Perfectbeing:
Some of your mates would take advantage of this news and prepare a platform for their elevation. Yet here you are, groveling in the mud pit.

Cognitivereason:
That eventually the best u can do..since ur blank and have nothing sensible to spill...

Just note that ...weather business insider ranks Nigeria or not based on their own surveys...the fact on ground is that every year when FDI is calculated in Africa..Nigeria is always in top 5...
Google is ur friend..
That y I said there is a difference between most attractive countries for FDI and the highest earners of FDI..the end point is who gets more and Nigeria doesn't disappoint more...

Masturbate on this article from the same business insider
https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/here-are-the-top-10-african-countries-with-highest-fdi/7264vlz

Peace

Cognitivereason:
I think your problem is the inability to read and comprehend..
There is a difference between top 10 countries to invest in Africa and top 5 countries that have ACTUALLY received highest FDI weather they are attractive or not..

The top 5 African countries best for investment doesn't necessary mean they received their investment by that order of measurement..

Weather Nigeria falls on the list of most attractive or not can not and will not rule out the fact that it will remain the top earners of FDI in Africa simply because of it huge diaspora and market..

Many of the points that will be highlighted in those links will be relating to the ease of doing business..but investors don't stop there...they look at major areas like market which no one beats Nigeria in Africa..resources.. As well as how they can recoup their capital and profit quickly..

U don't have to be sentimental about the truth...Nigeria has always been a major hub for FDI..but my stand is that it should be number 1...
Peace

Cognitivereason:
Nigeria has always been top 5 since it existence.. That a fact
U can choose to believe what u want

LILTJAY:

UncommonLogic:
I totally agree with your detailed explanation. That's what I was trying to say without going into full details.

UncommonLogic:
Nigeria is full of confused semi educated, dull youths.
Bail is not guaranteed, it's up to the judge. Even in the US, two people can have thr same offense and one might get bail while the other does not.
It's at the judge's discretion.

PrinceOfLagos:
The soldiers should leave that region alone

Sambisa forest is where they're needed the most not south east

Why is Buhari so obsessed with south east ?

Davash222:
Enter forest go search for them if you get mind . Stop harassing innocent civilians for town.

Cowards.

udele1:
They should have brought him another rising sun outfit to wear.

udele1:
These are the people that destroyed Nigeria. They wine and Dine with the one bringing you freedom.

daygee12:
All of u Igbos are not serious if u truly want Biafra pack your loads and move out of every state under Nigeria and go back to your igbo states that u av developed.
I'm tired of all these chest beating as if they tie ur placenta to Lagos and every other parts of Nigery

udele1:
The picture below shows chinwetalu agu before and After he went to DSS.

Im sure after seeing Kanu's condition, nobody told him to wear plain colours.

Did you see anything similar to Biafran colour?

TripleOh7:
I'll address the phrases you highlighted.

1.

20 Nigerian pounds. Good. In the history of wars, [b]have you ever seen one side compensating the enemy after the war? Even if it was 1 pound, that was generous.[/b]

Now, you have just shown your lack of knowledge. It seems like you enjoy revisionist history. Who told you the 20 pounds was for compensation? Before the war, Igbo families had much more than 20 pounds left in their bank accounts. It was merely a paltry payment for the huge sums of money that was left in their bank accounts.. So, I hope you get your facts straight before you start exposing your ignorance.

2.

That was and is a statement of fact. At the time of that war, starvation was a strategic way of forcing a quick submission and end to the war.
Go and check the pictures from the war. Ojukwu and family looked very robust and healthy while his people starved. He could have stopped the war but he wanted his people to starve to death so that he could gain the sympathy of the outside world.

There you go again running away from the issue. You were the one who brought Awolowo into the mix, telling me how he paid 20 pounds and much more to Igbos. Then when I responded with facts you have no response other than to say it is a factual statement. The issue was not whether his statement was factual or not. I guess, you have no clue what the rules of engagement are according to the Geneva Convention. But I am not gonna lecture you on that here.

3.

Read to comprehend. I mentioned more than one reason for the dispersal of Igbo people from the east. Not just erosion. You are comparing the state of New York to Alaigbo. Lol. You are hilarious. Even IF you had the capacity to erect a skyscraper in Igboland, who would be foolish to do so on a land that is gradually being washed away by serious gully erosions?

I do read and comprehend very well...but do you? Because if you do, you would have understood that I did touch on all three seasons that you adduced but I guess they went over your head. It's very obvious that you lack a sense of analogy. My veil refence to NY City does not mean a comparison to Igbo land. It was only to inform you that having a huge land mass never equates to huge population, opportunities and rate of development. After all, you were the one that said that Igbos are emigrating to other areas because of lack of land due to erosion. As for erosion, every state in LIEGERIA has one form of disaster or another. Some have flooding and others have erosion including Ogun State in the West, Edo State and in the Niger Delta regions as well. So, please do not tell me about gully erosion as if to say it's restricted only to the Southeast. Watch the videos at the link below and see for yourself.

Igbos have always been in alliance with the government at the center. ALWAYS. The only time you guys started playing the opposition was in 2015 when Jonathan lost and it has been bitter wailing since then. You'll need to ask yourselves [i]why you haven't done anything for yourselves if you've always been at the center of power [/i]for most of Nigeria's democracy as well as some of its military rule.

It is really sad when one is totally bereft of the truth. Please, do not say out loud the nonsense that you just said about Igbos being in the center of power most of Nigeria's democracy and military rule. It's either you are being mischievous or you're downright ignorant and clueless about what's really going on in and around your environment.

Don't blame the Yorubas or ethnicities for that please.

I am not sure where the above sentiment that you expressed came from. Like I said earlier you probably have issues with reading and comprehension. Where in my piece did I blame Yorubas and other ethnicities? I guess you're confusing my reminding you of Awolowo's statement during the war as blaming Yorubas. That's far from it.

TripleOh7:
That's a big lie.

As a matter of fact, the minister of finance during the war, Chief Obafemi Awolowo kept all the allocations due to the Eastern region to be given back to them after the war besides the 20 pounds sterling that was given to every Igbo at the time.

The[b] reason why Igbos have a lot of population outside their enclave[/b] is because

1. They love making money a lot (who doesn't?) and there seems to be greener pastures in other parts of the country where it must be noted that the major attraction of these places to the Igbo is because they don't have the same Shylock attitude to business that the average Igbo trader has. The dog-eat-dog attitude when it comes to business and money.

2. The Eastern region which is Igbo enclave is so small

3. Their land is badly ravaged with terrible gully erosions which seem to be eating away at the region. Which is quite unfortunate.

jaxxy:
Nice points and yes they are all true if I should be honest so I can’t dispute them bt I can only try and explain why they might have happened or why thing played out like that.

The war was unnecessary bt it happened and Igbo have part responsibility for it happening sadly it didn’t end in their favor. That means it will take some time to integrate them back into the country’s system. This is partly a reason for some of the setbacks. Bt mind u there are many Igbos who were interested in the civil war and didn’t even want to return to the SE. they only left Lagos/other regions cos they were latter hunted.

Another reason is the general attitude of Igbos and their willingness to integrate, their trustworthiness post war and mind u any region that fights a war and loses will not get full development or support from Fg for awhile.

Positioning: the south east is landlocked hence no wet port can be situated there.

Sabotage: Igbos don’t know when to shelve their arrogance and work together even amongst themselves they are not very supportive unless it’s in personal business where u serve under a master and they get settled. In political interests they clash for superiority amongst themselves even when they know they are already at a disadvantage from federal.

Other regions cooperate more than Igbos. Igbos are too individualistic probably due to lack of leadership among them. Even if a leader is good other will sabotage him because of other interests at stake.

So u can’t just blame all the problems of the SE on the government.

BigSarah:
I never for once supported Kanu...
I never for once supported IPOB...

I only supported Agitation for Biafra(and I still do, but not the IPOB model)
I only supported ESN (when they weren't terrorists)
