Bonjovi13:
If your prognosis is true how come Nigeria has the highest number of poor and indigent people in the north compared to the South east particularly.

Can you also explain how the Ibos overtook the north economically when every single one of their forebears were given 20£ to start their lives after the civil war. The northern elites took over billions of dollars of the combined wealth of the Ibos and the policy of nationalization that saw the northern elites take over the industries and assets of even the foreign companies. How come they are mostly poor if they are so generous and spread their wealth like you posited?

The only area in your write up that I agree with you is the fact that the Ibos will never give their fellow man free money. The Ibos hate laziness and rewards industry. They believe that a man should be hardworking and should fend for himself.
I hope you know that the "nwa boy" or ibo apprentiship model is a course of study in no less a university than Harvard.
That model has transferred sustainable wealth to generations of ibo families.

Lastly any money you dont work for will fizzle out. The northerners have benefited tremendously from the national wealth of Nigeria. However there is a trend common to the notherners. Today they are swimming in money tommorrow as soon as their access to the national coffers is gone, they are broke and penniless. They begin to sell their assets in order to keep up their opulent lifestyle.
The ibos believe in building a structure, one brick and mortar at a time. Thats sustainable wealth.
I will have you know that there are far more silent and unpopular billionaires in the south east than the whole of the north combined. They face their business and adapt to changing policies. Igbo Amaka

Who is my own kinsmen in power?

A southsouth president didn't build bridge for us in the east and u are shouting kinsman?

Is Pdp not same Nigerian political party.

My point still remains the same if not for the zoo as u call it Cubana would have been 10times infact 50times richer than he is

Coldie:
Mr 2nd Niger bridge, Buhari built bridges in many places why are they tolling only the one in the east?

If 2nd Niger bridge was in katsina will they toll it?

Ph-maiduguri rail line that while other regions got brand new rail lines, they said they will rehabilitate an old rail line, ontop that while other regions got standard Guage na narrow Guage them give us? That even ontop that FG has cancelled the contract.

Is it the enugu airport that just to rehabilitate it is taking 4years, why anambra is building a whole new airport in less than 1year.

You think that u know what's happening but u don't know u don't, allow people in these places to tell u.


I repeat if 2nd Niger bridge was in katsina or kano would Buhari allow them toll it?

Coldie:
Why won't we see it, u are marginalizing people and telling them to be grateful for the crumbs they are receiving.

It's only the poor like you that will be happy for crumbs

Coldie:
You are saying what will obi cubana be without the zoo, top 10 richest men in Nigeria igbos that used to run the list in the early 60's all of a sudden no igbo man follow for Nigerias top richest 20. And u are saying if not for zoo where obi cubana for dae somebody that u and I know that in the real scheme of things cubana no reach, even 1quarter.

U and I know this.


The question should be if not for zoo cubana would have been a billionaire in dollars, cause if with all the oppression and marginalization he reached dz level imagine how far he would be if everything was with equity

Light1259:
Shut up there.

Coldie:
Nobody wants Nigeria to crash, but why does Nigeria want igbos to crash.

As small as the south east reach for FG to construct road from ordinary enugu to anambra a short distance that's like the distance between 2 lgas in kano, the FG can't they will tell u no money but it's to construct road all the way from kano to kaduna or katsina, road that the length if u bring the road it's long enough to connect all the states in the south east together.

Overnight money dem say no dae go dae.


We fit da form woke but nobody no know say Nigeria has been marginalizing igbos, nobody no know, any government that comes in and tries to correct all those things they will accuse him of focusing only on igbos

Sulele04:
Rosinkkit Aboki one thing is for sure though, it is the fact your life will be miserable when Nigeria "Zoo" comes crashing.

I am very sure the very thought of Biafra or Yoruba nation gives you nightmare.

Op with or without Nigeria He would still be a great and rich man.
He is rich not bcus he is a Nigerian,but rather bcus he had opportunities, utilized them, diversified His wealth,creates more revenue for wealth,has strong associates,and expands.

Being successful is not all about your Nationality.

OssyMalik:
If the Zoo had given Obi Cubana the same privilege it's given Dangote, Obi Cubana would have been the richest man in Africa.

Shame on the Zoo!!

BKayy:
Once our ports are reopened (that this the blockade brought to an end), We won't need Lagos and Abuja.
Nigeria is beginning to speak like the Invaders. They invade you and tell you that if you want peace, you should stop fighting back. Funny enough, weaklings believe it forgetting that were on their own before the invaders inveded them.

You people always forget that you shut down our ports, reduced the city of Port Harcourt, Aba, Enugu and Owerri to a shadow of themselves for Lagos and Abuja to grow.
If you've forgotten, we haven't. We haven't forgotten that WE ARE STILL IN BLOCKADE

vasel15:
I saw trash not facts, go and use this strength and farm instead of crying over rich people that don't give a f about you

Coldie:
If not for d zoo, obi cubana for dae d level of dangote and otedola by now

Officialgarri:
So you are yet to realize that it's the unfortunate Igbos without any financial value that's calling for one useless 5 state republic.

Any man with assets that's cuts across the country can't be calling for secession

Donaluta:
Your hatred towards Igbos I glaring ... Every thread you open is about Igbos... Stop this nonsense

tandy2013:
I disagree 100% A northern will steal money and share amongst close family or fellow rich class but a rich Igbo man will go to village pick up a boy from a poor family and establish the boy that is the reason why you see evenly distributed wealth in Igboland

Mfetenang:
Your problem is unemployment, if you start working hard and stop going around begging people for money you will know that hard work and independence is the key to success.
I'm not dominated by nobody, I have enough to feed myself and my family for the next 200 years while you are the one being dominated by people who give you handouts.
Nobody owes you anything, I repeat, NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING.
This is the problem with Africans, you expect people to give you money, ain't you ashamed?
Go and make your own money, stop begging.
Talk to your politicians so they can set up a good welfare system so that poor people like you will get monthly
handouts from the government instead of bothering people who suffered to make their money.

DesChyko:
Have a nice day.

See the quality of your mind

Very incoherent reasoning

How do millionaires in the north empower the political class that Ibos fail to do?

How do the North control anything more than the south?

The entire cultural direction of Nigeria is the south

The music the media, The internet and the entire cultural signature or Nigeria is southern.

education the stock exchange The capital market the banks

I do not recognize this picture of dominance you are painting
Lagos remains the dominant centre in Nigeria not Kano

aribisala0:
What has political empowerment got to do with millionaires?

Is Dangote a politician?

Who has he empowered politically and how did he do that?

aribisala0:
Since you conclude that "Hausa -Fulani" are 95% of the super rich in the North then presumably they are also the most "empowered"

All the data show the opposite

The Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi remain the best educated in the North?

Remember the PRESSID scholarship scheme?

aribisala0:
More ignorant rubbish
Without education there is no empowerment


IS the banditry evidence of empowerment?
Are yuu talking about empowerment to kidnap school children?
or failure to educate the girl child and marrying them off instead?

Is that your idea of empowerment?

Virtually every index of misery and poverty is among the highest in the world and you think that is something to celebrate?

aribisala0:
I do not allow myself to get emotional over ignoramuses. So liking or disliking is not something I indulge in

aribisala0:
Most college kids are way more intelligent than you

You need to some making a fool of yourself online and stop talking ignorantly on issues you are ignorant of which would be almost everything

Depressed101:
you have little knowledge of the igbos, yet you talk like an open barrel of them.. Your obsession is on a high level,

Mfetenang:
Enyi, nobody owes you anything.
It is not the responsibility of another man who worked very hard for his money to feed you,go and speak to your politicians and ask them to tell the government to set up a proper welfare system so you can collect monthly allowances from the government if you're broke.

aribisala0:
Pedantic? Says the joker who has time to slice copy and paste
three different quotes
You forgot you went to uni? Is that dotage?

You are the one throwing around words like quantitative and empirical which makes me ASSUME you went to uni.

If you did it was a complete waste

People do not forget such things

Those who understand what universities are about never leave. They remain engaged with universities for life especially in issues of research and problem solving
Education is not an event. It is lifelong

juman:
Common!

Rosa, who are those wealthy families and dynasties in nigeria?
We dont have that kind of thing.

aribisala0:
Say s the guy whining about being presumptively called Hausa
You have magically worked out my biography

The fact is this is an anonymous forum I will not indulge you by giving any biographical data but there is no basis for your assumption just your fragile ego

At any rate if you debated anything in 1940 or 1930 it is irrelevant .What matters is the quality of your "debates"

It is clear that you are incapable of any useful cerebral output
Whatever you came up with should remain in the dustbin where it rightly belongs
