In a recent article published on ThisDayLive.com, leader of thought Reno Omokri has blasted the trend of treating Igbos as unwanted. He described Igbos as ‘palm trees that show there is water in the desert’

He said,


"Igbos are like palm trees in the desert. If you see palm trees, you know water is there.

"If you see an Igbo in a town, you know progress is there. Not as if they go where progress is. They themselves are seed of progress that yield harvests of progress.

"To have a proper understanding of what the Igbo have achieved, consider that every Igbo man, woman and child in Nigeria was reduced to £20 after the civil war in 1970.

"But look at how far they have come since then. They turned adversity to prosperity.

"No ethnic group are as Nigerian as the Igbo. An Igbo builds his family, his house and his businesses in whatever part of Nigeria he finds himself.

"They do not exploit other regions. They expand other regions. It is a disservice to treat them as unwanted.

"Instead of making Igbos feel unwelcome, leaders should welcome them. Anyone who thinks the Igbo really want to break away does not understand economics.

"In 2003, Elrufai revealed Igbos own 73% of land in Abuja. Google it. That is commitment to Nigeria.

"This idea that Igbo come to exploit other regions is unscientific. Igbos create value. They do not take value already created.

"Example, by opening shops, Igbos create value by meeting a need. Without Igbo, the price of spare-parts in the North will be x4ce"

Can you show us these in Enugu That is Omu asata inside enugu city.

Gotze1:
Why does Ogun has more igr more than entire SE?

Honor10:
oga! just keep shut, and save us your lamentation, no one is holding Igbo down, I repeat no one, the point is; u guys are constituting nuisance to our land, as a matter of fact u are a parasites to this country, but u don't expect Yoruba to be frontin ur agitation now, tell ur useless senators to come together and sponsor the bill, u don't expect Yoruba senators to do that for u, do u? u are the one that are agitating to leave and na u no dey stay ur undeveloped region, who are u deceiving?

And all ur rant is on Lagos, remove Lagos and other SW States IGR is two times all ur 5 useless states, the point is Igbo land is a desolate and unprofitable land, nothing happen there.

I know, this is painful, but it is the truth.

Kennydoc:
You're right. That's a real fact!
If South East becomes a country tomorrow, it will have one of the highest population densities in Africa. There isn't much land to waste in most towns and villages.

U need drain the cancer remnants off your brain. Myopic fool.

Printerscanner:
When will Igbos stop being stupid? Can we all see that this old idiot is a nincompoop, a tribal bigot, a religious extremist and a good for nothing pig?

Imagine these old idiot saying that Igbos planned the failed January 15, 1966 coup in order to make a Yoruba man the Prime Minister when it was an Igbo idiot called Nnamdi Azikiwe that colluded with a Fulani misfit called Tafawa Balewa to put Awo in jail.

I pity this tribe of drug pushers, armed robbers, kidnappers, fake drug manufacturers, prostitutes and baby factory operators. No wonder they are prisons all over the world for different criminal offenses.

Oshigun:
See this is the problem of the Igbo man. Unbridled arrogance and uncontrollable chest-beating that makes him feel he is better than others and has nothing to learn from them whereas wisdom is accepting you don't know it all and must, to keep growing and achieving, always drink from the fountain of knowledge others possess be they Istsekiri, Yoruba, Urhobo or Fulani.

How many times must the thread below be shown to you stubborn creatures for you to learn that the Igbo man is all mouth and must begin giving credit to others? You politicians started this nonsense proclaiming themselves supremely gifted and ordained to rule by God many many decades ago as if we are are not all God's children and as if God is bigoted enough to be discriminating amongst his children.

It is Igbos who will brag they are the special children of God who are the most capable at everythjng. Yet others achieve silently, and far more than them, in the background to prove the Igbo man is the most delusion creature on earth. I have learnt Igbos just suffer from inferiority complex and this is why they exaggerate and over-amplify their success while others just get on with succeeding and winning silently as the thread below shows.

Guestlander:
Indeed. The slaughter carried out by ibo soldiers against the Hausa and Yoruba leaders must then be because Yoruba and Hausa eclipsed the achievements of ibos.

Guestlander:
They are helped by the government indeed. Can a Kenyan tell me more about Nigeria and Nigerians? I doubt it. There are hard working Nigerians of all tribes, there are also lazy Nigerians of all tribes.
I don't subscribe to shallow and dumb ethnic chauvinism.

Guestlander:
I don't take the opinions of ignorant people seriously. What are basis for such comparison. Ibos are more competitive and yet they never ventured outside of iboland until the whites found them there.
Igbo are more competitive than other tribes in terms of economic activities? Nonsense, that is a lie you tell yourself to amuse yourself.
List the richest Nigerians and the list will still be dominated by Hausa and Yoruba.
Selling stuff, as in petty trading is not the only economic activity in Nigeria.

Guestlander:
Ogunmuyiwa Olayinka indeed. Even the ethnic chauvinist have to hide under a Yoruba name knowing most people will not even bother to read his nonsense if he had used his own name.
Inconsequential morons.

The town... Their villages are not peaceful.

litdutchboy:
The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of the personal example, which are the hallmarks of true leadership.

Why can't Nigeria's leader replicate the world class roads,hospitals,transportation and electricity of the western world they see when they
travel to the western world?

How does the corrupt Buhari feel, when he goes to New York,London,Berlin, Paris etc and see what other leaders accomplished. Why do Nigerians leaders choose to keep the country as one of the world's biggest shitholes?

dealslip:
Basically this administration clearly brought to the open that Nigeria was built on injustice, hypocrisy and oppression. We won't go far, if we don't face the hypocrisy of the religious north. Despite the religious hypocrisy it still has the highest abusers of drugs, highest death rate in Nigeria, serious illiteracy, demonic blood shedding, unproductive population who continue to latch to the national purse while contributing little yet causes the nation to expend so much on ammunition because of the brand of Islam they practice. Sharia is beffittng only for the poor and not the elite. Tell me alcohol wasn't served at Fatima Ganduje's wedding. They should be left out of alcohol tax let us the south benefit from our 'immorality' alone.

kmcutez:
Are you kidding me? There is shoprite , repair companies for your cars etc, not all these useless roadside mechanics littering the environment. Travel out of Nigeria to other mega cities to see how things are run. Eko ni baje.
