Igbo's should not be in higly volatile and under-developed states like Bayelsa by myplaydiary: 10:02am On May 12, 2017 |
Igbo's we have been warned several times to go back home and invest in our lands but we feel that going to a foreign land in search of greener pastures will earn us better respect than those in our respective Igbo cities. We however fail to realize or take note of the fact that the richest, most successful and most respected Igbo billionaires are the ones whom have their business or massive investment in Igboland. The likes of Ibeto, Innoson, Obijackson, Cosharis, Ifeanyi Ubah, Tonimas, Dr Maduka, just to name a few and many of them made their wealth in the South east before spreading their investment tentacles to the rest of the federation. Have we not understood that our constant trade and economic dominance in various towns in other states that cannot even match up to some villages in the southeast breeds jealousy and anger, yes we understand that these areas provide opportunities for us but when you have harnessed these opportunities and become successful the natives become envious. So this should tell us that the safety of our business cannot be guaranteed in these volatile areas, so we best leave and avoid such areas or simply run skeletal operations there while we have a major part of the business in Igboland. Take Bayelsa for example, tell me what Business Igbo's do in Bayelsa an oil state capital that cannot even match up to Abakaliki in terms of beauty, development and population apart from the fact that Bayelsa is an oil producing state it has noting else to offer or bring to the table. Our Igbo brother are better off in Port-harcourt doing their business. If our Igbo traders don't go to Bayelsa to do business trust me those Bayelsan's will most likely have to travel to Port-Harcourt to buy what they need like Cars, Phones, Laptops, wears etc or simply patronize whatever skeletal trading activities left at the mercy of the seller. These same Bayelsan's have been launching systematic attacks on Igbo traders for the past 3years unprovoked, we remember the case of attacks on Igbo businesses on the celebrations or Adaka Boro day, we also remember the kidnappings and attacks on Prominent Igbo business men in the state, we also remember attacks on Igbo businesses which prompted these Igbo traders to go and report to the police telling them that if the police cannot protect them that they are able to protect themselves, but must we lived in another mans land by force, must we live in Bayelsa the way we live in Kaduna South. Bayelsa as a state or city cannot compare to any South eastern State or city as a matter of fact only 2 cities in the South South can compete or be compared with any South eastern city like Enugu, Onitsha, Owerri, Awka, Aba and Umuahia, and the South South cities are Calabar and Port-Harcourt, but Port-harcourt and Asaba are Igbo cities in the South South, please nobody should even mention Uyo, Uyo is still a glorified town with world class infrastructure kudos to Godwill Akpabio for that. If you remove those Akpabio's infrastructures Uyo will be competing with the likes of Nnewi, Orlu, and Nsukka. If at all we must live outside the borders of our regions we must always live in metropolitan cities like Abuja, Lagos, Port-Harcourt, these are the only cities that can compete or exceed Igbo cities in terms of economic development, infrastructural development, commerce and industry, population, standard of living, Education, exposure, health and wealth Index. So Igbo's let us be wise and heed to the call of our Governor's, Ohanaeze, Nnamdi Kanu and go back home to invest while living in metropolitan cities in the federation. Aku luo uno.

business is business, ibos can do their business anywhere in nigeria since they are nigerians. The onus is on massob or related body to make sure ibos in diaspora enjoy the benefit of being nigerian just like afenifere and arewa are currently doing |

you just spoil this thread by mentioning portharcourt. why do you want derailers to invade this thread. Portharcourt will be an Igbo city if the ikwerres wholly embrace their Igboness but that is not the case. just avoid unnecessary argument. Port harcourt history is controversial. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Amarabae:Amy don't fall for the whole Ikwerre thing Ikwerre is only playing Nigerian politics. Do you really think that in a case of Nigerians disintegration that Ikwerres will leave Igbo and go with Ijaws? Now Pat Utomi a Igbo scholar and elder statesman have come out to say that PH is Igboland have you heard any renowned Ikwerre son come out to disprove his claim, the only ones who will make attempt to do that are the Ijaws Now let me categorically state people who keep singing the PH is not Igboland and Ikwerre is not Igbo and their interest. Yorubas, especially on Nairaland, but their elders know that PH is Igboland, interest; they don't want Igbo's to have a sea port, access to the sea or anything that comes close to Lagos. Ijaws, both online and offline, interest; they are illegal occupant of PH so they want Ikwerres to denounce the larger Igbo family so it will be easy for them to either by hook or crook or the use of force to take PH when the time is right trust me that time will come even the Ikwerres know this, they and the Ijaws are sitting on a keg of gunpowder secondly Ijaws still live in Igbo properties till this day and they know the implications. So they worry and desperately want Ikwerre to denounce Igbo for ijaw interest. So my dear don't fall for the antics on NL. Ikwerres are wise, do you think it is a coincidence that some identify with Igbo and Ohanaeze while some play neutral, while others disassociate. Have you not notice Ijaws saying Okirika is Ijaw, but will be quick to say Ikwerre is not Igbo even when Ikwerre speaks Igbo and okirika speaks a language that is not intelligible with the Ijaws and even more Igbo sounding... My dear don't fall for Ijaw antics... and harbor no hate towards Ikwerre or PH it's basically for survival. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

I love your thread, but no need comparing cities in terms of development. Igboland is open to her sons and daughters that are willing to embrace her, and enrich them. Nothing like home sweet home. If only they can heed the call and start relocating....if only ![]() |

No need talking too much, your people have been hitting it big in Bayelsa for years on end, your sisters get married to our brothers and work in good places Bayelsa chances yet you didn't complain there instead when your brother murdered a Bayelsa girl in cold blood you started crying like a victim. Where did your sense go to ? 16 Likes 1 Share |

RZArecta:does a singular act of murder give Bayelsan's reason to take the law into their hands and destroy legitimate business men's means of livelihood. So because Igbo's hit it big in Bayelsa that gives your kind reasons to take laws into their hands. And the actions by the Bayelsan's have been reoccurring even unprovoked, so you see I am not crying victim, just re-echoing what we have been telling our people.

Well, Yes it is true that our properties have been destroyed in Bayelsa but thank God no lives have been lost, I know you Afonjas were looking forward to a clash between Igbo's and the Ijaws well sorry this one disappointed you... As for Port-harcourt, is it Ikwerre that you are expecting to fight their Igbo brothers in PH na wa for you, or is it the Ijaws who are not aborigines of PH that you want to do same in PH.
