Think Igbo Movement - TIM

Greetings Ezigbo Nwannem,

Cha! cha! cha! Igbo kwenu...!

I gladly welcome you to this group: Think Igbo Movement (TIM)...

This group is created to encourage the common IGBO man to start bringing his investments home... "Ukwu Di Anyi Na Mba Adigh Anyi Zi Nma" (our involvements and investments in other people's lands are no longer favourable to us).

In the recent times, attacks and destruction of lives and property in the Northern and Western parts of Nigeria are directly or otherwise targeted at the Igbos and their investments...

Think back to the days of Fashola's government in Lagos, in the disguise of road expansion (which till date remains unexpanded), the shops and goods of Igbo men and women were destroyed and our brothers frustrated back home without compensation. Some were openly told and i quote: "if you don't like what we are doing, you can go back to your states..." This happened in so many parts of Lagos turning Igbos (in their thousands) to "okada" riders. People who were once "d**e ekulie" now turned into "e jikere utu, ogbenye e jikere ogu"...

If the taxes paid to the Lagos State Government by the Igbo dominated markets (eg. Alaba International Market, Mandelas, Trade Fair, Ladipo Market, Balogun Market, Oyinbo Market, etc) are paid to one of the state governments in Igboland, believe you me, Washington DC will be just a street in that state.

Most of us are boxed and tossed around like homeless madmen by landlords and landladies whose houses can only and best be likened to our kitchen lines in our villages...

Who is to be blamed?
The hosts...?
The gods...?
The government...?
No...!
We are to be blamed...

Let's think home...
