Yaribas ancestors so dumb the couldn’t even invent food for their useless descendants yariba people with zero culture Ododowa fell down from sky in Mecca bla bla bla

Facts are stubborn There is NO historical book written in early 18th century that mentioned yariba (later before colonialist corrupted it to yoruba) recently their is a ghost dna 🧬 in yariba (oyo and parts of osun genetic makeup) Yariba as an identity started for ekiti, ogun start in 1905 via British indirect rule

Africans should dedicate a week to appreciating the contributions of Europeans to modern technology and infrastructure. From electricity and telecommunications to modern medicine, automobiles, aviation, industrial machinery, and many technologies we use today in Africa, much of the modern systems we rely on were developed through centuries of scientific and industrial advancement outside Africa. Thank you Caucasians 🙏

Let’s stop building mansions and start building industries. Can South-East leaders begin developing modern industrial estates with dedicated power plants, instead of allowing our capital to continue going into individual village mansions, land banking, nonprofitable hotels etc @PNMbah @alexottiofr @Hope_Uzodimma1 @markokoyeII Let’s create an Impact Investment Fund or IGWEBUIKE Investment Account and deliberately mobilise capital for industrial development. If one Igbo man cannot become Dangote, 30, 50, 100 or even 300 Igbo people can come together, contribute capital and build industries together. We already know how to mobilise money. We contribute through WhatsApp groups for burials. We mobilised resources for Imo Airport. We come together whenever there is a collective need. Now, let’s reciprocate that spirit in industrial development. Imagine thousands of Igbo investors contributing into a professionally managed investment fund that finances: Manufacturing factories Food-processing plants Pharmaceutical industries Building-material factories Palm-oil processing and refineries Industrial parks Power plants Technology and export-oriented businesses The goal should be simple: From consumption to production. From individual wealth to collective capital. From mansions to factories. From traders to industrialists. Igwebuike — strength in unity. Let’s build industries that will employ our people, produce for Nigeria and the world, and create wealth that can outlive us. @UchePOkoye @FinPlanKaluAja1 @winexviv @trigottista @HarmlessHQ

Yariba history started around 1866 There is no document written pre 1866 that mentioned yariba Yariba was corrupted to yoruba by the British before colonization and they unified different tribe to one yoruba identity for easy colonization Lagos awori and Eguns, ijebu, modakeke, ijesha, osun, ilaje was merged though they speak different languages Skull miners

The Niger Bridge was closed for repairs, but the alternative roads connecting the Second Niger Bridge to Onitsha through the industrial estate were not repaired to help relieve the traffic that the closure of the First Niger Bridge would cause. Why does our government intentionally make life difficult for citizens? Why can’t they repair the alternative road around the Second Niger Bridge, which is reportedly not more than 1 km long, to ease the suffering that the closure of the First Niger Bridge will cause? The government knew the bridge would be closed and should have prepared the alternative routes before the closure. This is basic infrastructure planning. A government with critical thinkers will know gridlock will occur Today is day 1 of the closure, we will expect to see the sufferings of the masses since the ring roads weren’t rebuilt before the bridge closure

Every day, we argue about Bonny, Opobo, ikwerre, Ekpeye but we can actually do something more constructive. We could produce a documentary based strictly on historical books and records written in the 17th and 18th centuries before Nigeria was created Also invite @AncestryDNA @FamilyTreeDNA to conduct genealogical and population-genetics research. DNA analysis will help address some of the identity questions that continue to divide us. Instead of arguing endlessly, why don’t we invest in historical research, archaeology, genealogy, and DNA science to establish the facts? Let the evidence speak for itself. @ifeora90

When can we organize our self and set up “IGWEBUIKE” Investment Forum should be chaired by respected Igbo leaders in business, banking, and industry, alongside international experts. Its primary objective would be to mobilize capital from Igbos across the world to finance large-scale industrial projects. For example, if a high-capacity PPR pipe factory costs about ₦20 billion, the IGWEBUIKE platform would allow Igbos to invest any amount and become shareholders in the company. If 200 investors each contribute ₦100 million, the ₦20 billion required would be raised, with every investor owning an equity stake in the factory. Imagine a city like Onitsha, which is claimed to account for about 30% of Nigeria’s container shipments, yet has no major formally registered company listed on the Nigerian Exchange. That says a lot about the structure of its economy and the missed opportunities for industrialization and corporate growth.

Individualism is holding the Igbo economy back. In Onitsha, by 1978, just eight years after the civil war, people had already started constructing three-storey buildings. 48 years later, we have barely attempted to build true skyscrapers. If many of our wealthy business owners had pooled their capital together in a joint venture to establish industries, they could have built conglomerates by now. The Onitsha Drug Market has produced numerous billionaires since the 1980s. Yet, decades later, many are still focused primarily on importing goods. Not one person has built a multinational pharmaceutical companies comparable to Emzor, Neimeth, Swiffa Igbos have been doing business in China for decades, yet we have hardly seen joint ventures with Chinese manufacturers to establish world-class factories back home. Imagine if more traders had embraced corporate structures, mergers, and large-scale industrial investment. By now, Onitsha and Aba could have been home to many multinational companies. Our government sef Dey dull. Build well-planned industrial estates with reliable power plants for cheap power

Soludo has fallen short of expectations. @CCSoludo There are so many things that should be happening in Anambra State. I expected the gov to establish a world-class agricultural research institute focused on preserving and improving our indigenous crops, many of which are gradually disappearing because of widespread deforestation. Recruit about five Malaysian scientists on 5-years contracts to work alongside local researchers. dozens of Nigerian scientists trained and develop improved hybrid varieties of our indigenous trees and crops. Malaysia and Indonesia built globally competitive palm oil industries using oil palm from Nigeria. They developed high-yield hybrid varieties that are now cultivated in Nigeria today We need more research on Oha and Udara.
