The small Nigerian town of Nnewi has more naira billionaires per capita than anywhere else in the country. Shortly before Nigeria’s independence in 1960, Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, reportedly Nigeria’s first black billionaire, and founding president of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. The royal honor came after he helped the British during World War II with his fleet of trucks. He was so wealthy that during the Queen’s visit in 1956, she was chauffeured around in his Rolls-Royce – apparently the only one in the country at the time – on the request of the colonial administration.
Profiled in September 1965 by TIME magazine, Ojukwu made his money by importing dried fish for resale, and diversifying into textiles, cement and transport. When he died a year later, his wealth was an estimated $4 billion in today’s economic value.
His son, Chukwuemeka, who also ended up a billionaire, returned from Oxford University at 22 with a master’s degree in history and led his fellow Igbos into the Nigerian civil war as head of the secessionist state of Biafra in 1967.
Their hometown Nnewi, in the southeastern state of Anambra, either by good fortune or hard work, has bred more naira billionaires than any other town in Nigeria, and possibly Africa. The Igbos, who sometimes refer to themselves as the ‘Jews of Africa’, have entrepreneurship in their blood. They have built themselves from the ground up, with little help from the government, after a controversial policy left them all with 20 pounds each, regardless of their bank balance, at the end of the Nigerian civil war in 1970.
Nicknamed the Japan of Africa, Nnewi is famous as a hub for automobile spare part dealers, and most recently, Innoson, Nigeria’s first indigenous car assembly plant. The town is also known for its factories that manufacture household goods and is home to the biggest road transport companies in the country. Nnewi, with a little over two million residents, is a 30-minute drive from the Onitsha – the biggest outdoor market in West Africa – on the banks of the Niger River.
These are 10 of the most prominent naira billionaires from Nnewi, in no particular order:
Cletus Ibeto: The Ibeto Group has been described as the largest industrial enterprise in southeast Nigeria. Starting out as an apprentice to an already established auto spare parts dealer, Ibeto eventually branched out on his own and effectively ended importation of lead acid car batteries in Nigeria in the late 80s. The result is a conglomerate dealing in hospitality, motor products, real estate, petrochemicals, agriculture and cement.
Cosmas Maduka: One of the country’s foremost car dealerships, Coscharis Group, is the brainchild of a man who lost his father at four and had to drop out of school to sell bean cakes, a popular food staple. His company, one of the largest car dealerships in Nigeria that deals with BMW, Jaguar, Range Rover and Rolls-Royce, has diversified into agriculture.
Innocent Chukwuma: Another school dropout, he is the founder of Innoson Nigeria Limited which produces sport utility vehicles, commercial buses and passenger cars at the first indigenous assembly plant in Nigeria. The company has factories in Nnewi and Enugu and has the governments of Anambra and Enugu states, as well as a few federal agencies, among its customers.
Gabriel Chukwuma: The elder brother of Innoson, Gabriel is invested in sports, real estate and hospitality. As chairman of Gabros International Football Club, he oversaw its rise into the Nigerian Premier League and partnership with English side, West Ham FC before selling to fellow Nnewi entrepreneur, Ifeanyi Ubah. He began business as a patent medicine dealer.
Alexander Chika Okafor: Chicason Industries, and one of its products – A-Z Petroleum, are household names in Nigeria. The conglomerate has made significant inroads in the mining, manufacturing, and real estate in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Okafor, its founder and chairman, was named in 2011 by the Senate as one of the beneficiaries of the subsidy fraud under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, pocketing as much as N18 billion ($54 million).
Augustine Ilodibe: An orphan and mass server in the Catholic church, young Ilodibe was gifted £35 by one of the priests and he initially invested in motor spare parts trading. By the sixties, he pioneered the interstate luxury bus transport service; for years, he was the sole importer of these buses. After helping organize vehicles for the Biafran side during the civil war, he established the hugely popular Ekene Dili Chukwu Transport, his main cash cow and later diversified into brewery and agriculture.
Ifeanyi Ubah: The flamboyant businessman funded parts of the Goodluck Jonathan campaign ahead of the 2015 presidential polls and unsuccessfully ran for the governorship of his home state, Anambra, in 2014. His wealth comes from investments in oil and gas, as well as exportation of motor spare parts and, recently, from sales of football players. In June 2015, Ubah – described by one Nigerian newspaper as ‘the new sugar daddy of Nigerian football’ – completed the purchase of Gabros FC for N500 million and renamed it Ifeanyi Ubah FC.
Louis Onwugbenu: The head honcho of Louis Carter Industries dropped out of school in 1967 when the Nigerian civil war broke out. He got his nickname from weekly trips to Lagos to sell motor spare parts under the popular Carter Bridge in the city. His reinvested profits allowed him to diversify into manufacturing car batteries and pipe fittings, agriculture, food processing, real estate and, by the age of 30, he was already a naira multimillionaire. The headquarters of his conglomerate sits in the Carter Industrial Estate, spanning many acres in Nnewi.
Obiajulu Uzodike: Nigeria is one of the foremost cable producers in the world due to many indigenous manufacturers across the southeast. One of the top cable companies is Cutix Nigeria, whose founder, Obiajulu Uzodike, cut his teeth in the business as a staff at a US-based aircraft and military wires and accessories company. By 1982, the Harvard Business School alumna and civil war veteran set up Cutix with N400,000 ($1,200), nurturing it to eventually become the first indigenous firm in the southeast to be listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
MasterChen: Modified : I've erased that post. Not because of you, but because of the mods.
Now let's talk about this crap you posted!!! No where in the report was it stated that he did not smuggle drugs
The only thing was that he was'nt allowed the benefit of the legal privileges that he was entitled to. Chances are, he still would have been executed. Dummy! Yeah..because you don't read
Y'all from that part of the country keep trying to make silly excuses for criminals. He smuggled drugs, he was executed, DEAL WITH IT!!
Victim/race cards don't work in that part of the world. The Justice system works.
Tell your people to stop smuggling drugs If you don't want a repeat of this
Y'all hate Muslims but won't stop smuggling drugs into Indonesia. The country with the largest population of Muslims
Shior!
Like the excuses afonjanas are making for MKO Abiola
iamexcelblog: Honestly though it pains me to write this, my hands are off the struggle because it has become obvious to me that the Leadership of the struggle is nothing but Power Hungry Fraudsters who just wants to grab power and cause mayhem. I still stand on my dream of always defending the Igbo nation and interest when the need be.
I really do love Igbo people and I love my state Anambra a lot. We have been deprived of a whole lot since independence and I really do wish the marginalisation would stop. But violence is not the way. Even if we must pull out of the union, it must be devoid of insults and hatred because we may need each other eventually even as separate countries.
But Owing to my conversation with some IPOB members and getting very close to them, its obvious these people are charlatans who don't have anything upstairs to offer. I mean, all they want is just revenge and violence. You can't be preaching to people about the wickedness of the Nigerian government and yet don't allow people to vote.
I thought Nnamdi Kanu and his group would have been going about peacefully to preach to people on why they shouldn't vote. But what I hear from some of them is that "They will kill anybody that comes out to vote that day". Is that not an authoritarian style of rule? Where one becomes a mafia to step on people's toes? How free is that freedom? Why tell people not to exercise their freedom?
Honestly, Anambra has come too far to hand over power to Charlatans and touts. I can no longer watch and see my region destabilised. We should engage the Nigerian state more for more meaningful developments. Obiano may not be the best but he really tried. I think he deserves a second chance. People should be allowed to decide whether they want to vote him or not.
For those shouting no election in Anambra State - especially those among you who are from our state, have you even sat for a moment and thought about the implications of boycotting election in Anambra State?
Well, based on the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - which Anambra state is still part of, discouraging or hindering people from exercising their franchise in an election is classified as treason and in some cases terrorism.
we all know that many people will want to go and vote so as to chose who will govern them- but based on the high number of ipob touts deployed to anambra state by nnamdi kanu, many people out of fear of being victimized will chose to stay indoors - just like it happened during the previous stay at home order by ipob. forcing people to stay indoors is classified as terrorism - that's a crime against the state.
WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL DO WHEN THE ELECTION IS BOYCOTTED
If ipob led by nnamdi kanu succeeds in forcing people not to exercise their franchise during the elections by staying at home, the federal government will declare at state of emergency in Anambra State - the constitution will be suspended for as long as it takes to restore order - which may last for more than two or three years.
A military administrator from the north will be appointed to govern Anambra State for the period the state of emergency will be in place. curfew will be declared from dusk till down - and anything that moves in between those periods will be shot at - and shot to kill.
Nigerian soldiers will be deployed in the entire south east but especially in Anambra State. This military occupation will last for an upward of two to three years. Anambra state will be fully governed by the military.
THE IMPACT OF STATE OF EMERGENCY ON NDI ANAMBRA
If state of emergency is declared in Anambra State even for one week, the impact will be so devastating that we may not recover from it for the next five years! how much more if it lasts for a year! don't forget that terrorism and hunting down terrorist doesn't just end in a week or months!
the federal might will be in Anambra for nothing less than one year and during these period, all the economic advancement made by ndi Anambra and its various active governors starting from Ngige down to peter obi and being consolidated by Obiano will all be destroyed!
the vibrant economy being jealously guided by ndi Anambra will be striped to shreds by the invading army! Anambra State will be looted to the ground!
we all know the modus operandi of the Nigerian security apparatus - which is shoot then ask questions later, many ndi Anambra will lost their lives for the simple reason that they were walking too fast while going to buy bread - the casualties will be too much that it may end up touching every household in anambra state!
the army will use Anambra State for Target practice - they can target your house and bomb it - or even your entire village and bomb it and claim that it is the hideout of ipob terrorist - if they can do it in borno which is their state how much worse do u think they will do to an infidel state in an infidel land! they will rape our fine girls, kill our young men and mess our vibrant cities and villages!
And guess what? nothing will happen! you know why? because we are in a state of emergency - the constitution has been suspended. human rights is now totally on hold! anything goes!
WHAT IPOB WILL DO NEXT WHEN STATE OF EMERGENCY IS DECLARED IN ANAMBRA STATE
After the declaration of the state of emergency in Anambra State, all the imported ipob touts will disappear from Anambra State as fast as their legs will carry them! then the army will begin to kill innocent ndi Anambra youths who are never members of ipob and brand them ipob terrorist (once the state of emergency is declared, the securities will stop calling them touts and miscreants but will start calling them terrorists).
the ipob miscreants will relocate to Enugu State and start their protest there - do u know why Enugu state?
because the Abia and Imo miscreants are too smart to expose their state to such anarchy! they will never take their protest to Abia and Iimo State! ask yourself - how many times have they taken their protest to Imo or Abia State? they hold their peaceful meetings in Abia and Imo but hold their riotous protest in anambra and enugu and port harcourt!
you know why? because an average Imo and Abia man are so self centered and naturally jealous of any one ahead of them! if truth be told, Anambra and Enugu state are so far ahead of these two states and are advancing faster than they can catch up hence their desire to destroy it - by the time they are done destroying Anambra and Enugu and are heading towards port-harcourt, things would av been settled and no harm will come upon their states of Abia and Imo!
after destroying Anambra - they will face Enugu and do same to it.
BY THE TIME THE HEAT IS HOT AND KANU IS DECLARED WANTED - HE WOULD AV TAKEN OFF WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AND HEAD BACK TO EUROPE THRU THE BACK EXIT AND LEAVE OTHERS TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE INVADING ARMY!
whenever a man talks and brags that he will defend something with his life - believe me there lies a liar and a coward who will never make any sacrifice with his goat talk less of his life! Pete Edochie.
NDI AMANBRA - WHERE IS OUR SENSE OF PRIDE IN OUR STATE? WHERE IS THE WISDOM WE ARE KNOWN FOR?
My question to any one joining in shouting no election in Anambra state is - is this what you want for our dear state?
Is the fake struggle for Biafra worth destroying our state which we have worked so hard to raise it to this level?
I will advice each and every one of our indegenes joining nnamdi kanu to please go and read up history - biafran civil war destroyed mostly only Anambra and Enugu State - the present day Abia and Imo states were relatively left untouched - hence it is still a mystery to the people of these two states how we survived the destruction so fast and still leap ahead of them!
Do not let history to repeat itself in our state again!
CHARITY THEY SAY BEGINS AT HOME! LET NNAMDI KANU START HIS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE FROM ABIA STATE!
IF NNAMDI KANU WANTS TO CREATE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE LET HIM START FROM ABIA STATE! LET HIM START BY UNSEATING THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF IKPEAZU - AFTER DOING THAT, WE WILL JOIN HIM IN STOPPING DEMOCRACY IN OTHER EASTERN STATES!
Ndi Anambra please open your eyes! use your God given brain which we are known to possess in abundance in Anambra State!
DON'T LET NNAMDI KANU USE OUR STATE FOR HIS IPOB EXPERIMENT!
NDI ANAMBRA IBEM! PLEASE DON'T ALLOW NNAMDI KANU AND HIS IMPORTED IPOB TOUTS TO DESTROY OUR STATE WHICH WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO UPLIFT!
UDO DIRI ANAMBRA!
ANAMBRA ADI GO NMA!
EJIRO NWA DIBIA ENENE NSI!
ANAMBRA SAYS NO TO IPOB
#ELECTIONMUSTHOLDINANAMBRASTATE!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - please can you take this to front page so my Anambra brothers can read it.
Agwo no na akirika - its time for adults to hunt the snake down before children will set the grass thatched hut ablaze in their quest to kill the snake hiding in the thatched roof!
Ndi Igbo said its better to hunt the black goat on time before darkness comes and swallow it!
Okenye anaghi ano nu lo ewu amuo n'ogbo!
oyibo si ri na to be fore-warned is to be for-armed!
Ewu has spoken. Who bought you to write this post.
gare: When you guys stop dragging us to be part of your fraudulent movement, then we would let you be if not you guys will not know peace.
Your greatest mistake was to add us to your map, go and redraw the Map excluding us and show us
You forever remain irrelevant. As long as our course pains u. Be useful to yourself and chat a clear path to your future, because no body that has ever stood against an ideology that was left unbroken.
gare: Wake up, I can never be poor ,you guys are dreaming and been led by a fraud, what do you even know about Kanu? Can you or anyone tell me what he was doing in the UK and even before then, I guess nobody knows, all we hear is that he is an activist, I pity a whole lot of you guys
You are poor already to concern yourself with by people who you saw as dreaming and been led by a fraud. Remove your nose from our shit, because it will continue to smell you unless you stick your nose elsewhere.
gare: who cares, you can shove your Biafra up your ass, go to other states you claim in the south south and same call, idiots, looking for a easy way out after failing in life.
Do you guys think you all will become millionaires over night?
We won't all be millionaires but I'm sure we won't be as poor as you will be
Prinsola: The profile of a man who calls Nigeria a zoo
Nnamdi Kanu attended University of Nigeria (Nsukka) with the help of Federal Government of Nigeria scholarship grant
2) Nnamdi Kanu was born in 1972 implying that he never experienced Biafra- Nigeria civil war (1967-1970) and the resultant horrors
3) The father of Nnamdi Kanu is a village head in Abia State (Nigeria) who receive monthly salary from Federal Government of Nigeria
4) Nnamdi Kanu's wife and children are british citizens who cannot speak Igbo language
5) Nnamdi Kanu is a british citizen. (Note): if there is war in Nigeria today, Britain will send warship to Nigeria and rescue Nnamdi Kanu back to London leaving behind his 'blind, deaf and dumb' supporters to suffer effects of war
6) Nnamdi Kanu said he is of Jewish Religion. (Note): Reading books from two foremost Igbo historians (Professor Ifeatu Afigbo and Professor Kenneth Dike), i was made to understand that there is no place for Jewish Religion in Igbo land. Rather, the Igbos are usually Catholics, Anglicans and Traditionalists
7) Nnamdi Kanu said he is greater compared to Jesus Christ. (Note): With this statement, it is glaring to state here that Nnamdi Kanu is mentally deranged.
Thanks.
What kind of nightmares are you having of him that made you do all this back to sender research of him.
mrvitalis: The only reason ipob is growing are simple
Igbo's hate to lose ...after seeing their candidate lose the 2015 election most became frustrated and never wanted to be under buhari even if it means breaking Nigeria
Igbos love hope without caring about the possibility of what u promised them ..that's y u see most of my people sheepishly over religious ...believing it will lead to a better place
Nnamdi KANU tell them what they want to hear ( Igbo's are been marginalized, they don't want us to rule ,we are hated ,if we are on our own we will progress more ) even tho there is no single fact to prove this ...non at all
Igbo's are too emotional and ipob work on the emotions of Igbo's and that makes them aggressive and insensitive to logical argument ..that's not in line with what KANU says
My people are actually very smart ..and that's the way to get across this ...if u can get KANU to a debate ...a 2 hours debate ...that will expose all his lies and exgerated truth and one sided story then Igbo's will begin to have a rethink of his sayings ...now they see him as perfect and almost worship him ...just show his imperfections and leave the rest
An average igbo man is not emotional, we are very very objective, once we set our mind, it's set.
MonitorinSpirit: shebi landlord fit send quit notice regardless of where him dey. the only way to stop a quit notice is to pay ya rent, that's all. stop making noise.
sukkot: you must think we are all stupid here. why is there no igbo on the map ? you dont need to conquer someone before including them on the map. you must think we are stupid here
If you don't know where you are coming from definitely you will never no where you are going to, we must know our root and who we are.
Am here to give you another EDUCATIVE and INFORMATIVE Masterpiece. If you are Igbo then this write-up will help you know more About your self and where you are coming from, but if you are not Igbo, now you have the opportunity to learn more about the Igbos and why they Exhibit some characters. It is a very powerful masterpiece and it took me sometimes to gather them Together. First of all, I will want you to bring out ur BIBLE because 30% percent of what ever I will say are Recorded in the Holy book. Like I said, it took me sometimes to do this research,. For those of you who think that there Is nothing connected to Igbos and Israel, then I can tell you are 100% wrong. We are 100% Isrealites . It simply for Educating the young ones And letting them know where they are coming from. Read on to know where you fall into.
LET's BEGIN ----------------------------------- According to GENESIS 29 vs 30. : JACOB had 12 Sons >> Namely; Ruben & Simeon, Levi & Judah, Dan & Naphtali, GAD &Asher, Issacher & Zebulun, Joseph & Benjamin... The 7 th Son was GAD . And According to GENESIS 46 vs16. GAD had SEVEN Sons>> Namely ; Ziphon &Haggi, Shunni & Ezbon, ERI & ARODI, ARELI. Sometime in Middle East , feminine struck and Jacob moved with his family and about 70 other relations to Egypt. But before then Joseph (which was 11th son of Jacob) had already been sold to Egypt by his Brothers, where he was Made Governor General under a King Pharaoh. As time Goes on they started suffering Persecutions from the Egyptians but ERI THE 5TH SON OF GAD foresaw the danger, persecution, and Wickedness coming and he Decided to leave in Time with his two younger Brothers, ARODI & ARELI with one of his half Brothers. They travelled through Ethiopia, Sudan and down towards West Africa through River Nile and Landed AT A PLACE KNOWN AS AGULERI TODAY THROUGH OMABALA RIVER In ANAMBRA STATE , around 1305 Bc 1) ERI.
-------------- ERI Established and lived close to the OMABALA river. He was wealthy and wise like his Great grand father (Abiama) Abraham. That is why Anambra state has the highest number of Rich people in Africa. ERI ; gave birth to 5 children ; (1) Agulu (2) Atta (3) Oba (4) Hebrew/Igbo (5) Menri. (1) AGULU ; as the first son stayed back and Established in the place known as AguluERI (Agulu son of ERI) in Anambra state. (2) ATTA; moved to upward North and Established a place known as "IGALA Kingdom " and that is why the Overall KING is known as ""Atta of IGALA "".. in Kogi state (3) OBA ; left and founded a place known as Oba Kingdom in Anambra state. (4) HEBREW ; which have been changed to mean higbo or Igbo He was very powerful spiritual man and that is why people from this area are always very spiritual . He left and founded Igbo-Etiti, Igbo-Adagbe, Igbo- Eze (within Nsuka and parts of Anambra) . (5)MENRI left and founded a place known as ""AgukwuNRi"". NRI Kingdom. 2). ARODI .
------------------ ARODI moved to a place known as "ARO- CHUKWU"... HE very industrious and good at Art and Crafts.(e.g Aba Ngwa people of Aba). ARODI gave birth to ; (1) Nembe (2) Ngwa (3) Abakaliki (4) Ogoni (5) Afikpo (6) Aro-ikot Ekpene (akwa Ibom ), (7) Aro- Echie(river state), ( Arondizuogu. During Slave trade Aro spread All over the world. America, Cuba, Brazil... and "ARO-festival" is always been celebrated in CUBA. 3) .ARELI.
------------------ ARELI was a man with a lot of Wisdom. The native Tongue of his Descendants is today known as "Central Igbo". And people from this Area have the highest number of graduates and professors in Igbo land. ARELI gave birth to ;* (1) Owerri, (2) Umuahia (3) Diobu (River state ) , (4) Okigwe, (5) Orlu (6) Nkwerre (7) Elele (,Mba Ise (9) Mba Ano.... e.t.c ERI half brothers. -
-------------------------- Eri half moved and founded IJAW nationality and Some part of Edo State...and many other parts of Niger delta. EVIDENCES and SIMILARITIES --
---------------------------------------- Now to verify some of the things I have said above. (1) If u get to Aguleri there is a particular House known as OBI GAD (HOUSE OF GAD). Remember GAD was the 7th son of Jacob Gen 29:30 and GAD begets 5 Sons of which the last 3 (ERI, ARODI, AND ARELI AND A HALF BROTHER LEFT EGYPT TO WEST AFRICA. ) ...
The OBI GAD was the resting or relaxing place for ERI and his brothers and they named it OBI GAD in order to honour there father (GAD d 7 th child of Jacob) . This OBI GAD was /is the first house built in IGBO LAND. this is the reason why every IGBO MAN always build a place called OBI/OBU in his house in honour of his father and mainly for relaxation and in the olden Days, there is Always a family shrine or little Oracle, and why they worship ORACLE then was because they left EGYPT before GOD gave TEN COMMADMENT MOSES , WHICH ONE OF IT IS AGAINST WORSHIPING OF IDLE. ( even though Morden day IGBOS now build OBI as outside BAR without the Shrine , while, some Christians don't build OBI anymore because of their Beliefs) .
It can also be Called ERI TEMPLE. The Obi GAD also serve as a Consulting place for some royal fathers from other community that have Direct root to ERI. ANOTHER EVIDENCE . (2) At the Burial place of ERI, there is a TRINITY TREE standing on the grave site. These are three Trees but are strongly United and connected by Single Tap Root. (3) ADA; means first Daughter in Isreal (Gen 4 vs 19- 20) and it means the same thing in Igbo language. (4) Before an Igbo man makes a contribution in a public Gathering, he will shout "Igbo Kwenu " and the people will respond "Yah" and "Yah" is short form of " Yahweh ". Yahweh " ; is the name of Jewish GOD. (5) STAR OF DAVID AND some bronze medals Encrypted with Hebrew Codes were found in many part of the igbo land.
(6) Isreal manufactures 80% the world weapons and 70 % of USA weapons. Just like igbos manufactured 80 % of all the weapons used during Biafran. Which no other African Nation has done. Igbos were only defeated during d war due to Hunger policy. By now, we would have manufacturing War weapons for Africans, and no country will have to go outside Africa to purchase weapons to fight Insurgency, if not for the bad policy of Nigeria.
Igbos are the most highly technologically inclined in the whole of Africa. You will also notice that Igbos always handle the post of science and technology and industry in most Nigeria ministerial post, The first west African billionaire is from Nnewi Chief Sir Louis Ojukwu, the black Indigenous Vehicle Manufacturers E.g INNOSON MOTORS AND COSHARIS MOTORS, Indigenous MOBILE PHONE AND COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS e.g A) SLOK MOBILE (Orji Uzo kalu).. B) ZINOX COMPUTERS(Leo Stan Ekeh) . C) SLOT MOBILE (NNAMDI EZEIGBO) D) Father of Internet and founder of The Fastest Computer in the world(PHILIP EMEAGWALI) ...... ETC, etc, etc. (7) We carry home our dead one just like the isreal (Gen 49 vs 29-50). ( Just like the Isreal we were lead or ruled by Elders and Priest. There was no King in Isreal until appointed SAUL as the king of the Isreal and that was why Isrealiites were lead by prophet moses and so many other prophets. Etc Conclusion
------------------------ Isreali Ambassador (Noah Katz) Confirmed that Igbos are jews. (Check Daily Sun Newspapers 28 March 2004). Therefore, Igbo Are the Engine Block and Japan of Africa , no wonder an Author with international Reputation, "Emefiena Ezennia" said that in "Biafra Africa Died". We are good people, we love our neighbours, we accommodate any body. We can live everywhere and develop any where. It in our blood to develop. We need Igbos to develop Nigeria and Africa, even all over the world, we are Gods people a chosen generation!
Nigeria should stop the marginalization of the Igbos and the Biafra or let them have their freedom.
For the Igbo's we should know who we are dream and think bigger, for you are dream and think bigger, for you are the son of the most high God, the God of Abraham (Abiama) believe in your self and work harder as it is in your blood, every parents should endeavor to teach their children igbo language and culture.
1. As corrupt as the north is, I doubt they can achieve that! 2. They say they live simple life, what will they need electricity for? 3. Down here in the south people have started using Solar to power their homes without the aid of the government.. ... So, keep your wide land span and allow us to move on, you guys are drawing us back!
