So you are no claiming effort of NigerDelta as Igbos now but when we talk about coup plotters they are no. Longer Igbos ba

Afamed:

That's kind of hypocrite they practice.

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.

Because you said we should discuss intelligently let me give you one thing naija gave the igbos:

Naija gave the igbos the license to use and tarnish its name in countries all around the world by pushing drugs,selling contrabands, yahoo yahoo, robbery,cultism, human trafficking, kidnapping, Prostitution, baby factories and all kinds of heinous crimes you can think off.

How about that for intelligence??

But without open borders within a single entity, Igbo traders would have been immigrants, and there would have bewn taxes and tariffs on all their goods and services. It is not only about roads.

Again, most agricultural produce consumed in the Igbo regions is produced outside it. Without the presence of the Federation, Igbos would have had to import all their food.

I have been to the East; only it was a long time ago to be honest. The problem is not with the Central government but with the regional government. Federal allocatiins are adequate and commensurate with what other states are receiving, but to be sincere, the level of mismanagement of funds though endemic nationwide; seems to be much higher in the Igbo regions. I am sincerely no tribalist, and if you were sincere, I am sure you would acknowledge this to be true.

Igbos are the ones who marginalize themselves. They are open about their hatred of every other tribe in Nigeria; sometimes they even hate each other when there is jo one else to diss. You will see Mbaise man talking about Abakaliki man, and Imo woman talking about Anambra woman. Self-pity and self-victimization are not endearing characteristics anywhere. Yet the Igbos still have a strong showing in all parts of the decision making process, from the Senate to the Judiciary and the Ministries.

But the national body as a whole does permit movement of all citizens within the Federation. The Igbos are the most prevalent of all the Nigerian tribes within other communities. Their region alone could not have supported all their population at this standard of living. In the avsence of the Federation, the Igbos would have been immigrants in Kano, Port Harcourt, Lagos or Abuja where most of the jobs are.

Ok. Now I understand the specific meaning. Initially, the op attached his question to the other more common question of Igbo autonomy. So I based my response on the issue of being part of the Federation.

To answer your renewed premise, the projects you named in other regions are specific problems of those regions. For example, the Almajiri schools were primarily a response to the insecurity faced by the whole nation; not a specific favour to the North alone. The 13% derivation fund is as it states, derived from the resources in the South South and is necessary to address the resultant pollution and vocational loss. As for infrastructure projects in the Western regions, they are essential due to the greater presence of industry in those regions; and it is these industries that contribute to the nation's wealth making those projects economically profitable. Those are issues that directly affect the whole nation and not those specific regions. The Igbo regions have self inflicted issues that make them less attractive to investment; even the average Igbo man would rather invest in the West or the North; so they are not targets of viable FG infrastructure projects. Also, as is the case in all regions, allocations are made to the respective Igbo States for their internal development and very little has been done with these allocations. Are your State roads/schools/hospitals better than the Federal roads/schools/hospitals in yout region? The region's officials seem to be more interested in lining their pockets than uplifting their region, and instead of the Igbo people to hold them to task, they'd rather place the blame on 'Afonjas' or 'Abokis' as the source of their problems

It is time for the Igbos to put away their carried over resentment from the now expired and historical civil war and work with others to move forward. Then they will have a viable case to present. Trust and friendship are not gained by force.

stonemasonn:
It's a valid question.

Nigeria gave the Igbos a conducive environment to create wealth for themselves.

pazienza:


Ndiigbo already created a conducive environment called Biafra and left all parts of Nigeria to Biafra in 1967-1970.


Careless statements like the one above, is an insult to the memory of our millions of dead Biafran heroes who died to protect a conducive environment called Biafra.

stonemasonn:
It's not a careless statement, Biafra wouldn't survive without the south-south and access to the sea.

pazienza:


You mean, Ethiopia, Botswana, Rwanda, which are amongst the best progressive countries in Africa today, are not progressing because they have no access to Sea?

By the way, what exactly is South South? Is that a name of an ethnic group?
are Nzeogwu, Okocha, Okonjos of this world no longer Igbos and yet from this same SS?
Even if we hypothetically assume there are no Igbo speaking territories in the amorphous SS, SE on its own is not landlocked.
We have many access to the sea through Imo River and River Niger, and even if those didn't exist, we will still be great, because if Rwanda, Ethiopia, Botswana, can do it, so can we.

Your first post is careless and insulting to our dead Biafran Heroes.
Move on.

stonemasonn:
As I said it is not a careless and insulting statement, you had free access to the large Nigeria market like everyone else and you took good advantage of it. It's not me to decide if Nzeogwu, Okonjo or Okocha are SS or Igbos.

So what has other parts done to deserve all they are getting?
There was a war in Nigeria which was obviously from a good reason (progrom) and no rehabilitation after, now the NE brought BH on themselves and since 2011 there has been rehabilitation programs running into billions of dollars yearly.
Now to what the Igbos have done; the major revenue source for Nigeria is oil and Abia and Imo state contribute to this.
Aside the SS, can you explain what other regions contribute to Nigeria?
