Aigbofa:Fiction! Fact is when people migrate to do jobs the natives wont do, then they are seeking greener pastures from a disadvantaged position eg Africans or Indians doing menial jobs in Europe & America! But when they migrate to establish businesses or do skilled jobs & employ locals, they are called expatriates! During my NYSC year, I served in the north were I saw people living in abject poverty in very remote places without eletricity, tarred roads & other modern amenities yet I found Igbos owning d best & atimes only deccent groceries, pharmacy shops, eletrical or vehicle spare spare parts shops & you will see d locals patronizing such places with their widows might while d Igbos smile to d banks with their contributions!! |

MrEverest: So, thousands of Nigerian doctors, engineers, nurses and lawyers who are working in Europe and America are there as expatriates because the natives can't do these jobs? Your thoughts are more wacky than I thought. 1 Like |

Aigbofa: You are wrong! What about the igbos in Ivory coast, Ghana, South Africa? Does it mean that Nigeria is not progressive, or maybe USA and UK are not progressive since we know them as one of the greatest countries if not the greatest. One thing you must know about the igbos is that we are migrants, we travel to look for opportunities else where, one geographical space is never enough for the igbos, we all are the same in terms of business acumen and hardwork so we tend to seek opportunities outside where you can find less igbos, meaning there is less competition. Don't tell me igbos troop to Lagos alone FYI, there are over 6-8million igbos in diaspora and we contribute largely to the international remittance Nigeria receive. Don't think there are better opportunities in other places than Igboland, If i may ask, where is the biggest market in Africa ? Is it not in ABA, I've not even added Onitsha, nnewi and the rest. Igbos love competition, but they don't like competing amongst themselves so they travel to other areas where there are lesser Igbo competitors. That is what you call business intelligence. 1 Like |

Aigbofa: Wrong, it is because they pay better and their services are needed. There was a time USA needed medicals doctors, ranging from. Surgeons, nurses, dentist and the rest. Much of those who filled the gap were Indians and Africans most especially Nigerians. This is a formal sector, so in this case it is plainly called opportunity and yes they are referred to as expatriates but when it comes to the informal sector there are different conditions that warrant such decisions, it is not only opportunity, opportunities abounds everywhere. |

scoleman: Do a little study on the pattern of migration worldwide, what you will find is that the traffic is always to where the opportunities are. Ibos migrating everywhere can only indicate one thing, there are fewer opportunities where they are coming from. Incidentally, citizens of the most advanced countries often travel for leisure and then return to their home countries unlike citizens of the least developed countries who often travel either to seek employment or stay for good. It is what it is, you can't twist it no matter how much you try. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Aigbofa:Have you seen the growing numbers of Igbos places like Chad, Mali, Niger, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Benin even as far Congo etc does it mean those places are developed? Ofcourse not rather the Igbos know they are smart enough to dominate those 'virgin areas' & even displace the locals through better services & added value for money, the flip side is that this always brings envy & hatred against them by their competitors! These are easily verifiable facts anywhere you are in Nigeria or elsewhere especially in West & Central Africa. 2 Likes |

Aigbofa: Hmm, going by your definition, what about the million/thousands of yorubas who are in the UK and US? Does it mean there are lesser opportunities in Lagos/SW Mr man stop shooting yourself in the foot, you can argue all you want, I've just told you the truth, if you don't agree with me it is fine.

AmuDimpka: Relative to the population of both countries, can you compare the number of Nigerians migrating to the number of Chinese migrating? And when they migrate where are they heading to? I can assure you there are more chinese going to Europe and America than those coming Africa in general. |

i repeat NONE! Can you relocate to the north and build houses, develop markets, and even develop the federal capital territory from scratch? can your ethnic group lead in the informal sector? Lol, these are gifts, you cant just achieve all of these things like that. the igbos are superior in these areas, That is the truth, you can as well call it "my truth", i'm not forcing you to accept it but when a thousand agree with what i've said compared to just a hundred against it, then you should know which is the truth.[/quote]imagine an ibo man proud of developing anoda's land cant replicate same to is land,dt means somtin is wrong smwher,rememba dt ibos ar not force to leave dere land,dey leave because of wat dey ar looking for (greener pasture) in a land full of milk nd honey,ibos ar a set of pple alwaz believin dt dey ar superior to all oda ecthnic group in nig.nd belivin dt oda ecthnic group in nig.hate dem dt means dey nid to check demself,dere is somtin dey ar doing wrong. 1 Like |
