SoNature:

I challenge anyone beating the drum of war to stop hiding under a faceless identity.

Use your real identity.

Senseless youths who don't know what war is are all over this trade talking about war!

Some of you are even overseas talking about war in Nigeria!

Those people talking about wars should go and ask their parents how they suffered during the war.

I trust the Nigerian military to deal with any fool trying to forment troubles.

Nonsense!

Seun, Mynd44, you guys should be monitoring this Imo thread closely

Nairaland.com shouldn't be a platform where people talk about war!

Ofodirinwa:


A warehouse? To sell us more cement? You're parading this?
wow

Abagworo:


It is more than a warehouse but an office complex with several multistorey buildings housing different departments of his company. Very soon the full photos of the complex will be available but here is the one I've been able to crop.

SoNature,

You gag, you censure.

But FYI
When people feel caged, there is no limit to where they discuss freedom.

Without having Igbo as president of Nigeria, the economic, political, cultural, and social advancement of the Igbo tribe must remain stunted. Nigeria's growth remains equally stunted.

Nigeria was politically restructured by northern Nigeria's soldiers to exclude the Igbo and other minorities from the country's presidential position. (GEJ Presidency was an aberration).

You may be happy over Nigeria as it is, but in future, your offspring cannot.

Bottom line:
I am aware you want only Okorocha's development projects in Owerri here.

I am also aware you are most pained when ever anyone laments over Gov. Okorocha's macabre dance in Orlu.
But be informed: everybody must not become like SoNature.

horsepower101:


What about all the previous years before IPOB or pro-biafran organizations came into existence. What stopped them from investing in Igboland? What was the excuse then?

Also a typical Yoruba or Hausa man will live in Uyo, calabar and portharcourt for decades but will never build on single house or factory. What is the excuse?

Igbos need to be wise. Blind investment all over Nigeria needs to stop.

For those Igbos who have invested heavily in the North and West, I have nothing personal against you. Its your money so you can do what you please with it. But start reinvesting part of your profit and wealth back home. Even if its building house in your village, its still much better than having none.

SoNature:


Speak for yourself.

Take it or leave it, a restructured Nigeria is better than a divided Nigeria. Every tribe is important in this entity - what we need is to fix the failings of the as-is system.

Nigeria is too connected to be divided now. Nobody will allow anyone secede - go and write it down. Our people must insist on restructuring not secession.

Besides people take their businesses where they have huge growth prospects. You cannot compare Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt to any state in the east because those cities grew and people took their businesses there. Again, there's money flowing in those cities, which offer growth prospects to businesses.

Igbos fought a civil war for years, and the cities were stifled of funds even after the war. As a consequence, Igbos left the region in their numbers in search of greener pasture. So, you shouldn't expect people to be taking their businesses in places where there's seemingly no money flowing (at least that's the impression we make when we leave the south east in our droves).

Speaking of agitation, trust me, I think the south south people are the most cheated. Give them peanuts, ruin their lands and waters. Yet those guys don't call for secession.

We must retrace our steps

Secession is hurting our region

BreakupNigeria:
Although you have good sentence structure but you sound absolutely incoherent and confused, so I won't blame it on illiteracy rather it's a case of crass ignorance at display. Firstly is P.H not in the East? Are you kidding me, you want to compare Igbo cities with Lagos and Abuja the economic and political capital respectively of a centralized country?? And who told you that Biafra is not feasible? Are you in Nigeria at all seeing all that is happening yet continues to live in utter denial?? I can tell you categorically that Nigeria is the world's number one country that is most likely to break up in less than 10 years. You don't need to be a prophet or CIA agent to know that, anybody who is intelligent and discerning enough should know that already and believe me, it's not wishful thinking or doomsday prediction but it's based on the facts on ground. I agree with you that we should pray against outright war and hope that events will happen peacefully. That said, kam jukwaa gi, oburu Na ndi fulani herdsmen ebido igbu ndi be anyi n'ala Igbo ka ha si Egbu ndi no n'mpahara etiti Nigeria, iga agbachi nkiti n'ihi Na ichoghi ilu ogu? Nna, kam gwaghi nke bu Ezi okwu, Anam enyo gi enyo n'ihi of obi n'agwam Na ibughi nwa afo Igbo. Imara ihe, I ga akwado Biafra ma site n'ime ya nweta restructuring. Since you have been chanting for restructuring for donkey years now, like a broken record, has the owners of Nigeria listened to you? It was even during the time IPOB was in their heydays that the owners of Nigeria started muting the idea of accepting restructuring but immediately the ovation died down, it was back to status quo. I used to be a strong believer in one indivisible Nigeria until my eyes became opened and I realized how hopeless the country is along with the people in it. Please emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Abagworo:



APC will give Nigeria restructuring and Igbo President. Nigeria is already on the move towards greatness and in a few months time those politicians behind the killings and their sponsors will be apprehended for the good of all. Biafra is not an option without Igbos in Southeast being united 1st of all. I was once an advocate of Igbo republic but I changed my mind after realizing we can't have a workable Igbo republic that will be merit based, equality based and justice to all.

Sprumbabafather:


But you are an advocate Nigeria? Does Nigeria have the bolded qualities you listed?

SoNature:


Biko hapum aka.

There are ways rational people discuss issues other than talking about war up and down.

My family lost so much in the civil war, and I will resist any senseless attempt to drag my people into another round of avoidable war.

Go on Vanguard Newspaper or google the well-researched article Senator Ike Ekweremadu wrote about how to pursue freedom.

Read it and sensitize those warmongers.

Our topmost priority should be how to protect our peoples in our local communities from the marauders, not suggesting that there's going to be war.

Some of you guys are overseas suggesting that war is coming in Nigeria...because you won't be affected

You lots don't seem to have learned from the civil war of 1966, so, apparently, you want a repeat of it. Azhigbakwa!

Nigeria is having issues, no doubt, but suggesting that there's an imminent war is something I will definitely resist because war isn't ever going to happen!

As regards Rochas, go through my comments here and see where I hauled him over the coals several times. Yes, my assessment of his administration is objective even though my people aren’t benefiting from his government either.

That said, I firmly believe that Imo is our state, any development in Owerri or anywhere else for that matter is a welcome development.

But you lads from Orlu seem to rant (I am afraid it's true!) the most, forgetting that your people have been in power for nearly 12 years. Ohakim, our ineffective governor, wasted our four years in power, yet we don't shed crocodile tears here, like you Orlu chaps.

ChimaAdeoye:


These are words on marble.

As much as i pray against war in Nigeria, everyday i see there is truly no way of avoiding a second civil war the way thing are going in Nigeria. The only thing is that this time, a lot more Nigerians will decide to fight for semi-independence autonomy to rule themselves than outright breakup of Nigeria.

A war will come to Nigeria at some point, but it will have different set of combatants from the first civil war.

I pity those Igbos still going into the far north to invest their life's savings. They will lose everything and unlike in the past, not even their fellow Igbos will pity them this time.

mandax:




You don't accept that Nigeria is already at war, (you called it issues) because the war is not fought in your door mouth in your comfort zone outside the east side of Nigeria. Selfish
Don't let those who have lost men and wealth in the ongoing war hear you.

You suggested the Igbo prepare to protect its people from the marauders. But the marauders are fully armed - lock, stock and barrel. How do you stop them without war against them?? Run to the UN??
The Deputy Secretary General of the UN is a Fulani lady. It's like what is going on in the country is programmed. Wake up. Many of us have landed property outside the east of Nigeria.

Abagworo:


Nigeria doesn't have it but Nigeria is a much bigger country with better opportunities hence more advantaged despite similar situation.

Sprumbabafather:


The size of Nigeria is the first major problem it has. Nigeria is large and slow that people might be dying in one end and people from the other end cannot even hear it.
Nigeria is large that it has become too slow and clogged up with underdevelopment
Nigeria is so large that scarce resources gets snatched by the leaders for selfish reasons and some might never find out.
Nigeria is so large that things can never work in it.

That's why we need our own country where everyone understand each other and we can have more opportunities to better ourselves without being pulled back by your northern brothers who are hell bent on returning to the 18th century lifestyle.

NIGERIA HAS REALLY HELD THE IGBO PEOPLE DOWN SINCE INDEPENDENCE.

Must youuuuuu criticize Ehh? As an unbiased social critic or Imo state lover you should have Commended Gov. Okorocha for all his infrastructural development in Imo state. Instead of Sharing the money to the same elites who can afford to keep there Children in USA, UK, ABUJA and milk the state dry to always be of the same status decade by decade as it was the case before Okorocha.

Oya Answer These Questions And Get Sense Comm On

1) Were are these Projects located?

5) Were are local council and local Governments located within Imo state or were?
6) As crazy as you think Okorocha is, Do you think that he will just wake up every morning and start spending without a set down program?
7) Mention the most critical issues restricting the state Imo state from accelerated developments and generating higher revenue internally?

SoNature:


Let's face it: do you honestly blame them when are only are the only Nigerian tribe always clamouring for secession instead of restructuring?

It's only Igbos who have separatist groups while the rest of the tribes in Nigeria have militia that uses force to get what their people deserve. But the Igbos want out!

The last things an investor wants to experience are political instability and uncertainty.

Sincerely, I don't blame them because every move Nnamdi Kanu, Ben Onwuka or Ralph Uwazuruike makes has a far-reaching negative effect
