I Will Not Be That Igbo Guy by Nobody: 7:04am On Jun 13, 2023 |
I will not be that igbo guy who wants to start a business and decide to start it in Lagos. Nope. Not even Port Harcourt or Asaba (which are largely our closest cousins) will see a dime of my investment money. As far as I'm concerned, Nigeria has 5 states. If I begin importation business, my headoffice will be in the east even if I use Lagos ports. Albertina is a major importer of electronics and he's based in Enugu. If I want to build a 5 star hotel, a skyscraper, a plant, anything....I will build it in the east. If I must have presence outside east then it will be only skeletal and strictly as needed! Some of the people online insulting igbos from year to year are employed by an Igbo person. The killings of igbos in the North have been carried out by employees, friends and business partners of the murdered. Until igbos start having the mindset that the east must be developed, that the east is ripe for any and every type of investment, we will keep being insulted by Nigerians. Why do you think Dangote has zero investment in the east, has nearly zero igbo friends or partners and has never commented about igbos? Do you think it is a coincidence? He holds us in the same contempt that the poor people from his tribe hold us. Don't be that igbo guy who naively believes that politics of bitterness is only among the poor...that the rich roll together. Nothing could be further from the truth. The same contempt with which the nairaland bigots hold us is the same contempt with which Tinubu hold his igbo 'friends'. Hope Uzodima will still realise this. Don't be that igbo guy. I won't. Where igboland will be in the next 100 years depends on what we do or don't do today. 18 Likes 1 Share |

These igbo men in this photo are very smart and talented but they don't understand how the world works as much as they think. You can not amount to more than the group you are identified with. The richest black man will still find himself facing racism from an average white person. Until these people start bringing more of their wealth home, any violence on igbos in Lagos will still be felt by them one way or the other. 4 Likes

You want to build 5 star hotel and skyscraper in the East? 🤣🤣🤣 Remind me please, who is presently occupying the skyscraper in Anambra State? Weeds? You want to sink millions of dollars that won’t guarantee good ROI, knowing fully well that the market is not there. Oh! You will only be open to business in December Better swallow your pride and come invest in the West. The best thing you can set up in the East is a cattle ranch. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

SangoOlukosoOba:While I admit that mistakes where made by the man who built this skyscraper (he should have built it in Awka or Onitsha and not in his village), I also want you to know that that house will still be there in the next 50 years and in that time, may attract similar investment. Our mistake in Igbo land and blacks in general is we don't think long term. In 1940s Las Vegas was a desert. A wasteland. Then the first skyscraper casino opened by Italians, then the second over many years. Today Las Vegas is the sin capital of the world. If our Igbo fathers did not run to lagos after the civil war, igboland will be developed today. If we the young people of today don't run to lagos today, igboland will be developed tomorrow. Think 100 years, not 10 years. That's where your mistakes start. 9 Likes

Martinsmine: Bro, you see why you guys don't have back up and might not. Outsiders suggestions about the development of Alaigbo is a big threat to some Igbo youths like the ones above doing their normal trolling which they have been doing for years just because we don't support same thing . Those are the people who supported UGM boldly on this forum thinking they are hurting Buhari. They have no solution to the development of their own region yet wouldn't want others to provide one. Una long way to go as a region fit far pass Kuvuki land cos most people don comot their hands from SE matter. Real fact 5 Likes |
