meccuno:
you really have to give the igbos credit though......the 3 year civil war was actually fought in their land.......most students stopped schooling for 3 years,gowon regime promised the 3 R's, the federal Government through their finance minister awolowo gave them 20 pounds irrespective of whatever they had in the bank,they have been frustrated by the other two tribes namely the sw and the North in federal presence and appointments and the mischievous indigenisation policy led by awolowo .............BUT still,the Igbos have managed to CLOSE the gap once again......the same thing happened in the early 1920's to the 1950's......it shows how industrious and can do spirit of an average igbo man........who ever believed that these same people that were starved marginalised and treated like conquered people would still rise from the ashes?? A wise igbo man once said that no matter how deep a pit is, and u throw an igbo man there, he would struggle and make that pit an avenue for wealth.......am not a tribal jingoist nor am I an igbo supremacist but these are things I see happening everyday.......a new generation of igbo people are emerging,who have a deep sense of what this country Nigeria has in stock for them......they have developed a thick skin and know how to manoeuvre the negative Nigerian system and in a few years time they would raise their head fully above the troubled waters of Nigeria............the bank List is a testament to that

thanks for been objective...the only fault in your argument is the blame u put on AWOLOWO.. awolowo was not the head of state nor was he d finance minister of biafra...his job was to make sure nigeria finances was in order and not BIAFRA. yet awolowo was sympathetic to the ibos, which was y der properties were returned to them in the west (awolowo region) remember ibos properties in (south-south and north) were not returned to them...yet he is not giving is due... yes innocent ibos(civilians) died in the war...dat can never be excused...but the biafrians solders killed innocent nigerians as well... the ibos are enterprising and highly DRIVEN ...wich i greatly admire ...but of all the ACTORS in the civil war on both side...AWOLOWO WAS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS.....cheers

hmmmm..well the igbos/south-east are the 2nd most succesful people in nigeria after the yorubas... the ibos control trade (retail/distribution) of goods in nigeria and they are entrenched in the banking sector as well.. but the yorubas owns most of the indigenous manufacturing/industries and are the main stay of the oil/gas sector of nigeria..the yorubas also lead in education investments as well... the south-west is home to more industrial production/output than the rest of NIGERIA (remaining 5 regions).. the igbos have caught up to the yorubas in almost all sectors and human endeavor BUT the yorubas are more RESOURCEFUL overtime..
we can argue till 2moro but in all possible index of comparison be it EDUCATION/REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT/ENTERTAINMENT/POLITICS/INDUSTRY /CULTURE AND INFLUENCE within and outside nigeria...then the YORUBAS wins in most...
cheers
