You are very right, no doubt.

I'm Igbo too but I had a reason for making that comment.

- I hate it when Igbos call northernes parasites despite not being the one feeding them

- we are not interested in oil, but we keep trying to coarse Delta State and some other oil producing states into our agitation for Biafra.

- we are the ones clamoring for resource control even when resource control was stopped by one of our own.

- The Igbo region region benefits from oil money just like the so-called nothern parasites

- you know our Governors can't pay salaries without oil money?

- clamouring for resource control? Hope you know that most Igbo businesses are situated outside the the Southeastern region And their taxes will be paid to the host states and not Southeastern Governors Believe it or not, restructuring will only favour southsouth and sothwestern regions.

We should be rational in our thinking

U are still seeing this thing from the angle of resources.. Bro, Bleep resources


Igbos have human resources which is best resources..

My point is, south east and north contributes little to the federal govt but u can't compare east and north in any way.. East is still wag ahead per human income.. That is the point.. Human resources is what igbos have and that is the best..


U people need to stop seeing restructuring as an issue.. It is not bro..
Every state in Nigeria has the capacity to feed her own people..

When there is no free money bro, states will be forced to use what they have..


Egypt earns a lot from tourism.. Same as Tunisia and these countries are doing well. Sport can generate a lot for a country..

It is not about oil bro.. It is about human resources.. Igbis have it.. And don't judge IPOB biafra to be the ideal biafra..

The biafra pro biafrans seek is the lands that belong to old eastern region and there is nothing wrong with that..

U should support restructuring bro.. People can develop their own ports and make all the money from it..

Stop seeing life in oil alone.. Each state can survive without it if they want to bro.

But what can make them survive is the human resources they have.. Igbos have that.. They can survive any how.

With the current oil money, north is still dam poor. What does that tells u?

XXLDICK:
IDPs make most of the numbers of the 3.4million.
Boko Haram insurgency is the reason for those


You are right, the northern regions do not contribute much to the economy just like the Southeast

Yea... South east don't contribute bro.. But have u taken time to look at the number of business men from that region scattered all over the country? Have u calculated how much they generate?

Also, easterners know they contribute nothing but are fighting for restructuring... Why is north not bold enough to fight for same? East is parasite right? But they are not scared of seeking for 100% resource control..what does that tells u? They don't give a Bleep about oil..

An average igbo man prefers to hustle than to beg.. Igbos are born yo survive.. They have human resources which north lacks..

Human resources is not about population.. Is about hardworking citizens..

Have u checked out sectors like entertainment, music, movie, transportation, fashion, small scale and medium scale enterprises, production, ict, education, etc.. Can u count how many igbos are doing fine in these sectors compare to northerners..

U see, the entire south is blessed with human resources.. It is not about lazy population.. Is about hardworking citizens..

East may not have the so called oil but they don't av as many beggars as found in the north and even in the west. Igbos have dignity in hard work.. No matter what it takes...

Igbos have conquered the south east region, they have businesses and companies doing fine there. They control that economy in that region.. They have to move further to other regions to dominate and influence economy too because they rule their own economy..

Come to Ibadan for instance, Queenslima market is ruled by the igbos, Dugbe market is ruled by them too, Aleshilonye market too, etc. Thee are important markets for the economy of that state

Go to Onitsha, the market is huge, it is controlled by the igbos and not any other tribe.. Go to Aba, the market is large, the Aba market serves east and south south states.. It is huge and worth billions of naira.. It is controlled and ruled by the igbos and not any other tribe..

I was in jos and was shocked to see markets mainly ownered by easterners.. Even in Edo state..

These people have conquered their own economy and influences the economy of many states within the country..

These are same people who were dealt with during civil war and had almost nothing left after the civil war..

My brother, the igbo race is dam strong and hardworking.. U know it deep down..

Take a look at sport sector sef like football.. Even clubs in other states, u will find igbos doing extremely well.

I must confess, Yorubas and igbos are extremely blessed with human resources. Life does not start and end with oil.. Northerners lack human resources..

They can only survive with oil. Simple..

brainpulse:
The truth why Nigerians trust Buhari

But Buhari budgeted billions for state clinic in Abuja and we dont even have any thing there.. It is an open secret.

How many people has he persecuted for it?

The one who spent billions cutting grass in the north, has he gone to prison?

What about Buhari boys who sold the materials sent by Saudi Arabia to refugees, it was even aired on Aljezeral, has he sent any to prison?

What about the current contract scam? Is that one not dying again?

What about his chief of staff? My brother, u are a fool to ever think Buhari was different from GEJ..

Do u know why GEJ is a bit better? His boys stole but we still had things a bit cheap..

If Buhari is in govt and all he thinks about is oil and oil, he is a fool, a failure and a loser..

He was elected to better the economy of Nigeria but many people have died under his watch.

Corruption in this govt will shock when another govt takes over.. Just don't say it is a propaganda when another party begins to make claims of what APC under Buhari did to Nigeria..

Buhari is the worse president in the history of Nigeria.. How can u be fighting corruption and those working with him are extremely corrupt.. Nepotism has killed this country.

fuckerstard:
Hehe i weak.

If 2 say na all those agbero SARS dem fit open fire.

Aswear, no be lie.. Those SARS officers are agberos.. They go open fire o.. Those guys, I don't understand them..

Everyone just dey allow them waka as they like.. And they operate like cult with links across the country..

teadrake:
You mean Buhari is happpy??Yet he ordered Bailout fund for most states Governor to enable them lay salaries??How about Paris fund??Monthly allocation and 13%derivation.
if you want to criticize, do it constructively.

Those funds came from states.. Allow states control their resources and income and pay federal govt..

Federal govt is too rich with little responsibilities.. If Buhari and his APC are not doing that, they are not different from the previous parties like PDP.

The police force needs total reform. All these medicine after death is total bs.

Nigerian needs total reform, not the police.. The police are Nigerians.. Born out of the Nigeria structure..

The structure of the country needs reform..

They will come for you....

And teach u the different between south south and south East....

South South are Niger Delta while South East are real Igbo

And rivers na south south.. Not Igbo...

No tribe wey no like Money but Yoruba no feel do this for any reason

I'm sorry bro, go and read thishttp://www.nairaland.com/1804141/nigerian-female-celebrities-whose-husbands

When u are done, count the number of Yoruba ladies there and edit ur post.. Stop this nonsense u do here about tribe. Doesn't fit u.

anitapreeti:
But why?

Hahahaha.. I don't understand the why here..

globemoney:
Hare you serious that their will be no Helection in Hanambra state?

when whites call us animals and idiots, u all will begin to weep online but most people here, in this country have shown that they are animals shaa.

Foodforthought:
Abi o.
You may be right

Not maybe sef, I'm very sure.. I av researched deeply on this..

So many things make up a good economy.. Most of the countries in the north of Africa produce finished goods and export to Europe.. Not just raw materials..

Most of countries like Kenya, and others in the north has world class tourism economy.

Most countries in the north of Africa have better football league, in fact, they have standard sport sector.

A country like Egypt has 99% electricity supply for her citizens..

SA is far ahead of Nigeria... Most of these countries have standard water system for their cities and rural areas..

Health care is far better in most of these countries with some of them having foreigners come there for medical treatments..

We send a lot of our people to go to Egypt, SA, Kenya, etc to learn and acquire skills.. This shows better educational system..

Most of these countries have better par capital income for their citizens.. Most are better in manufacturing..

U know, we lie to our selves a lot in Nigeria.. See Nigeria that can not survive without oil dey follow countries that have developed their production and manufacturing sectors to international standard compete..

Take sport judge sef.. While clubs in SA, like Soundwns, Pirate, Keizer chiefs, etc are securing international sponsorship deals with the likes of Toyotal, Puma, Hyundia, etc, where players get brand new cars periodically, Nigeria is still battling for or against Buhari, IPoB, oil, revenue.. Look at clubs like Ahly of Egypt, Sahel of Tunisia, etc they are well managed with better leagues..

When u watch them, u will see citizens better than us here..

Just that Nigerians know how to suffer and smile, we know how to manage, we know how to patch patch life eh..

If not, we are not living life here at all..

Even as a rich man, u are exposed to generator sound every day before u can generate electricity.. What a shame..

Dee60:
Complete show of ignorance.

This is how many Nigerians assume they are experts in Economics.

The value of your currency is not measured by the figure it exchanges against other currencies but what it can buy.

300 Naira can buy you a loaf of bread in Nigeria but can 10 Kenyan shillings buy you that same loaf?

When you change that money what can it buy? That is the true value. Your nominal value does not mean much.

But most of those countries listed there are still ahead of Nigeria..

They are ahead in many sectors.. Most av better electricity, better transportation, better ICt facilities, better universities, better water and housing supply, etc.

Most of those countries have gone pass Nigeria bro.

Misplaced priority
Honestly the problem of Igbo's are Igbos themselves.
These politicians can actually take it upon themselves to develop their region but they keep fooling around. The Easterners will be transferring aggression because it is easy to do so, neglecting their own failings. Honestly I used to be among those clamouring for Independence but looking at it closely we Igbo's are no better. Until we change ourselves how can we change the society around us?

Abeg, this is not an igbo thing jorr.. I am tired of hearing this cliche.. The problem of igbo is igbo them selves..


This is problem if Nigeria.. No region is near development.. The entire country is wack and under developed.. From north to south..

I will never soft pedal for ipobs

They are terrorist

U just said this to get likes on nairaland.. Shame.. Seems ur life starts and ends here on nairaland..

Yyeske:
Was Nnamdi kanu arrogant or humble when he was talking like a lunatic?

Hahahahahah.. I just dey laugh as I read comments here..

Chaiii Nigerians, who do una this juju? Abeg, who presidency epp o? Northern nigeria still has lowest education in entire nigeria, highest poverty rate.. In fact, the reasonable level of living there can be attributed to non indigines who live there. Majority of education gotten there still goes to the non indegines.
Any diseases found among them there with plenty beggars all over the country.. And most of their youths working as gatemen, shoe makers, barrow pushers, water servants across the entire south..

They have produced presidents more than south but with nothing to show for it.. Same goes to south south and south west..

Aside Lagos state, most western states are struggling..

My people, we are all here dragging and hating on one another.. Who do us this juju?

Naija politicians are the luckiest on earth.. Black race has serious problem. Naija politicians are the only set of leaders on earth who are praised and supported even for doing almost nothing..

See hate comments here.. Pls, u guys should learn to understand that these leaders are so happy that we are divided by our ethnic sentiment..

I pity for this country.. Nigeria is not at war but she is among the countries with the highest number of her citizens leaving the country.

When will the youths begin to ask for a better system of govt here in order for us to have a country we can boldly call our own? Pls, if it means dividing the country, we should boldly support it..

I pity for this country, the next 20 years will be funny.

kimbraa:
You just said what I had in mind. Again, when you correct these ones who're quick to celebrate mediocrity, you're tagged as a hater or from a never do well State.

The Lagos State they're celebrating was once Nigeria's capital. Now, the joke is on Lagos State when it's compared to other cities in Nigeria because it still lack basic infrastructures. Pictures are beautiful, but could they sincerely say Lagos State is worth viewing on ground?.

According to Chinua Achebe. Nigerians are born mediocres.

the matter weak me.. I really blame our useless leaders for making most of us celebrate mediocracy. Most dont really know what a great city is.. Lagos this, Lagos that, Lagos this, Lagos that.. a capital of Nigeria for many years. The only city that one can use to travel out and into Nigeria, yet cant compete globally and we no go hear word. Any ways, Lagos better pass many states, or better all other states in Nigeria but not worth celebrating since she lacking when compared to other cities of her mates globally. Stop making these looting politicians feel they are working

kimbraa:
I agree with you.

Thank u jareee.. this country weak me.. that is why our politicians dey use us play football..

all we know is Lagos this, Lagos that.. and mock other tribes wey no reach Lagos.. what a shameless country.. as if Lagos is even the only state in Nigeria or the only state in Yorubaland.

Some times, i dont want to identify with us, Nigerians, we love meritocracy more than anything..

I repeat, No Nigerian city is worth celebrating: None is developed.. development is not all about HD pictures of beautiful buildings..

is there 24/7 power supply? How about transportation? what are the channels of transportation? what about housing? what about water supply? what about healthcare? what is the nature of the public market?

If u talk much now, some pple will tag u broke! Nigerians have been designed to believe that u must be rich before u can enjoy basic things of life..

Make em keep celebrating Lagos, everyday, Lagos this and that.. Lagos never start sef

Amarabae:
this is not an eastern region meeting BUT south east/ south south governors forum,
its for Economic relation and regional co-operation.
Thats all.

All these not needed.. dont know why the hate comes up each time an igbo nairaland mentions old eastern states.. or affiliate with south south. Yes, of course, there were states in other regions today that were part of the old eastern states before the deliberate act of division for the purpose of unity in the country.

Make we leave all these matter for here abeg. Life is realer in the real world than here.

Bolusticus:
Fly wey go die go still follow dead body inside his grave.

All I can see are hungry youths who want to willingly waste their frustrated lives.

Nothing more.

most of them are still like millions of nigerians who go to bed hungry with no electricity, no clean water, no house, etc.. they are not better of. Maybe u are jobless too.

ojlifa:
Tribalism can not help you,the fact remain and no politicain in Nigeria can claim he doesnt know it.Buhari is incorruptible.so because your brothers cant milk the country dry again una dey vex for am.the truth is with reckless sharing the country would die.are am sayibf they are no corrupt people in his government,hell no but as we pick them baba would do the needful

e go clear for una eyes.. what has he done to chief of army staff? How much was spent on ur Buhari's head in his home town?

I just dey pity u.. na everyone criticizing Buhari is now a PDP supporter... and corrupt person abi? sorry, by the time APC completes and leaves office, we all go hear their own story na including ur buari..

u saying buhari is incorruptible shows how shallow u are as a person. U are far from being intelligent bro. Im sorry, no human is incorruptible bro.

ojlifa:
I do not think you know what you are talking about President Buhari is the last of his kind the only one left in Nigeria.in fact if not for him Nigeria would have finished.I always say it God has specail love for Nigeria.with the rubbish GEJ boys and girls did.Nigeria was on life support when PMB took over it is called economic bubble go and check it up

I'm sorry for u bro.. Buhari and his gangs are raping this country dry.

Buhari is not different from others.. Just that his own is worse becus he is a bigot. An ethnic bigot is a dangerious one.

Buhari boys are raping the economy. His sentiment and ethnic bigotry are making them commit economic sabotage and go free..

Nigeria may collapse if APC wins a second term. Mark my words. Evils are been done daily in Abuja by top APC big wings and Buhari boys bro.

laudate:
You dey mind am? Only those who believe they are animals, can call the country they reside in, a zoo!

Make anyone no make person vex o.. which pride are u talking about?

No better job for graduates, better jobs are extremely few and govt jobs are left for the most connected politicians..

I decided to hustle on my own via internet to make a living legally and this same stupid country keeps frustrating me with poor electricity and internet connection. I spend a lot on fuel with stupid internet connection where telecom firms cheat Nigerians any how.

Do u know how annoying it is to be a Nigerian? The last time I traveled, most federal govt roads were so bad that i wept. I wept because my stomach suffered from various pot holes and frustrating and avoidable traffic..

Abeg, abeg, the last time I checked, students of LAUTECH are still on strike! My brother, forget pretense, there is absolutely nothing to be proud of..

This country is a killer.

selflessposhheart:
Very easy to say I've listed 6types of females enjoying Nigeria right now nd living such kinds of life

Tell me more baby!

selflessposhheart:
all cos of money 5wives I can't deal unless he is so wealthy I can travel around the world everyday then I don't mind

But u can mak this money by ur self and travel around the world every day.. U don't need to be a second wife before u can achieve this..

Why women be like this sef? Is it natural somthin?

EponOjuku:
The last time they called Nigeria a zoo, the Nigerian Army used their fathers' scrotums as shooting practice.

Just look at what u are typing.. Go out from ur house and go to market.. How many beggars did u see on the street?

Nigerian leaders are so lucky on earth. The luckiest on earth. They misrule and the masses never ever see them as enemies but see their fellow ordinary citizens as enemies and ridicule them.


U saw a senator saying the other time that no one will remove him as a senator.. He served as a governor for 8 years, he left and went into Senate. His wife was a member of the state house of assembly and when Buhari came in to power, he made her a minister..

These were members of the party we felt destroyed nigeria but they are now members of APC and are now holy.

These people are the people u should ridicule and hate and not ur fellow struggler who is frustrated by the current system of govt.

Go out the street and see beggars every where.. Go to hospitals and see people helpless without medical care..

Stop this nonsense of ridiculing the south east.

kingthreat:
I swear, I have not seen any cowardly people like ipob. Just a little show of military power and these clowns remembered the stories their fathers told them during the civil war and turned to hiding.

Nnamdi kanu should show he got some testicles. He should know the more he keeps on hiding and trading accusations on the FG, the lesser his relevance even to his own people.

So, u wanted a war? U no get sense o... I'm glad this case went this way because u really didn't know what would av happened if the case had escalated into sporidic attacks of other tribes across the county. This is not 1967.. Any war now will not be funny bro.. We all still av a life to live.. Forget all these noise on nairaland. War no make sense.. If war start, some people will use that opportunity to rape ur sisters o. And never ever think it will end in south east. There are more inter state marriages now and Nigerians now live among themselves than in 1967. It will be attacks across the country. Before it goes down, many would av been raped and killed across the country.. Though south east would lose the war.. But others will be affected too. And nigeria does not av the money to fight two wars at the same time under heavy economic problem. Bro, just keep quiet, I'm glad this didn't go worse for now.

SillyMods:
Only IPOB miscreants are shouting marginalisation upandan.

The funny thing is that they actually celebrated when the drunk from Otuoke marginalized a section of the country. They laughed and mocked the Yorubas. Now karma is paying them back.

Just sit down and listen to ur self once again. Can u go thru some of the top positions GEJ gave to the north during his time and compare? At least, INEC position was held by a northerner during his time. Well, so the only reason u people elected Buahri was to come and repeat what u felt GEJ did, right?

How we blacks reason amaze me sometimes. So, what u are saying now is Buhari should continue with his core and obvious favorism to the north and when a southern president comes into office, he should sideline North and favour south and when a northern president comes again, he should sideline another southern region and favour north? That is the implication of ur comment.

I won ask u my bro, for how long do u think we will go with this style? Have u seen why I support a 100% restrctured Nigeria where regions mind their business more than they care for the positions at the central govt? That system will help every region to face governance and not pay back. Pay back will drag this country backward forever. Nigeria is seriously a stupid country.

masterpolyglot:
This is a public forum and I have the right to comment on any issue I feel like. Besides it doesn't mean I don't talk about the wrongs in the south west. Either ways, I've made my point, ain't nothing you can do about it.

I am not fighting u my brother.. I can do nothing about it. I never said I can do anything about it..

Keep calm, no be fight.. Just stop saying igbos this, igbos that.. There are problems facing the entire country.. Good afternoon and have a nice day.

masterpolyglot:
That generalization wasn't intented to tag all Igbos as IPOB members, but to sensitize you guys cos you all never spoke against Kanu until lives were lost. Thats the fact.

Abeg leave igbo matter my brother.. I'm sure ur region is suffering too from the system called nigeria..

Don't know why almost all Nigerians dey on top igbo matter..

The enire country has not developed and people here will be laughing and rediculing south east..

My brother, the entire country has youth problem.. From south south to east to west to north..

Go to the street of Lagos, Ibadan, osun, oyo state, kano, kaduna, etc and see millions of naija youths who are so gullible..

I think every region should focus more on their own problem and leave igbos with their own problem..

masterpolyglot:
RIP.... I feel so bad for the man, coupled with the fact that he was even Igbo.

Youths who were supposed to be in trade/business or at school were busy wielding machetes and sticks against the Army... They even burnt a station and yet, the so called IPOB leader is still living his own life and using the e-diots as human shield.

Igbos need to wise up and understand that smartness is not just about hustling for money....

Must u end this statement with ur fucking generalization? This is a problem of nigeria and not igbo.. There are countless youths in the north who blow them selves up to kill others, they are not igbos..

There are countless youths in the west who fight and do thugery life for corrupt politicians, they are not igbos..

Pls, I hate all these generalization and ridiculing of igbos..

An average Nigerian youth is reasonably backward and lacks logic to reason.. Many will still die for corrupt politicians in 2019...all of them will not be igbo..

Understand that Nigeria has failed and her youths are roaming..
