DanArrewa:
first of all... You're not south south... You're an igbo

You're hiding under the unmbrella of the south south... To insult the north so that I will not respond by insulting your unproductive south east...

South east is unproductive and contribute nothing to Nigeria...

Your land is muddy and unproductive... Ordinary maize can't do well in your region...

You guys are just parasite...

Every region contribute in one way or the other...

But south east contribute nothing... You're all traders scattered all over Nigeria... Benefiting from your host communities...

Any day the north decide to cut exportation of food to your region..that will be the end of south east!!

Ok if you are a man,if you are bold,swear with whatever God you serve,lays the terms yourself,if I am lying over where I come from,let's swear and I will be the first to say big amen.

Shameless things. Burden to everybody.

I don't blame you,I blame the people who keep bringing you to seat of power with all your retrogressive nature.

If you are bold lay the terms yourself and let us swear.

MelesZenawi:


Lambasting west not south unless you didn't read the post.

Nonsense.

According to the op. The north feeds the south east. He never said the north feeds the south west. Or you didn’t read?

Blue3k:


Lol see more pointless qualifiers to prolong obvious answer. It doesn't matter who invest in the state. If the other states cant attract investment that's their issue. These activities are counted towards GDP so what's the point of the useless qualifers. It's only present to make the debate interesting.

You have no way of precisely subtracting the "non indigenous" production. No you're wrong the per capita production is includes more that lagos. Do rough math in you head and you'll notice it. Kano has the largest population and GDP in the north and rivals much smaller states.



Lol GDP numbers are no longer practical because you can't make pointless speculations. The chart puts the amounts in cash and full report shows the industry's in detail. You're clearly a joker.

No mind am, it's like asking that apart from oil, what does the SS contribute?

Can you spare my mention for sometime.

Did I quote you?

Perkins2018:


Just as I see igbos everywhere in Lagos and online begging.

wetin concern me with igbo?? ask anywhere the result will always be thesame.. yorubas beg more than any other ethnic group or tribe in southern Nigeria

Seerade029:


You should tell the Igbo guys to leave the thread first.

You didn't see what's going on, Buh when I brought my points you are talking now.
No p

Just look at Mr Educated. Smh
Just so damn sophisticated

Perkins2018:


I’m not fighting anybody. I’m stating facts. The writer says the north supply the easterners with food and I also stated that the south west supply the east and south south with food. We also supply the north with palm oil, plantain, yam during their off season and we also supply them with timber.

The writer actually said the north supplies the south west in particular and the south in general with food.

That you also supply the east with food is not an issue,there are ways we all benefit from one another.
That definitely is not our problem collectively and individually as Nigerians and as southern Nigerians.

No the writer specifically referenced the South East.

I lost count of the number of trucks conveying cattle, goats, onion, tomato, beans, sweet potato, Irish potato and many other agricultural produce from the North to v South-East

MelesZenawi:

Nonsense.

And why did you jump in to support them like a loyal arse licking slave

Seerade029:


The topic clearly says, what does South west Produce that compares with the North...

But the writer did not justify his points rather going around the circle.

Anyways North, Middlebelt, Southwest produce the highest Nigeria non oil products...

The bolded means, indirectly,that the igbos do not produce anything substantial and are inconsequential......and you are somewhere on this thread asking them to get out of this thread for responding to your biased position on them,how perfect!

lol. We're now lying to make our points. Smh
Do you know what aggregate means?
How about on average?

Anyone saying igbos don't beg does not mean igbos don't beg. Does your brain only understand in the literal sense?

Go to Jos n randomly ask people the beggars in Nigeria.
Igbos will not be first or second mentioned

Go to Lagos. Do the same experiment. Same result.

Go to Calabar. Igbos will not be top 2 mentioned

I have never dashed money to a random igbo person at MMA. But other tribes......

CONFAMA:


The North is there lambasting the south in its entirety and you're there trying to pick on the west. So much for Southern unity when crocodile was smiling at you guys.

Funny enough, I am sure your existence one way or the other depends on Lagos or the west...even Nairaland you're using to spit bile is owned by a Westerner.

Well you are right,when I saw that,I too was a bit appalled..
But it will be comforting if we also see your not doing what you are accusing him of doing. Happy Easter

Why not make your reference with Abia, Anambra or Imo?

The large percentage of Yorubas you see begging, do their begging in Yoruba land not igbo or Hausa land.

So just like it is hard to find igbo beggers in Jos, it's also hard to find Yoruba beggers in Jos.

He referenced us all,he referenced us southerners and that's bulshyttt.
How can he sit sit comfortably somewhere in Kano and say, "the oil belongs to everyone?!"

What nonsense!?

Who bears the brunt of the exploration? Who bears the brunt of the numerous air,land and water pollution? Who bears the brunt of oil spills?

I always say it, we southern Nigerians will keep fighting each other and the north will keep amassing the entire wealth of the nation.

You are absolutely right

The headline did no justice to the content, Vanguard is a well known antiYoruba paper.

The content was actually targeted at everyone in the southern part of Nigeria.

Iamgrey5:
I don't need to speak the language of certain people to know about them.

I have lived in different places in my lifetime to understand how people behave and complexities of human beings.

Tell me if the heart desire of an average igbo man in Aba or Onisha is not utopian Biafra? tell me if what your brothers are doing here helps your desires in anyway?

My people fought for freedom from entity Called Nigeria
.. and given opportunity they will fight for Biafra.. this time .. ..

Me like this want a Biafra country for igbos alone.. and will support same ..
don’t go too far..
I be confirm onitsha born..

What’s my brothers doing.. others are not doing?

Yoruba are scared of igbos..
Hausa Fulani ain’t scared.. but they understand that what they have .. igbos too have it..

If Buhari was to be Jonathan.. he won’t have handed over and his people will encourage him.

If Jonathan is an Igbo man .. him too wouldn’t have handed over..and his people will support him

Now Biafra is and my people are helping igbos in every way..to succeed
Let me tell you

Yoruba always tag alone Hausa Fulani . .. because they believe if left for them and igbos.. maybe they might have left Nigeria long ago..this explains the insecurities of an average Yoruba man towards igbos

Post independence.. Yoruba suffered in Nigeria. Igbos were every where ..
Awolowo have to introduce tribalism to sustain his region

Ask your folks .. age and elders.. they will explain more to you.
Left for the Hausa Fulani.. their pain is that Islam will never ever conquer east..

Biafra will come.. and biafrans will celebrate

If today Biafra flags are hoist on Biafra land
Today I type Biafra without sss on my tail..
Today there’s new about Biafra all over the world
Biafrans are proud of being Biafra and can show identity through different ways

10 years ago .. the name Biafra would land you jail terms
10 years ago Biafra flag could land you in jail
10 years ago.. Biafra sticker muffle will see soldiers drill you

Oga today .. all have change..

So why would someone say Biafra is costing igbos more..

If you don’t go .. you can’t tell ..

You’re not igbos .. so you can’t have that feelings..you can never know what it entails..

I don’t like Kanu .. plus Kanu minus Kanu ..
Biafra flag will be raise someday soon.

Lagos GDP is not Yoruba GDP.

Unilag best school?

Wetin we no go hear from Yoruba media. Again, UI, Unilag are federal government universities

Are the management not Yorubas?

kettykings:


You are very dumb and inarticulate. The original author of the document when he listed the achievement of the north did he list yoruba and other outsiders living in the north as ur north achievement but you want to list other people's achievements as west achievement.

When Americans start bragging about their achievements to the world, do they list the achievements of chinese, German, Israeli business in new York and California as their achievements? Do they not limit to achievements of American owned businesses and companies.

Since when did America claim part of Huawei or Mercedes or Toyota achievements knowing fully well these companies have research and development and business office in United states

Those people are very dumb..
Ignorance has eaten too deep .. and na sophisticated people oh

Justiceleague1:


You and ikinternational,so your problem now is Yoruba and Igbo beggars? Smh

No my sister.

I was just trying to put an end to the speculation some people started on the thread

Begging is a sign of poverty and perhaps laziness and no part of Nigeria doesn't have its fair share of beggers.

Covidodo:

Dumbo..
Nah only Dangote get business for Lagos ??
Abi Dangote no be Nigerian. Is Globacom not in the North , East or NigerDelta ?

Are Apple and numerous Japanese companies not in China ?? Don't they add to the economy of China .

Are yeebos generally dumb or what ?

Corner a Yoruba and he will start throwing insults

Arewa is ahead of Oodua

Why didn't you get my point?
I deliberately chose areas that have a mix of different tribes. To ask fellow Nigerians this question.
Since none of us have the concrete #'s, we can only get perception from talking to the people. Assuming they will answer honestly.

I still maintain the average Nigerian will not list the igbos among the top 2 begging tribes

Psalmy2cute:

bros.. theres no diff from a northern beggar and a yoruba beggar I get them a lot In my shop in ogun state.. im from the ss.. theyll come to you.. start praying in deep yoruba you wont even understand.. so that you will give them 50 naira.. there are lots of beggars in yoruba land.. especially the Muslim ones.. that a mosque licenced them to be beggars.. visit kuto garage in ogun state.. infact any garage in abk at all... you will get like 20 beggars just sitting on your sit ..

but wont lie.. in yoruba land northern beggars make up the majority.. but yoruba have more beggars compared to any southern region

where is your shop in Ogun state?oniro

IamAtikulate:

Kindly remove Lagos and the North will trump you.

FACT

Is lagos not part of Yoruba? Why remove Lagos from south west and include all states in the Northern part.
Dont forget Yorubas are in Kogi, Kwara and Niger state....is that not part of the North?

Truth is no region in Nigeria can best the south west in anything except if they wanna chestbeat

IamAtikulate:

OK nah. Go and steal Dangote Refinery

According to Igbos, Dangote refinery that hasn't started working is equal to Lagos GDP

Lol.
No offence bruv, but your people fought a war they were not likely to win from the onset and lost in a very bad way.

Regardless, if you are articulate enough, you would realize why you lost initially and look at very different ways to accomplish your aim.

No one deserves to be in a union they don't want to be in.

Nonetheless, threads like this created by the alternate of Anambra first village son won't make you accomplish your dreams and aspirations

You can keep lying to yourself. Igbo beggars are everywhere in the east. They are on Twitter and Instagram. They are at motor parks in Lagos.
