where will other tribes get their consignments since it's only Igbos that are into importation sadly enough local manufacturers have packed up

Aigbofa:


Expansionism itself connotes the existence of an economic base, and where would that be for the ibos if all your investments are not in iboland? Where are you expanding to?

sukkottt:
nah bro we had more powerful people before awolowo. we had madam tinubu and oba kosoko and oba akitoye and lamurudu

RockHard:


This has to be the silliest horse manure i have heard in a long while. Igbos aren't the ONLY ones into importation. And even if they are, na from heaven or space their imports dey come from?? How difficult is it to go to china and import container?? Guy abeg go rest.

Lagos was made capital because of its favourable location on the sea. It's West Africa's most natural harbour. Google is your friend bro! Stop all this your chest beating, it's no use!

So why did you lose the capital city status to Abuja? I guess your people suddenly became dumb asses, abi?
Nigeria is really divided with our youths chasing shadows! I am sure Nigeria would have benefited greatly if you and I came together to establish a venture as profitable and competitive as multichoise or alibaba for instance notwithstanding that I am Igbo and you Yoruba. It's high time we Nigerian youths started directing our energies to worthwhile things instead of making a mockery of our nationhood here on Nairaland and other social media! At this rate, we will never catch up with the likes of south Africa not to talk of China and Europe! I have said my own sha. One love!

The last time Nigeria broke up, the ibos were the one crying about starvation and dieing of kwarshiorkor.

Rapmoney:
That's the problem with most of you. You sit your lazy ass down there without lifting even a pin, yet you criticize people who import most of the stuffs you consume...you even consume most of the things they manufacture.

codemaniacs:


Unfortunately, the colonialists makes everyone believe life is a competition.

I can almost bet you are a trader going by the way you reason. For your info, not all of us fancy being traders in life -- some of us are just more ambitious and aim higher in life I guess undecided. So the fact that you would attribute not being an importer as laziness speaks volumes about your ignorance and twisted orientation. For the last time, being an importer isn't rocket science, neither does it require any special skill, and secondly Igbos aren't the only ones into importation. Get that into your medula oblongata. Geez! You folks seem to have serious comprehension issues.

I hope whoever he was trying to impress are impressed.

RockHard:
Oshoko is being contradictory here. No other ethnicity stands to lose more than the SEasterners if Nigeria divides because their survival as a people is intricately linked to the rest of Nigeria than any other group. Not only do they depend on other regions for imports, the fact that they are mostly traders and migrants is actually a pointer to their vulnerability than strenght as they need a large enough market to thrive and be successful. Oshokomole must have been overly excited and high when he made that exaggerated statement.

Ahmadgani:
I agree with him to some extent but his judgement are based on prejudice. Igbos are industrious and there is no doubt about that, despite the fact that a few of them ate getting hanged in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

But fayose like the igbos because they like him. so his statement is sentimental

mightyhazel:
lol! Wot shd I be careful about dude?






Ofcourse drugs kills,...








Guns kill too







Heck,even stones kill too



Its all abt free will/usage.

Drugs and guns aint forced on any1
I'd rather live wit som1 dat sells dese 2 than som1 dat does rituals and straps a lot of bombs.





By the way,..I hate the trio,..but I cud live with a gun runner or drug peddler,..had 2 break it down like ds cos it seems u lack assimilation.

sukkottt:
Lagos is not the only state with proximity to the atlantic. so why Lagos out of all these states ?

linearity:


Coming from Europe, Lagos was the close port of entry into Nigeria from the Atlantic.

o, it was more advantageous to be chosen by our colonial masters as their capital. And as such, was one of the first territories to be seized by the British in 1887, the British then made it their headquarters and started the development. They didn't seize it or landed there because of the wisdom or abitilies of the people living there at that time, the contrary is the truth, the Bristish saw a good closer port of entry and seized it inspite of the objections and resistance of the locals.

Most of all these is documented history.

OJUcrook:
The ibo man has an emotion of a water paper. I wrote it somewhere, if Fayose contest an election against Okorocha today, the ibos will vote for Fayose instead of Okorocha

sukkottt:
very myopic. before colonialism lagos was developed with slavery money by oba kosoko and madam tinubu and oba akitoye. lagos was somewhat developed before colonialism by the white man. they came to lagos and found a very favorable environment to operate because it had been developed is why they decided to choose to stay.
