What stats exactly?

You are becoming emotional now.

Telecoms stats - identity of active registered lines.

The SW ranked highest

Coldie:

Seriously do u think before u talk?

If in Nigeria do u think if they decide to do every region control your resources 100% and pay tax to the fg, we igbos will be at the loosing end?

If bayelsa starts controlling its resources, how do u think states like ebonyi and Enugu without oil will run?

Even IMO and abia are marginal producers so their production can't be banked on.

How will the SE survive?

U people are so much in a hurry that u are willing to commit suicide to spite I dont know if its Nigeria or the north

IGBO HAVE ENOUGH OIL, GAS, GOLD, COAL, LAND ETC.

THE AREAS THAT PRODUCE OIL WILL BE SPECIALIST AREA AND THEIR OIL IS FOR THEM.

THE REST OF US WILL HAVE TO TRADE AND STUDY A SPECIALITY LIKE ENGINEERING AND MEDICINE TO GAIN OUR OWN INDUSTRY.

IGBO PEOPLE ARE NOT LAZY DEPENDING ON HAND OUT.

YOUR MENTALITY IS A TYPICAL NIGERIA LAZY YOUTH THINKING.

IJAW HAVE OIL, LET US GO THERE AND COMMIT GENOCIDE IN ODI AND AFTER THAT TAKE THEIR OIL, SO WE DO NOTHING.


PACK UP ALL THE INDUSTRIES, WE WILL NOW USE OIL MONEY TO IMPORT EVERYTHING. ALMAJIRI THINKING!

Imo has big gas reserve, likewise Anambra.
Ebonyi is blessed with solid mineral resources, and fertile lands.

Enugu would have to get more innovative leaders, leverage on its real estate sector, and try to develop the Emene industrial estate more.

Igbo is still Igbo, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
That you falsified things and refuse to live in truth to suppress the Igbo, does not stop the Igbo from being Igbo.
We remain Ndiigbo , and our time will still come again. Hopefully in an independent Igbo republic.

Goodluck.

But as far as whatever doesn't favour you is falsified, prepare to remain trodden upon.

Before your very eyes, an Ijaw man - a super minority - became president...

Fact

I think the 2006 population gave us a clue.the south east had 16 million people.and there's a popular claim that half of igbos are outside the east which means that igbos outside igboland but in Nigeria are 16 million which means igbos are 32 million.the west had 27 million.at least 7 million are settlers.if 16 million igbos are outside the east,13 million yorubas are outside which still places yorubas higher

MuchAdo:


Goodluck.

We helped GEJ become President and we don't see how his presidency helped local fishermen in Ogbia.
Their water is still polluted and they can't even afford clean water, despite being surrounded by water.
Nigerian presidency apart from helping commoners win inter tribal banters, seem almost useless.
Look at the hordes of almajiris trooping from North to South.
Northern presidency failed those kids.

I respect you very much,please don't do this.when did TIV's start dominating taraba, have you ever produced a governor or deputy? How many lgas do you dominate? This is preposterous.you cannot be more than 15% in taraba and 10% in nasarawa.over 50% of yobe is kanuri.close to 20% of jigawa is kanuri

Are you aware we dominate the entire Lafia north constituency and we produce house of reps there, i dont know who won there last year, the fact we are a quiet tribe doesn't mean we are not much in number, in taraba i dont want to talk about there, taraba was the initial home of the tiv, together with jukum and koteb check that history........
if not because of anything even benue, a tiv person wont be governor, the idomas make more noise than us..... while in school, they normally ask me if idomas are the ones ruling and dominating benue, this is the height of it....
even when i was in school i was been refered to as an idoma boy because i come from benue.....
in fact when i won the election in my department that year, the idoma association invited me, because they were told im an idoma...............

Which tribe does not have educated and resourceful population?

That's the point.
Igbo man does not think about what others are doing or not doing, whether they failed or succeeded.
He just says what he wants and would pursue, and others start saying he is trying to insult them or act haughty.
I didn't say anything about other groups human resources.
I'm only focused about Igbo human resources, but see how you are trying to twist my words

Saying all these things u keep shooting urself on the foot. Is there anything stopping u right now from engaging in ur trade or area of speciality?

I ask u?

If ijaw have oil and odi happened, how does it concern u an igbo man from Enugu?

U and I know that pack up all the industries and import everything is not caused by almajiri its caused by we igbos.

Y do u think we are the largest importer's, yet industries and companies are very scarce in igbo land.

Its almajiri that stopped rice importation.

If them leave Anambra business men they are ready to import everything down to the last grain of sand.

Biafra no go easy o...lol

Igboid:


Niger Republic and Chad still practice polygamy and are Muslims, yet are sparsely populated.
Don't be deceived.
Many people we call Hausas in Nigeria are not, many are Chadians and Niger people they are giving free access to flood Nigeria.

Polygamy has never been a main determinant factor in population. Look at Saudi Arabia the home of Islam with polygamy, despite the rich oil economy, they are not even up to 45m people in Saudi.

That one is different.we can still bring up Egypt,Indonesia,Bangladesh,pakistan who are Muslims.the chances of the yorubas overtaking you is too great sir

Coldie:

See the kind thing, u dae count as achievements.

No wonder Africa is very much backwards

I did not count it as achievements dumbass. What happened to the Ibos was unfortunate and nobody should have to go through that. With that said am just trying to educate some dumbass why ibo might have been more populous in the past than Yoruba it simply isn’t so now. And that is in part due to the war.

Igboid:


We lost millions in slave trade to Americas and recovered well.
We are Igbos. Our society is built to quickly regenerate lost population, we have Omenala in place to ensure that.
Moreover, not many Biafran adults died.
Biafran soldiers killed more Nigerian soldiers.
People that died in Biafra in millions were mainly children who died of starvation following the Nigerian starvation policy.

They were quickly replaced by their parents after the war.
If anything, Igbo population post civil war experienced a population boom!

Is Chukwu not wonderful?

Yes, I noticed that. Growing up in Lagos, the street we resided in had more Igbo that the native Yorubas. The average Igbo couple, had atleast 7 children. We're 9 children in my family. I don't know if Igbo couples are willing to have that much number of children again, I guess maybe for economic reasons.

You speaking on probability.
Considering their bigger landmass and less erosion prone land, would you have believed we were ahead of them to start with?

We are Igbos, we beat the odds.

That's what we do. We stick out like sore thumbs.

Coldie:

But the population matters.
If it doesn't, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Population matters. You just need them to be resourceful population.
Which we can do in Republic of Igboland.

All that is irrelevant now.

Nevertheless, Igbos bought into GEJ after Yorubas via Obasanjo and the Save Nigeria Group got him installed as acting president. We also supported his fresh term bid in 2011.

Also, if presidency doesn't benefit the holder's tribe, why are Igbos clamoring for 2023 presidency/vice

For bragging rights.

We mostly want Biafra. Do a survey in Igboland and ask us to choose between Nigerian presidency and Biafra, many would choose both as they are not mutually exclusive.
But most would prefer Biafra if we must pick one.

All these things are speculations.

If the east has all these things as u said, what's stopping our leaders from harnessing it?

Has anyone stooped Enugu govt from doing whatever with the emene industrial layout?

Has anyone stoped IMO or Anambra from utilizing it's huge gas reserves if really it exists?

Has anyone stoped ebonyi from exploiting its minerals?

The excuse sounds very lame

The largest tribe in nasarawa is the eggons while the largest in taraba is between mumuye,Fulanis and jukuns.

Exactly!

So don't you ever castigate GEJ's 5-year presidency.

It remains a great achievement for his Ijaw tribe and the more reason they will stick one Nigeria rather than Biafra.

They have paid their dues and have been rewarded.

The quest for Biafra will never allow the Igbos smell the presidency or even vice. It's time to choose an hustle and stick to it.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU ANAMBRA HAPPENS TO BE HOME TO NIGERIA INDUSTRIAL SECTOR AND EVEN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, SO THAT UNDERSCORES YOUR SUBMISSION.

IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT AWOLOWO POST WAR ECONOMIC POLICY WAS ANCHORED ON HANDOUT.

NOT ONLY DID HE COLLECT IGBO MONEY, HE WANTED EVERYTHING FROM EDUCATION TO HEALTHCARE FREE, BECAUSE OF OIL.

HE WANTED THE OIL TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING.

THEY WOULD IMPORT CHAMPAIGN FROM FRANCE AND FLY IT TO NIGERIA FOR A PRIVATE PARTY AT THE MARINA.

My father elder brother died in the war.

Nnaa, I don't want to tell you how many we are in my family, we are batallion.
He has to make up for the elder brother vacuum, since he inherited his lands and other things. The Umunna kept pestering him to replenish the Obi.

There was a baby boom in Igboland post civil war.
The baby boom meant that most couldn't go to school, so we had a set back in education, as family finances were focused on replenishing lost populations. It was later that the first borns after making money through trading, sent money home for the younger ones to go to tertiary institution.
It was this vacuum in education experienced in Igboland between 1970 to early 80s, as all resources were channelled to raising bigger families, that allowed Yorubas take a lead on us in education and created the myth of Igbos being traders majorly.
Immediately we were done with replenishing lost population in Biafra, we went back to school and pushed them back.

If u go to Katsina right now I dont think u would be saying this rubbish.
