Another ignorant post..

And in the UK 99.99999% of the Nigerian restaurants are owned by Yoruba.. Does that mean Yoruba produce and cook better than everyone Heck, some even sell banga and edi ka ikang soup...

Too early for chest-beating, mate.

Engr. Chris:
One thing dat make me happy, and proud to be an IGBO MAN, I'm was posted to Ekiti Lga(Araromi) in Kwara State for Nysc(batch c)2011 before I relocate down to rivers, the lga Chairman there in his speech when welcoming us in Ekiti lga he said any village, town, or city that does not have an IGBO Man, people should run from that place because that place can't develop because igbo's are known as DEVELOPER'S, he went ahead to said that an IGBO Man that save there 25yrs ago came back and build one of biggest Hospital in Kwara State in a town call Osi in Ekiti lga, why the name of the hospital is New Era hospital, there the hospital give corper's free medical care no matter your Tribe. If you send an Igbo Man home who will develop your home. That is why I will continue be proud of my Tribe.

lagcity:
this is the dumbest question i have ever come across.

Nightshift: I was hoping to get comments like yours. The truth be told - are we Igbos not most likely to be businessmen,traders and civil servants than being farmers? I still stand by my words - that Northern Nigeria has a comparative advantage over Igboland in agriculture. We must buckle up or sink in ethnic bigotry!

ikeyman00: ^^^ till the yaribas let us have airport and that

them una offemmanu will know whats up

thank u all for d food production debate. D national assembly and d panel of judges are coming up with d most outstanding performance award. And for d kwashiokor man, tnks for d side attraction. Thank u all.

k I guess its the Yaribas who determine your fate? Aint you tired of being slaves to everyone, Why should Yorubas "let you" Why dont you let yourself

You dey talk airport, Shey no be Yiaport be this one below?

chima12: is farming not business?the only comparative advantage I see that the north has is that the federal govt has always favoured northern farmers with loans while discriminating against not just farmers against the east but the entire south as a whole.there are various dams used for dry season/irrigation farming in the north but you hardly find such facilities in the south.farmers in the south are really trying;govt policies do not favour them.

Nightshift: I don't know how old you are Chima, but as a teenager in the 80s I saw on TV how state governments in the East complained bitterly how some of o[b]ur "farmers" who took government loans under the then Anambra/Imo River Basin Development Authority used the money they should have invested in their farms to marry more wives.[/b] Some others used that credit to aquire new traditional titles or even to contest Igweship/Ezeship of their various communities. It was not funny to Mr. Jim Nwobodo and Mr. Sam Mbakwe!

Biggyd2: A thread that was seeminly meant for people to make constructive contibution has already been laced with vile tribalism. Focus people, these traders are not intrested in your 'breakup' etc. To confirm that, even with BH many non indegines have refused to leave their places of abode where BH activities are most rampant.

Germannig: When Nigeria separates, the different groups in the south will have to start farming. For now they left it for the malus (northerners) to do while the southerners educate themselves. Farming requires little or no brain to do. The North cannot even feed itself let alone feed others. Why are they so poor and malnourished?

Ileke-IdI:


Ebonyi that is not developing must be occupied by 100% Hausa ppl.

We can see that Abia is equally developing.

Clowns.

achi4u: ajakaja nwanyi wonder hw u'll look in real life___with ur that tribal bleaching face.

help urself o!

T9ksy:

So why the kwashokor during the civil war?

Nightshift: Even if we have more financial facilities from Igbo state governments, we don't have enough arable land to equal their production capacity. Besides, how many Ndigbo are willing to work in the farm this days? Are we going to import Somalis to work in our farms? Ever heard about comparative advantage?

THIS ONE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SOUTHEAST IS LOCATED.
HOW MANY YEARS AGO, DID WE IGBOS STOP MANY WIVES ACQUIRING.

MAN! YOU ARE AN HAUSA/FULANI MAN TRYING TO POSE AS AN IGBO.
YOUR GAME IS OVER.

NO IGBO MAN CAN TAKE LOAN AND USE IT FOR MARRIAGE.
NO NO NO, THAT IS FOR HAUSA/FULANI'S

shymex: Middle-belt is and will always be the FOOD BASKET of Nigeria!!

Benue feeds most of you from Lagos, Bayelsa, Enugu, to Sokoto..

Pay homage to these people, and stop making noise about the little food you guys produce in your regions..

Apart from cassava which is produced nationwide, Middle-Belters feed Nigeria!!

Ngwakwe:

You said you have not been to Nigeria and have not touch Naira, who do you represent and what is the credibility of you information

bashr8: he read it on nairaland so he is quoting nairaland

davidylan:

You expect people to go to the market and prepare food during a war? My brother wake up, its too early to be exposing such lack of reasoning.

davidylan:

lol igbo garri comes from where? Yoruba land abi?
Its quite funny how many ignorant folks post here... my igbo grandmother had more food products from her backyard farm than many yoruba markets.
