Let's discuss why have to travel to west ss ne ce nw to make it

All over the world, people live their country home to a different country were they saw new opportunity that is wasting away. South east is very competitive for business, so they travel to a Lesser competitive areas for their business

Starting to doubt d intellect of d Yoruba stock

why do majority of yoruba's travel and live in London or is london a yoruba state?
stupid question..

they are successful in their land... same way they are successful everywhere you meet them

The Chinese, American, Lebanese, Indians etc all leave their countries and come to Nigeria to do business. They even beat and Abuse their Nigerian workers yet igbos are always the ones Nigerians are always worried about.

IMO, it's because the region generally lacks the robustness of other regions of the country in its offering. Unless your ambition in life is to become a trader, I don't see any other reason why any ambitious youth would risk going out there (or choose to remain there, in the case of their own youth) and gamble with his future.

If you are looking to establish a career or bright future in the mining sector for instance as an igbo youth, then you have to consider moving to Ogun state (the mining capital of Nigeria), if it's tech, or any other white collar opportunity Lagos is your best-bet. For commercial agriculture (crop farming that is) you must move to the North, Oyo is the Poultry-farming capital of Nigeria, PH and Uyo for Oil and Gas. So at the end of the day, the SE/igboland really has little to offer its indigenous folks, let alone an ambitious outsider/non-indigene.

The Americans, Chinese etc had already developed their lands before helping others to develop theirs.. unlike igbos who don't develop theirs but claimed to have developed lagos, Abuja, kano, Kaduna, Indonesia, Malaysia

This kid markfemi will commit suicide oooo, biafra/igbo matter is making him go crazy.

Going by this explanation, Igbo migrants in the North should be largely commercial farmers, and those in Ogun and Oyo should be largely miners and poultry farmers.

Is that the case?

OP, there are many wealthy Igbos who are based in the Southeast; I have lived in the Southeast and I know. That a lot of Igbos migrate to other zones doesn't mean that only those who migrate make it. The main problem the southeast has is that they have a rather small landmass relative to their population size, and this has necessitated a culture of the 'excess' population having to move elsewhere to live and earn a living.

Why do the Yoruba leave Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo and travel to London for greener pastures?? Leaving all those states under-developed with brown roofs? Why travel to London? Why not remain in those states ?? And the funny thing is that, when they get to London, it's illegal activities or petty jobs they engage in. At least, the Igbos who leave their region are law abiding and mostly engage in legal activities such as trading, but the Yorubas who run to London end up washing toilet or doing fraud.
