Migration is a human thing. There are equally more yorubas in UK than Igbos and probably as many igbos as yoruba in USA. Migration is based on individual preferences. There are still millions of igbos at home, isn't that the case? Kill trade, and watch the larger part of igbos struggle for breath.

Igbos are able to achieve so much in Lagos because the governing policies and the location provide an enabling environment for any willing trader. And theres representation across Nigeria in the state because of this, it's not solely an igbo thing. Smart northerners are making it, same as smart individuals from other regions. Do you think Lagos would have such level of tolerance for non-local investors if it was based in the EAST? Best of luck answering that question when you guys get your biafra.

The question is how come there's so much thirst for foreign lands (with arguably lesser potentials compared to what's obtainable in the east according to comments on this thread) when you guys could easily develop your individual states by tapping into the "massive potentials" that have been highlighted so far in the thread? Is the FG to blame for that? In simple terms, you guys are accusing Nigeria as the reason why you guys prefer the potentials in Kano and Lagos to the potentials in Owerri and Aba. Is that not insanity?

The only difference between you guys and fulanis is just the level of education and exposure. An average igbo man is as intolerant, unaccommodating to his host and domineering as a Fulani man. If given the free will, you guys will prefer to rule over every community you find yourselves while your states remain inhabitable with conditions as bad as IDP camps. No wonder NK is able to attract so many hapless youths from your villages.

Name a country that has ever developed through FDI?

Why are you so fixated on whoring yourself out to the highest bidder. If the SW is to develop, it'll be at the hands of the locals. Not McDonalds or Burger King.

There's nothing special about Lagos. Lagos as a city, personifies EVERYTHING that is wrong with Nigeria. It exists, as is, solely as a result of government failure, failure to leverage the full potential of the country. So spread development throughout the entire country. Open up ports across the entire Nigerian coast, intrench itself (government) in every area of the country. Most of the Igbo people in Lagos, didn't arrive yesterday. Many arrived before and just after the Nigerian Civil War. The Igbo presence in Lagos is as a result of the actions of non-Igbo people, not this ridiculous notion of sound economic policies - unless you think bottlenecking your own economy, is smart.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but Nigeria ranks fairly low, in the area of Ease of Business. So again, you're wrong. And there's nothing particular accommodating about SW people, if this forum is anything to go by.

Igbo people are easily the most accommodating in Nigeria. Do you know why? Because despite Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani presence in our lands, you NEVER hear of any incidents. Not so long ago, Yoruba and Hausa people were killing each other on the streets of Lagos - you call that accommodating?

Benevento:


Abi nah 99% percent of Lagos is owned by Igbos.

The top 10 highest grossed movies in Nigeria were produced by Igbos.


What are fool you are, a very big one.

LOL. You gotta like how they draw figure2from their stinking asses. It's always if they did this, if they do that, they have been challenged consistently on this forum to boycott all Yoruba owned stuff, in fact, they always claim to be responsible for the success of almost everything in Lagos and I challenge them on the Lagos airport issue, portharcourt airport is working fine, ateast to back their threat up, let them start using PH airport, Hell, PH is even closer to their land than Lagos,let see if Lagos airport would collapse. The so called market they keep ranting about, Lagos state government has times without number shown it doesn't give a ratass about their markets, he'll markets have been demolished, they have been closed down times without numbers yet these Muppets think Lagos economy solely relies on markets, lmao. That was how they boasted on the thread below, we still await the actions of their threats till today.

Continue to dwell in wonderland. How many yorubas are in the east? You said yorubas aren't accommodating yet the larger potion of rich igbos were made in South West. Aren't you ashamed of your inconsistency? Stories abound on how unreceptive your people are to non-locals' success in your land, especially when it comes to purchase of Lands and properties. Do I begin to count the number of deaths that are recorded each year as a result of Igbo-hausa fights in the East? Even a non-conforming igbo person that practice Islam is seen as ndi hausa. Isn't that intolerance at its worst? What is even in the East that would make it a destination for any sound Yoruba?

If you don't know the importance of FDI to developing countries, then I can't help you.


You said Lagos personifies everything that's wrong with Nigeria, yeah. Yet, the state ranks above all states in most developmental indices. And yes, many igbo people living in Lagos arrived there 'yesterday.' If that's not the case, most of the Igbos' transport companies would have closed their offices. Lagos is a dreamland to most igbos. You can deny that fact all you want.

By government failure, are you including the failures of your leaders as well? Because it is habitual for igbos to never take responsibility. Best of luck bining that habit when you guys get your Biafra.

South West was by far the most developed region during regionalism. And yes it was all down to the ingenuity of the locals then, under a visionary leadership. I understand how much you guys overestimate the importance of your 4*4 shops littered all over Lagos. But when the time is right, and biafra becomes a reality, you guys will understand how badly your tribe depends on others to achieve any success.

Btw, you are yet to answer my question.

Deebwebb:
but why did your father's die to keep us in Nigeria,I just pity you people,you all are up for a rude awakening,I am sure you don't know anything about international waterways and laws since you are so daft..

which people died to keep you in one Nigeria? We fought to keep the oil that you guys wanted to forcefully steal ..
Igbos are inconsequential....
Shutup oga.. how do you import into river Niger when the the ship will have to pass the the waters of ND.. you will have to pay them

Ladipo Market

Idumota..

All under your nose...

Whilst your idea of human capital might reside solely on the so-called white collar or skilled labour, the human capital which made the cited markets what they are today can be retracted back to Igboland.

Professionals in Igboland can introduce technical coaching to the cited traders and artisans ...

In no time we will replicate the technological and commercial revolution that typified the Asian Tigers ..

lol.. so market is now human resources? ..what of other markets in other states like kano, oyo, kaduna? .. lmao..

what percentage of your Nigeria's total remittance is from ndigbo.................?

i don't know.. so tell me

maestroferddi:
You best the Igbos in Trade and Investment and Entertainment, dude what did you smoke?

From Lekki -Ajah to Badagry, the Igbos account for, at least, 35 per cent of business ownership and activities in Lagos State....

Almost all the major markets in Lagos are Igbo-dominated.

If all Igbo business people elect not to patronize all bank branches in Lagos, there certainly will be a bank run.

Did I hear entertainment?

Nigeria movie and cinema was non-existent till Igbos brought the Midas touch.

Nollywood is over 50 percent Igbo content.
No brainier, dude..

where do you guys always get your statistics from self? 35%, 50%, 100%..
please don't mention nollywood.. the best nollywood movies are produced by yorubas.. we are no more in the era of poor quality films shot with camcoder cameras which igbos produce when they dominated nollywood.. go and check nollywood highest grossing movies and see who dominates..
We are tired of your useless lines and how you guys always brag... firstly, you guys said lagos airport will crash if you leave.. we dared you to use abuja, enugu and portharcourt international airports. Una no gree.
then the issue of seaprt came..We also dared you to use onne port and other ND ports.. una no still gree..
I will call somebody now to post states/regions banking index so that you will shutup with that crap you just spilled..

those people you mention owned big companies and industries here.. your people only own four corner shops selling spare parts and also selling jeans on lagos pavements..

Abi nah, We developed NewYork, Tokyo, Paris London Berlin, isn't that wonderful.


But we left our own house in total mess.

Is not about how long? SW gain most from the skewed federation then even the north....that's you are hypocritical and greedy. Did you see your reaction when the north got more from the palliative distribution than the SW? You were crying all over the social media. Imagine what you SW would do if the federal wealth is shared between the SE and the north? You would have formed Oduduwa movement...just like you formed AMOTEKUN and everyone except the north, supported you.

That's why SW is the cry, cry baby of unity begging....outfit.

Biafra is a work in progress. If the federal government continues its brazen injustice...it will come faster than you can imagine.

May be you are new in the country...but everyone knows the Yorubas are averse to Nigeria splitting because they gain more than everyone other tribe.

So when Nigeria wanted independence were't your people going to London daily?

So because Kanu mention Osibanjo in his speech, you should attack his organisation?

When OPC was working to be separated from Nigeria...did the Igbos mock you?

Check the list of the top grossing movies at Nigerian cinemas and you will notice that they are conspicuously absent where the Yorubas are shinning with back-to-back hits ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Nigerian_films), not because they are not taking their films to the cinemas but rather because their style of storytelling just aren't doing well there.

Consequently, the igboman has found himself in a position that he can no longer control and is therefore frustrated, hence the recent outbursts from the likes of Zubby. The same applies to the music industry. And na that frustration go kill them because nobody will shift for them in today's market. They must be ready to compete like everybody else.

How are you ahead of the Yorubas now? Always beating your empty chest.

The Igbos are really suffering from an inferiority complex, it will take forever to catch up with the Yorubas.

I think that all 6 geopolitical zones can become a country. The idea of financial difficulties will depend how prudently the use their resources, human and natural.

I noticed how some people are rushing to say that the SE is landlocked without equally mentioning that the NW,NE and NC are all landlocked. For them, it is only the SE that is landlocked. But no worries, Niger Republic, Chad and Mali are all North of Nigeria and are all landlocked. They are all still surviving as independent country

But is the SE truly landlocked? No it isnt, the only people who think that the SE is landlocked are those who dont look at the map of Nigeria well.

What some people dont realise is that neither Imo state nor Abia state are landlocked. Oguta in Imo state and Obuaku in Abia both have access to the Sea.

If you look at the picture of Abia state below, you will see that a tributary runs from the tip of Abia, separating Rivers and Akwai Ibom states, and into the ocean. Dredge that tributary, build a Sea port and and any ship can sail to Abia state.

Don't mind the haters if not for the wicked economic policies against the people of the SE region the SE is supposed to have a functioning standard international seaport either in anambra, imo or abia states by now.

South- West is ODUDUWA is YORUBA AND already a member of UNPO. IT ONLY NEEDS TO NOW FORMALIZE MEMBERSHIP WITH THE UN AND CALL IT QUIT WITH NIGERIA FOR EVER.

Rwanda is a small landlocked country in east africa. Not quite as large as se. Yet its a country to reckon with in african and the world.Rwanda doesnt even have half the resources in the se. It is all about sound leadership. Se will fair well, even if it is landlocked. The Rwanda story tells that for africa, the smaller easier and better to develop and managed.
