THE CLAIMED BY THE IGBO'S THAT THEY HAVE INVESTED WELL OVER 44trillions OF NAIRA IN THE NORTH

1. As being their reasons not to go! Really in the first instance who forced it on them, or called them by whatever disguise and ask them to secedes? Talk less of giving them any ultimatum! before the June 6th, Kaduna 2017 declaration? They that knew their investment and if really in means anything to them, are they not the one to do everything to safeguard and protect such investments?

2. Let them also note that their investment in the North when compared  with what the North have contributed to their very livelihood and wellbeing in the last 5 decades is nothing to write home about! If one take into account the amount of food stuffs, goods and other raw materials that leaves the North to their regions in these years under considerations (between; Cows, Sheeps, Goats, Donkeys, Horses, Fishes, Beans, Rice, Maize, Millets, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, Ginger, Leathers, Sorghums, other Raw Materials for their industries) on a study tour by a research consultants and a lecture series by Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN, Lagos State Governor in 2012, which indicates that; food stuffs, goods and raw materials worth over 2 trillions leaves the North to Southern part of Nigeria on monthly basis, and indeed more than half of which is being used by the Igbo's or their companies! Therefore if one calculate from the data above the amount in trillions of Naira that the Northern part of Nigeria is Contributing to the well being and survival of fellow Nigerians of Southern extraction (just for the period of our Independence under review), one can see that in the last 56years the North contributed up to 2 trillion x 12months x 56years = 2 trillions x 672months = 1,344trillions or 1.344 quartrillion. Or to say if you divide the 1,344 trillions by their 44 trillions investment is just less than one to thirty of the contribution of the North to them and the entire Southern part of Nigeria. And this ensured their survival and well being! Is not about; spare parts, tee shirts, shoes, bags, some of which can even be found in Kano etc. But in our own case we are talking of their very essence of livelihood and survival, that they can live without! Or at best they know better what hunger portents! This is particularly very fresh with their elders that saw it all during the Civil War, which unfortunately they are the caused! Or are the ones that raised their swords and weapons against fellow Nigerians!

3. They told us their total investment in the North, so please can they also tell us what they are making from such investment from the North that kept them alive and prosperous more than anything they can claimed to gain anywhere world over!? From the 3 scenarios above it shows that if they are sensible enough, they even supposed to worship the North! as they are used to worshipping money and property! Arise and think more than twice! Don't play with your future! And don't bite the fingers that used to fed you! my dear greedy ingrates Biafrans. Enough supposed to be enough!
