When Nigeria was wallowing on debt a renowned world Economist from Igbo tribe was begg to help savage ungrateful Nigeria from bankrupt.

Name one thing that igbo has done to Nigeria. Only brainless and illiterate person can ask this question.

Jan 1966 coup changed the trajectory of the new county and Ibos were the architects of that coup

If California were a country it would be between the 5th and 7th largest economy in the world. Why then is California still part of the United states?

Guestlander:


What I wrote is pretty straightforward. It is more sensible to ask what ibos have done for Nigeria rather than what Nigeria has done for ibos. That would have given some people the opportunity to respond and educate us. I did not imply anything else.
Now, the question of why Nigeria fought a war to keep Biafra part of Nigeria is a totally different one. The former eastern region was not occupied by ibos alone.

RisenPhoenix:
Okay here goes...

1. Free access to two huge markets; the North and the West, which they would not easily have accessed otherwise.

2. Cheaper agricuultural produce.

3. Economic resources spent on infrastructure development; from oil and non oil sectors.

4. Opportunity to have a say as part of the biggest economy in Africa; rather than as an insignificantly small landlocked nation similar in size to Lesotho or Swaziland.

5. Unhindered access to sea ports and major international airports.

6. Unhindered access to more extensive job opportunities which the Igbo region alone could never have handled.

I'll post others (and there are many) when I have time.

ChimaAdeoye:


Igbos fought for Nigeria's independence and won it
Igbos ceded power for a northern Prime Minister to keep the young nation united
Igbos developed Nigeria's educational curriculum as well as human capital development
Igbos helped Nigeria create a huge entrepreneurial base that is still cornerstone of the economy
Igboland is base to 75% of the country's main resource - OIL



.... I can give you more examples to your moronic question abokii!
In the end, Nigeria will collapse under the weight of its own injustice and unnecessary war against the Igbos.

The Igbos Lost the Civil war. Rather than slaughter them, Obasanjo arranged Exile for Ojukwu, brought POWS to Gowon. GOWON decleared No Victor No Vanquish in their favor. Awolowo, not El Rufai, protected all their Assets in Lagos and preserved them for them.

South East has NO VALUE they're adding to Nigeria. They have the lowest revenue generation to Federal government while THEY STILL COMPLAINS AND CASTIGATE MOST

DMerciful:
California actually want to secede.

Indigenous people of California?

IPOC? I don't think so.

[s]I will believe you if you answer these questions;
Are Deltans Igbos? I mean major parts of Niger-Delta like some parts of rivers, etc. Igbos?[/s]

I’m not here to debate those that uncles poisoned their and lied to

Guestlander:


Nonsense, don't fool yourself. Not only California, you can add Texas as well. Quebec also from Canada. The nationalist movements in these states are just asserting their independence more than a genuine push for secession.

bigpicture001:


Ur no.1 is baseless...the people found routes to market the traded with..govt is not involved....if for example govt created good railway system on the route already discovered by the traders,then you will say govt. Did something.

bigpicture001:

2. By virtue of being on a land nd all ur money exchanged for 20pounce, u turn next to agro...thats ur decision not the govt. DT u bought it from the north I'd exchanged for ur hard earned money....govt didnt intervene by subsidizing it cuz ur from war torn region or provide u cheaper means if t- fare...meaning,they did nothing

bigpicture001:

3. U HV not com to the east,hence u write as dou there are roads,rail,hospitals or housing.....

The ppl built half their inner town roads, the govt roads(F.G) are mostly dilapidated...but one can't deny the fact,it has once been done by d FG....but infrastructure in d southeast is the least in the federation

bigpicture001:

4. Did I hear u hv a say,wen everyone treats u like second class citizen..

Only major ethnic group not to lead the nation, FG keep mum,when Igbo's businesses are attacked all over the country.especially Lagos. Kemi adeosun was heard in a leaked tape degrading an entire already marginalized ethnic group, nd FG did nothing...which say do they HV when recently leaked project plans for next 30 years were released nd no south east zone....

bigpicture001:

Ur 5 nd 6 are baselesd, cuz the firms are not of FG nd no special intervention to Mk the Igbo's get jobs specially was made. The job relationship was mutual.....

bigpicture001:

So think well nd answer again. The OP meant what specifically has the FG done for them...

Like building almajiri skls specifically for the northern youths nd no where else, creating a 13% derivation fund for Niger delta nd no where else...

Nd delebrate infrastructure upliftment of the south west

kettykings:
Please can someone Name one thing Nigeria has done for the igbos which if left alone the igbos would not have been able to do for themselves either in an independent country or as a confederate state.

Please discuss intelligently

The only thing preventing these places from seceding is the lack of seccession clause. Quebec especially wants to secede.
I just told you California wants to when you ignorantly mentioned California and now you started interpreting what they meant by their own seccession as trying to assert independence.
Joker!

Were you the one that conducted a referendum for them that made you know they want to secede? Or maybe a small band of people gather together holding tags and protesting and you conclude everyone in that state wants to secede.
