Is it the west that has held back Nigerian development?

The reason Awo pushed for an end to the union with the north should be as clear as daylight by now. He knew what Ojukwu also knew about northern Nigeria - they will kill to protect their 18th century way of living. I can't believe anyone is still claiming that the west in what is wrong with Nigeria.


Later you will say you went to school and graduated with a first class when you can understand even written english

I said the west hate the east even more than the north do.. did I say the west is Nigeria's problem?

What 'hatred'?

They didn't understand why the east would ally with the north - if not to be able to misuse power from the centre.

So you wanted to take along Igbos and ijaws of the old Western region isn't it? angry
Thank God zik refused.. On the alternative he could've ceded the brass & degema provinces in return for asaba & aboh provinces,that way all Igbos would be in eastern Nigeria while all ijaws would be in western Nigeria.

LMAO. Learn what exactly? A duffer is giving lessons, m0r0ns, come and learn.

That poverty is not the major rationale for emigration but the quest for economic expansion which is the hallmark of any community of people endowned with the natural and economic what it takes to penetrate any part of the world and establish.

The rail tracks we are today revamping, was built by Europeans to siphon oil and other raw materials to Europe.

So, Emigration is invariably not born out of poverty but economic derive.

Do you live in Akwa Ibom State? Do you relish the desire to own your own business with little start up capital and promising returns in investment? Do you hope to look into the mirror each morning and know you are talking to the boss? Are you enterprising?/Would you love to be? Do you have an aptitude for thinking out of the box?

[b] Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 10.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 1,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 68,220 individual members, the west 5,776, and the north a mere 2,407 ." ''...

This is a classic demonstration of the saying that you can't make your candle shine brighter by extinguishing another man's own.

We were ahead before the war, and after the war, despite all Anti -Igbo policies the Arewa-Odua placed to hinder us, we are once again at the fore front.

All these were achieved without crude oil. Yet some non -entities would be shouting Igbos want our Oil in 2015.

What will make Biafra great is the human resources we have in abundance.

Your argument would hold water if the Igbo similar to the colonialists you are comparing yourself to were already superior in the areas of military and organization. On the contrary the evidence shows that the Igbos were behind in those areas compared to the other major ethnic groups. But you can continue to delude yourself of superiority. It's your prerogative. It sure definitely looks like delusion when you compare your wanderlust driven by economic factors to that of the colonialists; whose was driven purely by subjugation and greed.
