Igbos should stop taking federal appointments. If possible Ndigbo should stop participating in Nigerian politics so that we cannot be blamed for leadership failures . If Igbos accepted my earlier advice around 2012 on using private trust funds to develop
Igboland we would have been like Dubai 11 years later this 2023. No time is late for a start but once Ndigbo detach themselves from politics and plot how to use commerce, industry and technology to rule the real economy of Africa then shall we actualize our potential. BTW my Ndigbo include all the Igbo speaking peoples including the ones in Rivers and Delta States. There are other highly educated and productive people in the South like Esan, Urhobo, Bini(Edo) that suffer same fate as Igbos that can as well boycot Nigerian politics and focus on self development.

I have been a member of this forum for a long time, before the heat of tribalism drove me out. I had to deactivate my account so to maintain my sanity. Been visiting once in a while to glance over news and current events. I have not overlooked the gross Igbophobia that has grown over leap and bound. The frenzy it's taking is just shot from an open attack. The amount of hate perpetuated by a political party, majorly from a particular region, before, on and after the election is alarming.
Having been on the sideline this long, I decided to create this account and talk to my people. Every Nwa afor should listen up. This is very important.

Don't take the Threats you Read Here for Granted: Before the election, I read several comments on how Igbos will be dealt with in the South West, albeit strategically, and stripped off of their capacity to chest beat, according to some. It is gradually taking place. Recent events in Lagos should clear your doubt. You were threatened that you will not be allowed to vote, and that really happened. Till date, no one has been prosecuted for illegally disfranchising so called citizens from their rights to vote.
Solution: if you are a residence or own a business in the South West, I wouldn't tell you enough what to do next. No real business entity survives a hostile environment. Things will get worse from here, it will definitely get worst, so think of the next alternative. Time to move back to the East. Time to move back to Igboland.

Pipe Low: [/b]Go and listen to Allen Onyema recent interview. Go to Charles Ogbu Timeline on Facebook and listen to that timely advice. When you are surrounded by haters, you become wiser. It is wisdom to maintain silence and observe. Metchiow onugi nwanne. You don't have to talk all the time. Some of us are braggarts and it's has a lot of negative fall back. You may feel the need to rob it on their face, but is that really necessary? Take a clue from the Japs, the Jews and recently the Arabs. We have a lot of potentials, and can do more, but lets learn how to keep calm.

[b]Stay Focus: Nigerian politics is toxic, but don't allow that to derail your focus. Your focus should be your state governor, house of rep members, senators, LGA chairman, even down to the councilor. Build yourself. Get better in your craft, business or whatever legit hustle you engage in. Whether Tinubu fails or succeed, that should be none of your business. Your focus should be how to gain every advantage to be better, make more money and give your kids the best of education. The future should tell more.

Let Nigerians do the Job: You see Tinibu government, allow Nigerians to rate him. Like I stated above, whether he succeeds or fails, shouldn't be your priority. The reason is because his tribe has singled you out as an opposition. They don't care whether we have very committed Igbos in APC, with two governors and numbers of senators, as long as you are Igbo, you are perceived as an enemy that must be dealt with. Nwanne, zere ishi gi. Take advantages of opportunities and grow your personal portfolio, that's what counts. leave the critism and scoring to Nigerians. Bupu ishi gi la nsogbu ndi Nigeria, whether good or bad. Stay on the sideline and observe.


Let's Develop Igboland: I will write extensively on this, but at the moment, take it as a task that you owe your future generation. Enough of the insults and taunts. We have been doing it, but this time, it is going to be a coordinated task which will focus on even development that should encompass social cultural development, political ideology, economy, education, etc. Take note, Igboland is not just the 5 Eastern States.

Embrace 21st Century Business Practices: I'm happy that a lot of us are really getting enthusiastic on the dynamics of digital mode of doing business. If you don't have an online presence, then you are missing out heavily on a huge market. I'm currently handling a project for a guy that relocated from Lagos to Port Harcourt. He is building his shop, majorly into sales of Building Materials. When I sold the idea of owning a website, the guy was elated and embraced the idea. He has been musing the idea but did not know how to go about it. If you own a business and don't have an online presence, please do it. Create your website, get a verified Facebook Page, Twitter Handle, and even a Youtube Channel. You will never regret this move. It is a global village right now.

Avoid Online Banters: Some of the posts and comments you read here are done on purpose to irk you and make you feel bad. But approach every conversation with a calm and civil trait. Do you know certain monikers here are on payroll just for that purpose? Yes, you read me right. Their job description is to antagonize you, abuse you and level up false allegations on you. That's what put food on their table. Would you blame them? The sole purpose is to brand you number one enemy of the state. Exactly what played out before the civil war. watch that video of that Itshekiri Grandma again, so you don't play into their traps.
Sometimes it is wisdom to ignore the fools, while sometimes you should engage them, correct perception, but if you must engage these paid trolls with demonic mindset, then do it intelligently and objectively.

Above all stay focused Don't listen to nay sayers. The East and Igboland is very productive and viable for your business investment. See how Ebonyi is beckoning for business investment. Whoever captures Ebonyi, has the whole of North Central to service. Ebonyi is a green land waiting to be explore. Don't believe fools who keep singing that the east is not viable for business. If Onistha, Nnewi and Aba can thrive without FG inputs, then any part of Igboland can also thrive, if given the proper attentino. We have what it takes to succeed. Ihe anhu unu mere la Lagos, bia meya na ali Igbo. Ta bu ugbua

Stop trying to please them. No mater what you do, they will never like you. Time to move back to the East. Don't allow history repeat itself on you. Chukwu gozie umu Igbo nile. Iseeeeeee!

You don't fill a bucket with water by taking water from it and pouring same water into it. Igbos moving their businesses to the East will never make them rich. We're rich because we pull reapurces from all over Nigeria and the world to the East and wherever we are!

Inspite of whatever hate they have we continue to prosper because God has prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies!

I completely agree that Ndigbo must rethink their relationship with Nigeria. And the Igbo must adopt a method of self-preservation by recognizing all that has happened to them in Nigeria in the course of their citizenship. Unfortunately, if recent history is anything to go by, the Igbo experience in Nigeria is likely to get worse before it gets better in the near future.

The idea that Igbo should withdraw from national engagement is inimical to their well-being as citizens of Nigeria, as long as Igbo is part of the Nigerian citizenry. Igbo interests must be represented at the center, albeit strategically, and by the right people. There is an urgent need for regional amalgamation. Ndigbo must define and form a regional coalition of the willing. And, "Aku luo uno" must not remain a slogan, but a commandment.

What this entails is the recognition and synergy of ideas and resources between and among the immediate southern neighbors who share the principles of the Igbo way of life, who are also marginalized, and who are ready and willing to form an economic bloc to positively extrapolate and exploit the opportunities available in Nigeria's economic value chain.

In conclusion, total disengagement is not in the corporate interest of Ndigbo, but to play politics on the periphery and actively plan and deploy to actively dominate the national micro-and macroeconomic space. Nigeria will eventually crawl to your feet sooner than later.

The Jews of Europe thought in this line of thought until Hitler gave them a never ending lesson of their life. Mind you, Hitler family physician was a German Jew. As in the doctor that took care of his mum until her death was a Jew, did he spare the Jews when he came to power?
Learn from smart investors. We are not saying you all should be based in the East, but strategically positioned yourself in the East, factories, head office etc, then invest in other friendly regions, i.e Africa, other than the region that has been singing it they don't want you. In fact they are about to start implementing policies that will see to legal confiscation of your properties. You don't need to let history repeat itself on you before you learn.
kam gwa gi, you can run your business right in your home front, while still maintaining a huge presence in the entire African market. it is possible. Think big nwanne.

How did Hitler end up? How are the jews today? If there's to be a war between the Jews and the Germans, who would win? Ofcourse the Jews would win. Hitler hated the Jews because he saw them as a superior race and he wanted Germans to be superior.

Igbos today are no different from the Jews, we will always end up victorious!
