DanArrewa:Most of you have never traveled outside your tribal state, so you can comfortably sit in your hut and type whatever comes to your brain. The reason Igbos are wiser than most tribes is their travelling history and habit. A traveler is wiser than a grey hair man that sits in one place, I didn't create that well known adage. An average Igbo man aside his home state must have visited and spent time in more than 2 states that are not Igbo states, which makes him see things happening in other regions and adapt faster and make sound judgments. Now let me tell you. Southeast produce their own rice. If Southeast were to be a country of its own, EbonyI state alone can produce enough rice that will feed the whole southeast and some southsouth, that's self sufficiency. If you doubt me, visit Ebonyi state or Google Abakaliki rice. Anambra is another southeast state that cultivate rice in commercial quantity that is also sold outside Southeast region. In Imo state, Ohaji Egbema is a big community known for commercial farming of yam, cassava, palm oil, etc. Most of the cassava consumed in Nigeria comes from Akwa Ibom, Imo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Abia and Delta states. I used to supply cassava to industries in Ogun, Lagos, Enugu, etc, so I know what I am talking about. If you care to know, Nigerian States that are considered to be the largest producers of palm oil are Akwa-Ibom, Abia, Imo, Rivers, Enugu, Edo, Ondo, Bayelsa, Cross River and Delta. Akwa-Ibom, Imo state are the highest producer of palm oil in Nigeria, followed by Ogun/Ondo states, then others. Southeast is the highest producer of palm oil in Nigeria which was one of Nigeria's major exports in the 70s and even 80s such that Malaysian government came to Nigeria to get palm nuts to start their own palm oil plantations which they export worldwide today. Palm kernel too used in manufacturing so many household items you are using comes mostly from the Southeast. Yes Fulanis are known for cattle farming, but are you aware that Igbos are into cattle farming too Some communities and entrepreneurs in Anambra and Abia are into cattle farming, make a research by visiting. Now, one other misconception most of you from the north and some Yorubas have about Southeast region which is borne out of political marginalization after the civil war is your mischievous belief that Southeast does not produce crude oil. Let me educate you, Southeast also produce crude oil, Adax Petroleum, Shell and even Mobil have been exploring crude oil in some southeast communities since 1970s till date. Have you heard of Uguta It's a crude oil producing community in Imo state. Ohaji Egbema too have. Nekede have oil wells cordoned by federal government for decades waiting exploration. They have cordoned oil wells around FUTO area communities too. In fact, Adax Petroleum does most of its crude oil exploration in Uguta. Are you aware that there is a Shell Oil camp, a massive housing estate for Shell Oil workers in Owerri Imo state that was built around the 60s or so and still existing till date Go to Abia state, there are so many oil wells and oil producing communities producing the crude oil revenue shared in Nigeria. Okay let's go to Aba the Southeast commercial hub where many things are locally produced and exported to African countries. This is the most important of all not some natural resources which does not make any nation become industrialised or technologically developed. The human-capital development going on in Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka can lead to a national industrial and technological revolution in a well structured government with good government policies. Make out time to travel around southeast and your perspective about Igbos will change completely like those that did. 1 Like |

humilitypays:everything you mentioned above is below average in igbo land.... Igbos don't have land for farming.. Igbos don't produce anything that is exportable to other regions except palm oil... An average farmer in the north own not lest than 10 hectare of farm plants... Why an average eastern traders own not more than 1 hectare... Igbos have no fertile land for agriculture and have no land mask for that... I have been to east... Almost all the the agriculture produce in the east is from the north 1 Like |

zionmde: Northerners in the West come here with the mindset of working and saving up enough. If you go to the north, you'll see the lazy Northerners there too. Will you travel to U. S to laze around? This cannot be used as a basis for determining a tribe's hardwork or laziness. 2 Likes |

Thiwalade:There is academic research that compares migrants to those that stay at home in terms of their drive, motivation and attitude to work. So what you say is sensible.

DanArrewa:Palm Oil alone is Indonesia's major export earning them $billions of revenue. Being an effective farmer or farming community goes beyond land mass.....farm mechanization matters. Wait until more Igbo entrepreneurs venture into cattle farming, then you will know that to produce healthy beef or milk is not by trekking all over Africa with herds of cattle forming herdsmen, but by applying best modern practices to maximize output. Did I also tell you that Abia, Imo are one of the highest producers of cashew in Nigeria Ebonyi state is also the highest producer and major source of salt production in Nigeria....so stop being misled okay To you, farming is all about groundnut, wheat, cow, potato.....other farm produce don't matter to you. Most of the items you use in your home are made from starch which comes from cassava which comes from Southeast, Benue, Kogi, palm oil, palm kernel which comes mostly from southeast region. Stop listening to political propaganda of your political elites who tell you all horrible things about southeast region and how southeast region have nothing and have small landlocked barren lands, yet they refuse to let them leave Nigeria in peace, what does that tell you If Southeast were to be a country of its own, crude oil from southeast states will be more than enough for Southeast and small for export but not in large quantity deposits as found in Akwa-Ibom, etc.....but mind you, several oil wells and crude oil sites in Southeast were intentionally abandoned by Northern-controlled federal government since the end of civil war as a way of sidelining southeast region and discouraging Igbos from seeking for further secession.....if Southeast gets her freedom peacefully, so many intentionally abandoned crude oil sites will be explored....Akwa-Ibom have the highest crude oil deposit in Nigeria, and they share close leg-border with Abia state, what does that tell you Rivers, Delta states that also have large deposits of crude oil also share close leg borders with Southeast communities, what does that also tell you My brother, travel and see,I doubt you have been to the east or stayed long there to learn more about southeast, you rely mostly on fabricated stories and hate-words from political jobbers......stop living in Kano state forever, travel out of the north and visit southeast and your misconceptions about Igbos and Igbo region will change completely like those of your type that did. |

BoboNkiti19: Just calling your senseless ranting out. Most time people from the potopoto republic brag just about everything, even when the reality point to a people that should be sober about how backward their region has become under the leadership of "kerosene distributor" Apart from Ekiti most southwest state have better internal generated revenue than Abia state. It will be demeaning to compare any part of the southwest that Abia the shit hole capital. 4 Likes |

DanArrewa:So Adax Petroleum,Shell Oil are wasting their time and resources in Imo and Abia states exploring crude oil ba So salt that is mostly produced in Ebonyi state which I am sure you will use this morning to drink kunu and fura is a waste So the palm kernel used in producing the soap you use for bathing, mastur*bation, washing clothes, etc and even in making creams you rob to lighten up in order to attract Aisha and Saidat are all waste ba My brother now I can see that you are just here to argue for arguing sake out of your political dislike for Igbos, so I can leave you to enjoy yourself......but the facts and figures stand for all to see...and if you and your northern brothers truly believe that Igbos have nothing to offer and have a barren land, then kindly start the process of peaceful division of Nigeria into regions that wish to leave in peace, and after 50 years, you can go back and check records and see. I am done, have a lovely day ahead |

kettykings:OP,in as much as I know the north produce more of non oil products than the south west and the entire southern Nigeria,however you failed completely when you acknowledge the loads of trailers of food products from the north as what comes from the north but ended up saying that the oil in the delta belongs to the whole Nigeria. if your agricultural products belong to you , it means my oil belongs to me. and remember oil revenue drives the agricultural inputs your people receive from federal govt especially the anchor borrowers program. if Nigeria is restructured like you claimed to pray for,oil will be restructured as well.while you v comparative advantage in agricultural products,we v ours in oil and it's derivatives.what will then count is the skills and foresight of the leaders from both side. as per sobowale,he dishes out wrong information which his people r the only one that believe it. |
