NtoAkwaIbom:
Hahahahaha
See this one.. Nk and fellow ipobs will attack u for saying that u dnt need the Niger Delta.

This is what this moniker is for, to get u guys to ur senses...
One down..

You guys are completely irrelevant in igbo discourse. I, for one have never wanted anything to do with you guys. You've absolutely nothing to offer the igbos. Stop taking yourself too serious because you've got nothing to offer to my people. Let me sound it clearly one more time......... I would never support an independent igbo nation with you guys. God forbid!

To hell with restructuring. We need outright disintegration. Who restructuring help.

NtoAkwaIbom:
Ankio Briggs will clme and be clamoring for break up, me i am for a United Niger Delta Republic ... But how prepared are we Niger Deltans for this ?

I use to feel that Godswill Akpabio was the best thing to happen to good governance in Nigeria, not untill i stayed in lagos for a while to see the sheer quality of infrastructure there.

The roads were off the charts, the sheer massiveness , and thickness.. I was humbled, i couldn't help confessing of the quality of leaders that the West was blessed with, qualty cadre of folks who did things without making so much noise bout them.

WHEN THEY SAY BREAK UP, I ASK.
Who are the leaders of the Creeks ?
Asari Dokubo,? Tompolo ? Ayiri ? Johnathan ?

Asari Dokubo, that claimed to fight for us, but when the money came he ran to benjn to invest, leaving the creek as ruined as it was.

Tompolo claimed to fight for his people but when the slightest chance came, he sold all his community lands and eloped with the money.

Johnathan stayed for 6yrs without doin a thing, for his people not to talk of other citizens of the creeks.

Diezani Maduekwe stole our oil money and built sky scrapers in Lagos, while the creek continued to lie in ruins and desolation ...

Tomorrow if we are to breakaway these are the people who will either be in the helms of affairs or the ones playing the rythm for the stooge in power to dance to.
Do we think their "Eat ur share and clean ur mouth" mentality will change ?

The Niger Delta wil be worst than South Sudan, as all those folks will quickly fight each oda for their selfish interests...
I am not ready to be writting to the UN to save us, hence i am fighting that we stay in Nigeria, and then get the youths of the creeks to think straight, before we break away...

And going with Biafra is like 200% worst than what Niger Delta will be..
You need to see Kanu celebrating and feeling like a king, while the comrades who swore to die for him languish in prison, while he tours around.. A good leader is always the first in the ship, and the last to leave.

Meh wed dô mma, di ufok nnyin di Mia.

After all your rantings, you just had to find a way to smuggle the igbos into your discourse. Hear me clearly, I'd rather we stay in Nigeria than have a confused lots as the Niger delta in any igbo nation. God forbid! I'll never support any biafra that is not entirely igbo. I'm tired of this constant cry of marginalisation. We have every we need to stand alone. The energy you waste in talking about the igbos should be channeled to your phantom Niger delta Republic. We have no need for you guys. See mouse wey dey hide make vulture no carry am as if to say the vulture don even gree say e go carry the mouse.

iHart:
Umuahia...

I sent you a whatsapp message. Is it fresh vegetable oil you use or unrefined pko? I stay in Cameroon street by Enugu road.

GoldNiagara:
So you think I will read this so long a letter. You know that saying that what has been seen cannot be unseen, I don't allow poo into my mind.

You can stew in your ignorance and hate for all I care. Ciao!

GoldNiagara:
What is he yapping about, it is like that thing that won't shut up.

What are the yorubas really good at. Just mention one thing. No wonder your tribe is well renowned for all talk and no action. How hard enough is it for you to tell me what you guys have done better than the igbos. Propaganda ain't saving you guys anymore. This is the age of internet where every claim can be easily verified. Ogbeni, if you can't list one area your people have bested my people, this would be my last reply to you.




To my brothers, bikonu let's avoid these guys like plague. We shouldn't dignify them with a reply seeing that their aim is to derail this thread.

GoldNiagara:
Okay! is that all! But Pascal is the owner of Mtn. Continue, seem stupidity just find all flatinoes attractive.

Nigeria Must Not Let the Igbos Leave this Union, By Tony OsborgPremium Times July 11, 2016 #TrueFederalism: Nigeria Must Not Let the Igbos Leave this Union, By Tony Osborg2016-07-11T14:20:08+00:00 Comment (11)
Biafra


Nigeria has a choice to restructure or let the Igbos go. If the Federal Government does not make the right choice, the Igbos will make it for themselves and Nigeria will be the loser. I believe boundaries should be destroyed and not further created in our time, which is why we ought to support restructuring, rather than secession.

I have tried to measure the contribution of Igbos to the development of the Nigerian project and the conclusion I have reached is that Nigeria must do everything possible to get the Igbos to remain within the Nigerian union. They (Igbos) have contributed unprecedentedly to the development of the country in EVERY sector. They are an exceptional nationality, comprising ‘born’ entrepreneurs, industrialists, academics, adventurists, etc. A Nigeria without this set of people and their drive for economic success might be boring and uninteresting.

In terms of their industrial spirit, the Igbo are probably the only nationality that has built several industrial estates across Nigeria. In 1997, an Igbo engineer, Ezekiel Izuogu, produced Nigeria’s first indigenous prototype car in Imo State. Africa was excited by his ingenuity. However, due to financial constraints and dirty Nigerian politics, the Izuogu Z-600 model could not hit the Nigerian market as a mass produced car. His workshop was later vandalised and his efforts destroyed. The dream died. Few decades later another Igbo, Innocent Chukwuma, has launched Innoson cars, making him the first indigenous car producer in and from Nigeria. Anambra and Enugu States alone have over six indigenous estates. By indigenous I mean industrial estates built by indigenes, and with little or no government support. Nigeria’s first indigenous car is made in one of those estates – in Nnewi precisely. The industrial estates are hosts to several other indigenous manufacturing companies, including one of the biggest plastic manufacturing plants in Africa. One would be pleasantly surprised to see what the Igbos are producing in their industrial estates. It will not be wrong to say that Igbos are driving the indigenous manufacturing sector of the Nigerian economy with little or no government support. The first indigenous Nigerian company to produce an internationally certified brand of computers, Zinox, is Igbo, by the name, Stanley Nnamdi Ekeh from Imo State. The Igbos dominate the electronics market and have built a series of ‘computer villages’ across the country. Nigeria’s leading pharmaceutical companies – Emzor, Juhel, Orange, Rico, etc. – are Igbo owned. Anabel Mobile, the first indigenous Nigerian phone manufacturer, is also Igbo owned. There are several industrial breakthroughs the Igbos have made in Nigeria than I can presently count.

On the level of trade and retail businesses, Igbos are the most successful traders and retailers in Nigeria, and possibly around the world. Across every Nigerian city, they do not only control the major retail markets, but they equally dominate small and medium scale industries, and are synonymous with the description of being ‘importers’. Their natural inclination towards economic activities has driven them across the globe in search of opportunities. There is hardly a country in the world where you don’t find an Igbo man doing one legitimate or illegitimate form of business. The Igbos have proven to the rest of Nigeria beyond reasonable doubt that they are not lazy people.

In Literature, the father of modern African Literature is an Igbo man by the name Chinua Achebe. His work, Things Fall Apart has remained one of Africa’s most read book, which brought international attention to Nigerian literature. Chinua Achebe remains an inspiration to most African writers.


While the Igbos laid the foundation for political revolutions in Nigeria, today they are demanding for an independent nation. The Igbos like to fight for what they believe in and they always do while damning the consequences of this.

In politics, the Igbo are the only nationality to have successfully executed Nigeria’s first and only political revolution, with the subsequent military coups being merely revenge ploys and schemes for political power. In 1966, a group of senior Igbo officers forcefully took over power and wiped out a set of corrupt politicians in a bloody putsch. Although with the intention of installing the imprisoned opposition leader, Obafemi Awolowo, as president, however the coup was unfortunately altered by another senior Igbo officer, Aguiyi Ironsi, who not only distorted the initial plan but ended up making himself a military ruler and at the same time ended Nigeria’s federalism by decreeing a new form of unitarism. While the Igbos laid the foundation for political revolutions in Nigeria, today they are demanding for an independent nation. The Igbos like to fight for what they believe in and they always do while damning the consequences of this.

The Igbos control a fair share of the oil and gas servicing industry in Nigeria. The biggest indigenous oil servicing contractor in Nigeria today is Igbo owned. The first indigenous and independently (without any shred of government funding) owned gas power plant was built by an Igbo in Aba – the Geometric Power Limited. From haulage to logistics, procurement to real estate, finance, sports, entertainment, manufacturing, engineering to medicine, science, etc., the Igbos have been making Nigeria proud, locally and internationally. The Igbos might be arrogant and even exploitative in their quest for profits and expansionism, yet Nigeria can ill afford to lose them from the union. They technically control the formal and informal sectors of Nigerian economy and they are everywhere making progress, with or without political patronage. I was surprised to find out sometime last year that Igbos still engage in rural-riverine-onshore trading across the remotest villages of the Niger Delta. In this remote village near the Atlantic ocean in Bayelsa State that is only accessible through water and the air, these entrepreneurial Igbos have designed a floating market. They bring in their goods, dock their big boats once in two weeks, make sales and move to another village along that dangerous terrain – a business idea the indigenes of that area have never considered venturing into. The Igbos are definitely risk takers!

In this community where I have stayed for the past few months in Anambra state, the number of modern houses in this non-industrial, non-commercial small Igbo village is more than I have seen in all the oil communities I have visited in the Niger Delta put together. The Igbos are that successful and they always remember to invest in real estate in their home states.

The Igbo influence in the Roman Catholic Church worldwide is amazing. An Igbo, Cardinal Arinze was once rumoured to become the first black Pope! The Igbos have a strong affinity with the Roman Catholic Church and they have made a mark on the church globally.


In contemporary fiscal management, the Igbo states have managed to stay afloat and sustain recurrent and capital expenditures, even when major oil producing states are already endangered. Anambra, Enugu and other Igbo states have proven that there is an economy beyond federal allocations and free oil money.

Anyone who thinks the Igbos cannot survive as an independent nation might need to have a rethink. Just less than four decades after they were defeated in a bloody civil war and denied their property and work spaces across Nigeria, they have risen to produce one of the highest number of billionaires, entreprenuers, and industrialists, etc in Nigeria. They have risen from being a defeated nationality to becoming the dominating factor in the Nigerian economy. They have built indigenous industrial cities, turned out to be the most literate people in Nigeria, dominated several industries and have made Nigeria proud on the world scene. If a people can rise to achieve these with little or no governmental support, one can only imagine what they will become as a republic of Biafra.

Enugu has sufficient coal to power the energy needs of an industrial economy. Anambra, Abia and Imo states have abundant reserves of crude oil and natural gas. They also have access to the sea through the Imo and Niger rivers. Anambra has three commercial and industrial cities concentrating on manufacturing and trade. Ebonyi is the agriculture base of Igbo land; producing rice, salt, and other farm produce. Abia has Aba as an international marketing hub, and over 100 untapped oil wells, with a series of indigenous manufacturing firms.

foraminifera

In contemporary fiscal management, the Igbo states have managed to stay afloat and sustain recurrent and capital expenditures, even when major oil producing states are already endangered. Anambra, Enugu and other Igbo states have proven that there is an economy beyond federal allocations and free oil money. They have scored high in security, education, healthcare, job creation, entrepreneurship, sports, trade, etc.

Many people have argued that the Igbos would lose their investments across Nigeria if Biafra happens. This is an archaic and primitive way of thinking. An independent Biafran nation will not likely alter any Igbo socio-economic relationship with the outside world, Nigeria inclusive. An independent Biafran nation will not stop Innoson vehicles from been sold in Nigerian markets, and also Juhel pharmaceutical products. A new Biafran nation will not stop any Igbo man from being a landlord in Abuja, Kano or Port Harcourt. It will not stop an Hausa man from still trading in Onitsha. An independent Biafran will only give the Igbos a political status in the world order which will in turn further stimulate their reorientation towards profit repatriation to further the development of their homeland and eradicate their perception of a federal neocolonialism as presently engendered by Nigeria’s skewed political system. An independent Biafran Nation has the potential of becoming the Japan of Africa.


I believe true federalism will fix Nigeria and give the Igbos their desired autonomy while remaining as Nigerians. I believe we all have a choice to make true federalism happen as soon as possible before Nigeria reaches the limits of its elastic point.

The Igbos want autonomy and control of their lives without feeling marginalised and oppressed. Nigeria can give them this sense of autonomy, without necessarily losing them. This is the direction every sensible federal leader should be looking at. How do we satisfy the desire for autonomy by the Igbos and other Nigerian nationalities without necessarily losing them as members of the federation? This is where true federalism comes in.

True federalism will not only give the Igbos a sense of autonomy but will equally position them to further drive the national economy through healthy competition and regional integration. True Federalism will enhance the possibility of Igbo land becoming the Japan of Nigeria. It is possible.

Nigeria has a choice to restructure or let the Igbos go. If the Federal Government does not make the right choice, the Igbos will make it for themselves and Nigeria will be the loser. I believe boundaries should be destroyed and not further created in our time, which is why we ought to support restructuring, rather than secession. The Igbos have nothing to lose with their secession agenda, and it is Nigeria that will lose. This is why Nigeria should now be proffering solutions and not fuelling the agitation.

I believe the Igbos will be better positioned under a restructured Nigeria.

I do not believe in secession as a solution even though I respect their right to secession.

I believe true federalism will fix Nigeria and give the Igbos their desired autonomy while remaining as Nigerians. I believe we all have a choice to make true federalism happen as soon as possible before Nigeria reaches the limits of its elastic point.

The thing never pain you reach, you will bang your head the ground before I take you seriously, she your hand and head are paining you or you don't know how to use google.Nwanne beat it, before I strip you of your remaining wretched dignity.

Talk talk talk and more talk. I just wish my brothers here would ignore you lots. You've got nothing to argue with. Name one industry the Yorubas have bested the Igbos in before I start taking you serious. This back and forth bickering is not going to help anybody here. Just name one industry, Just one. Bunch of sore losers.

GoldNiagara:
Specious Conclusions.Deal with it. Please stop asking questions when you have made up you mind and draw your conclusions, it makes you dubious.

You lots have constituted yourselves into nuisance here. Like I told your brother, I'd be seriously pained too seeing these pictures too. The young man asked you a simple question; Just mention one industry your people have bested the igbos in then we would gladly pick up the gauntlet. This is not propaganda and media hype with no substance whatsoever. Just name one industry... Just one or forever be quite. You lots are petty and laughable.

ok bros..

pls bro do you still have that eBook on soap making you bought around 2years ago? If yes, can you send. I'll pay if necessary. I hope to hear from you soonest.

I will get in touch shortly..

Pls do my brother. I tried logging into your website but it's not going through. I sent you a mail through the email I saw in your old thread.

CosmeticChemist:
Buy Pko and palm kernel cakes..

I have trying to reach you bro. I saw your thread on soap making and I have few questions I would love to ask. I sent a mail to the email I saw attached to the thread. It's very urgent my brother. You can add me on WhatsApp or you can send your number to. I appreciate bro.

If you are not interested in my rubbish, then what are you doing here. I thought there's is a thread meant for showcasing companies owned by yorubas.

Nearly everything listed in this thread are fake while others are not based in iboland and are of no use or relevance to iboland in terms if taxes and IGR which translates to development.

Like I told you bro, you have no argument whatsoever. You're free whatever it is that'll make you happy. I guess what you're seeing here defies the propaganda your people have been disseminating. Believing it or not changes nothing. Just remember that you can't go a day or two without using a product made by an igboman. If I were you, I'd be so bitter too. I can't just wait for this country to disintegrate so that everybody go answer him papa name.

Not anywhere close to or located in iboland.


ZERO benefit to you and iboland.

you've got no argument bro. The aim of the thread was to prove that the igbos are a force to be reckoned with in everything. Where the industries are located are immaterial. We control the entire manufacturing companies in igboland. We have a sizeable share in Lagos, ogun, portharcourt etc. You've got to give it up for the igbos lest you start sounding like a broken record. While we still cohabit this geographical space called Nigeria, we must recover all that was stolen/taken from us.

Umunne bikonu jisie nu ike n'ihi n'anyi kariri okwu anyi kotere. Anyi ga egosi ndi nigeria n'anyi bu oka mba. It's time to let them know that we are back to take back what belongs to us. It's time to take our rightfulplace as the blessed of the Lord. I love being igbo.

Before na lie?

There seems to be no end in sight to these blame games. In my humble opinion, I think proper attention should be paid to the economy, while not forgetting the fight against corruption. No be fight against corruption man pikin go chop na.

This our army sef. Was it really necessary for the army to disclose this news publicly? With this announcement, the coup plotters, if any, would be extra careful. Our security outfits should learn to be discrete sometimes. Silence ad they say, is golden.

Imagine the audacity.

Any roundtable discussion without the assurance of regionalism or fiscal federalism is dead on arrival. The ND should use this opportunity to call for resource control.

sochima1989:
the so called biafrans make the miss hit that they have oil............also they fail to understand that they have the least number of 40's to 50's age grade, they have the least number of farmers in Nigeria, very high tendency of betrayal and the assumption that the runaway youths in the diaspora will come to their aid............i have always heard about the biafra state from my age of 5 and after 20 years same set of old family friends are still waiting for some super power aliens to help them..........
and if you ask them why they wanna leave u will hear a very dumb answer that we are being marginalized.......as if thats not the definition of democracy

I find this joke of a quote highly irrelevant. I'm an igbo man and i used to believe so much in 1 nigeria. Alas, it looks like the more you wish to believe in nigeria, the more it gives u the reason not to. I believe in the republic of igboland not because we're marginalized in nigeria but because nigeria is not going to get developed any time soon. I need good roads, pipe borne water, jobs, good health care and quality education in igboland. Nigeria is not going to get there anytime soon, hence the need to balkanize the country.

I've been a mere spectator since the agitation for the restoration of biafra began, but i wish to make a contribution with respect to this thread. It would have been such a great idea if nigeria were to remain indivisible but a look at the state of things leaves much to be desired. Successive govts have failed to address the grievances of the igbo nation and as such have allowed the wounds of the civil war to fester. As much as i respect the views of others, but the most absurd thing is to find a pro-nigeria igbo man. Igbos over the years have demonstrated that they're more nigerian than the others but such gestures have gone unrequited. Honestly, i see no end in sight to our sufferings. Based on these premises, i call for a referendum in the former eastern region.

To say that I'm proud of Anambra state will be an understatement. I thoroughly enjoyed myself this evening seeing FKO81's pictures. We should support our able governor in the way of prompt payment of our taxes. We should also endeavour to carry other igbo states along. Nothing will give me greater joy than seeing by beloved Igboland develop independent of Nigeria. Let's succeeded in Nigeria. Let's build the Igboland of our dream. On a final note, Let's maintain decorum on this thread. This constant back and forth argument about Obi should be avoided at all cost. I really appreciate all who have sworn to make this thread a success especially FKO81. Udo diri unu nile.

I entered this thread to read about the latest development in my dear state, only to be confronted by this show of shame. I've no qualms with abagworo commenting on this thread as he has that freedom, but he should endeavour to be constructive in his criticism. Biko chino ozuola cos people are really getting tired of you messing up this thread every time. Get this straight, abagworo is entitled to comment on any thread he deems fit as you neither bought a phone for him nor the data for browsing. You antics are only dragging us behind. Borrow a leaf from those at the enugu thread and grow up for once. Isn't it apparent to you that nobody wants to join issues with you cos you've lost a lot of goodwill here.
