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.

Asaba was the first Capital of Nigeria
It was because of Asaba that Onitsha happened
Calabar was the Capital of the Eastern Region
Azikiwe' moved it to Enugu against all British advice and protests from the Eastern Region minorities

Onitsha is an ancient city, and has been a trade center before lord lugard's grandfather was born. Go and read Olaudah Equiano's (Ikwuano) bio written in the 1700s. The city was mentioned in the book..

A place does not have to be a capital to become urban. In every states, they are both rural and urban areas. However a few states has cosmopolitan cities, Aba is not, neither Onitsha or Nnewi. Those are pretty much market places with limited services, those ain't commercial cities.

And why then is your non-capital towns and glorified villages not as developed as Nnewi, Onitsha, Aba and Orlu?
You want to teach them how to build cities without federal and state power, but you have not replicated such in your turf in Saki and papalanto..

Same shameless old songs,Japan was bomb to rubbles but they are not crying like Christmas toys all over the internet. You dolts lack deep thinking.

Japan was bombed, they were independent and built their country without any other ethnic nation breathing down their necks and dictating how much money is to be allocated to them. Is Iboland independent? Why not support their total and constitutional separation from Nigeria if e sure for you.

Countries that have experienced far worse have risen above the ruins, not sulking and remain stagnated on the past. Even before the war, igbos have never really stayed back home much less build a nerve centre. Remember, they were scattered across region taking up indigenous slots. There's never been a conscious effort to build their home.

You mentioned 'country'? Now is Iboland an independent country?

I have cornered you in a box, but I expect you to respond with a flimsy straw-clutching come back.. grin

You know nothing about Onitsha metro doesn't end along express Anu, if you thoroughly know Onitsha you will not be posting this, it clearly shows you are empty Upper Iweka is like Oshodi, it's easier for many Northern states to buy goods from Onitsha same with Southsouth than going to Lagos, Abuja is very close to Onitsha than Lagos Port Harcourt is three hours to Onitsha than Lagos, Onitsha is commercial nerve center
Kano, Kaduna are serving as a ready made market to Niger, Chad, Cameroon, all the way to Bukina faso. The trade volume between the North and their northern neigcours is very large that they also supply produce to North which the North supply to every part of Nigeria. You guys have no respect for the North, is it because they don't make noise in the media like you do?

Are the Jews not scattered all over the world before they found a place in 1947?. Whereas igbos had been in a place of their own for ages yet exhibit individualistic and clannish tendencies than cosmopolitan mindset.

Lazy comeback, as usual. Is Iboland independent off Abuja and the buffoons who have ran this country like their bedroom for over 60years?

Dumb again,after Japan was bombed to nothing,the US moved occupied and totally demilitarized Japan. They governed Japan and installed there puppet to head Japanese government. You cry babies did not witness 1% of what Japan went through. You where immediately reintegrated into the system,given jobs and education,placated and embraced. But you dolts like oliver twist are not satiable. Come to think of it is it Yoruba or the Hausa the you love to hate are the same tribe you seek there support? You are more dumb than I thought.

Odi, Zakibiam were leveled to the ground, Biafra army committed atrocities and destructions on Edo, ijaws and other ethnic minorities yet none of these people are crying like a kid, they rose above defeatist mentality.

What rubbish are you talking about?. If a poor widow comes to your stall to purchase goods with money in her hands, will you turn her back?. Do you only sell to rich people?. Think normal before talking.

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.

But if they build proper cities and live in them, there would be no more need to hate and blame Nigeria for everything, and they need to be able to do that to feel alive.But if they build proper cities and live in them, there would be no more need to hate and blame Nigeria for everything, and they need to be able to do that to feel alive....

Mentioning Aba or Onitsha is a big insult on yourselves.

And yet you do not have an Aba or Onitsha in your Region, all you have are places that have been capital for over 50 years. This is your claim to development

Ogun state was never a capital and it boasts the most industrialised state, Ibadan was never a capital, is one of the top industrialised cities in the country. Stop getting your head fixated on being a Capital state. Aba/Onitsha are village champions, igbos need more than village champions. My two cents.

So where in Ogun State in developed to reflect this prosperity? The capital Abeokuta is a disaster compared to Onitsha, pictures below

Ibadan has been capital of the Western Region, tyen Oyo. Where is this place you people developed that did not have to be capital

Seems splattering pictures is your only consolation. what is shameful in houses that were built at the time your ancestors were living in mud huts and thatched roofs?, it easier to demolish mud and set thatches or palmtree leaves on fire to build blocks when you were finally exposed to civilization. Some people have been living in blocks decades before you. So, there's no shame in old houses.

I love the way Yorubas on this forum sleeps and wake on Igbo matters. Feeding themselves lies and believing these lies.
Keep it up, while reality on ground speaks louder than your usual noise.
