How much business IQ do you have?, 2by2?. Whatever you're doing right now, Ghanaians had done way better before they were sent packing in 1983. This village meetings you having every December ain't gonna help, build a cosmopolitan city like PH, Kano, Lagos and we take you serious. By first week of January, SE goes back to being a ghost town.

Asaba was the Capital of Nigeria before Calabar

It is you who needs to brush up on your History

Waiting person no go hear from Jealous Yoruba minds on Nairaland, na today I hear say Onitsha isn't a commercial nerve center Chai una go kill person here you are empty

Read from UN habitat about Onitsha the highlighted,

PressMyButton:

This is a dustbin article. Onitsha is no where close to Kano as a commercial center much less being the commercial center of Nigeria. Onitsha is just a small town like Oshodi, the commercial activities in both places are almost alike.

maivd:

The only action to justify the nonsense you wrote up there is if all the okoooros that travel to the east stay back and never return to the west. But if you pathetic criminals return then that means you don't worth shit.

Old men. Baba agbas..Igbo this, Igbo that 247!!!
Shameless bunch of busyBody jackasses

Iceberg3:

If you have any reasoning at all,you won't compare Onitsha with a whole Kano.
Kano and Lagos are the nerve centers of the north and west and everyone knows,even my dog too,they know the patronage these place get from the federal government as against other places.

Pretty much everybody is back home having a blast, there are lots of fun, catching up with friends and families, different kinds of ceremonies all lined up at this festive period. However thrilling it might feel, it's nothing compared to making your home a home and not a guest house. The prevaling economic, social, territorial and regional realities throws a huge challenge to igbos to build a commercial center in the southeast. Almost 90% of the wealth transfered back home this December comes from outside. The fact remains that wealth is not distributed through crumbs sprinkling but by proper deliberate investments. The crumbs you take back home every year ending is unstainable to the development of the region. Several decades after, Igbos should be aggressive in replicating a Lagos, PH, Delta, or Kano in the southeast to boost sustainability. Would igbos ever challenge themselves to build home and attract investors than rushing down to catch the next bus going to other regions at the begining of a new year.

what commercial center do Igbos want to build in the east aside Onitsha and Nnewi.
All Igbos cannot be at home, they must go outside to hustle,even Jesus Christ left his place of birth before he started performing miracles .
I don't think there's any commercial center in the country that is bigger than Onitsha and Nnewi except Lagos due to its functional seaports.

Sifia pains

Nobody fancies those places actually..the igbo people only travel to places just to make and rake the money you are too ignorant to see and rake.

PressMyButton:

This is 2024 already, you guys should stop all this dirty beer parlor gossips. Do SE has any commercial or trade volume close to Kano or PH?, does Kano have a seaport?.. By first week of January, y'all would flee SE back to where you sweat it out, while SE becomes deserted. I haven't seen any nation or tribe succeed this way.

BeautifulMind2:

You be dumbo, common sense is far from you, you forgot that Anambra is bigger than Lagos. Anambra is third largest economy in Nigeria based on non oil economy Kano is below Anambra state, Anambra host 48 standard markets

According to you, any source to verify your claims

BeautifulMind2:

You are swimming in ignorance you forgot that Onitsha including Aba feed many markets in north, Port Harcourt buy their goods from Onitsha and Aba, you are only harming yourself

PressMyButton:

You forget that the hide & skin you use in making those Aba shoes is a supply from the North?, and 98% of agricultural goods you resell in those markets comes from the North. If the trucks coming from Kano alone shut you out, you're in trouble.

BeautifulMind2:

Fact from the authority, not from a local boy that know nothing about his locality

Lagos is the port and market, you do everything through Lagos and for Lagos. Can you buy or consume the containers in that tiny SE?, do you have the population or the purchasing power?, stop joking.

I told you to stop showing me these Youtube shortclips, i know the southeast very well. If they supply the raw materials and they pick up some sandals in their trucks going back, is any bad in that?. Like i said, Onitsha or Aba is like a small town as the average Oshodi or Ikeja where market activities take place. Igbo need something bigger and better, a state-like, not these glorified mushrooms but mass migration cannot make it happen.

BeautifulMind2:

Otondo you forgot that Onne Port exist, guy you know nothing, we don't have purchasing power while we are control commerce

PressMyButton:

Onne port?..please. I fear for you when Lekki seaport fully commences and God help you Badagry seaport is delivered. I don't know how many igbos would remain back at home by then.

PressMyButton:

How can i invest my funds where the people of the region themselves would not put in their money. when i watch them jump on a bus in their numbers, trooping out of their home states, i am never encouraged to consider the region as a place of interest.

OmoFiditi:


Are you richer than Innoson, Neros pharmaceuticals, Campharm, dekorcote etc..who are all based in the East?

Quintessence44:


So why have 30 million Igbos fled their region to live in Hausa - Fulani and Yoruba land?

Iceberg3:

You lack reasoning seriously.
Even the Calabar,how many years were they capital of Nigeria?
If Asaba was once capital of Nigeria,how many years was she the capital and what year,period was that compared to the era of Lagos state?

And again now,are you now saying Asaba (in delta state,Niger Delta) is Igbo? I'm saying this cos you people always call the Igbos "attachee by force as far as the Niger Delta Igbos are concerned

gidgiddy:




People like this make laugh, they know nothing about the South East.

The South East are the only people who built urban areas without the area having to be capital of anywhere

PH has been capital of oil rich Rivers State for over 50 years

Lagos was capital of Nigeria for almost 80 years

Kaduna was capital of Northern Nigeria and has been of Kaduna for over 50 years


However, Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba were never capital of anywhere

So unless you can show us where in your Region you managed to develop with your sweat, without it becoming capital, and receiving massive government help, dont talk about development with South East

coputa:
landlocked kano state is never a commercial hub centre compared with Lagos with it's functional seaports;no thanks to western politicking.

Kano state gets all their goods from Lagos ditto Anambra state (Onitsha) the big difference is that the Ibos are the major importers even the major warehouses in Kano state are owned by the Ibo's.

I repeat, all Igbos cannot afford to come back home, they can build up their home from their base and that's what is happening in Onitsha and Nnewi which is unarguably servicing the whole south south region
