These are the South East Cocoons that are filled up...while some Igbo have expanded economically to other regions .. repatriating.oney back home ...

Yet, you still got Okwoyi in the same Aba. Oh, it's for those who aren't fortunate enough to escape SE.

BENEAMATA:
All your true big clubs have played lesser European competition MORE THAN TWICE in their history and I'll even go as far as saying no such big club not named Real Madrid and Bayern Munich that has not played UEFA CUP/EUROPA LEAGUE more than once in the last Twenty years , so wind your neck in .

Encourage your Chelsea to go on relegation next season so that they can win a new trophy there.

if he didnt join APC to get free lunch from tinubu, why did he join APC?

I have answered you in my writeup already. Check the last sentence again.

Greetings my Beloved Ndi Igbo

Let me start this by saying we all know the Nigerian state is designed to be against Us as a people, from government policy, to infrastructure, to security agencies , recently even educational bodies.
Luckily for us the people piloting and driving this anti Igbo sentiments are not so smart and are limited to what they can actually do because of the strength of Igbo diaspora lobbying block

Let me get down to business months ago Soludo knowing Igbos controlled majority of the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria decided to build a pharmaceutical village... Where our sons and daughters would bring their pharmaceutical factories , to that effect he called a meeting with all the Igbo pharmaceutical giants and they told him reason they don't manufacture primarily in the east is because All pharmaceutical products must be important through either Lagos airport or Apapa port so he dropped the idea

That got me thinking really how many sector are limited by Nigerian government policies.. I started to research.. Garment industry, cosmetics, metal works/ fabrication, Pharmaceuticals, agricultural industries, and a few others

I started to look for solutions to make this sectors thrive even under the Nigerian useless policies... Then came the idea of Free Trade Zone... This is exactly what China used to thrive even under socialist government
All major Chinese cities u know today have massive Free trade zone

So what exactly is a Free trade zone
It's a designated geographic area within a country where goods and services can be imported, manufactured, or re-exported without being subject to customs duties or other trade restrictions. It's essentially a special economic zone that offers businesses within it certain advantages in trade and investment. ... Which means in this zones Nigerian economic policies won't work.. 100% free trade

If Soludo had simply converted his pharmaceutical village to a pharmaceutical free trade zone... Those companies would have relocated, imported from every sea port and airport just tag the delivery point to the free trade zome

The reason Aba can't compete with Bangladesh n Pakistan in the garment sector is government policies, the import duty on fabrics makes everything they produce above international average price... So makes it difficult to sale

If Abia can create a garment factory free trade zones, the people their can import fabrics without any single import duty, from any port they choose and can then compete favorably on the global scale

Again we need to do more, Nigerian political elites are not smart ever can always find away around their policies it won't be that hard if we try hard enough

Sorry for the grammatical blunders, English writing has never been my strong point

Lagos, Ogun, Ondo and many other states in Nigeria already created FTZ decades ago without beefing anybody, FG/States. But you people with your toxic attitude and bitter mindset must attack everyone for everything about you, even when we are not aware or interested in whatever going on in your enclave. So distasteful!!!

WizardOfNG:
They will soon arrive to heap insults and unprintable name on this man for coming to a conclusion no sane, objective or progressive person, genuinely interested in the growth and development of Nigeria, can fail to reach also.

They (IPOBidients) will soon come out to say that the man (Fabian Ozoigbo) is hungry, that he joined APC so that he can get free lunch from Tinubu. DunceDaft noisemakers.

DMerciful:
Wike will be the loser last last

Is that the brand of your pain killer?

Only division 3 clubs can crave this record, not top EPL, La Liga, Serie A or Bundesliga Clubs.

eepeepook:
How did this man become an influencer? Nigerians are very jobless.

Only those empty-skulls who start off their days, live their days, and end their days on social media worship him as an influencer.

Metordman:
political defections and political prostitution for selfish interest are just the goal of greedy politicians. Come 2027 it will be NIGERIANS VS APC not POLITICIANS Vs NIGERIANS. REVOLUTION is when they collect your 10k to vote, and still vote COALITION(unknown) for a change. And i tell u, 2027 is going to change the phase of democracy forever. The COALITION is going to be underestimated but will be a game changer. Political appoitments, bribery, stealing, grabbing,snaching will not save the DRUG LORD and THIEF. Wait for the Northerners to stab u in the back. If u like appoint Atiku as your minister of petroleum. Your time is up. Last minute Back stabbing. Lollllllllllll. By the way Elrufai, Ibb,Adbusalami,Buhari and other guerrilla warriors are secretly doing the damage with their Nicodemus meetings". When it comes to Northern voice, they nor send APC, PDP or any party. FEAR NORTH". Even Money fails. Money may not be the determinant for victory in 2027. Its going to be a tough one. So keep your appoitments to yourself

It's only the well known 3rd-cláss citizens that worship the north and northerners like this. As far as we are concerned in the SW, it is a well defined partnership, when necessary.

fabolouz1:
well Chelsea football club made history as the first club to win all of Europe five competition trophies.

No true big club will ever want to win conference cup.
It's like a big club wanting to go down to Division 3 league to go and win their Cup.

PHIPEX:
Because you are locked up in your cocoon, scared to move out and compete. Chinese are in Nigeria, I guess it's because Nigeria is better than China right?

Of course, you feel on top of the world immediately you're fortunate to escape your enclave and made it to SW. We have been travelling to places before your people have the knowledge of their immediate environment and neighbours. That we don't come to your land doesn't mean that we don't travel. We know the places that are worth vacating our homeland for.

[quote author=zoomzoom post=135537100][/quote]So your people left alaigbo to go and consume whatever in Oyo state Abi what exactly are you saying here?

Karlman:
How much has the FG invested in anambra that they are want to tax?

Which of the FG's investments is generating VAT for states?

pasol4real:
I hope this Yoruba ppl understand what VAT is?
This one they are celebrating up n down....

E no favour you, so you wan change am?

AustineE1:
Lagos is what it is today by the fact that it was the capital of Nigeria and hence,federal strength was used to fix most infrastructures there and until the federal govt decides to decentralized development,nothing will change.
If govt could invest half of what it invested in putting up the different ports in Lagos,in portharcourt and calabar,I bet you most people will relocate,dredge Onitsha port to accommodate huge cargoes and see what is left of Lagos.
Abuja used to be a glorified village until it was made the federal capital and now,it is beauty to behold.Would you give it to the gwari people that they built Abuja through their dexterity?

We have the pictures, history and many more of Lagos for at least 50yrs before Nigeria ever came to existence. Nigeria, thru her colonial masters, beneficially selected Lagos as her capital because Lagos already had all what it takes to be a capital city, even ahead of some capital cities in Asia and South America. I'm sure many cities in your region today were just farmlands, hunting forest or waste lands as of 1850 when Lagos was already a blooming port-city, transacting with the likes of Liverpool City port etc.

planetbluz:
Why not support The motion for them to leave this Union so you can have ur lagos for your lazy ass selves.

Some northerners actually suggested that, they even approached the court to let you go but your elders rejected it and even went begging.

Just last year, a Southwesterner also said the same thing on social media but you people kicked against it and were even calling for the head of the guy.

rinzaugustine:
Tell that to people who have never been to oyo state. From Iseyin to Ibadan is 2 hours ( wetin still remain for oyo again?) while from nsukka to Enugu town is 2 hours if not more that’s Enugu state alone, even at that Igbos doesn’t boast about empty size but capacity and capability. Go to Middle East and see how Isreal the size of Enugu state put the entire Middle East in fear , with exception of America and China most of the countries world powers today are not big in size

If it takes you 2hrs to travel from Nsuka to Onitsha, a less than 60KM distance, then something is wrong somewhere. The development/infrastructure you want to claim here might not be available afterall.

gidgiddy:
Let's just assume that the South East is about the size of Oyo State. What they are doing in that South East speaks for its self. Outside Lagos, no other city has the highest number of story buildings than Onitsha

The question South Westerners should ask themselves is why is it that beyond Lagos that was capital of Nigeria for 80 years, and Ibadan that was capital of the old Western Region and now capital of Oyo, they have no cities worthy of note?

Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha are cities, they have never been capital of anywhere. The fact that the South West has so much land should have been a golden opportunity to show their development power. Yet if they are asked were they made a noteworthy place that was never capital, they will tell you Sango-otta

Having storied buildings is not totally a sign of development. Ratio of population to land availability may determine it. Southwesterners might use an acre of land to build a bungalow and still be fine with it.

Mind you, there's no state in SE that is as industrialised as Oyo state, while Ogun state is more industrialised than the entire SE states combined. I haven't mentioned Lagos yet.

PHIPEX:
Does this explain the decaying cities around you? Anambra's population is equal to Ogun population yet you can't compare the 2 in civil development of their cities. Same applies to others states.

It has little to do with landmass, otherwise we can also argue that Lagos is developed because it has the 2nd smallest landmass in Nigeria

Whatever gives you bloated massaged egos....... The same Ogun gives succour and economic asylum to numerous anambrarians. How many indigenes is seeking same from Anambra?

ShoeMarket:
There is no truth in your soul. It's too bad.

What exactly is not true in my submission? Just point it out.

ariesbull:
Yoruba and excuses ...I can view the rusty Ibadan and Abeokuta

No one Is giving any excuses here, but pure statement of facts. Is entire SE bigger than Oyo state?

Demurray:
It isn't up to that, did Ferguson hurt you or anyone close to you?

Man U won numerous EPL cups owing to Ferguson's manipulations.

The only reason this is possible is because the whole of SE, available to about 40million ndigbos, is about the size of Oyo state.
Imagine if the whole of Yoruba is confined in Oyo state. All the people, infrastructure, industrial and residential estates in the SW concentrated in Oyo state. Imagine all the old wealth (Da Rocha, Odutolas, Fajemirokuns, Okunowos, Kukus, MKO, Adebisis etc) and current wealth (Adenugas, Alakijas, Tinubus, Kensingtons, Okoyas, Adelekes, Otedolas etc) with all the religious and educational institutions etc are all in Oyo state. SW would have turned to one mega city, and probably the biggest in the world.
You will just discover that your living room is in Lagos State while your bedroom falls within Ogun state. Or you and your girlfriend strolling down the street and you just discover that while you're walking on the Osun state side of the road, your girlfriend is on Ekiti state side.

Initially I thought it was sarcasm. This is both degrading and hilarious.............so so ridiculous!

shortgun:
If all of Peter Obi's good deeds were posted on this site, the servers would crash. Doing good comes naturally to him, that's why people love him even without receiving a single kobo from him.

If this incredibly ridiculous can be posted here, what else remains?

Man United problem no be ojulasan ( na spiritual )

They need deliverance no be small

I no be joke o

Sir Alex Ferguson will live long in good health, but Man U will never win any major trophy in his lifetime again.

The same Mctominay sold away by Man United is now a hero at Napoli.

.. same with Lukaku.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan at Inter is doing well too.

Greenwood at Marseille

Anthony is in Conference League final with Betis

Even Malacia just won Dutch league with PSV

These guys were all Man United outcasts.

Even if Harry Maguire comes to Liverpool, he will become a super star 🌟

Titogbanski:
I envy Israel sha. No matter what they do people just support. If dem like kill 40 thousand Palestine children, no wahala.

Strange thing is that they do not believe in Jesus, In fact for Bible they said give us Barnabas and allowed the Messiah to be crucified......yet Naija Christians support is unequivocal.

Nigeria Christians will continue to support the Jews because they are the antidote and nemesis of Islamic terrørists. Don't forget that Islamic terrørists are not at peace with anybody globally, be it Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Traditionalists, atheists etc.

Salah just wasted this match.

Dindondin:
No one is disrespecting Obalufon and Obatala. The priest talk was from Samuel Johnson's book. It's possible at some time there was caretaker king and it could be Obalufon based on artistical archaeological facts seen in Ife.
Logically you sef reason am. Oranmiyan the official successor was not able to stay long in Ife. He went to Edo and later to Oyo.

What made Oranmiyan the official successor to the throne after Oduduwa? Oranmiyan was not the eldest child/grandchild of Oduduwa. He had senior siblings.
