That Imo has the largest gas in west Africa is an inroad claim of Imo states as theirs. Anambra also has large amounts of oil. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Is it right for me to remind all the Igbos that have been lamenting on social media that sea port will soon be commission and there is an urgent need for the Igbos to head to SE. Most igbos had argued that once they get internatioal airport and seaport, they are ready to leave lagos and SW. Are they willing to go back home or any new excuses?

[@LabaraNdonia]

And you are who again, sir? What happens if they do not comply to your directive? At this rate you will soon exhaust yourself and your income posting this twaddle across social media platforms. Talk of a man fighting a lost cause. Ever heard of Don Quixote?

[@adekunleyussuf4259]

​@user-zx9vk4ks6z Igbo people bragging about leaving Lagos and Southwest once they have built the international airport and seaport is a joke. Yorubas took it seriously, and we are all going to remind you to start leaving as soon as the seaport is finally commissioning or when your Biafra Republic is declared in December 2024. Time is ticking..

[@onyiionwurah5475]

South East governors we are waiting for the results of our economic summit you guys held we must see something happening NOW 👀

[@LabaraNdonia]

Good question. The problem is Gov Otti and to some extent Gov Mbah are the only sensible of the SE governors. Soludo should know better, but he is a complete disaster by the looks of it. given what happened to Ibo assets before, at least, what Ibos should do with Port Harcourt should be a subject for discussion to gather opinions and chart the way forward. Right now, there is no guidance on the subject both theoretical and otherwise. As a result, Ibo business people are forced to make their own individual decisions and it is left for platforms like this to discuss the risks. It seems clear from the comments that Ibos need to return to Port Harcourt and use its port as was intended by the founders. At the same time Ibos must invest with caution given the antecedents. In other words while Ibo businesses should use Port Harcourt, effort should be intensified to create the Azumini Port Complex as backup/replacement. Sadly economic thinking among Ibos is at its lowest ebb since the demise of Pius Okigbo and a few others. Even Jaja of Opobo was more knowledgeable about economics than our present leaders. For example, when Jaja sensed that European trade was shifting from slaves to commodities, he quickly left Bonny, the old slave port and founded Opobo on the mouth of Imo River to control trade with the Ibo interior in the 1860s. Very clever! Today, the focus of trade is moving from Lagos which is liked to Europe, the old imperial centre to West/central Africa which should be linked to Port Harcourt /Azumini and Asia, the future economic, military and political powerhouse. But our SE governors do not see this trend and they fail to capitalize on the desire of Ibos to leave Lagos after the demolition of their properties to facilitate this eastward shift. Thus instead of a concerted effort to develop the Azumini Port Complex, they are building conference centres. * I hear they have stopped teaching history in Nigeria, does that include economic history too?

The problem is the Rivers Igbos or Ikwerre as they are known actually don’t see themselves as Igbos and infact hate Igbos, would have been better he built it in Abia state specifically! So the excitement should be muted

[@LabaraNdonia]

1. I thought Gov Alex Otti said he was building a seaport in Azumini area. What happened to that? It seems that he has now been distracted by the usual culprits and instead of continuing the seaport idea, he is now purportedly building yet another airport when his state is surrounded by airports. 2. Port Harcourt was created from scratch by the British to perform the same role as Lagos in the west. What happened during the war and after was a blatant violation of Ibo rights which went unchallenged. Today Ibos should revamp and use the port but install legal-rational and physical safeguards to protect their assets regardless of whether Ikwerres are Ibos or not.

[@longinusukenta]

Why, you don't want to build business in Rivers state because Ikwerre say that they are not Igbo. Are you kidding? Do you know how many Igbo owned businesses in Rivers state? Do you know that all of Azudialu Obiejesi business is located in Rivers state? All of Uche Ogah oil companies are located in Rivers state. Some of you igbotic people should just keep quiet if you don't have nothing to say.

[@longinusukenta]

@@marandymbamara9099 Ikwerre people could care less what think about them. The shocking thing about some of you igbotic guys is that you didn't know that there are thousands of Igbo businesses in Rivers state.

[@LabaraNdonia]

@@marandymbamara9099 Yes there are some Ikwerre who claim they are not Ibo but equally there are even more Ikwerre who claim to be Ibo. Prime examples are Nyesom Wike and Chibuike Amaechi, both former governors. The problem is Ibos in social media have focused on a minority of noise makers for entertainment and ignore/or distort the big picture. Behind the deafening noise Ibo businesses are thriving in Ikwerre land which is itself integrally linked to Ibo mainland by road, air and rail. What Ibos need to do is to create legal-rational and physical safeguards to protect their businesses regardless of whether Ikwerres are Ibos or not.

[@LabaraNdonia]

So what happened to the supposed Ibeto takeover of Nkalagu Cement factory built by the eastern regional government? I thought he was going to revamp it and resume the manufacture of cement there, yes or no?

[@IGBOAREATV]

They're trying to frustrate him. I heard some people including Anyim Pius suddenly appeared to demand shares.

[@LabaraNdonia]

@@IGBOAREATV You have raised an interesting point well beyond the scope of this podcast. In my view Ibeto Group has reached a state where it should be floated as a public company with him holding majority shares. Same as Innoson, Air Peace etc. in order to move away from the sole trader model, divorce ownership from control and ensure the long-term survivability of Ibo businesses. Failure to do this has resulted in the death of big Ibo brands with their owners e.g. Ekene Dili Chukwu, Bolingo Hotels etc. So if creating a company and selling shares to the likes of Anyim is not a bad idea to raise capital to revamp the company. *BTW Incidentally, this is why many people are totally disappointed with Soludo and his lacklustre regime in Anambra State. Instead of expanding promoting Onitsha Stock Exchange to bring Ibo businesses in line with 21st century realities, he is building "fun city"!

[@longinusukenta]

​@IGBOAREATV Obasanjo frustrated Ibeto, but he sued the federal government and WON. The problem with Ibeto is not the government, but himself. He was simply outclassed by Dangute. Dangute used internationally recognized professional managers to grow his business, while Ibeto did not.

Whether the cement is produced in Nigeria or outside Nigeria, since Ibeto was able to crash the cost/price of cement is the issue. Are you happy paying #10,000.00 for a bag of cement that Ibeto was selling for #3000.00? Remember those laws were put in place to favour a certain person or group as revealed by the House of Representatives on 17/7/2024. This same man was invited to appear before the Hose of Rep. to explain why the cost of cement is high, when he has monopoly of the product, Tax Incentives, Customs Benefits, and so on, as listed by the House of Rep., but this dealer never showed up. He is making huge profit at the expense of the poor masses. Mr. Steven Williams, is that good?

Same way Gen Ironsi was pilloried for appointing Ibo advisers in the 1960s but today you lot are silent as the Nigerian state becomes a Fulani and now Yoruba family business.
