Oga you are not informed about Igbos, I doubt if you have ever stayed in ABA , how many Yorubas, Hausas and Tiv people were denied owning landed properties in the East? that State you relocated to, did they send you an invitation letter to come and live with them or you went there to attach yourself? have you asked yourself why Chinese, Lebanese and whites are coming into NIGERIA in spite of insecurity and lack of infrastructure? they come here because they are looking for markets for their goods and services, that is how Igbos go to other states to sale their goods and services because those natives are not into such businesses. A Yoruba man will not want to acquire landed properties in the East because they come to the East as Military, Para milliary or senior Civil servants on transfers so their stay is usually temporary unlike an Igbo man that travels to Borno State to establish his business that he wants to grow, expand and hand it down to his children. At Borno State he has little or no competitors but in ABA there are millions of fellow Igbos in the same line of business.

Good for you.... But hope you have become Dangote at the place you left the East for.

Guy, stop chest beating.
Today the East remains the most backward region in this Country. Everything is not just working well in the EAst. I'm an Igbo man from Aba but I had to relocate to Benin, in search of greener pasture. Cause the East is no longer viable for Business. Hundreds of youths leave the East daily to other regions, to make ends meet.

We lack good infrastructures, good Roads and the economy of the East is worst. That's why the East contributes zero to the Economy of Nigeria. We refused to accommodate others who wish to do business in our region, NA we dey suffer am now.

You don't need to bother your self brother. Economic analysis from Owambe masters should not give you stress. This kind of report is the exact end game of the age long Igbo socio economic emasculation. The expected result has been far and in between because of the resilient spirit of Ndigbo, so any time they get small semblance of victory it is world cup celebration.

The aim is, deny them critical infrastructure and make the region unviable so that they will never rise to challenge the staus quo. But Igbos have refused to be down. We went the extra mile and acquire economic emancipation.

In the west, the Chinese establish the business, employ the locals while repatrating majority of the profit to their countries.

In the east we build businesses and employ the Chinese and Indians to help out with technology transfer while the money circulate in Igboland. Now who is the boss?

Everyone wants more FDI, but not to the point of deriding local investment or making it look inferior to FDI.

No country started their match to industrialisation with FDI. The so called foreign investment will never bring in their real technology. The are interested in consumerism and making real profit quickly.

I prefer 10 Innosons plants to 50 Toyota that just want to build a glorified show room in the name of foreign investment. The engineers at innoson gets the technical know how while the one at Toyota gloss through the main thing.

I wish Niaraland was full of people like you that can reason well. You captured my exact sentiments in that last line.

Lol, one thing is killing you guys.
You think the world revolves around you, that you're the only tribe that has this or that.

You talked about shoprite, lol so you're the only tribe that has malls in Nigeria?

gwafaeziokwu:





Benin is too close. You would have move further north towards Borno. No be only Igbo.

perfect analysis... l came across that thread with ppl from a section of the country almost skipping about the thread in gloat that the igbos have once more suffered most in the country...

I keep hearing that igbos are subdued and are 5th class citizens ,but what I see on ground greatly negates all that.. For one I hardly come across Igbo beggars and touts..


well we will all do well by shunning hate and efforts at pulling each other down..letsstop celebrating nepotic unimpressive leaders just because they dumbly try to marginslise some sections..let's use the energy to emulate the Hardy and industrious amongst us,so that good things can flow unhindered towards every quarter..

shalom

Good intentions, but have you seen or heard the disparaging things the ibos say about other people? Have you heard someone like Kanu describe Yorubas? Are you from this country at all? Do we keep turning the other cheek for what?

Bighead9:


More from Borno and the almighty Igbo land.

Stop pretending to be from the north. You are Yoruba!

A typical northerner does not have the obsessions' of you yorubas on Igboland. But, when we show you almighty Yoruba land, you begin to cry.

Enjoy more pictures i just took in the biggest, most developed, most wealthy, most ........city in Africa

Now you know why we Igbo's prefer the North than our underdeveloped East.

Even in your region Igbos and foreigners are the ones controlling the economy, go to major markets in Lagos, even industries, you can't say the same in southeast, West has always be rated high on FDI, for example states like Lagos and Ogun always been high on FDI, while Anambra, Abia and other eastern states top in local investments, ask yourself why with the high FDI why Ogun still below Anambra in Norminal GDP, financial transactions by states, Anambra will always top especially in service sector which contribute large to national GDP more than industries.

Igbos never start attacks but when they respond to attacks, those who started the attacks starts to cry like victims.

rosebowl01:


Hmmn, geneis of all these - so you mean Yorubas attack Kanu to the point he was advocating for their religious leaders in the east to be murdered, but if Yorubas ever respond, then your conclusion will be "Ibos never start attacks, but bla bla bla..."? Did Yorubas assassinate your leaders, seek to rule over your land and call you tribalists for resisting. How many Yorubas earn their living in the SE, stand on the street and call your lands unprintable names and declare it no man's land? Of course there's been lots of responses and deservedly so, but were you expecting us to keep quiet so that you can get your "point" across? Think, why will even common historical enemies stand on the same conclusion with regards to who you are as a people? Not to take away from the fact that we mainly consider you as good people. But to say Ibos never start attacks, common! be honest. Even Chinua Achebe, despite his one sided view alluded to this same problem. Imagine this FDI was 87% SE, and 13% rest of the country. Jeez! Just imagine!
