Support what? They are CRIMINALS! Government to support CRIMINALS? Were they licensed to produce arms and ammunition? Who do they sell those arms and ammunition to if not criminals like themselves. People should please think before commenting

You really don't see the irony.
A third world nation begging for foreign weapons closing down indigenous weapons producers.

shamecurls:
You re a comedian

I am serious as fucck.
Nigerians joke too much with critical matters.

calcal:
no one will buy from you even for free no one will take it. the standard killer weapon is AK47

Even russia the owners of AK-47 are gradually phasing it out from their armed forces.

teeowl:
okay... how reliable are the guns.

They are reliable for the purpose they were built.
If you govt wants local guns capable of long range precised strikes and accuracy, buhari knows what to do.

And then you have Nigerian security agencies importing AK-47 like a mofo.
Creating a FG funded 21st century arms fabrication, modifcation,design ,upgrade, and production plant for these gifted folks in Nnewi is clearly not in their agenda.
And yet they insult america for not selling them weapons.
Third world cesspit.

free2ryhme:
All these close range weapons wey una dey take make mouth sef


This is 21st century weapons of these nature can't compete with the calibre of weapons currently out their in the market

At best they are locally made for hunting bushmeat

It takes serious funding to create high precision weapons.
It is an indictment on your government and your country.

mekadinho:
They should stop fabricating arms n start doing something positive with their gifts... A fabricated aeroplane is nt a bad idea, Hahaha......

The weapons manufacturing industry is a trillion dollar industry.
The amount of money the US makes from exporting weapons in a year is enough to fund Nigeria budget for next five years.
The employment created via the value chain generated is not even quantifiable.
A good local weapons manufacturing industry also makes a strong and formidable nation.

Seculent:
Igbo women only knows how to Pokenose, full of corruption,turn husband to mumu and fight.

Igbo women are technocrats. They are not bottom feeders or corrupt favour seekers.

Let's just assume she's a thief. But her 'thievery' ain't glaring. That of Alison-Madueke is audible to the deaf, visible to the blind, vocal to the dumb and perceivable to the anosmia.

Her thievery isn't glaring? Are you kidding me?
How did she come about her oil wells? Is she an oil expert?
If Nigeria was serious like china or the US, the first thing the govt would do is to acquire these oil wells from unscrupulous private owners who are wrecking the most damage on the economy, before going down the chain to smaller thieves like maduekwe.

hamzakito:
so igbo woman no dey??

Igbo women are not corrupt.

donphilopus:
When they are done with her (Alison-Madueke) in London and the EFCC start theirs, she would wanna own 'common' Toyota Corolla, but wouldn't be opportune. No room for thieves in this dispensation.

Alakija is a greater thief and a greater danger to your country.
Her oil wells corruptly acquired are enough to give every Nigerian a decent life.
But trust Nigerians to be too scared to go after the real enemies.

What the hell is jakpon?
Such a ridiculous name.

I can imagine how many women he has done on that bed.
The average Nigerian lady would have already started undressing right from the gates.
Anything to remain permanently hooked to such wealth.

There are no enemies here. South-east is just learning to play a politics of self interest.
This time the SS are on their own. Unlike the old era of unconditional support, if they want igbo support, then they must offer something big in return, and pray some other region does not offer something bigger.
The era of babysitting the SS at our own expense is hopefully gone.

tzoracle:
When oil is finished,they have a major mineral to fall back on..what do the south have,we should have true federalism

If you actually believe this, then you really don't know why the north is poor.
Infact the north gets the largest allocation from the oil, while the south-east gets the lowest. So the north is benefiting the most from southern oil.
Even if the north begins gold export and southern oil finishes, with the current idealogical backwardness in the north, the south would always remain richer.

Damn. 70 gone at a go.
The united states need to wade into this issue with the seriousness it deserves.
The Nigerian govt if left alone would see everybody wiped out.
We need 100 units of predator and reaper drones roaming the north-eastern skies, taking out enemy formations before they strike.

But Nigeria that has undergone majority northern rule currently earns zero from gold just like other minerals in the south.
All these theories and defence mechanisms will not increase prosperity for the north. The south too has minerals that are lying completly fallow.

Aigbofa:
A landlocked Biafra is going to be just another poor landlocked African Republic.

I seriously doubt that.
A nation as industrious and hardworking as ndi-igbo can never be poor, unlike most african countries that are very docile and laid-back.

Afam4eva:
The owners of the oil are the minorities but the oil is being controlled by the North. The aim of aligning with the minorities will be for the oil to change ownership from the North to the Igbos or at worst for it to be shared between the Igbos and their South south brothers and sisters. Aligning with the north will not give you greater access, the best you can benefit is that they can employ you for the day to day running of their oil interests and employ your people in some oil coys. That will make you graduate to being a second class citizen but you will never be the first. The Northers own that territory.

This is naive politics and not looking out for our interests.
Whoever controls political power controls the oil and the attendants benefits and the north will always do. And one thing about the north is that they are not shy in throwing oil blocs around for their allies if it means a continuous control of the oil. And that is exactly what ndi-igbo should have benefited.
The likes of alakija, adenuga, otedola got oil blocs via being boy-boy to the north.

Most of the Southerners with oil blocs got it through parleying with highly corrupt northern strongmen.
That is exactly what ndi-igbo should have done if we were really looking out for our best interests.

Afam4eva:
Not when the minority has oil. What benefit will the Igbos gain for aligning with the northerners for instance? My guess will be to be second class citizen as opposed to third class.

But the oil is in the control of the north.
We are talking of Nigeria here not biafra or niger-delta republic.
The owners of the oil are powerful northern strongmen.
Aligning with the hausa fulani would have given ndi-igbo greater access to the oil than any association with the SS atleast under a Nigeria state.

ShowYourCertificate:
Falana just admit it, you are simply frustrated that Buhari did not select you as a minister

Exactly.
I am sure he must have given thanksgiving in advance only to have his hopes dashed.

Afam4eva:
Defender of the oppressed indeed. Oga, abeg, leave matter for Mathias. No group in Nigeria is defending anybody. Everyone is looking for their own best interest and that includes the Igbos. Enough of this self righteous attitude. the fact that we have lost in the game of thrones does not mean that we are saints.

If ndi-igbo was really looking for her best interests in Nigeria, then a serious political alliance with hausa fulani would have been the smartest move.
Supporting a minority against a majority is not acting in your best interests.

I remember making this same point some time ago. Nigeria is a dog eat dog world.
Ndi-igbo have been a sort of ''defender of the oppressed'' for too long without benefit. The people we are supposed to be defending are even anti-igbo than anything else.
The igbo is a majority group, join the fellow majority groups and get drunk on niger-delta oil since that is what they understand and appreciate.
It is time to look out for igbo interests alone.

Why does the SE have five states and others six despite being a majority?

beautiful.
Fighting for a future.

menabadoo:
werey, according to oluwole stat.

The population of igbos in lagos outwiehgs that of yorubas , don't let us argue. Anu

This is wrong.
Very wrong.

smh.
And the idiotts allow these thread to be distracted with the lagos BS.
A state that has practically sucked off productive population and productivity from most parts of Nigeria and especially the SW.
A state currently facing the threat of ocean total encroachment.
Bleh. I'd rather the SE continue in its pattern of spread growth though more aggressively.

Btw ,the SE has just five states. The economics of scale is not even in her favour and yet the region still outperform others.
One eyed king in the midst of the completely blind. Mediocrity at different levels.

Ebonyi is under-performing. That state is not leveraging on the huge number of igbo investors and agricultural and economic technocrats she has available in igboland.
An agricultural powerhouse like ebonyi in the 21st century should have an IGR of atleast 300billion. There is serious need for fresh agricultural products in the world today, especially in europe and china.
