That is cool bro,

I will buzz you by evening and we will do something about these constant bad news coming from the east.

Kudos....... will be waiting.

cstr100:

It seems you like to focus on irrelevancies to perpetuate your tribal basis.
My post was directed to the igbo people, because it is really their fault.
So why are you pained? Did i insult your people or pass the buck to anybody else. What is your problem?
You are asking me why they invest in foreign lands at the expense of their own lands? You don'''t know any igbo man in lagos to ask him?

Ignore that derailed chump. His questions was thrown with the objective of "mock and taunt"...... I registered on this forum to face his likes. Its getting too much. You have to give'em hate for hate, cuz thatz what all of them mutherfuckers deserves. Either you ignore them, or you kick'em hard on the butt.

cheruv:

Thanks...
This is the first ohaneze leader whose perspective is in consonance with the masses of Igboland

Very very true... The last one there was a disaster.. I just hope Nwodo sticks to his guns. Enough should be enough..

Foolish ipods, mumunism

Funlordmaniac:





So on point number 1 you agree that they lack unity amongst themselves? So whose fault is that anyway? Or you want to also blame that on afonjeezys, muslims or tiv people?


Then on point number 2! Who forces your igbo cousins to spend billions in lagos? Why are they averse to spending the same billions in anambara, enugu, Imo or ebonyi? Or is there a federal law that deprives them of investing in their own region the same way they do in others? Why can't you people ever pick one lane and stick to it!

An average igbo man is a business minded person who sees profitable venture and ventures into it. He doesn't care about the location, he just spends his money there. The Nigerian system has made some places economically viable e.g lagos and made many other places economically redundant and what they should be known for is just agriculture and other menial job opportunities. If the system doesnt give all states equal opportunities to develop, then the business minded people will not as a matter patriotism run at loss because they want to keep their businesses in their villages. So, you do not blame the average igbo man if he spends his money where he can get returns.

Nigeria has not been advantageous for the igbo growth and it is until things are done about it, then we will still be facing these crazy things.

The Igbo's are the only tribe in Nigeria that believe in 'one Nigeria' and that is where their problem lies. If you are dealing with a Hausa man, he first thinks of his religion and ethnicity, a Yoruba man thinks of his ethnicity first but an Igbo man thinks of one Nigeria. If you come to the east you hardly see any structure built by a Hausa man or Yoruba but, travel all over Nigeria the Igbo's are developing them bearing in mind the 'one Nigeria' syndrome.
The Igbo man's quest for wealth has robbed him of his sense of belonging. That is why they develop other cities while theirs lay bare. Lagos today is developed by the igbos. Imagine what would happen if the igbo businesses in Lagos are in the east. Every major market in Lagos is dominated by them; ALABA INTERNATIONAL, TRADEFAIR, COMPUTER VILLAGE, LADIPO AUTO MARKET, BERGER AUTO MARKET, IDUMOTA etc. These are the backbone of Lagos state. They'll tell you that the seaport is in Lagos but, the largest motorcycle spare parts market in Africa is in Nnewi and, it is striving without any seaport in the east.
Have you imagined what would have happened if these markets are dominated by the hausas? Or the Yorubas dominating these markets in another state? Of course they would have transfered them to their areas.
Igbo's need to rethink and realize their mistakes. Develop your own. If you make billions in lagos and the billions are still reinvested in Lagos, you've not made anything. Aku ruo ulo amara onye nwe ya. Igboland will develop when we make wealth outside and send it home. The houses you build in Lagos because of the appreciation rate of Lagos can be built equally in the east to boost the appreciation rate there. Lagos is appreciating because you've developed it, do same down home.
Politically, Igbo's are marginalized because they are seen as divided people who cannot come together with one voice.

your kinship will just kill you because you progress more than their relatives that's why Igbos always run from home to seek for greener pasture in another man's land.

Leaving the igbo development pursuit for nwodo and the ohaneze ndigbo goons is what is killing the igbo dream. you expect them to deliver but what you all do online is argue about pdp and apc, igbo and hausa and every other inconsequential threads in this forum.

i beg you, send a mail to blues2022 and he will tell you what is in the pipeline and key into this pursuit and lets do something drastic in this region.

thank you

Cameroon is very close.........You people can pot to that country.

Stop blaming nigeria, blame your leaders! If you know the damage some leaders have done in other parts of this country you would know that igbo land is still better! We are all paying the price of bad leadership....from igbos to yorubas to hausas to tivs e.t.c....Nigeria has not really been advantageous to most of us but only to a few elitist beasts!

Why are these people complaining of checkpoints? A man has vowed to wage war against Nigeria and he has gone about soliciting funds to finance said campaign. Instead of you and your fellow kinsmen to dissociate, disavow and condemn him, you lot have showed him massive support; and you would like the FG to act like it's nothing? Come on, let's be real here.

Daily, members of your tribe openly show support for this man, it's only fair the FG establishes security measures so as not to be taken unawares.

PS: Many of those checkpoints have been there since the time of Azikiwe of Otuoke. I used to travel to Abakaliki from Lagos routinely and I have also parted with cash. So, please, do not make this about tribe.

...personaly, I respect the opinion of Ohaneze Ndigbo cheif Nnia Nwodo but I disagree with it, why? Igbo must feel Nigerian, must forget about the maginalisation fiction that hold them down, and must forget about taken revenge of the past on Nigerian, and must know that every Nigerian pay the price of unity, Igbo is not feel belonging to Nigeria uptill now. If you didn't trust the nation who will trust you?
Igbo go to lagos or else where for money and they were invested there for money!
If not we are about 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria, if Igbo invest in other land why others didn't invest in Igbo land? who will invest where there is no peace? until cheif Nnia Nwodo manage to call on Igbo to accept the accord they signed with Nigeria nation as a one country that all nigerian will trust you.
Bitter truth.

My leaders have little or nothing to do about the economic distribution of this country because they have never been close to the vp since 1979 and the last time they lead the country was in 1966. So there has never been a time they held a decision making position in this country. You think they have not been bringing up these things to the fore? Why is onitsha river port so popular in the country if they have not raised the issue before? why is the marginalisation mantra so popular if they have not been raising the issue? I was amongst the people saying the politicians are not saying anything about the region before i found out that since they dont have the majority voice in the house, people either not vote for it or they vote against it.

A leader with allocation of 1.2billion monthly with thousands of people to pay salary will not have the capacity to grow the economy like a man who gets 20billion naira monthly. after paying salaries, how much is left for capital projects and other things? Just seeing that alone will weaken you, that is why igboland is filled with so many untarred roads and fake road constructions. It is not that the state lack the capacity to use first class minds, but the monetary constraint is bringing them down.

You are not saying the truth. Which peace are you looking for in igboland that you cannot find. they have filled every nigerian minds with the fact that igbo land is filled with ritualists and kidnappers. before the advent of cheap internet, the only news you get from igboland in station in lagos is either cultural dance activities in the region or how they caught some dare-devil ritualists or the political instability in the region. They killed the light of the region until recently when igbos start bringing up their own pages on facebook and later websites to showcase to people that beautiful things are actually happening in the region. it was only recently someone said he never knew enugu was beautiful. even my colleague once went to enugu and screamed that the place is lovely and calm.

have you forgotten that before on nta, it is either southwest or northern news that dominated the airwaves?

in the 90's, how many people knew about akwa ibom or bayelsa? if not for internet, these places were in the dark but they were giving nigeria so much money but investors are not going there. apart from oil companies, there is no other economic activity happening in akwa ibom.

I will keep telling people, this country is structured to favour a certain people while the other people are meant to serve.

it will change soon.

But why do some of you iboes reason down south?
Can you prove the emboldened? And besides, if there are more iboes in SE than the whole of Lagos or SW and you are so good at developing other people's land. How come your vast population in SE couldn't developed alaigbo as you did with Lagos.?

Honestly, I don taaya for you people. The way you reason can be so annoying.

Anyway, I will be here waiting for you to prove to the whole world how you developed Lagos with less ibos population while the whole of SE with vast population of iboes couldn't achieved the same hence you lamentation.

Oga, Igbos developed Lagos and they are still developing the parts that needs development.

Have you been to any southeast state? only Lagos can beat Anambra When it comes to infrastructures and industries.
