Just wait

I don see medicine for accommodating cannibals

The tribalism of The two guys above me stinks

How many monikers do you intend to use today?

It be like the yesterday matter really affected your psyche

The reverse is not the case.

North hold key offices within the government
East hold the country commerce and industry
West and Mid-West hold the country economy.

it was a setup to drag east backward by pushing biafara narrative

I beg to disagree, the economy was in the hands of foreigners until after the indigenisation decree of 1972 that was used to turn ownership and control of most companies to south west and northern Nigerians .

Eastern Nigeria wasn’t just ahead of the other regions; it was on par with parts of the developing world. That’s a fact, not nostalgia. The question now is: how does the East reclaim that dominance and sur it?

The answer isn’t sentiment. The East must pilot itself into controlling at least 40% of Nigeria’s manpower and economy. This isn’t optional; it’s survival.

Forget waiting for policies or handouts. Prioritize total control of trade networks, technological dominance, and an unshakable grip on education and skills development. It means turning every Igbo-dominated market into a launchpad for capital accumulation, innovation hubs springing up like wildfire, and ensuring Easterners are indispensable in every critical sector—finance, energy, tech, agriculture, logistics, and beyond.

There’s no room for half-measures. The East must operate like a machine—relentless, self-sustaining, and impossible to ignore. The goal isn’t just catching up; it’s making the competition irrelevant.

Incoherent gibberish as usual ... spit

Tell that to those who defend why Ibadan has the most dilapidated houses and rusty brown roofs in Nigeria

Notice that Lagos was separated from the West as at 1965!

Even if you add Lagos to the West the numbers still favours the East according to that chart

I know. My point is the Westerners claiming they built Lagos are jokers. Lagos colony was always independent

This is why history is good

I want children of the bridge and corn like helinues to know where Nigeria is coming from

Thier environment have bastardized education for them to think upside down

You are getting it wrong
Western Nigeria originally consists of lagos, mid west and the western region

Western Nigeria was spitted into three region, unlike the east that was intact

The western Nigeria you are seeing on that chart consists of just five predominantly Yoruba state while eastern Nigeria consists of nine state which also include state owned by the Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio etc.

If western Nigeria was not splitted, it would have consists of eight state in which it figure would have sures that of the east.

Don’t be like helinues

For the fact that Lagos shares a boundary with the west does not make it so , I wish the screenshot I ed will tell you so

I don't even know who helinues is

Some part of lagos like ikorodu, epe, ikeja and badagry was part of the old western region. Google is your friend

Why can't Nigerians agree that every ethnic group is unique in its own ways?

Each ethnic group has its glories and follies. Its beautiful faces and dark underbellies...

Each ethnic group has its achievements and less than stellar moments.

Nigerians need to rise above ethnic racism or else, the politicians will continue to get away with wasting the commonwealth of the masses who bicker over mundane issues.

Education isnt just about schools

Ojukwu was the son of the richest Igbo man with very good education yet he wasn't smart enough to study law and end up switching to a more easy course - history while Gowon was a Sandhurst military graduate.

Chinua Achebe was highly educated but failed his doctorate exams and ended up switching to english, Wole Soyinka on the other hand went to university specifically to study English literature and not as a second choice.

The only educated prominent Igbo man was Nnamdi Azikiwe and he schooled in Lagos.

The simple truth is that the vast majority of Doctors and Engineers were Yorubas, Igbos tended to go for more easier jobs.

Yorubas were more sophisticated even back then.

Thank God we still have people like this.
So Apt!

Yorubas are noise makers...the Internet has demystified them all.

But the figures are saying otherwise. The report showed the eastern Region produced a massive 40% of both primary and secondary school
enrollment in the whole of Nigeria. Should we disbelieve the reports and believe your post. I still don't understand why Nigerians don't work with verifiable facts. What you just posted about Azikiwe ,simply put is that even the 129 primary school enrollment figures ascribed to Lagos had Igbo components and Azikiwe might have been part of the 9338 secondary school students.

Meanwhile, the propaganda has it that the West has seen education first many years while my forefathers were still learning about civilization

For a very long time, Yoruba have told a history of themselves that's completely based in lies. I would not have a problem with it if they didn't also accompany the lies with defamation of other regions and ethnic groups.

But if you follow all Yoruba lies about themselves, you will see why anything Igbo stresses them. If Igbos did not exist, Yoruba would be who they want everyone to believe they are.

Do not forget that a large percentage of that 'midwest' is also Igbo.

Commerce and industry is the economy

I see it now. The chart is quite misleading.

Great defence but you should allow that Obidient to wallow in their imbecility.

Those days are gone as Lagos afrobeats and pleasures have entered their body…. Unless separation it will be worse…

I like this post except from making competition irrelevant. If this is your goal you will fail before you start.
