Most of your tribes men do hate without reason(probably due to the civil war defeat).

U are so funny.. u are backward to conclude ur points because of nairaland posts..

sorry bro, there is life outside nairaland..

I am igbo, I hate no one. I only hate anyone who takes life away from another. I see u first as a human before i begin to talk about ur tribe.

Stop this nonsense becus of some stupid posts u see here.. what if i tell u that hausas and yorubas hate igbos? Pls, stop this nonsense and get a life.

whateverkay:
You call fried rice and eggs crappy food? Were they supposed to eat Gucci rice and champagne just because they guard Aso rock? Buhari is a prudent president and he won't allow the status quo of wastage practiced under Goodluck Jonathan. 1 billion might be budgeted for feeding, it doesn't mean the whole money must be spent on feeding. Nigerians are used to wasteful spending and Buhari's govt is here to correct that. If a whole presidency can feed with such prudency, then the common man on the streets should be confident that we are in safe hands. God bless president Buhari.

hahahahahaahah... eyaaaa, many people no get sense at all for this country.. so for ur mind now, the left over fund, if there is, would be kept abi?

hahahahahahaha, I just pity for u, so u really think Buhari is different from other politicians? My brother, my brother, what they do is simple, budget 20 naira for something worth 5 naira and pocket 15 naira. That is what they do.. they av been doing it since military regime, it has not stopped. Buhari govt has taken it to another level sef.

I just pity for those of u who think naija leaders are saint. hahahahaahahahahaha.

The whole Nigeria police should be scrapped and breed new ones without bribe and corruption

It is not possible as long as u still have national assembly members, governors, house Rep members, etc. The entire Nigeria is corrupt. U can't scrap out a part and leave others.

The rate at which you ibos rape and abuse the word " dominate ' can be quite amusing and funny at the same time.

I ask you a simple, straight question you went about configuring your personal, oral stats with no basis nor facts? What a delusional fellow you are. Well, I ain't surprise this is how you people go about dominating online only to be confronted with facts, figures but go about configuring yours. Damn annoying. Is buying and selling and doing petty trade you measurement or basis for domination.

Dominiate in what aspect, exactly, with facts? Maybe you meant, in poverty because in the whole of South SE Dominate the table.

Smh.

Bro, there is no need to abuse me. Nigeria is not known to have much recorded facts. I don't know why u are so angry at somethings. U said poverty is dominant in south east.

Bro, can we be friends? Like be real friends? We can exchange contacts and talk more. No hard feelings. I hope u know what small scale and medium scale business is all about? Yes, that is what south east is known for mostly.

Let's hook up. No hard feeling bro and stop using degrading words on someone. Is not worth it.

So, no budget for Abuja clinic before the enthronement of PMB shey? U need to wake up.from your slumber.

So u elected Buhari to continue the incompetency of previous administration?

If we are to continue with blame game, we shouldn't spare Buhari too becus he onced led this country too in the past.
Baba, na u suppose wake up. Why did u elect Buhari? Was it not because u felt previous administration did badly and u wanted a change?

How come Buhari came and continued with what the previous govt was accused of doing?

If previous govt had budget for the Aso Rock clinick and did nothing with the budget, u people then decided to remove them for not performing well, u guys brought Buhari, so it is now acceptable for Buhari to repeat what the previous administration did by budgeting billions for Aso Rock Clinick and do nothing with the budget? :O

How some of una reason makes me weep o

The whole world is watching. You'd be the most intelligent person on this thread if you could prove the bolded with facts and figures. Please, not the usual oral or go-and-do-ya-findings-usual-figures.

Smh.

Waiting...

Bro, I didn't come here to argue with u.. U and I know that over 90% of share holders in the biggest markets in the south east are easterners. The south east is majorly driven by small to medium scale businesses. Those markets are controlled by the easterners. U will hardly see non Easterner with large market share in those markets in Aba, Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, etc. The east is mostly driven by market economy.

Now, in Ibadan for instance, Queenslima market is dominated by the igbos, Duge market is dominated by the igbos, Aleshilonye market is also shared between igbos and yorubas, etc. These are top markets in Ibadan city. These markets have positive influence on the economy as they house both small scale and medium scale businesses.

Lagos is not to even talked about. Stop the hate. Igbos work extremely hard. I am not saying others don't. But easterners are parasite, right? Northerners are parasites, right? East suffered a major set back via the civil war, and had little help from the central govt after the war. Most of the FG programmes there were abandoned, yet, east is not the poorest in the country. That tells u a lot about them.

Other regions already have advantage over east.

West already have advantage of Lagos which is the biggest economy in Nigeria and among the biggest in Africa. Lagos is the centre of business in Nigeria. It is normal. It is the former capital of the country and has enjoyed massive mono poly for decades. Every country has her own mega economic city, south Africa, it is Jourbug, Egypt, it is Cairo, etc. Lagos is furtunate to have that. It is the first point of city outsider gets when entering Nigeria.

The influence of Lagos is affecting western Nigeria all together. Just that Nigeria is a useless country, all western states would av been far ahead, not in Nigeria standard, but global standard. But these states are still doing badly even with their close proximity to Lagos of all places.. Take away lagos, west will be almost empty.

Now, south south, is the oil hub of nigeria and that is the region that feeds the country. South south has more income flow per states from FG than other regions due to 13% derivation. It is normal for that region to be ahead of other regions. Have u been to PH? How is the market economy there? How many igbos dormimate the popular markets there? Find out too.

Now, north has Abuja close to her. North has always been the baby of the country. The country has many policies that favour north like the educationally disadvantaged states in Nigeria, FG character which benefits states with more local govt and northern states gain more from this. North should av been ahead of east.

East suffered a war for three years, I mean a full blown war and had no special commission to rebuild it as north east is getting now.

If with all these and east is still not the poorest in nigeria, they deserve their noise baba.. If easterners are lazy, oboy, that region for be cast by now . Those boys are dam hustlers.

What's it that Igbo states contribute meaningfully to the Nigerian economy? Can't you see that the states where the bulk of Nigeria's revenue is gotten are in the top 5?

You Igbos are quick to tag others parasites because they do not produce oil. Please how are Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra states different? How much VAT does the FG generate from them?

How do the non oil producing states in SE get their budgets financed, is it not through the same feeding bottle system?

I'm sure you don't know that oil gotten from Imo and Abia states combined is not up to that of Ondo?

I must say here that there is something fundamentally wrong with all developers - INFERIORITY COMPLEX & VAIN PRIDE.

When igbos say parasite, bro, they know they can survive without the so called oil. Life does not start and end with oil bro. I reaerached about New Zealand and saw how much tourism is giving that small country, in was shocked.

Bros, if that same feeding bottle is given to north and east and east is still more sustainable more than north even after civil war, the east has every reason to brag. The east knows she has hard working citizens who can boost the economy of any state. The east is not afraid of total restructuring, the east is a parasite, yes, but the east is not afraid of restructuring..

Mind u, the so called VAT u talked about, go and check how much comes from non indigenes in those states.

I will always say it. U can't take it away from the east, they may make noise and talk too much but they are fucking hard working. The east run their own economy in their zone. The same easterns have reasonable influence on the economy of other zones, from south west to south south to north. If u think na lie, go on a fact finding.

Hmmmm... I know they will soon be here and Tongue-lash Baba again. If he approves, they will talk: if he didn't, he is tribalistically.

Before you start talking thrash and argue about your PDP V APC palava, please answer the followings:

1. Where was Aso Rock Clinic when Patience was treating her tummy problem in Germany?

2. Where was Aso Rock Clinic when Jonathan was frequenting same Germany for undisclosed ailment?

3. Where was Aso Rock Clinic when Stella Obasanjo died abroad?

4. Where was Aso Rock Clinic when Yaradua died abroad?

5. Where was Aso Rock clinic when David Mark treated his toothache in Israel?

6. Where was Aso Rock Clinic when Akpabio treated his leg pain in the US?

You want Buhari to right the wrongs of 16 years in 2 years abi? Your hypocrisy is stinking, walahi.

Bros, no vex, u no follow at all. Just look at what u postsed.

So, the billions budgted for Aso Rock Clinic under Buhari couldnt fix basic things at all. U mean billions budgeted separately twice couldn't fix hospital to be able to treat some of the elites at least before flying them abroad? Haba, sense fall on u na..

I just dey pity for youths for this country, all these politicians dey use youth shine while they send thejr kids abroad with tax payers money to enjoy everything they cant offer us here. You are here supporting Buhari. Nonsense.

So, u people voted for Buhari to come and be budgeting billions of naira for Aso Rock Clinic and have no basic facilities there? So that was why u people voted Buhari abi? Na wa o!

My brother, none of these peoole are good leaders, if u see good leadership, u will know. We dont av any yet in Nigeria.

The biggest slap by any president, governor, or any serving politician is to use tax payers money to fly abroad for medical treatment while they leave those who pay the tax with poor health care facilities..

I pray for the day we go get sense and our munu go do.

otokx:
The family of the politicians always reside permanently overseas.

Yes o.. My brother, the matter weak me. I dont know who do us this thing..some people still support these crimimals.

They loot and send their entire family to a developed world..they leave us no electricity while they use givernment fund to buy fuel and diesel.


I hate all politicians..the fact that our politicians can send their kids to developed cointries to study and allow our universities spoil is the biggest slap ever.

adem30:
I love the way Buhari is giving it to the igbos fire for fire. because even if he yield to their demands, They will still attack him and have another chest beating. There is nothing He can do for them that they will appreciate. So YOU HATE ME, I DON"T CARE attitude of Buhari is commendable. Atleast He has nothing to lose nor gain from South east. So why are they demanding for special treatment?

If you like Keep all your IGR self and let's see who go suffer most. Only Ogun state will provide IGR generating from the south east.

have u checked out the number of poor yorubas in the so called ogun state?

i think u guys should pay more attention to ur indigenous people because the foriegners are taking over the economies in south west while yoruba beggars litter the streets of various south west states. This is not a hear say, go into a find finding mission in person bro.

Forget this IPOB of a thing.. it does not change the fact that hunger full the country.. IPOB or no IPOB does not change the number of beggars in the north.

some times i laugh at the masses in this country, u support and fight for ur government while ur people lack basic things of life, no stable electricity while small country like Tunisia has stable electricity, no water supply, many are homeless, many are jobless, no more true love because economy is bad, no better football league, while countries we insult every now and then like SA has quality football league. A country like Bostwana has more responsible govt than Nigerians. It is time u all stop this ass licking govt. IPOB provided a platform to disturb the ruling class.. if u never supported them becus of tribal sentiment, it would av been best ur people establish their own course too. If we all can establish a platform to disturb the ruling class, we could be on our way to a better and more responsible govt.

nothing scares any govt than angry masses. The ruling class is messing us up.. i dont mind boko haram destroying them. Pls, forget IPOB wahala, ur problem is not IPOB but ur ruling class.

we ass lick our enemies a lot, our enemies are the ruling class.. Look at Obasanjo who ruled us for 8 years. Im sure that many yorubas are so happy that a yoruba man led for 8 years. In fact some will even tell u that yorubas are gaining a lot in Nigeria all because they occupy political positions. But my brother/sister, how does that make an average yoruba man a better person? Do we have 24/7 electricity supply in yoruba land? Do we have world class health care facilities that will prevent our ruling class from traveling to London, India, south africa, egypt, germany, etc for medicals? Has south west transformed universities in the region to even meet the standard in ordinary south africa? what about water, ordinary water that late Libyan leader provided for his citizen even though Libya is in surrounded by deserts. Dont be decieved by luxurious buildings in Lagos, and the so called IGR that has no meaningful impact in the lives and standard of living of majority of the masses. My Canada friend told me few days ago that she does not know the meaning of bad government. Her minimum wage is 11$ per hour. If u work for 10 hours per day, u already made 110$ (that is the least u can make in her state of residence). That means u already made more than the minimum wage in Nigeria for more than two months. My brother, this is our problem. We need those who could disturb the govt, make them uncomfortable, make nigeria boil, noisy and disgrace the govt, the masses can take advantage of these type of people/situation to make serious demand from the govt.

take for instance, when Kanu was disturbing our peace (I didnt like the way he talked though, but I appreciated the fact he was able to steer national discourse), political leaders started talking about restructuring. The talk for restructuring became a serious issue in Nigeria. U can imagine if he had continued with his noise and wahala, we may get something meaningful done about our stupid constitution and political system. Think about it bro/sister. Please, dont allow bigotry and sentiment to make u think i said stupid things. I SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT CAN DISTURB THE RULING CLASS.

Jsaviour:
If It's ripped jeans or indecent dressing that leads to rape, what would you say Baku those that take babies, children, well dressed girls, mad women and even animals in some northern States. Let's always reason before we agree with some gibberish.

That aside babe, but don't u think women are simply doing too much these days with the way they dress? I saw a pregnant woman at the mall the other day, I was shocked. Come and see what this woman wore to the mall.

Why are most ladies dressing so indecently? It is something u girls need to strongly come together to condemn.

In recent police tips, women were advised to quickly put on something ugly if criminals break into their apartment. This according to police is to reduce sexual tendacies which may lead to rape.

One way or the other, indecent dressing directly or indirectly leads to sexual stimulation. Yes, some men are beasts and deserve to be jailed for raping.

But women should come all out to condemn this indecent dressing, it is getting out of hand. I just don't know the essence of seductive wear.

Clearly indicates that the police do not have an efficient or effective network. Once a car or other property is recovered by the police anywhere in Nigeria, it should be uploaded on a central system that would inform every single police station throughout Nigeria.

What is so hard about this?

hahahahahaha.. u people keep talking as if no be Naija we dey again.. how some of u get shocked over things here beats my imagination.. do u know why? This is Nigeria and u and I know for sure that naija na cast. The option u gave is not valid because even ur national ID card is hard to come by. U av BVN, TAX ID card, National ID card, voters card, but there is not central system to reconcile all of them. There is no data base to easily get info about anyone in Nigeria.

When we blame police with so much passion, we tend to forget that Naija police is a product of the Nigeria system.

this just a sabotage perperate by pdp element in this govt.
think it is time to reshuffle
it is time to send all DGs and PERSECs appointed by PDP from the last govt. magu inclusive
pmb has made a big mistake of not sacking all pdp element in his governement .
this corrupt element are saboataging his effort and making the public to mock buhari
many people who work day and night for buhari successs in 2015 are not part of his govt.
real buhari loyalist , die- heart supportrs are left out of appointment
aisha buhari has said it and pmb don't want to listen

how will pmb succeed when he is surrounded by people with different mindset
a proffessor of law has said it " only buhari fighting corruption"
dino melaye has said it " buhari is surrounde by canker-worms"
and really this cankerworms are eating him up
buhari should act.
if bhari should succeeed
all nigerians will succeed

Na u funny pass.. So u still think Buhari is a saint? Hahahahahahha.. Baba, politics in Nigeria does not allow anyone to be a wait because elections are won by god fathers. U can't be a saint in Nigeria politics. Buhari is not a saint bro. His chief of staff, was he chosen by PDP? Didn't u read the article? Didn't u read where the writer said 'core Buhari's loyalties? " . U make mistake to assume that Buhari is a saint. Come off it bro. Buhari won election by accepting to work with some people and he must abide by their biddings. Until we have a better electral system, we will continue to elect criminals like as leaders. Another issue with Buhari us that he is a bigot. He is so much in love with Fulani people. He is an extremists and pays attention to his core advisers without studying such advice! Buhari has this mindset that only his Fulani people are saints. That is where his problem started.. He has failed and will not even get anything right till he leaves office.

Desyner:
And Aregbe say Osun people are too poor to pay tax. God help us in Nigeria.

Okay bro.. Let me use this time to explain something to u that may make u understand better.

Now, south west has more non indigines than other regions in Nigeria.. That is one area to look at. The bitter question here is how many yorubas (the real owners of south west) are above poverty line? Don't get me wrong. The presence of non indigines in south west usually influences stuff like this. This is not about east and west fight we get here. At least we all know that over 96% of people on the east are the igbos (the original owners of south east). Even the northerner states, if the non indigines are removed, u may be shocked to see higher rate of poverty in those states. I don't know if u are getting the picture bro.

i just messaged you bro and sent friend request

victrick105:
as much as i hate to agree with you, but what you said is true, edo and italy be like bread and butter, just as yoruba and london, or igbo and malaysia or china...most edo and delta people go to italy to carry out prostitution, yorubas go to london for no good reason than vacation, while igbos go to china for fake electronics or to throw stone in malaysia....simple truth.

Hahahahahhaa.. Yorubas go to London for vacation? You said that? Huh?

My brother, they are there mostly to carry out internet fraud..

Just like I said previously, crime, I mean shameful crimes are evenly shared among tribes in nigeria..

While igbos are leading in drug and fake products.. (Other tribes do this but igbos are leading in the business)

Yorubas are leading in internet fraud, ritual acts like using human skulls, human fingers, all sorts of ritual acts (in yorubaland, to be a yahoo boy is a pride. In fact, a landlord can be proud to u that 'na G guy bought my house in so so so place. Even policemen will tell u, "that guy wey just passed, na G guy wey base for London. " it is becoming an acceptable career in the west. Majority of them are in London, USA, south Africa, Malaysia, Dubai, etc.)

South south is leading in militancy, oil worker kidnapping, and prostitution.. This includes Edo, Delta and others. These two are leading in south south.

The north is leading in suicide bombing.. That us just what they know how to do.

Crime is well representated in naija. Naija na cast bro.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
oro lo fe gbo.

Nnamdi azikiwe sold you ibos to perpetual slavery of his hausa masters by shamelessly deciding to become an errand boy to tafawa balewa despite Awolowo's overture for a southern solidarity in the first republic. Alex ekweme furher confirmed your status as slaves to your hausa overlords by being a house boy to shehu shagari in the second republic.

You ibos are 10th class citizen in Nigeria. The weeping boy of Nigeria. Ibos are the sacrificial goat used to appease the gods of Nigeria.

But northern Nigeria is the poorest in Nigeria.. Northern Nigeria has the highest number of educationally less developed states in Nigeria while south east has only one state. What a shame. Northern nigeria has highest poverty rate in nigeria, northern Nigeria has highest illiteracy rate in Nigeria.. Northern nigeria has highest suicide bombers in west Africa.. They are so foolish, they simply blow one another up.. Hahahahahahhaha


They are full of beggars.. They can beg for Africa.. Northern nigeria like u are the 10th citizen in Nigeria becus most of ur youths are called abokis and they serve Southerners as gatemen, shoemakers, barrow pushers, water fetchers, etc.

Come to southern nigeria and see ur youths roaming everywhere as beggars, shoe makers, water fetchers, erand boys and girls..

I love using them to run small errands and pay them poorly. Northern Nigeria is actually the slaves here..
Characteristics of northern nigeria:
Poor education, poverty, death, bombers, beggars, illetrates, diseases, etc.

Lol, 4 developers' states are on the list, still wondering why the Sudanese Jubrin's feeding programme is not vehemently rejected. All we keep hearing are some incoherent grunts about the quantity and quality of the "zoo" food.

on a serious note, are u supporting this programme?

If u do, this country has no hope at all.. this programme is useless..create jobs, make food affordable, provide electricity, make loans available and people will not need once a day free feeding programme.

I have met many northerners, many of them work for my Dad and I tell you they are far more hardworking than the Igbos I have met. They don't work smark like the Igbos but they work very hard. Blame it on their religion which sees Western education as haram

they are the ones u met.. Nothing in life is 100% bro.. but we deal with majority of occurrence..Majority of them dont just work smartly.. just like u said.. hardwork and smart work are not the same Even if it's there religion that caused it.. it is still what we are saying,,

something must cause something.. Their United Arab Emirate is still a muslim country.. Something must cause the down fall of a man. They lack human resources..

take for example, take a look at Approved Complete List Of All The Educational Less Developed States In Nigeria - (ELDs) source: http://www.unnportal.com.ng/2016/11/approved-complete-list-of-all.html
- Adamawa
- Bauchi
- Bayelsa
- Benue
- Borno
- Cross River
- Ebonyi
- Gombe
- Jigawa
- Kaduna
- Kano
- Kastina
- Kebbi
- Koggi
- Kwara
- Nasarawa
- Niger
- Plateu
- Rivers
- Sokoto
- Taraba
- Yobe and
- Zamfara

u have just one eastern state there out of five. Not as if FG has done so much in the area of education in the south east.. These guys in the east worked this out by them selves.. North rules the list.. sadly, they av ruled more in Nigeria.. It is about human resources... they lack it...

Now, imagine a country where the north is cut off and have no access to this kind of benefit? Just think about it.. They benefit more from the system and still are more backward.. it should tell u more about these people.

XXLDICK:
I agree with everything you said and I share same view

I just wanted to point out why it isn't right calling the northern region a parasitic one.

#OneLove

why they are called Parasite is just that they lack human resources. It is a fact. It is a natural order. They lack human resources.. they have population. Yes! But lack human resources.. This is why southern regions wishes to have complete control of their own resources.

It would be really hard for north if the current system fails. Their human resource capacity is poor. This is why the popular notion of their parasitic life is loud.

sanpipita:
My brother forget these people most of them haven't crossed Benin - Ore road and they want to form opinion on Igbos, the way they say igbos should leave their place you will think its every Igbo that leaves outside igboland, they stupid enough not to realize Igbos have done well for themselves without FG support unlike their regions

It is really funny that they dont know that south east is controlled by the igbos. That igbos travel far does not mean that south east lacks igbos.. I spend time to educate them..

south east has many businesses running successfully for years. The sweetest part of this is that the igbos control over 95% if that economy in south east and still have significant influence in other economies in other regions. Igbos dont love to simply beg up and down. They prefer to try other territories and conquer.

The Aba and Onitsha markets are worth billions and are fully managed and controlled by the igbos even with little FG presence in that region.

GoodiOG:
Dk you know that since after the civil war, all the ports has been closed by the FG even til now. The Only two that is open is being heavily regularise by thr FG

And still south east got rebuilt and remains among the top cities in nigeria.. That shows u the spirit of the igbos..

I must confess, igbos are hardworking.. The fact that as huge as onitsha and Aba markets are, the economy of those markets are controlled by the igbos is a great point.. The fact that some main markets in many other states outside south east is influenced largely by the igbos is a sign of magical spirit of that same igbos..

What that means is that the igbos run their own economy in their own region and still control the economy of many other regions.. That is a huge success.. The average igbo man hates laziness.. He go hustle am any how..

Yorubas too dey try for human resources.. Southern nigeria is blessed with human resources.. Something north lacks. No matter what they try, they lack it.. Take FG supports from north, the region will collapse.

XXLDICK:
Okay, you have stated how restructuring will benefit Nigeria as a whole. Can you now state how it'll benefit Southeast


Igbos working outside and sending money to build mansions won't benefit the region. Mansions are not industries.

I just pointed out mensins to u as an example.. How will it benefit igbos..?

The igbos I know are hardworking.. That igbos are in other regions doesn't mean south east is not working.. The point is.. Igbos run their own economy in south east.. South east is not the poorest in Nigeria.. And south east as it stands is controlled by the igbos.. That is a great point.. I mentioned to u Aba, Onitsha, etc. They are markets that are very huge.. They are controlled by the igbos with little influence of other tribes there.. Now unlike many other regions where igbos have significant influence on their economy. I gave u examples of Ibadan, Jos, Markodi, I av been to these places.. We all know how important small scale and medium scale businesses are to any economy. The market is very important. Igbos are in other parts of Nigeria does not mean that they are not in the east..

Go to Enugu, people are making millions on their business and they are mainly igbos, go to Aba, same thing, go to Onitsha, billions are made yearly from businesses and industries mainly by igbos, same in Owerri, Asaba, etc. These markets are ruled by igbos. U know, when u people say igbos leave their region, it sounds like south east has no working business.

But south east is full of businesses that re successful.. Just that an average igbo man doesn't like to rest or beg up and down. He has conquered his own region and had to go to other regions and conquer the economy too.

How restructuring will benefit south east?

No more free money right? Fine, states in the east will know that they need to work harder to earn. Those contesting will also know that there are no more excellent packages for governors.. So, corrupt policians too will pay their attention somewhere else. Only leaders who have the passion can contest.

Indonesia makes a lot from palm fruit and red oil. We have a lot of them in the east. Now what makes country great is not resources found therein but what they can make out of that resources..

Igbos can begin to hustle on what they can produce with palm fruit products.. Nothing is impossible with science.

Tourism is another sector in the east that can earn for that region. Tunisia is a small country but earns a lot from tourism and has better electricity than Nigeria.

Fashion industry creates a lot of jobs and Aba can make billions for the state from this. Fashion is huge and has generated billions for Japan, Milan, Paris, etc. Aba has what it takes to earn from that sector. Remember that there is human resources. That is the most important.

Sand in river areas are source of market too, stones are needed in industries, these things are found a lot in the east. They can be used for production more and export them less.

Onitsha market can manufacture a lot of machine related parts.. It can be enhanced, people sent to learn skills from developed countries and return to practice what they learnt.. Sport is huge business too. The talent is there.. South east league for clubs alone can generate billions if well managed..

The point is when there is no free money, people will try other means.. The current system has made states lazy including south east..

But there is one thing south east has which is human resources.. That alone is a blessing.

I'm neither for not against restructuring. I just want to see how it'll benefit the Southeast.

The human resources you are talking about are being used to develope other regions, not ours.

You mentioned seaport but the Southeast is landlocked.

ProBiafrans seek lands that belong to the old Eastern region, why include Delta and Benue states

You people clamour for resource control like it's the only way to development.

China became the fastest growing economy without resource control.

We need to restructure our minds, not the economy... Put an end to corruption and instill patriotism on every citizen and watch the economy grow with or without restructuring.

Bro those things u mentioned can never come without restructuring.. Again, let me correct u, those maps u see are unofficial map of the so called biafra supporters..

Again, I repeat, IPOB is just a group supporting Biafra.. IpOB is not Biafra bro..

U can't get patriotism or fight corruption with the current system bro..

There is nothing in the mind to restructure bro.. U can't be paying someone 18k and expect him to be patriotic.. It is not possible..

U can't kill corruption while u pay ur police officers poorly and equip them poorly.. The state, Nigeria needs to take care of her citizens first before the citizens can show patriotism.. If ur leaders are not earning well, it is different.. But they do and still want to pay 18k as minimum wage and u are talking about mindset.. Will change of mindset change the minimum wage from 18k?

U people need to get it, which region are the igbos developing? I don't see anything wrong with people who hustle in other regions and send money home..


The type of houses in my village alone is far better than most houses i see in city centres in Ibadan. Igbos can't stay one place.. It is a fact.. They are everywhere, not only in Nigeria and they send money back to the region which adds to the economy of the region.

Igbos have the human resources and natural resources to survive without oil.. They are not like northerners..


They seek that becus they are confident about it..

No one loves Nigeria, stop believing so.. No one loves Nigeria bro. When we put an end to free money from oil, states will hustle bro. Some states will begin to manufacture things out of nothing. Some will make a lot from agriculture.. Some will make a lot from entertainment.. Hope u know how much America makes from Hollywood.. Milan and Paris make a lot from the fashion industry.. They didn't wait for free oil money..

The point is free money needs to stop.. If the desire us not available, the available becomes the desirable.. It is the fact..

I repeat, south easterners will always survive.. If they can survive years after civil war without much FG assiatnce, they can survive without oil ..what we lack in Nigeria is not all about corruption but laziness..

The type of economy will run is a lazy economy.. Even United Arab Emirate is doing so much in production, tourism, business tourism, educational tourism, etc. They know the importance of these sectors.. But we just want to keep earning oil money, oil money for ever and ever..

Bro, a 100% control economy will help many states to work.. States will be led by leaders who know that they have no free money from abuja but need to work so hard to earn. The governors will have know there is so much money in states too. These things need to stop.

Pls, IC economy can do a lot for any country alone. Igbos will survive.. A restructured Nigeria does not mean south east can't partner with south south or west or even north.. Regions can go into partnership with mutual benefits..
