Food hoarding or gouging in the North will only affect a lazy South

In Igboland this will be the proceedings of events:

At first we import as a stop gap (so we do not die before we start the new green revolution)
Then we follow up with massive food production using available land in Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia
We augment field crop production with modern technology
Less extensive but more intensive production
We use biotechnology and nanotechnology to improve yield
We use landless farming to supplement the shortfall in land from Imo and Anambra.
We import tse-tse fly resistant cattle and produce our own beef

What would we need the North for in the long run?

Oh that's Awesome

What's the total population of Igbo residing in SE?

The only thing that gives food security to the east is the availability of many food market around. Cameron isn't so far away,

Wait a minute. Is their tribalism section here? Lol

There's no shortage of land in Anambra and Imo. I also don't think this is the time to be theorizing. If you're Igbo, you should just do it. Most regions in Nigeria feed themselves. Most of what you eat in the SW is grown there, most of what you eat in the east is grown there. Especially rural people.
