"History has shown that in almost every situation where a group of people or a demographic is being oppressed, it’s usually because the oppressors are threatened by the potential of the oppressed to be great" - Genevieve Nnaji

The first step to Igbo regaining their freedom in Nigeria is to understand the nature of the enemy's tactics and their goals. If you try and act in the opposite direction of their goals, then their oppression will fail eventually.

1. What they enemies of Ndigbo plotted was to abandon Igboland infrastructurally so that Igbos will be forced to abandon their own land.

2. Use and exploit Igbo energies and talent to develop their own villages and states, claiming it is in the national interest of Ndigbo to invest there, while telling Igbos to remember they are "Foreigners" in these places, therefore should not seek electoral positions or citizenship no matter their contribution to its development.

3. Finally at the right time with the right spark of tension, suddenly expel Igbos from all their locations back to their abandoned SE region and claim all Igbo properties outside the SE as "abandoned"


The oppression of Ndigbo in Nigeria is geared primarily to acheive these three core elements of the enemy's plan.

Therefore, Igbo must reject the idea that their homeland isn't good for investment and put some if not most of your investment in your own state!

When you cannot put the investment in your state, invest in Ghana, Angola, Namibia,Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire. Sierra Leone, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Mali, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Equatorial Guinea, DRC etc Or outside Africa. It is better to invest in these countries and become a citizen there than to invest in hostile places inside Nigeria and lose everything to a "Quit-Notice" or riots after many years of laboring to build your life there.

Let those that have ears LISTEN.
Those that are too daft to see what is happening in Nigeria, should continue living in Kano, Katsina or Funtua etc. In time, they will get it.

Onitsha have a long way to go in having a decent environment. Awada, Nkpor and Woliwo look like Agadez and Timbuktu.

The interchange at Upper Iweka need to be massively planted with trees because of human activities in that particular area. Even the way people cross the high way in Anambra State shows slot need to be done

At the heat of the Biafran agitation and consiousness by IPOB,Kwankwaso retorted that the worth of Igbo landed properties alone in the north excluding abuja is valued 3 trillion naira. Earlier,El-Rufai mentioned Abuja is gradually becoming the 6th Igbo state given the depth of Igbo ownership of critical properties and high end assets in FCT. The case of Lagos is well known already with Igbos producing Councillors,House of Assembly and NASS members given their entrenched and historical stake holding status in Lagos alone. This fortunate (or unfortunate?) reality is replicated in other parts of the country. Dr Chidi Amuta,a columnist with ThisDay mentioned and I paraphrased"an attack on Igbos in any part of Nigeria will lead to easy destabilisation of the country given their dispersion in all nooks and crannies more than any other group". I heard of a story where a certain Ambassador to the United States during IBB regime was accosted by an Igboman during a town hall meeting in DC on the systemic marginalisation through quota system and other covert official state policy against our people. The Ambassador requested for a roll call of all tribes in the meeting and majority of the attendees turned out to be Igbos. He said and I paraphrase" If in spite of quota system and systemic political and economic exclusion against your people(Igbos),you still end up the majority here and some of the most prominent and influential Nigerians in America and diaspora,then whatever policy targeted against your people have failed in its intents and purposes". The point am trying to convey is to capture the truth in your assertions above. However,it did not end up as designed by the enemies as we have turned around to displace them in their enclaves in a way that a forceful dislocation will lead to unintended consequences. As Chinua Achebe mentioned in his seminal book,The Trouble with Nigeria" Were the Igbos be a minority enthic group,their would have been easily contained by the state but like ants filling out of a dead wood,they trooped out in their millions in all directions and literally seized the floor". Igbo existential realities in Nigeria today is an asset and a liability. Time to be strategic in our quest for nationhood by making key contacts with notable diplomatic agencies who will ensure the safety of our assets in a possibly post-Nigeria scenario while we continue with the different regional development plans to ensure there are structures in place for those repatriating their wealth home to invest. Aside investing at home,I foresee Igbo capital flight to neighbouring African countries in the nearest future. It is already happening

The enemy dont want anything in the East.

They wanted to use Nnamdi Kanu as excuse to level the place.

The few, flyover, houses, business and bridges is annoying dem.

EXACTLY!

The little progress they have seen has annoyed them immensely as "So we didn't stop these useless Igbos afterall?"

They are not relenting though. That is why nobody should be under any illusion until Nigeria is either restructured or Igbos are allowed to live decently in their own country - Biafra.

Those that like real-estate should consider these types of apartment complexes used in Ethiopia like below. It is how places with high population density and small landmass provide decent houses for the masses. Since electricity is scarce in Nigeria, perhaps limiting to 5 storey floors will be appropriate adaptation for our clime.

The saddest part of the Igbo renaissance is that most of our people simply swallowed the enemy's bait Hook-line-and-sinker with no questions asked. In their minds, Kano or Lagos is their hometown. i thank God for the Governors in these places that continuously remind them about this folly.

Where is dat in the pictures?

I am of the opinion that private entrepreneurs interested in real estate should invest in decent multistorey buildings than building just duplexes or bungalows. I know duplexes look better, but not everyone can afford them and the space of land to accommodate 1,000 families in duplexes will accommodate 5,000 families if you built multi-storey buildings.

But, the essential amenities as water, parking and decent environment should also be provided for the multi-storey residential areas.

Please don't tell me all those nice pics of well laid out high-end high-rise apartments are all in Ethiopia....the same Ethiopia that hunger wanted to finish barely three decades ago!

It's suddenly dawned on me just how far we have to go to make our cities truly world-class!

To me, planting trees in those places you mentioned is not the main problem, the main problem is nonavailability of space to plant the trees. If you check out the streets in those areas in mentioned, you will discover that fences are too close to the gutters thereby limiting the available space to plant trees, most main road medians are covered with cement not open soil and no street has a median were trees can be planted. Fences have to be pulled down for trees to be planted and the government will step on many toes if it decides to pull down people's fences.

Gbam! All built in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

It is on their thread in skyscrapers. I also saw these buildings late last year while connecting from Enugu to Washington DC on Ethiopian airlines. If you have ever flown Ethiopian airline, you will see these long columns of highrise apartments just as you are landing in Addis Ababa!

In the video at 6.44 you will see some of those housing developments that surround Addis Ababa. In December, i counted more than 13 of such housing clusters from the air. I think it's a worthy innovation for developers to take and area in the outskirt of the city and build those types of mass housing projects.

He asked me to show him the picture of a flyover and I decided to show him the one in Anambra which he can go and see any time and also showed him a cloverleaf interchange so he could see the difference between an interchange and a flyover but, he decided to ignore the focus of the discussion and started talking about types of interchanges.

You lie.
Enugu has a flyover at Port Harcourt street, beside Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall , off Osadebe street.
The flyover is atop a rail line. What's your problem?

When people who have NEVER been to Enugu stay in Lagos and argue blindly, it just makes you see how blissful ignorance can be.

Enugu has more than 7 flyovers that i can count quickly. Not to mention bridges, tunnels etc. Enugu, is the undisputed champion SE city with basic road infrastructure. Infact, let me just post them so folks who have never lived in the city will learn.

It is sad when Igbos argue blindly about Enugu that they are suppossed to know about.
Think of what other tribes would be doing.

I have said it that if we get every SE city to have the basic planning and roads infrastructure in Enugu, the region will be a medium developed country. What Enugu lacks is how to bring and keep businesses in the city NOT flyovers or roads.

In the last 10 years, Enugu now builds tunnels rather than flyovers. Perhaps because they are cheaper.

It's all lies and excuse to justify incompetency.
The four areas inside the upper Iweka interchange have scanty trees planted there and they don't produce enough oxygen to balance the human activities around the upper Iweka axis.

On the hand is Eastern Academy, look at the school and see how bare it is, the school is so arid and dry that you think Sahara desert is encroaching on the land. Why can't trees be planted in the school.

Opposite the school is Toronto Hospital with little or no trees, why don't Anambra State government mandate areas like this to plant trees like Lagos is doing.

Now the stretch from down flyover to Moore Street have no single tree, if Obi and Obiano were human enough they would know that the road need to be dualized continuing from the flyover, they will plant trees in the middle like Rochas would have done.

From Relief Market to Obosi flyover is bare, the park Obi built before Tiger Industry, dude covered everywhere with concrete, no trees and no buildings, the intensity of the sun there na die.

From Obodoukwu Road to Uga Junction, the place is so disgusting not just with bad road but dirts, if Anambra State government is a little bit serious like the e-urchins make us to believe, they would have give so road facelift.

The show of shame Obiano did at DMGS roundabout, if Obiano have an eye for aesthetism Oguta Road, Awka Road would be dualized and trees planted in the maiden to compliment the roundabout. He went there dump the tacky job and start making his usual noise

Please expel miscreants from these flyovers and plant trees and flowers in the ramp of all of them!

One thing is sure, the tides are gonna change expediently,, if our leaders can drop their ears to the ground and feel the heart beat of the downtrodden, they would appreciate the depth of the vacuums and stretch of the gaps and be pragmatic about providing solution.

Yours truly have crisscrossed the length and breadth of our territorial configuration and almost same narrative is the order of the day, everywhere.

Our inadequacies and cravings are equally the same yearnings in other parts, though they could vary depending on their situational and circumstantial makeups hence incommensurate by proportion.
