Westbestside:
If you want to know if yorubas invest outside or not, go to Europe and America.

That is why you fail exam . We are talking about investing in Nigeria and I said, Yorubas don't invest outside Yoruba land in Nigeria; only Igbos invest in every part of Nigeria without being tribalistic about it...Igbos invest in any community or LGA or state in Nigeria they are living without fear of attack or competition or any other reason, which you and every Nigerian can testify to.


That is the argument.


Now talking about Yorubas investing in Europe and America, of course all Nigerians and in fact every human invests in Europe and America for obvious reasons, so its not only Yorubas that invest in Europe and America......Igbos, Hausas, Ijaws, Urhobos, Indians, Chinese, Japs, Arabs, etc invest in Europe and America....


And even when you come to the Nigerian tribe that invest outside Nigeria, Igbos top the chart (Dangote or Adenuga you may want to mention are just few individuals). We are talking about majorities investing in both small, medium and large scale businesses to multi-industries.

If you doubt me, I will give you facts based on what I know not what I heard people say.

In Asian countries that I have visited, for in stance, in China, Igbos are the major African investors in China.....in South Korea, Igbos own factories, textile processing factories, used car dissembling factories, etc.....Same applies to Germany, UK, Spain (a friend owns and runs a small engineering workshop that buys used cars and trucks to dissemble and load on containers shipped to Nigeria and other African countries as spare parts).....another friend of an elder brother does same business in US......without being hypocritical, I also know a Yoruba family that own a big bakery in US.....


But when it comes to the Nigerian tribe that invest anywhere they are without prejudice or tribal sentiments, its Igbos if you can be honest to yourself though

mrvitalis:

Then you are more dumb than I thought

E pain am......

WesleyPepper:

You didn't vote Eyo Ita. You voted NCNC which was headed by an Igbo man .
Eyo Ita was the deputy national president of NCNC . He became head of Eastern government by virtue of his position in the party .

It was a parliamentary system remember . And he was booted out when Zik returned.

Coldie:

Is it your concern?

Guy leave them make them suffer now, e concern u?

You should pity them. 90% of Nigerias income comes from there region, but their region does not have any federal presence. The one, the foolish Jonathan wanted to do, Amaechi stopped it, so he can please the blood thirsty demons from Arabia.

Xisnin:


Adaka Boro is a fool but the hate-preaching fugitive in London is a hero.
Your submission sums up all the fake love you claim to have for the Niger-Delta.
Suddenly, the secession-loving group are now against it when it paints them in a bad light.

Adaka Boro was an Ijaw nationalist, he reminds me of Che Guevara, and Thomas Sankara, young and highly focused.
He only wants the best for his people, this is what makes him a hero.

Jonathan was President for 6years, did Amaechi tell him not to develop his region?

90Percent of Nigeria's revenue does not come from the ijaws.

Neither does 90percent of Nigeria's revenue come from oil.

Stop spreading this false narrative stop giving them false sense of relevance

Cherez:

You know nothing about the war than I do. My father went to that war and rose from a cadet to a commander of the squad that confronted the NA at Onitsha & Nnewi and I have first hand information also as my uncle escaped death in Kano cos he could speak an old Bendel language.
Your point was that Adaka took up arms and you gave the man no reason.
Ojukwu picked up arms too and you're giving reasons for him. What's the difference between you and the herdsmen who justify every of their carnage?
Stop lying to yourself; OJUKWU picked up arms against the state when we Igbos got tired of the killings up North and found in him a leader.
Oga, there are 3 things we Igbos messed up with, Viz;
1. Fighting Adaka Boro by Ironsi
2. Zik calling for 1 Nigeria when the Northers backed out while Awolowo warned him
3. That 1966 coup which no Igbo leader was murdered
So, accept our fault and move on

So truthful people like you still exist

Mikehot:
So truthful people like you still exist

So ironsi should not have fought boro?

Because they don't want it to seem like igbos are bad people they should allow lawlessness?

I no send anybody o. Whether oil, Niger Delta, or Biafra. I must say the truth.

Igbos are bad people for capturing Boro for being the origin of militancy in the region, while Northerners were good people for killing him under mysterious circumstances... LoL

What a funny world.

Cherez if u were head of state then, so u would let Boro have his way because u don't want Igbos to be the bad people?

Zik did nothing. Nigeria is not negotiable, uptil today I still respect Zik for keeping Nigeria intact, as much as I respect ojukwu for defending our people.

The 1966 coup killings, its obvious that if they killed Igbo leaders or not what was coming was not unchangeable. The major cause of the reprisals was not the sparing of Igbo leaders but Aguiyi ironsis unwillingness to punish the perpetrators.

The Niger Delta already see themselves different from us I see nothing wrong with that, but using hate as a leverage to popularize this theory will make some of us Igbo thinkers always look at the Niger Delta with suspicion.

Let us all come out with open arms and reason civilized and unbiased and not with hate and ignorant sentiments.

There are some things that if I say here the divide might thicken, things that only hardcore Igbo thinkers know, but for a peaceful and progressive future we will never utter such.

I don't do blame but my own is every region contributed to this one Nigeria trap one way or the other.

But some would rather claim to be external victims, criticize everyone but themselves, the Zik you respect for keeping Nigeria intact if he hadn't we won't have heard of a civil war which birthed casualties which igbos cry with everyday for the waste of 3million and end of their proposed country.


If the new online war singers admit they contributed to this trap they would stop insulting everyone and stop the chest beating that people are holding them back.

Truth is anything secession now has to go through as a law through the legislature which they don't realize

The east comprising of both the SS and SE as an economic block is seriously backward and marginalized and your problems are how to tell us how ijaws hate igbos or how igbos hate ijaws...


This is pure FOOLISHNESS.

instead of thinkers from both regions to be thinking deep on how to make the zone progressive u, guys are here thinking division, something u and I know will NEVER happen.

For every one crime igbos committed against the Niger Delta, they have committed hundreds, you tell me about the capture of Boro, let me tell u about the massacre of western igbos in asaba by a Niger Deltan Murtala Mohammed, or how they seized our properties in port harcourt when we were trying to recover from a war, the list goes on but we ain't all over social media crying like cry babies. We moved on.

Every time I meet any south south person talking bad about us igbos if u decide to debate with them u would just be seeing full blown foolishness, ignorance and greed in display.

We financed a huge percentage of eastern revenues from coal we no complain. One of the reason rail lines were ever thought of to be in the east by the colonial masters were for coal exports, port Harcourt as a city came into being by the proceeds from it, we didn't steal complain.

But here look at there descendants shouting oil oil up and down, the rhetorics has even changed after oil started being discovered in the East, now its no longer igbos want your oil its that igbos have a plan is this not plain STUPIDITY.

I LAUGH

It is remarkable that the so called "Niger Delta People" are so concerned about Igbos taking over their 'Oil' but they have no problems with the rest of Nigeria taking over their Oil

In other words, the so called "Niger Delta People" don't want to be fighting over their Oil with one ethnic group, the Igbos, in Biafra. But the so called "Niger Delta People" are very happy to fight with over 200 ethnic groups, including Igbos, over the same Oil, in Nigeria.

This logic means that the so called "Niger Delta People" are fools because only a fool sets out to make things more difficult for themselves than necessary[/s]

Is it by force!
The ND is not part of your biafra,simple
The marginalization the ND have experienced would have been child's play if igbos had been the ones in power; this thread already gives an example.
If there ever is a chance of succession,then why on Earth can't we be on our own? Why should we form the same country with you guys of all people ?

Igbos don't want Nigeria to break we are as much angry as everyone is, my people are just trying to use breakup as leverage to make our leaders seat up.

And some other ignorant reasons displayed by ipob which u and I don't know there motives.

Marginalization like when in the 90's and early 2000's u would see a very serious organization that's supposed to make a difference being headed by a northerner that cannot even speak English or read a full sentence over qualified graduates.

I am just happy all those things are stopping, the north is beginning to grow up.

Countries dont drop down from the sky. Before a country can come, someone must be agitating for it. There is no agitation by the so called Niger Delta for this

Should Nigeria break up, I think all the Igbo/Igboids and Igbo speaking people in the SE/SS will have a separate country while the Ijaws, Ogoni, Ibibio, Efik and the rest will have no choice to continue with Nigeria

We are saying the same thing.
He claimed that Adaka Boro is a fool for attempting secession yet he
is supporting Kanu the fugitive.

Those calling Adaka a coward are silly. Know this if there was to be a coward, it would be Ojokwu who went on exile at the heat of war and NMK who exiled to Isreal at only a show of force. Adaka fought till the end, he was in the frontline of battle, not at a radio station or from an office.

Mikehot:

My dear, in the communities in the east the watchword has always been "EZIOKWU BU NDU" and that's why we have "Nze na Ozo" ndi n'ekwu EZIOKWU banyere the obula n'eme n'obodo.
We speak the truth regardless.
The Igbos share the blame on the recent happenings to.
This isn't to say the cashed the while stuff but they share blames too.

mrvitalis:
Its foolish after what Niger deltas did to igbos during the war they still have mouth to talk

Give ojukwu mandate through their reps ,go back n stabs us in the back ,took our properties

Yet when the whole country abandoned them na we stand by them ...yet all we get are insult n lack of trust

I grew up in port Harcourt ,stay in uyo ...my family have investment in bayelsa ...I know south south people ...especially ijaws ....they are intimidated by Igbo dominance

They fear merit competition would make them lose out to Igbo's ,...the only people in south south who do not fear Igbo's are the delta /Edo ...to some extent cross river

This groups have self believe

Today many ethnic groups stay n make money in rivers state but Igbo's have most investment here

Makinda made over 50 billion from pH ,show me is investment here

Apart from next oil ,show me any other Indigenous company building facility in rivers state thats owned by a none rivers man

Kilimanjaro ,genesis ,market square , everyday these are all Igbo men who made money in rivers state and invested back to the state ...can u say so of other tribes ? No
Yet we hate Niger delta

The Ijaw people are like cancer that eat up normal tissues around them.

The Ijaw people and others from the riverine areas of the state controlled eastern Nigerian civil service, education industry, and even commerce for years way before the average Igbo learned to read and write. There's no ministry of education that didn't have riverine headmasters and supervisors for a long time, before Igbos acquired same educational level to compete.

Unfortunately, for history revisionists and Yoruba propagandists bitter from carving midwestern out of western region, they would rehearse an old fable about how Igbos controlled everything. A bald faced lie!

He was killed by Nigerian army Yoruba commander who was afraid of his rising image! The same fate suffered by Ken Saro Wiwa who was hanged by his civil war buddy Sani Abacha!

Write what you may about Boro, he betrayed not just Igbos, but his own people (don't mind revisionist history), because he was a cowardly dog. And even his Nigerian benefactors knew that he was no good, and simply waited for an opportune moment to snuff him out!
And they did, and they always will!
Ask Clark, GEJ, Opigo, and others!
