I bought a few bars of MARS and BOUNTY Chocolates earlier today and it got me thinking.

South western Nigeria has been a major hub for Cocoa production for over half a century now; how come business folks from that region are unable to push forward a major Nigerian Chocolate brand that can even be exported?

If Cocoa was this rampant in the South-East for example,would the story be the same? Considering the fact that being a Palm Oil region,the SE can boast of several cosmetics & soap making factories.

What do u guys think?

PS: This is not meant to herald a Yoruba vs Igbo E-war.

It is because the North prefers to tie down the South with unfavourable policies sir. It is time to fly the SOUTH NIGERIA flag if we want to experience real development.
