The census was undercounted in SE and SW.

Well, there is another one coming up next year (2017).
Hands folded.

Will not be different; for example, Kano will still be allocated the largest population, even over Lagos. Nigeria is already programmed to do things in certain ways. For me, what is going to be a big deal is for ethnicity to be added to the census. So we know exactly how many Igbos live in states outside Igboland. Ethnicity is counted in censuses in US and UK. So why not Nigeria?

These SE companies don't contribute NADA to Lagos.

They don't hire the indigenes, they only pay taxes(that's even if they don't apply ibo factor of wanting to cheat on taxes like every other thing)like everyone else, which they will still have to pay taxes wherever they go on God's own earth.

I'll rather have an American company that will hire Yoruba unemployed youths in Lagos than clanish ibo company.

Those are the real enemies of Igboland. Igbo with deeply entrenched interest/ investments in non Igbo parts of Nigeria, they would sacrifice themselves if it means protecting Nigeria's unity, which they reason as a pre requisite for the security of their investments.

They have no patriotism whatsoever for Igboland, for how can they not see that Igboland and it's teeming youths need such massive investments and employment opportunities? Can't they make just a little initial sacrifice for the benefit of the future?

Surely, Chukwu bu eze, and will disgrace them all in the end, we will laugh at their sob stories, at the appointed time.

Too much ignorance and bigotry and denial and hate are bad for the body.

VANHELLSING:

Foolish fools, what about building this plant in southeast. Don't these bastards have a grain of brain in them? How many yorubas or hausas own/built a bungalow in southeast? ...........Yeye oka mma na ama ndi izuzu

like you too cannot type this from SE instead of Lagos. My guy, this is business decision, they want to make their money nothing more, even Governors no get their private businesses in their states.

aresa:
Why are my ibo folks mad as hell?


I thought Lagos is no man's land and na ibo people own Lagos?

Why you mad for developing what belongs to you?


You say lagos is not in the SW..

We know you people just talk all that rubbish, you don't give a shitt Lagos...

Lolzzz.

Heed your own advice first, so you can live, cos as it is, you are crushing under the weight of tribalism, bigotry, hate, confusion and denial. No one suffers those attributes more than you and your people. Eskimos can't say others like ice and cold more.

Emancipation:
If you want to know the difference between Igbos and Yorubas. Go to port harcourt. Some Yorubas have been there for decades working for oil companies but not one single investment in housing or business or even giving back to the community. But Igbos will go to Lagos and other western and northern states and invest all their life work and sweat there. How can you invest so much of your blood and sweat in a hostile environment. I just can't understand.

The locals are just silently waiting for the day they will claim your business and property. It is just pathetic. As for me, I will invest all my wealth in Igboland. I am not looking back. I will rather expand to Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Gabon than go to Lagos or north. One Nigeria is a big scam and the people who preach it everyday don't even believe in it.

even if it's true that the southwest became hostile to the Igbos, there are reasons for that. that same reason will come up eventually if you expand to Cameron, Ghana , Ivory Coast Senegal, Gabon.

Abagworo:


I think they rather want faster return on investment and not the Abia Government's fault. If INNOSON was in Lagos he would have made better sales than Nnewi but he was wise enough to site his firm in Nnewi despite all the challenges and resultant poor sales. A wise man looks beyond immediate gains towards strategic importance. .

So what's strategic about his location, other car assembly plants located in the southwest are selling more. If INNOSON had been in lagos, it would have been a national brand, not a regional brand. except the Igbos want to spoil business for techno oil, they had not at anytime time portrayed themselves as a regional company, they are doing well cus of that.
