Who told you that the curses placed on those oppressing the Igbos ain't working?


Just take a look at the North, it has become a war torn region and the war ain't ceasing and the wicked life's that will be lost will be 7 times 3 million.

Look at the south west, if they were told 2 years ago that they will become economic refugees in their own land they wouldn't have agreed.


And as for you, your hate will send you into the abyss, a place of no-return except you change and publicly ask for forgiveness.

Remember what happened to your Oba, Oba Lagoon that threatened Igbos with lagoon death threat but the whole world witnessed what happened to him; he was publicly disgraced, his palace and throne desecrated and was finally chased out of the palace by his own people. That is what will happen to any Igbo hater.

Crazed words of a fanatic.

Igboland is burning and this fanatic is talking about ''Oba Lagoon''.

Some jackasses in Nigeria wake up to a delusional deliberation. Igbo vs Igbo can never amount to a Biafra war. There could be minor disagreements among communities in Igbo land which can never lead to war. I hope the fear of standing alone cannot drive you into a session of hospitalization.

It is VERY easy to get the Igbos to start warring against each other in the current circumstances.

In fact, if the Fulanis are as devious as you people say they are, it could be precisely what they are planning now, in order to deal with the Igbos.

All they have to do is heavily support EbubeAgu with money and heavy weaponry, while surreptitiously arming the ESN through 3rd parties, and then using the federal military might to go after ESN with venom.

The result? An enraged ESN will use their improved weaponry to fight EbubeAgu, who will return fire for fire with their superior weaponry.

In the end, EbubeAgu will triumph, but Igboland will be destroyed and require another 20 to 30 years to rebuild.

It's not even a complicated thing for the Fulanis to accomplish, if THAT is their objective.

Most Igbos can't see or reason beyond today and tomorrow, so they will fall easy prey to the manipulation.

Even on this thread you can see how they are already abusing me for trying to get them to use their common sense.

Igbos Be Careful. Or The Next Biafra War Could Be Igbo vs Igbo

I had a terrible nightmare last night.

Igboland was engulfed in flames, with war, disorder, and conflict the order of the day.

Everywhere I turned, it was war and fighting.

In this terrible dream, I did not see any Yorubas, or Hausas, or Fulanis, or Edo or Itsekiri.

I just saw Igbos attacking Igbos.

Viciously.

It was terrible to behold.

It was a deadly war between pro-Nigerian Igbos and pro-Biafran Igbos.

The former were heavily armed, and backed by the Nigerian govt and international community.

The latter were a mishmash of rag tag terrorists, ne'er do wells, street urchins, and touts, led by drug-addled warlords.

Eventually, the Nigerian-backed Igbo forces prevailed.

But what a terrible damage to the landscape I witnessed!

All around was destruction, refugees, and food aid trucks from the UN.

On waking from the dream, I did a silent prayer, imploring heaven to prevent such a massive cataclysm.

I wish to use this opportunity to warn my Igbo brothers and sisters to desist from any acts that could bring this unholy dream to fruition, in the best interest of the Igbo race, and Nigeria at large.

Thanks. undecided

BigBashiru:


It is a symptom of schizophrenia for a person to believe everyone is after them.

Why do the "barriers" exist?? Because African imports are low quality.

You are a complete dunce and ignoramus.

You don't impose high tariffs to discourage low quality imports.

You simply impose QUALITY STANDARDS via legislation and regulation. Products which fail those standards are barred from entry into your market. That is how it is done.

You don't even qualify to be in this discussion or debate, because you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about how international trade, development, and industrialisation work.

You need to go and spend some time reading up on these issues, before you can participate.

Nigeria is not the only country affected by trade barriers, colonization or slave trade - so Nigeria needs to grow up fast stop making excuses and deliver results. Plain and simple.

Dunce, ALL AFRICA is affected by the tariffs for African manufactured goods. It is the reason Ghana and Ivory Coast, the world's largest cocoa producers, earn only 6 billion dollars from the 100 billion dollar chocolate industry.

The minute they try to set up chocolate factories to export processed cocoa, they are met with sky high tariffs which make the products uncompetitive, and so have no choice but to export the cocoa raw.

This is the case with EVERY other African natural resource for which processing is attempted in Africa. It was the reason the USA set up AGOA, which removes tariffs on selected African manufactured goods, and this has helped several African nations export manufactured goods to the US. But the US is only 20% of the world economy, so their efforts are insufficient. ALL the world must remove tariffs on African manufactured goods and create a level playing field for EVERYONE.

Even if the whole world bandied up against Nigeria with trade barriers, Nigeria is still responsible for resolving this problem and deliver results. It's YOUR PROBLEM

Again it is against AFRICA as a whole, not ''Nigeria'', you wingbat, and AFRICA has responded by creating the intra-African free trade zone, which should see intra-continental trade boosted significantly in the coming years.

It will not be a quick transformation, because of the relatively low purchasing power on the continent, and other issues relating to infrastructure, etc, but it will set the ball rolling.

There is no forest in the East to hide ESN (South East is largely built up) as the case maybe with the BH, it then means that most of the fights will be in the open areas and most time innocent civilians will be victim.

Excuse, excuse, excuse! How did China break the barrier?

Dumbo, China became a manufacturing powerhouse by doing what YOU will not accept in Nigeria. They literally banned ALL IMPORTS for 3 decades, their middle classes were forced to ride bicycles when everyone else around the world were driving cars, and all this was enforced by BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP and absolute suppression of civil rights, which continues till today.

Millions of dissidents were jailed and killed in the process, and political prisoners abound there till today.

Are YOU willing to forego all your rights from now till the year 2060 to become self sufficient in manufacturing like China? if not, then SHUT UP.


How did South Korea break the barriers, how is Taiwan doing it?

Dumbo, The 4 'Asian Tigers' were deliberately chosen by the victorious allies after WW2 to serve as capitalist bulwarks against Soviet communism in the Asia pacific, and were given multiple interest free loans, outright monetary grants, massive technology transfer, and most importantly free, unrestrained access to European and US markets for their finished goods. This allowed them to leapfrog in industrialisation in 30 years.

That their NEIGHBOURS - Bhutan, Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar (Burma), Sri lanka, Bangladesh etc are still grossly underdeveloped, worse than many African countries, shows you just how ARTIFICIAL and EXTERNALLY GENERATED their industrialisation was.

India has joined now

India has joined WHAT, exactly?

Firstly there was never any designation of India as a permanent raw material source, so their products are not subject to the high tariffs charged for African manufactures, and secondly, MANY COUNTRIES IN AFRICA HAVE HIGHER LIVING STANDARDS THAN INDIA.

So I've no idea where you are going with that.

You also seem to be GROSSLY IGNORANT of the PROGRESS that Africa has made in the last 30 years.

- Today Africa has the fastest growing middle class in the world.

- 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa.

- ''The number of middle class Africans has tripled over the last 30 years to 313 million people, or more than 34% of the continent’s population, according to a new report from the African Development Bank (AfDB). The reasons for the increase in size and purchasing power of the African middle class include strong economic growth, and a move towards a stable, salaried job culture and away from traditional agricultural activities.''

https://www.afdb.org/fr/news-and-events/africas-middle-class-triples-to-more-than-310m-over-past-30-years-due-to-economic-growth-and-rising-job-culture-reports-afdb-7986


yet Africans talk of barrier and slave trade that ended a century ago.

Dumbo, I never mentioned 'slave trade', and trade barriers (sky high tariffs) are not ''a century ago''. They exist till today. If you had a working brain and were not a school dropout drowning in self-hatred and ignorance, you would grasp these easy things I typed.

Okay you have barriers to the western market, what about serving Africa first. How about serving middle east, asia?

The Middle East and 'Asia' ALSO have set up barriers to manufactured African imports. It is a WORLDWIDE thing, not just a western thing. You cannot fast track industrialisation by ''serving Africa first'' because of low purchasing power on the continent. You need the rich world to buy your manufactured goods, or you cannot generate the capital to see you industrialise rapidly.

Answer is LAZINESS. A typical Nigerian worker will spend 5 out 8 hours on scial media and the internet while at work. The factory is another story ... labour with entitlement mentality and urge to steal.
The north with its vast population is peopled by lazy population, who lay about selling currency instead of being in the farm. Those who own livestock hire children as herders and lay about doing nothing. The South East is peopled with resellers of imports, while the West is home to motor touts. So, where is the productive population?
Go out, the same Nigerians lazing about when the leave Nigeria work 2 jobs. Nurses and Doctors put in approimately 55 hrs a week. But back home it is 35 hrs. Teachers are a different specie, I can'r go there..

I'll just take this pile of vomit and throw it in the trash where it belongs.

TECH - NIGERIA'S NEW OIL

• Meet some of Nigeria’s leading techpreneurs

With the drastic shift from agrarian, industrial and information ages, the future is now tied to providing knowledge-based solutions to practical problems in education, medicine, commerce and industry, environment and other critical areas of human endeavour. Almost on a daily basis in many countries, a new set of young entrepreneurs is emerging to seize the space. Without building factories, they simply deploy IT and basic engineering to create stupendous wealth with less manual efforts while at the same time impacting lives on universal scale. Remarkably, Nigeria is not left out of this global revolution. In fact, on the continent, Nigeria’s young men and women are taking the lead in this brave new world.

With 62,573, United States leads the way in the number of startups per country. But with 713, Nigeria ranks number 16 globally and is above countries like Sweden (663), China (589), Japan (524) and South Africa (436). The value of share and that of unicorns, which speak to the financials of these startups are of course, much lower in Nigeria. With a population of around 8.5 million, Israel also has the largest number of startups per capita in the world. But what the ranking of Nigeria regarding the number of startups shows is the potential for growth in a sector that started just about 12 years ago.

Today, THISDAY begins to profile some of these change agents, who represent the future of Nigeria in the tech world…


Promoting a healthy digital economy takes efforts and with the potentials being demonstrated, government (at all levels) must support these players through a more robust regulatory environment. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has taken the lead in this direction with the establishment of a Tech Sandbox in 2019. Last year, CBN followed up with the release of a draft framework. The idea is for a more formalised process for firms and startups to conduct live tests of all-new, innovative products, services, delivery channels or business models. The CBN must be commended for being forward-thinking!

Meanwhile, the venture capital (VC) scene across the African continent has consistently grown, with an influx of funding from local and international investors reaching unprecedented heights in recent years. From a meagre $400 million raised by African startups in 2015, no less than $2 billion came into the continent in 2019, according to Africa-focused fund Partech Africa.

And Nigeria has consistently remained the top destination followed by Kenya, Egypt and South Africa in that order.

....

It is very remarkable that within just a decade of the knowledge economy in the country, many of Nigeria’s young men and women have broken through barriers to emerge very quickly with Apps and services not only for the Nigerian market but also for the continent. Many have also extended their reach beyond the continent and are now global players. The enduring lesson from their endeavour is that with greater application of knowledge, things much smarter, much more efficiently, and much more productively can be done.
