Blindness

aroleodua:

even Nike with production factories all over the globe makes only 200,000 shoes daily.

omo you go fear lies!

no factories and less resources but these people still dey tell lies.

abagoro: Now what is the condition of the environment of the shoemakers? They don't look rich to me despite this staggering turn over.

GodMode:

I didn't write that they aren't made by aba people see what your tribalEAST mentality is doing to u...

Infact most shoe-makers in lagos are Hausas.

The point is: they are made in SW.

bossmini84: From last year statistics nike sold ova 100 million foot wears and wen u put into consideration that the cheapest of these shoes is over $20 that's around 4000 nike had a revenue of over $10 billion last year on foot wears. But u knw globalization most of their factory workers in chaina vietnam earn less than $400 a month. If the aba guys can increase their output and quality they have a potential 50 million customers in nigeria alone.
As for lagos it is the largest earner by a large margin. Take for instance the lekki toll gate generates 15 million naira per day take a look. http://www.punchng.com/feature/lcc-makes-n15m-a-day-on-lekki-toll-gate-investigation/
That is probably half of the tax revenue the aba market generates per day. The average biz office in VI pays over 500k per anum when on various govt task and I can tel u there are thousand of bussiness of the island. Let's put it at a paltry 5000 bizs u know how much that is the truth lagos is the most covered ur Gold mine in govt. I can tell you that only 1/3 of the revenue is reported.

Ikwokrikwo:
Can't you fools just talk about Aba and leave Lagos out of it?
You disgrace Igbos with this attitude. What is special about lagos that u must use it as your benchmark? let Aba be the best it can be.
fool

Guk:

Why do they have to give Lagos a run for her money? Is there a competition? Is there a prize to be won? There are loads of people who thrive in other towns in Nigeria with no tie or whatsoevr to Lagos. Let each location tap & maximise its own resources rather than creating imaginary competition.

100Cents: There was this imported leather slippas I bought, but it disappointed me as it didn't last.

When I was through with about 2 of those fancy kind of slippas which put together couldn't last.me up to 2 years, I opted for Aba made.

Since 2012, this is 2 and a half years, I still wear one of the Aba made Leather slippas of high grade leather and sole. Repairs have been light...

What a good good way to save money..

kettykin:

Thank you very much for the advice but if only you can keep that advice your self as your history suggest otherwise

ketoprofen:

Hausa made shoes are different from the ones that usually flood the mkt, which are Aba made.
Stop telling people that live in Lagos what is obtainable there.
Now, go and stand at Enugu Onitsha expressway and count the number of lorries that carry Aba made shoes and clothes to Lagos each day.

asha80: iwonbaoko pls explain how economic output in imo is higher than abia and can compete with lagos accoding to you

iwonbaoko:

Thanks but the report does not say what you claim it says
this is from PAGE 5

Approximate combined production of
footwear and leather goods is 75,000 pieces/day.

Ikwokrikwo:
You and the others who brought about the comparison with Lagos on this thread are fools, you make Igbos appear unnecessarily petty.
Very irritating attitude

iwonbaoko:
Someone already showed a list of states by GDP on this thread have a look at that or google it. In terms of competing with Lagos that is "potentially". Imo state has some oil and with the righ economic policies and governance it should "compete"

kettykin:
that was 2002 production figure before UN came with their funds and before the Aba cluster was built , fast word 12 years later with modern equipment , funds invested , more shoe clusters and apprentices,reinvigorated trade routes /methods , increase in the local and foreign economy , better manpower from abroad and more stable electricity , the trade figures would have grown more than 10 fold a

ISpiksDaTroof: One million pairs a day is obviously a gross exaggeration...but then again if the amount is not inflated then the news is not coming from the South East.

aroleodua:

even Nike with production factories all over the globe makes only 200,000 shoes daily.

omo you go fear lies!

no factories and less resources but these people still dey tell lies.

aroleodua:



ur aba sells more footwear than a nike with customers across the globe abi?

ibo man has never been good with numbers, he just pulls them out of his scrotum to massage his ego.

1million ko 10billion ni.

GodMode:

No state can compete with Lagos even with oil. Nigeria with all its oil is still a under-developed.

kettykin:
that list is very suspicious , as osun state was given a very higher GDP than Enugu , where as Enugu has a higher standard of living , higher production base , higher internally generated revenue , higher skilled manpower and higher human development index ,more industrial output and leverage , sho how will osun have a higher gdp than Enugu

asha80: iwobaoko there is far more economic activities in abia and anambra than imo oil or no oil.

rigarmortis:

well, you blame jona for everything, even the job allocated to minsters and others, you blame the fisherman, you blamed him for the negligence of a certain governor of borno state when he insisted that students write exams in a place hitherto marked as unsafe.....till they were "kidnapped".


you even blamed him the day you suffered from erectile dysfunction, you couldn't get it up and your wife was eager and waiting.......

so this must also be Jonas fault.

iwonbaoko: That is an opinion but the facts are there Imo has a greater GDP

NEXT!

iwonbaoko:
But you said you got your figures of 100000 shoemakers from a UNIDO report Now I am a bit confused because when I asked you to provide a source you provided this 2003 report. You really are beginning to look ridiculous. Can you share the UNIDO report where YOU CLAIMED you got that figure of 50000-100000 shoemakers from.

Since Ibo men arrived on earth since the dawn of Ibo civilization they were able to train 5000 shoemakers by 2003 and you are saying that 50000 master shoemakers have been trained with UN funds in 10 years? Ibo Kwenu!!!

Can you show evidence that the UN came with any funds to Aba
How much was this exactly
