enugu or Awka etc? If a foreign investor wants to invest in Nigeria, what's the first that comes to mind? The answer is Lagos. If there is going to be an international conference between countries in Nigeria, which state will the conference be held? The same Lagos. Haven't you noticed that Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Kaduna and Kano all depend largely on indigenous industries unlike Lagos that combines a massive number of indigenous and foreign industries.
The Shell company in Rivers state just announced that it is moving its operations from Rivers state to the oil producing area of Lagos which will lead to a drop in Rivers state's IGR and the sack of over 5000 workers, does it mean that Rivers state is not conducive enough for business? Oil companies have placed their oil processing plants in the calm Niger delta since 1958 but located their head quarters in the over crowed Lagos, does it mean that ND is not good for locating a head quarter? If crude oil is found in large quantities in Lagos and Ogun states tomorrow, all the oil companies in ND will relocate their oil companies immediately.
I know will people may not understand where I am heading to but, you must understand that Lagos has overshadowed the entire country by a wide margin and no matter how stressful, chaotic, dirty, disarranged and disorganized Lagos is, Foreigners will still consider investing in Lagos before thinking of other places. When 100 companies come into Nigeria, 80 will move to Lagos-Ogun axis while the rest of the country gets to share the remaining 20. Why exactly are things happening like that even with the high taxation in Lagos? Have u noticed that our very own Obi Jackson has his Nestoil head quarter in Lagos instead of Warri or Port Harcourt where he operates? Erisco Tomato is the largest tomato processing plant in West Africa and it owned by an Nnewi man but it is located in Ikeja, Lagos. Our only hope in Igboland are our indigenous industries but most of them are also in Lagos-Ogun axis from Seplat to Nestoil, Beloxxi, Emzor, Green life pharmaceutical, Yudalah online store, May and baker, Erisco tomato, film house cinemas, zinox computers, Choscaris ford vehicles assemble plant, ABC industries in fact, almost 90% of all our major and famous industries are in Lagos-Ogun axis.
How can we stop this nonsense because its beginning to look spiritual?

We give too much credence to these places because we thought these places are bigger than what they truly are. Yes Lagos is the business epicenter of Nigeria but it is only because other regions are dead. Southeast is better positioned than lagos when it comes to reaching consumers at a speedy rate. If we develop our economic potentials well enough, we can reach the north central, south south and the north east faster than products coming from Lagos. We can provide services for over 100million nigerians than what Lagos is doing.

With the advent of non-conventional media, the lagos-ibadan expressway media has lost much of its strength because different people can air the true nature of what is happening in every region. The only thing we need to keep doing is to rebrand igboland. Build systems and structures that can spurn economic growth, you will see investors trooping in. Ordinary SWOT analysis will always show you the strength of southeast over many regions in the country. We just need to work on our advantage and everyone will love spending time in the east.

Abagworo:


Welcome brother. Aniocha and Oshimili are our confirmed brothers on the West both by looks and deeds and we have photos of Asaba on this thread. The non-Igbo brothers are Ndokwa and Ika whom I personally don't welcome in Igbo affairs. I respect their choice of self denial.

Your people are not doing enough to show that we're welcome.
I have stayed in Lagos, where I encounter my Igbo brothers from the 5 Eastern states tell them that I'm Igbo nd they'll tell me that I'm not.
I currently school in Awka and the same thing is the case.
The gap between us is widening and you guys are doing nothing about it.
It's heartbreaking though, as it is not a good development.

Wike speaks very clear Igbo language ofcourse that is the only language he knows apart from English language. Peter Odili speaks like someone from Ogbaru or Onitsha because there's no difference in culture and language between someone from his area(Ndoni) of Rivers state to someone from Ogbaru or Onitsha in Anambra. I have been privileged to sit very close to some of these people to hear them speak.

selemempe:
wow....wike speaks igbo? Thats good. We should keep ensuring we dont lose any igbo clan due to defeat in war.

Udo8:
I am just seeing this thread and I clicked to see my brothers who made us proud over the years.
But I noticed one thing, the presence of the western Igbo's (Anioma:Asaba,Agbor, Ogwashi-Uku e.t.c ) was not felt .
I know we are Igbos, but you guys are not doing enough to help matters at all.
Most of my brothers don't think we are and it's simply because of the way we're treated.

#IGBO GA DIMMA

Its not like that at all. I also want to post pics from my area in Anioma but the problem is that I only go to Delta only during Christmas. Other delta people viewing this trend do not reside in delta so it is just impossible to post pics of Anioma.

I have this strong feeling that Abagworo is the same person as beijingdozzier, omambala1, chino, his modus operandi is like this

he goes and post about rochas destruction of imo state and calls them achievements, in his mind, he is happy and gloating over the loss igbos suffer because of rochas

he then logs on with the chino set of monikers and pretends like he is arguing with abagworo, but his intention is to rubbish same imo state as an anambra man,

his intention is to cause bad blood between imo and anambra, and any way it can derail the igbos threads is okay for him.

The same chino/abagworo, posting under more than 20 monikers now goes to enugu thread and starts to curse Ebonyi people. Then he responds to himself as an ebonyi man with other monikers,

he started by posting old ikwerre picture now, then changed to abagworro to yab himself that ikere are not igbos, he is so scared anytime ikweres and aniomas associate asigbos, he dies a little more every day

this thread is like a dagger to the heart of the anti igbos, and they have been gathering to engage each other, claiming they are ignos just to scatter things

they even curse abia people with monikers claiming anambra. Beautiful mind2 posted awka and onitsha pictures and they died a little. They started to hold him back that the pictures are too old, very bitter monikers.

I suspected he is nnamdijonathan too, just very sick people suffering from multiple personality disorders.

These people are not igbos, any time abagworro talks and he does not mention rochas or that half imbe, nwosu, he will not send picture if its not rochas destruction of imo.

I was in owerri for xmas and couldn't get to my momsy villa at nekede due to hold up, abagworo has never talk about it.

Chino, beijingdozzier, omanbala1, and more than 20 other monikers are working together to derail all igbo threads, because the hole they crawled out of will never develop. They are sad and bitter everyday.

Watch as they quote and curse each other from thread to thread, just spreading negativity , but their life is also filled with negatives, you cannot give what you dont have.

May the bitterness you bring to igbo affairs follow you to your whole tribes.

God bless you for this your post. I used to think that I was the only person that didn't give a damn whether Ika and Ndokwa people reject their igboness. When I checked the list of ethnic groups in Nigeria, I was shocked to see that Ikwerre, Ika and Ndokwa people all denied being Igbos, only Aniocha and Oshimiri in delta where recorded as the only true Igbos in SS and I currently don't have a problem with that because, at least my people were still recognized as the true Igbos of Delta.

What have you yourself added to igbo history or culture to make them accept you s part of them? Or you expect them to suck your bum bum becuse you be fellow igbo?

Except two agree, they cannot walk together, you need to agree first.

[s][/s]

what else am I expecting you to add in this thread, apart from curses? Am not disappointed

The problem we are facing in this country as igbos are our politicians. There is no consensus on a particular purpose in which they are in the upper chamber. I think most of them go there for their own personal pursuits. Nothing has ever come to our favour because they fought for it even when they were all in PDP. I feel we have been getting it wrong with the ways we have been voting these people into places of power.

I have come to a conclusion that the solution to this problem that we vote a particular party which identifies with the igbo struggle. Even if we do not become the president of this country, at least we will have people fighting for our quota in the red chamber. For example, if we all come to a consensus that southeast and other igbo areas in the south south are APGA areas, then we will give them template of what we want from them every 4years and if they do not perform, they are either recalled or impeached immediately and no political undertone will be read to it.

Furthermore, we can also use the party to bargain development in the east rather than fight for positions for igbos. For example, if we are to support APC, there will be written agreement that some projects will have to be constructed in the east and some policies to enable igbo businesses and people thrive in this country will come into fore.

PDP and APC will always push us into the sideline if we keep washing their panties in the parties. We should stick to our guns and get whatever crumbs we can get from this union, instead of crying foul every four years.

Lol. Guy why did u mention my moniker? I am currently viewing all Igbo trends on nairaland and one thing I always do is to remain unbiased. You claim Agbaworo is always supporting rochas, at least he is the major source of beautiful pictures of IMO state. If u feel Rocha's has not done anything in Imo state, why don't you post the recent pictures of the bad things you've noticed rather than come online to shout up and down without prove. Even spyder88 has visited IMO and he posted very beautiful pictures of Owerri, in fact, the pictures beat all the pictures that have been posted on the trend.

I just think more should be done by those who have a knowledge of History among the Igbos.
They should help in passing the message that all Igbos are one whether anioma or not, they should treat us like one.
The igbo community in general should work to see that the western Igbos know who they are.
We need a sense of belonging.

Develpeast:

So u think an Afonja will follow 4 Igbo trends from page 1 to over 400 pages just to derail the trends when he knows the trends have nothing to do with his region? stop deceiving yourself jare, nobody on this trend is an afonja, stop bringing other ethnic groups to ur matter.

Aniomas are more Igbos than you will ever know. And please don't wait for anyone to tell you whether they are or not, if you open your ear to enemies, they will tell you that your father is that mad man roaming the markets.

Obodo na ekwelu muo , ukwe ndi ani oma o
obodo na ekwelu muo, ukwe ndi anioma o

ukwe anyi ji eje mba, ukwe anyi ji eli ego, ukwe ndi anioma, ndi nwe egwu.

I didn't want to school in the West because I wanted to learn more about my people nd probably marry one of our fine wines.
Umu nwanyi Igbo have not let me down at all, they're all beautiful just that most of them claim not to speak Igbo language, but frequently communicate in Yoruba simply because they grew up in Lagos .
I think something should also be done about our language among the youths
