all these insults by u igbos wont penetrate any pore of my skin. U all claim the SE is a paradise and i asked why is it that your brothers dont like staying there? I mean who wont want to stay in a paradise? The SE has the highest emigration and the lowest immigration of all the zones in nigeria. This am afraid does not support your assertion that your zone is developed. Sorry

this is not based on what you support ,its based on reality. no south east state has high poverty rate like other regions, literacy level is higher in south east and income distribution gap is lowest in south east with the highest percentage of middle class families , these are yardsticks for measuring development, the same cannot be said for the middle belt. no matter how you put it whether by state of origin or by residence south east is still ahead of others. in as much as people move to more developed places like from africa to america , people also moved to less developed places to make use of the opportunities the locals are too blind or too lazy to utilize like the case of asian and american companies buying up all the lands in africa, oil companies etc and sending the money back to their countries to add to the one they already have and thats called eating double portion.

hmm dis na serious oluwole so 5000 people lost their jobs , i wonder what they are going to do with their life now.

ak47mann:

as i said b4 anambra state are densely population you bloody f.o.o.ls with big potentials which will benefit the northern poverty states and SW states so shut it mate!!!


Anambra State had tried to get the federal government to recognise it as one of the oil-producing states but failed. But President Olusegun Obasanjo supports the state’s initiative in the oil and gas sector. Obasanjo in his keynote address read by Patrick Onwundu at the oil and gas forum in Lagos said Anambra State was one of the hydrocarbon bearing basins in Nigeria. “Exploration efforts in Anambra at the preliminary stage revealed oil potential of about one billion barrels of crude oil. Actually, it is considered to be largely a gas province with estimated reserves of more than 30 trillion cubic feet gas,” the president said.

187/30 trillion cubic feet


[s]as i said soon we will chase you igbo haters away from my land cos i know soon more almajiris will start trooping in /s]\

thats not neccessary , we are not known to be hostile to our visitors ,an average igbo man in the east is too busy hursling to even know who is hausa igbo or yoruba,we dont even talk about it, let them keep whining as if that will bring their people out of poverty.

Negro_Ntns:

Lmao!

Seems everytime Igbo mock some event that happened in West, the same thing + more happen at home.

If this wasn't Fulani, probably Ijo

chai God forbid they are ijaw or fulani

alj_harem:

So with massive migration from the SE and yet you all boast of massive development in the SE. I am confused here maybe you need to educate me.

alj harem SE ,SS are the most densly populated regions in africa, you keep arguing like a lost cat. even delta state you mentioned the capital is located in asaba igbo land so again you shoot yourself at the foot. when you mention sokoto the only thing that comes to ones mind is poverty and almajiroism. you must be delusional to compare economic activities in anambra and abia with sokoto. i will not debate ph issues with you cause i believe your no longer a child but a full grown adult. the bigest industrial estate in nigeria is amadi industrial estate in ph and obio/akpor LGA in rivers is the richer than most states in nigeria ,keep deceiving yourself.

willyspace:

Asaba is not even worthy of being a Local Government Headquarters!

lol thats harsh

alj_harem:

Now he is not yoruba but a middle belter. Please stop assuming that anyone that does not agree with igbos is yoruba because WE all are not

secondly, Yorubas moving to the east and north. But I am yet to meet a yoruba man complain about how his is developing the North or the east. They do not boast on there economic impact in this various regions

The hausa/fulani invested in lagos heavy. One name that comes to mind is Dangote. His invest alone generates a certain percentage of revenue for lagos state. I don't see the yorubas telling them to go.

Just because igbos are in a place does not mean it is automatic your have impacted the community or have invest "heavily" in the place.

So when last have you seen an hausa/fulani man talk about his investment in the SE or lagos. Why do you all talk about your investment since you know there are other groups in your region and they have not shouted to the roof tops on how they invested in a certain region.

No part of Nigeria is power by Igbos except SE region. Please if u all feel like the economy depends on you all, then by all means DEVELOP THE EAST.

All this chest beating on how u developed other regions is just getting excess not only by Nairalaners but by Ohaneze.

t

the SE is doing fine , mention 5 commercial cities in nigeria and at least 3 igbo cities onithsha,aba and ph must pop up  
mention 5 best city to reside in nigeria and enugu ,owerri and ph must come up the rest are abuja ,lag and calabar which funny enough where all federal capitals developed with federal money.

you people still dont get it but i dont expect you to .

if he is a middle belter then he is really a dummy cus that region cant even boast of one livable city, jos is gone, abuja is in the hands of northerners , i dare them to tell hausa fulanis to leave abuja they no born them well, people still go unclothed up till today in adamawa.

emmke:

why do u igbos like sayin this when every day u keep fleeing the SE to other regions, even if u are constantly killed? I mean most of u guys cant even stay in your supposed paradise and no one is actually keen on visitin the SE. Pls stop being arrogant and admit your region is the worst livable region in nigeria. Even the north that is crisis ridden has more visitors (most of them from the east) than the SE. That speaks volume about your region. We should see less emigration from the SE and then this your claim will hold water. Until then, give everyone a break and show some respect to the people that are accomodating your brothers and sisters.

the question should be why are yorubas flocking into igbo cities like onitsha, aba and ph ? is lagos and southwest no longer enough for you?

what are yorubas still looking for in the north even as they are being killed steady? thought you have free education and lagos so why move to the north? why is there hausa fulani families in every street in igboland, igbo land is the busiest region judged by amount of transporters and airports and activities going on there located there , any other busy part of nigeria apart from the igboland is also powered by igbos so go hang yourself olodo .

~Bluetooth:

How can i be ibo ? I reject,please !
I have seen many ibos answering yoruba names but yet to see a yoruba answwering ojuku or nnamdi ? Yorubas take their culture to anywhere they go;that they cant compromise.

keep deceiving yourself and believe what ever you like i guess all those yorubas that answer hausa and arabic names to are no longer yorubas or maybe bluetooth is a yoruba name.
i have yoruba extension family and some of them bear igbo first names.

redsun:

You are so fickle minded.They are like that because of the influence of the culture they are born and brought up in.It is just like a nigerian child born to nigerian parents in britain and brought up in britain,he/she will of course grow up as british

do you mind that fool , most second generation hausas and yorubas in the east have never been to their region, they speak only igbo and look like igbos , you will never know unless they tell you

EzeUche:

You speak the truth. That is why I do not insult the group anymore, because I know my Yoruba friends do not talk like this. And we often have interesting discussions about Nigeria. They see Igbos as natural allies and have lived with them all their lives, so why the hostility on Nairaland? I was raised in the East, but I did not hear much about the Yorubas.

i my self growing up in the east never heard anything about the yorubas, even while in university in the east where we had so many of them,its not until i came to nairaland i started seeing this rubbish igbo this igbo that. the worst part is this accomodating rubish they always talk about on nairaland as if they to dont live in the east and north and are even taking over london.

~Bluetooth:

Are you serious ? What i know is that by the time all ibos are flushed out,we will squeeze you in order to gain access to odua republic. y'all better pray that Nigeria doesn't split :
where is the structure when all your villages are deserted and nothing is happening there ? The only viable airport in Nigeria is Lagos airport,Abuja is trying while others are just glorified runways.

keep deceiving yourself the busiest airports are lagos ,enugu and ph am sure you know who patronizes them. the east is the most urbanized part of nigeria ,show me one city in the SW Worth living .i can show you enugu, owerri, nnewi ,onitsha ,umuahia, ph ,aba ,asaba.
do you want us to draw up poverty statistics in nigeria? am sure we have gone tru dat several times. maybe i should consult becomrich to educate you on what the yoruba cities look like. keep hiding behind lagos.

redsun:

Don't worry,you guys have got cocoa and yam,you will live off that.The power force behind a structure is the money that goes into.If the main bulk of revenues that lagos gets as a result of the 'ibo" dealings are diverted to PH,PH will automatically liven up.It is a s simple as that

Don't wish yourself evil by biting the hands that feeds you

actually i see no difference between ph and lagos now , both are economic power house just that lagos is more populated with more ghetto and swamps lagos has 9million people while ph is about 7 million. amadi industrial estate in ph is the biggest industrial estate in nigeria built by akanu ibiam when.

~Bluetooth:

Which interest ? Even if people have it,you still won't be able to make a good comparison ? The structure is already on the ground for the success of an odua state so we know those that will suffer without oil.

when the time comes we will start making use of ph, calabar and onitsha port, plus we already have 3 international airports in enugu , ph and asaba , crossrivers will be our tourist haven ,anambra is already the center  of science and technology while abia is already producing everything we use in nigeria . all the eastern states are well planed and viable apart from cleaning up aba and onitsha there will be little or no extra work to do cus everything is already on ground.

~Bluetooth:

Me support southern Nigeria and live with kidnappers and militants ? If Nigeria should split,then it must be solely an odua country and don't worry how we will survive so long Lagos remains our capital .

exactly dont worry how we too will survive , now we are saying the same thing , drink your own panadol

~Bluetooth:

Ibos need Lagos because of the sea. . .portharcourt port has proven not to be as commercially viable even the airport.Ibos are already landlocked !

hahaha dont worry lets worry about what we need and what we dont need, when that time comes am sure all major airlines will rather ply the rich oil regions and remember the oil comapanies in the west will move to the east, if you get sense you should be campigning for a southern nigeria rather than odua nation cus the igbo,ibibio,efik and maybe ijaw a population less than 50million will be enjoying what 160million people are enjoying today , i dey laff oo

~Bluetooth:

That is why Lagos is the capital of yorubaland and maybe if Nigeria finally split,y'all will definitely envy that region cuz ibos will be massively flushed out !

you never make sense , why would they be flushed out? do you have sense at all ?
as for civil servants for every igbo army,police,banker,etc in lagos you have one yorubaman in anambra so they will just swap besides remeber your population is higher so we will have more vacancies, as for buisness men,students and traders they are going nowhere just as those in the east are not going anywhere unless they personally choose to leave.

apart from lagos no other state in the SW can boast of development but the igbo can boast of state like anambra,enugu,imo,abia and rivers , dont worry about us.

~Bluetooth:

opc is unleashing terror yet ibos are still in lagos ? Compare that to what boko haram is doing to ibos in bornu !

you mean what bokoharem is doing to yorubas in borno , more yorubas lost their life during the election violence than igbos yet yorubas are still in the north,opc hardly operate in lagos island where majority of the igbos reside.

~Bluetooth:

Why can't they practice their enterprising nature in iboland ? Is onitsha or aba not good for that ?

why should we stick to only igbo land when we can take over the economy f the rest on nigeria if we dont do it the chinese and indians will.

~Bluetooth:

As per the west,maybe you should ask the ibos that have turned lagos to another mecca !

the same way yorubas have flooded portharcourt ,onitsha and aba

~Bluetooth:

Are you kidding ? How about osisikanku that held the ibo region ransome to the extent that the region became a bad new on cnn ?

you must be joking, osisi  was a village champion yorubwa shina rambo did more damage in yorubaland than osiso could have imagined but up till today opc is still terrorizing people in the west.

~Bluetooth:

The SW region remains the most secure in Nigeria.The SE is know for armed robbery and kidnapping,SS is the home of miltancy and oil bunkering,the whole of the North  is home of Boko haram,religion intolerance and terrorism.So why declare state of emergency  in yorubaland when the region is accommodating all UNINVITED visitors without lynching them like the northerners ?

the south east is the only region you can never hear of hostility against visitors or foreigners ,the same cannot be said of yorubaland.

The Arewa People's Congress (APC) is a group in Northern Nigeria established to protect the interests of the Moslem Hausa and Fulani of the area. It has been described as a militant wing of the Arewa Consultative Forum.[1] The group was formally launched on 13 December 1999. It was chaired by a retired army officer, Brigadier General Sagir Muhammed, who had been an operative in the Directorate of Military Intelligence. The APC has a motto "to preserve the indivisibility of the country".[2] The group said it would begin full self-defence training for northern residents in reaction to attacks on Hausas by the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), a Yoruba pressure group in the south.[3]
The emergence of increasingly militant groups such as the APC and OPC is one of the factors fuelling communal violence in Nigeria.[4] The Oodua People's Congress secretary general, Kayode Ogundamisi, has blamed the APC for the ethnic violence.[5] In January 2000 the Inspector General of police, Musiliu Smith, announced a reward of N100,000 for Gani Adams, leader of the militant youth wing of the OPC. The APC promptly raised the ransom to N300,000.[6]
Speaking to the Conference of Southern Governors in January 2001, Chimaroke Nnamani, the governor of Enugu State, said the emergence of these groups was due to the inability of the federal police to provide adequate policing due to shortage of manpower.[7]
In November 2006, Sagir Muhammed described the impeachment of Plateau State Governor Chibi Joshua Dariye as an affron

loool!!, at least we dint bring a region or the economy of Nigeria to a stand still!!, Kidknapping became the order of the day in Abia, together with arm robbery that left the state in a stand still

there was never a time the economy of nigeria stood still cause of kidnapping in south east,kidnapping originated in yorubaland before it moved to the niger delta, uptil today people still get missing when they enter bus(one chance)in yorubaland and never seen again cause they are used for rituals unlike the east and southsouth where kidnapping is for money ransom and the victims are released alive. you should bury your head in shame. state of emergency was declared in akwaibom the moment a yoruba party found its way there.

Rhino.5dm:

Thesame Igbo red-cap, white feather buncha of sell out? Stuupid assembly of vulture looking dolts that sold their rights for a cup of garri.
I never knew any reasonable dailies will waste valuable space in publishing rants of loons.
What are they good at? Collecting bribes and making useless comment.
When the savage Osisi kankwu was terrorizing Abia the ediots didn't  call for satate of emergency. They didn't call for state of emergency in the Niger Delta when the militants were displaying free madness, yet they are now out of their slumbber expecting another 5 minutes of fame from FG.  you take them serious at your own peril.

na your papa be vulture and sell out, when opc where terrorizing people in the SW why didnt they declare state of emergency ? when NURTW where busy killing people burning the whole south, kidnaping and one chance , corpers being violated by yoruba elders and pregnant women fleeing sango ota in fear of of being used as ritual during ora festival why didnt they declare state of emergency in yoruba land?
