YorubarLord:
I wonder what you have to say about oyo and ogun state, even ondo is higher than Enugu . With all these dumb bragging your region is still the poorest in the region. Building mansions in village with fvcked up roads to stroke your weak egos don't generate IGR. No reasonable person would want to go invest in your region seeing how you people go about destroying people's business cos they refuse to follow you IPOB order. I can't wait for Nigeria to be divided so you can carry your businesses back to biafuro. Yoruba land needs to breath.

BusinessDream:
Na, it is not lies. Let's take oil company HQ for instance that left South South because of insecurity and went to Lagos. If they relocate back to South-South, hope you know what that will do to Lago IGR? Now if another Seaport, the size of Lagos port is created in South-South, hope you know what that will do to Lagos IGR?

A lot of people are in Lagos because of the number of companies there and Lagos is the major booster of South West IGR. If any of those big companies move out, IGR will drop. All Nigerian banks have their HQ in Lagos, nowhere else. All Oil Companies have their HQ in Lagos.

My point is a lot of opportunities are concentrated in Lagos and not evenly distributed...

I keep wondering myself .
We missed opportunity of correcting mistake of 1960 in 1967.

LegendHero:
Lol see me see wahala. This should be another round of Aki and Popo comedy.

You can’t give what you don’t have Shinedu. Your states are poor and that’s a fact!! Soon Kano IGR will be more than the whole SE states and as usual you will all come online to still chestbeat and call them leeches.

Only God know why the blue chip abi na red chip companies are not making your states IGR bigger if your Ojuku statistics kept them at 50%.

Accept that your zone is a dead zone. Stay at home on Monday is now on course and soon war ravaged Borno IGR will be bigger than the tiny landlocked IPOB infested region where the sun don’t shine.

Poiu11:
oil companies make more money in lagos than in the niger delta. Shell own petrol station and make money. So shell is located in lagos

DonroxyII:
Stop wasting your time .... Big Igbo men don't like doing business in the east...... it is more of culture not because of lack of opportunities...

They are the ones that knows what is pursuing them from home ..... it doesn't have anything to do with Biafra .....

Average Igbo man don't stay Home no matter the seaport you build .....

OfoIgbo:
And the funny thing is that about half of the Lagos IGR is being provided by SEners, and about 70% of Rivers state IGR is being provided by SEners also.

Proper economic planning and the installation of seaports at Oseakwa in Anambra and Obuaku in Abia, will quadruple the IGR of the SE states.

Adding Igbo areas in the SS stretching from Obigbo, to Opobo and Ubani, to Ogwashiuku to the SE will further help the Igbo economy.

Igbos will automatically be bestowed with the title of states with the largest IGRs

joyandfaith:
I think yoruba nation will favour us more. We are going to make more money by taxing foreigners who are doing businesses or owning properties.
I wish Awo had fought for independence of yoruba nation. I wish he had supported Biafra course.

bash8936:
All south east combined are dragging riches with Ogun state.lol no wonder they all want to die here and are more interested in Yoruba matters more than the bereaved.

Yankiss:
It is very very odd that with a retired general as president Nigeria is the haven of insecurity. OBJ was not this weak. Buhari is clearly compromised and until his exit no respite from these attacks. He came to liberate Fulanis and Jihadists in Nigeria including cows. Dazzol.

Sirjamo:
Benin republic buy some of their electricity from us, a PDP thug like Igboho will not know

proeast:
The earlier Southerners break away, the better for them. The North will never recover again, I mean THEY WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE NORMAL LIFE AGAIN. There is currently hundreds of thousands of bandits currently operating in the North and millions hoping to join them.

There is an organized syndicate that is responsible for the limitless flow of AK47 rifles proliferating across that region, particularly between Libya, Mali, Niger, Chad and Northern Nigeria. Put all these together and add the massive illiteracy and poverty in that godforsaken region, then you will realize that the situation will only continue to deteriorate.

Once the North becomes saturated and awash with the hobbesian state, the competition will become unbearable for them and they will naturally start moving South for better prospects. Even Lagos won't be safe and no one would dare use our highways anymore. No one will dare go outside the cities anymore. Then gradually again, they will start infiltrating our cities. I don't need to be a CIA agent to decipher this, no because any careful observer can easily deduct it. Winter is coming o ye Southerners!

Lastly, don't think that when Buhari leaves aso rock that all these will stop, no it wouldn't because the "cancer" has metastated. The only way we can save ourselves down South is to severe our links with the North. They chose this path and must go it alone.

GeneralKoko:
The topic is self explanatory. If you could change one thing about Nigeria what would you change?

Mine: The mindset of the people. Nigeria is a disaster today because of the backward mindset of its people ( leaders included).

What would you change

enemyofprogress:
Only a bastard will listen to them. Trust the north at your own peril. Awon oloribu somebody!

tochieee:
Another sell out before 2023. Its glaring that the southwest will fall for their cheap bargains at the expense 9f their children's future

Sunnybay7:
Association of thieves and rouges, so they just realised that there is a place called south west, the same south west they shut down it's borders, the same south west the clamp down on it's youth during endsars, the same south west they want to turn into grazing route. This dolts are just unbelievable.

Deadlytruth:
It wasn't after the war that Igbos started moving to other regions in large numbers. Please recall that most prominent Igbo actors of those days like Azikiwe, Ojukwu, Okpara, etc were born and brought up in the North.... meaning that their parents moved to the North to settle before independence. A person like Azikiwe specifically was born in Zungeru in 1904 meaning that his parents moved to settle in the North far before the dawn of 1900 thus before amalgamation.

gidgiddy:
Just two question. How is it that Ironsi abolished the Regions if the 4 Regions he met when he came to office were still existing the day he left office?

2) How is it that Gowon met the 4 Regions as Ironsi, but when Gowon was leaving office, he left 12 states?

Deadlytruth:
You mean Azikiwe the father of one-Nigerianism, the chief saboteur of secession clause motions, and originator of the doctrine that the unity of Nigeria is perpetual and non-negotiable; the Aguiyi Ironsi who promulgated the Unification Decree that imposed unitary system on the country thus creating an omnipotent center in the name of seeking national unity and cohesion; and the Ojukwu who supported Ironsi to promulgate the infamous Anti-secession Decree after getting Isaac Adaka Boro sentenced to death for seeking Nigeria's break up; were all Niger Deltans? What exactly do you Igbos gain from this your perpetual attempt to accuse others of your own very sins which put Nigeria in this sorry state? If your brother, Aguiyi Ironsi, didn't tamper with the Independence Constitution, do you think there would have been the need for PIB today let alone the controversy surrounding the issue of 3% going to the oil bearing communities?

Well, you can look up YouTube through the link below to see your foremost Igbo leader confess to being the architect of one-Nigerianism philosophy that killed Nigeria beyond salvage. Happy viewing:

You must be speaking from a reflection of your personal life? This is how you want your children to end up, it seems your parents forgot to teach about the ills of the Nigerian Civil War? That say a Fool that doesn’t know his history, is bound to repeat it.

That my brother is the worst way to solve national and personal problems. You don't solve your problems by pretending and wishing away your past and the mistakes made therein. True the war was fought several decades back but we need to revisit it every now and then so as to undetstand the mistakes that led to the war. Nigeria is in its present situation because we have refused to learn from the mistakes of the past, it's undeniably that the events that caused the war then are rearing their ugly heads again and unfortunate that so many people are willingly urging them on.
Some say revisiting the war may reopen new wounds but I say that the wounds are still very fresh even more than 40 years and the best way to heal the wounds is to not repeat the mistakes of the past. We can only avoid the mistakes by knowing them and we can only know them by revisiting the war.

flokii:
I see the problem with most Yorubas living outside Nigeria is that they weren't on ground to see the attrocities Igbos committed against Yorubas under Goodluck Jonathan..

Majority of Yorubas in top positions in government agencies lost their jobs under GEJ while the Igbos took everything together with Hausa/Fulani North. The Mulikat falsehood they are peddling around is just to save face now that they have been put to shame.

The Igbos already perfected plans to take over Lagos State government through a stooge called Jimi Agbaje who would later hand over everything in Lagos to the Igbos after they have rigged him in as governor. They would have unleashed soldiers on Yorubas including Obas and Ijoyes in Lagos who dare question them.

You people in foreign lands should comport yourselves and stop falling for online propaganda and junk publications. The North are worst hit in insecurity and I'm sure some of them are now waking up to demand for action, let's stop this "we against them rhetoric", nothing links Yorubas with Igbos and we don't share any boundary whatsoever.

Newton85:
Dude, go to bed. You have no sensible message to give to anyone. Go and rant about Tinubu this, Tinubu that as usual. That's your main mission and goal on earth. Bye!

Freshfish4:
We warned them but they didn't listen cos they were busy shouting NEXT LEVEL!!!! Forgetting that the next level is always tougher than the previous level. Hope the stupid fools that voted him twice are enjoying their next level and may thunder fire anyone of them that complains or leaves this country because you fools put us in this mess.

savcy:
There's not much Osinbajo can do to change the security situation of the country. He's a Vice President. He commands nothing that the President doesn't empower him to. I would cut him some slack.

Afam4eva:
If not for the role Awolowo played during the civil war, he would have been one of my favourite leaders. Anyway, he still left his mark on the Yoruba race.

epondudu:
Ignorant of what? Mr historically, Didn't you read your history properly,the cause of the coup,counter coup,the cause of the pogrom in the North. The East is historically a student who is not ready to learn.
The man that took the East to a historically fruitless destruction historically regretted his actions before death. No one wants to fight the East but read your history properly,the East is on the part of making another grave mistake.

izombie:
which masses is he fighting for? Has osinbajo ever condemned the herdsmen attacks? What does he have to say about the tax hike to 7.5%? Nothing,
I will say this again, osinbajo loves the monies he gets as vp and he is willing to even wash toilets no matter what buhari does to him as long as he gets the monies he's getting as vp. The man will never resign. And he knows only his pockets.

epondudu:
North teaching the East politics since the 1900s.
