Which one has been done in Abuja, OUR FCT (since 2008 )?? Which one has been done in West Africa?! C'mon, give credit when its due. It is the smallest state in Nigeria, we are talking about.

having to build a house In an erosion ravaged region like the southeast where the value of land Is like hell, wheny will a hausa man spend such a fortune when he can easily build two houses in his natIve state wIth the same amout of money. perhaps we could ask the yorubas why having a good reputation as the landlords of the country still don't own landed properties in the southeast

nagoma:
Igbos themselves are [b]afraid [/b]of the SE , why would you want a northerner to invest there. It's just like begging them to please, please come and kidnap me.
In any case are you planning to attack Northern investment ? I suggest you go to the north & even there is manly large farmlands - how can you destroy that? The few factories in kano are not working as there is no electricity and the southern government of the highly educated remains clueless.

Kidnapping is just a recent development in the last 4 years or so. I dont think that has anything to do with the issue.

I have no idea. You are going to need Hausa to answer this one.

Remember I said Dangote will invest in Igboland if he sees profit in Investing there. Dangote is already making lots of profit from Igboland without investing there, so maybe that's why he's satisfied and not willing to go further. Igbo middlemen are making money for Dangote by buying dangote products in bulk and distributing in Igboland.

Dude you make it as if those that he employs in lagos and sokoto are only yorubas and hausas respectively

That is wrong, infact very wrong . one of the head of the company for distrubution in lagos ikoyi is an Igbo man

it is not necessary he invest in Igboland, so long as he does not discriminate again people of igbo origin, then fine

lagcity:
No. Dangote doesn't belong there. Also he doesn't have to set up business directly in the east, that's his choice. Dangote is a shrewd businessman and he'll invest in Igboland if he sees profit in it.

Abagworo:
Very true but I don't know the origin of that culture.The great Zik was born and brought up in Zungeru and so many Igbos were said to own properties in the North and West before independence.It is therefore not because of poor infrastructure but poor investment culture.

lagcity:
Well, the kind of businesses that Northerners do doesn't really require massive brick-and-mortar investments. The Hausa/Fulani have figured out what business model and practices work best for them and they are sticking to it. It gives them more flexibilitiy to move around and there's nothing wrong with that. SouthEast should worry about Igbo businesses and leave the Hausas alone.

The focus of my first post was not crime reduction and as I stated earlier, potential criminals who are employed tend not to act out their criminal objectives.

Note that, in a democracy, interest groups are well advised to lobby agencies because those agencies, ideally, must allocate those resources based on subjective priorities in many cases.  If Ndigbo refuses to lobby Nnaji, one way or the other, to allocate some of the resources in his disposal, towards projects in the East, I'm afraid those resources will be allocated elsewhere, including into the pockets of known rogues who, hitherto have been doing all the lobbying.

ndu_chucks:
I did not intend to insinuate that Igboland is the most criminal part of Nigeria by any means, I’m afraid that your own bias implanted that notion in your mind. The relevant point is that, crimes are reduced when potential criminals are employed.
Your point as to the reason why Igbos invest far away from the East is well taken, after all an investor should naturally be attracted to areas where his profit would be maximized so that he/she can significantly increase shareholder value.  All I am say is that some of Igbo investors need to start aggressively investing in the East and partner with state governments to develop the region.

Some Igbo friends I know are currently working to invest in the power generation industry and possibly power distribution as well, with their base located in the East.  Nnaji is in charge of power, enough pressure and lobbying should be applied on him and his office to ensure that some of the power generation capacity is located in the East. No one will develop the East but Ndigbo, its time to shine eyes very well. Pressure should be applied on Madam Ngozi as well to ensure that she not only take care of the needs of our debt holders but those of Ndigbo.  Ati be be lo – etc etc

P.S. olodo is a term of endearment  from my perspective.  Trust me, if I want to abuse you, you  it will be very clear.  Surely you skin is thicker than this, we call you people, aje’kuta ma munmi (person wey fit eat stone without drinking water) , don’t disappoint me with this wusie fear of a harmless word like olodo.

nwannem, how is it possible not to like Ndu_chucks, ehn? Anyway, me I have nothing but love for you people.

ndu_chucks:
What is the matter with you people and juvenile name calling? I forgive you sha, since the rest your contribution as shown in the above post is not juvenile as well. ma fi iso kinkini ba'idi je (make you no take fart reduce the glory of yansh) olodo

Are you telling me your are corny too? (I really think you are) Or your are just the real illiterate asking me to pay attention to your illiteracy because you don't know the meaning of [b]corny [/b]or how to use it?

Dangote has.

@op don't u think that there COWs GOATs and all other goods mentioned above are INVESTMENTS, u would be surprised to learn how much those cow and goat are worth!!! Am not from the north but I knw for sure that not all are evil but the good ones are in the minority

why should we invest in the southeast when infact the igbos themselves have reportedly refused to develop their own area. investing in the southeast one must employ all necessary dubious, ritual and illegal means to survive. an average northern business man would not too inclined to go that extra mile just to make profit. however northern business men have invested in the southsouth and edo state just as we have invested in southwest also. by the way can the poster also mention any notable investment by the yorubas in igboland, when in fact yorubas hardy reside in the southsouth or southeast, the Few yorubas you see work in oil companies and ffinancial institutions.

the igbos should look inward for their woes.

Eko Ile:
Very corny
