I feel glad that you are seeing this but it is not enough, 70% of your people in niger delta apart from the anangs and efiks with Ibibio who have same outlook with us igbos with igboid people in ND excluding ikwerre are still igbophobic, they told them that igbo will dominate them but it has never been in history that igbos are possessive...it was the Benin that used their monarchy on ND not igbos, they peddle rumours that igbo are greedy, the last time i checked it was the ikwerre and Ijaw that took over properties of igbos in Rivers terming them abandoned property now how greedy are igbos. They came and told them that we want their oyel...igbo is not oil crazy and the future is gas which is very much in Anambra Imo and even Abia basin. So the Igbo came to you with a clean heart and hand but what did we get from your people We have forgiven, forgotten and we are moving on..we want you to move with us...the Igbo man isn’t a man that depends on oil or some funny thing but himself. I think my brother you have to let them know this. The sons of Oduduwa has so messed up your people psyche that devide and rule is the key, we saw how they treated Saro Wiwa with their masters, Oga Jona is the newest. Have you been to Abuja lately? It is when Abuja is replicated in ND then I will understand that we are in a just country ...but if not. I give up The dog cant feed on feaces and the goat teeth with be dirty while the dogs will be neat. This is an igbo adage. I am happy you are seeing what we saw 40yrs ago. It is well with us all. Whenever one wakes is his morning. I love your spirit. Keep saying the truth. You have my prayers dearpreye: |
Let Igbo brains spring forth and excogitate ways to maintain the leadership Heaven has thrust upon them, particularly leadership in agriculture, business, education, politics, and medicines. There are sore difficulties involved in leading Nigeria by way of increased agricultural production because the Igbos have not much arable land, as you have in Benue State and other states in Northern Nigeria.And if the Igbos manage to buy some arable land, good policies will have to be put in place to prevent people squabbling and committing crimes as inhabitants in the Western Nigeria do with body parts. Try confiscating Izza land in Abakaliki, and you risk of having disgruntled men come after you with machetes, and blunt implements. Entrepreneurship won’t do it because the Northern Nigerian oligarchies, as hosts, do not usually allow the visitor free purchasing power in land . Case in point: Igbo visitors in Northern Nigeria are chased out after developing the land. With the level of economic power the Igbos have, they can easily electrify Nigeria, build roads, and usher in massive industrial development to make unemployment a thing of the past. Will non-Igbo tribes whose faces are contorted by murderous jealousy allow this to happen? Please reread my essay on Nigeria being the burden of suffering Igbos: the Igbos must develop Nigeria and be willing to die in the process. Since agriculture and education are not viable tools in Igbos hands to develop Nigeria, could one consider entrepreneurship as an alternative? But my homeboy Silas stopped me with a reminder: “Remember the Ebenato man from near your mother’s village and how he placed his medical degree from India in the toilet and went into business like crazy?” What of education? Because the Igbos have been lovers of education long before Nigeria achieved independence as a sovereign nation, they had become successful community developers, city planters, and managers of schools.Igbos went to school with intensity and acquired all types of skills that kept Nigerian in good stead as the country prepared for self government. There are Igbos with expertise in all fields Nigeria needs to develop as a nation. It is unfortunate that tribalism, nepotism, and greed do not permit full exploitation of Igbo talents. After working for 2- years as so at jobs under dangerous, unfriendly conditions, the Igbos are packing their bags and heading into business, Silas comes again: “Remember that young doctor from your village with engineering doctorate who served as commissioner for the environment in the North and how he quit and went into self employment at Abuja?” Yes, I remember this man and once spoke with him. “Dr O (real name), Sir, what are you doing at Abuja?” “Environmental consulting with Federal Government.” “Ehe, damn. Why’s that so, homeboy?” “I just don’t see myself working for someone in a hostile environment or being in some political appointment.” How do the Igbos measure up in politics? There are rumors the Igbos arenot temperamentally suited for politics; they are too inflexible, impatient, proud, self aggrandizing, and possess a convoluted theory of tribal superiority (just as the Jews do).Many Igbo friends decry corruption, downrightthievery and piracy of national treasury. Yet, give the some Igbos power over some important entities such as the Central Bank, and see what happens. From the body parts traders to the West and the cattle herdsmen in the North, the Igbos must not learn to rob motherland literally blind. Success in politics requires you learn by association and play wuruwuru games with the Hausas, Fulanis, Yorubas, Oyibo, armed robbers and kidnappers, all of whom you hold dear as bosom friends. Besides, politics isn’t about progress or love of country. The Igbos must be chameleons that change colors to match the environment? Successful Igbos are those who understand how to accommodate the other Nigerian tribes. Why Accommodation Is Not Enough is a topic for another essay. |

You that have contributed trillion how is South West Reggion...oh has aregbe and co paid salary...oh they were helped Thank lord you said that we are developing other peoples place...yet you said that what do we contribute. So you can see how stupid you are. Back to development we all know that lagos was developed by all the tribes in Nigeria and Yoruba cant take credit for that because i think they lack the capacity to develop a city of that magnitude...thanks to niger delta and oil from east. If the yorubas were contributing much why couldn’t they pay salaries, why are their cities like Ibadan, ife, ilesan, Abeokuta and ota looking so desolate..please apart from lagos which other city that is compared or can be compared to any city in the east in terms of infrastructure, building and economy. How many cities have functional airport in west princdebola201: |
you said that they are armed robbers yet they are successfull, try to be successful, pablo was a drug dude he was a success...so stop hating making money aint easy respect these igbo dudes and stop hating azzima: |
azzima:The products of semi illiteracy containers are giving your guys money as owo ground, these products of semi illiteracy have the highest educated people in Nigeria, these products of semi iliteract have the highest middle class and lowest poverty rates, possibly you are typing that with a phone sold to you by an igbo guy maybe wearing aclothe sold to you by an igbo guy. Yet you claim smart..who is even smarter here Are you not ashamed that people that fought war, given £20 came to your region and run thing yet they still keep their region economy intact. Oh i see...the igbo got the best of both worlds Hate on bro... |
azzima:I think it will be nice to focus on tons of Yoruba speaking places that vehemently deny anything to do with Yoruba. Lately, i met an ijebu dude that hates been called Yoruba , he wants to be called ijebu and never believed that oduduwa fable. Oh what about the Egun that said they aint Yoruba i know you will be jolted and lets forget the ilorrin axis of kabba, okun and even offa that said they are not Yoruba also, i know a friend Funke she hates and loathes been called a Yoruba she prefers her okun name. That by the way what about the UTSEN that speak Yoruba in edo state but wont be labelled a Yoruba. I think the earlier you stop been igbophobic the better for you. Oh i forgot that they have given up on Ilorin and kabba region Well leave igbo let igbo sort themselves out...you have a lot of work on your hands |
azzima:Now you said that they develop other peoples region at the same time they don’t contribute anything...dont you see how stupid you and your people sound...contradicting yourself...can we compare any Yoruba hamlets i hate using the term town with igbo cities apart from lagos which is developed by Niger Delta and SE oil Small boy |
princdebola201:maybe your father will be in better position to answer that question |
azzima:well said, but I have not seen these people neither are we talking about them but Jim Ovia who has never said he is not igbo, he even went ahead collected Igbo Banker I have a friend Funke from these Northern Yoruba region , she is kabba girl and she hated or do I say loathed been called a yoruba, the Awori and badagry people hated been called yoruba even I have met some people from Edo state Utsen and Akoko edo hate been called Yoruba ...but does it mean that those areas are not yoruba speaking region Dude, dont use somebody that has a bi polar or amnesia to judge the whole people. That should be a lesson you learn from me today A lizard and an aligator can claim oneness but that doesnt mean that they are same |
Delafruita:ok |
they are bunch of confused soul...they even allowed yoruba to write their history for them CHESSBOARD: |
Which tribe in rivers sate, abi you have turned rivers into a tribe...lol ..they no fit call the name of their viallage..are you from the same place the judas of ubima came from or otuoke the place of clueless one or you are my neighbour..the irritants so much... madenigga: |
