This thread is the clear the ignorance of most Yoruba populace who so much believe yorubas don't troop in their thousands to the east but before I continue, let me do a brief intro.

I have two degrees, one in pharmacy and I have been in pharmaceutical business for 7years now. Ask anybody in the business, they will tell you that the biggest pharmaceutical businesses are done mainly in Lagos, onitsha, aba and kano then you will include Jos, Ibadan, enugu, pH.

70% of pharmaceutical importing companies are own by yorubas (this is a known fact in the line). They import these products from India and Pakistan then move to aba and onitsha for distributors. You see lots of Yoruba's in teaching hospitals, drug market and big pharmacy shops in aba, enugu and onitsha as company reps and managers. On most occasions, the Ceo of these companies (who are Yoruba) will come down to east to strike deals with distributors (after Lagos, onitsha and aba have the highest number of distributor in the country).

You cannot do these business and make max profit without onitsha and aba and Yoruba's here know this. Onitsha serves as a wholesale point for anambra, enugu, delta, Edo, ebonyi, Benue and ondo (go to head bridge market and see teaching hospitals from ondo) while aba is a wholesale point for abia, rivers, bayelsa, IMO, akwa ibom, cross rivers. You will see Yoruba ceos begging for distributors.
This is just for my field, if we are to talk of other fields, you will be marvelled. I get to met lot of Yoruba managers and ceos in the east.

Please drop your ignorance.

don't mind Dem. We are the leeches nd they are d masters. I don't mind being called a leech if a still make my money at d end of d day.

idumota is an open market, they get the drugs from companies who are licensed to import.

Most pharmaceutical importing companies are own by Yoruba's. They don't like licensing Igbo's

good to see you coming down gradually with your bloated figure.

70 - 65%

I still maintain that yorubas have no such influence in pharmaceutical market in Nigeria

stop this argument, a pharmaceutical company can either have a manufacturing plant here in the country or send her specification to another manufacturer outside the country e.g greenlif and fidson. Lonart was not manufactured by green life but greenlife own the specifications, it was manufactured outside for green life. Same as amatem, its not been manufactured by Elbe pharma, instead the sent specifications to an India or China company (this is what I mean by importation). Its my field, you can't know mor than I do.

Yoruba's are more into importation of pharmaceutical products and they own more of the companies

stop the ignorance, stop chestbeating

everybody knows Igbos control the pharmaceutical industry in Nigeria.

there might be a few Igbo aligned Yorubas here and there who act as go betweens in the supply chain.

Importation, manufacturing, and distribution are all sectors of the industry. OP is only talking about one sector and you guys are conflating his statement.

Get a grip.

There is nothing that concern commerce in any industrial sectors in Nigeria that Igbos are not well represented. Op made a wrong exaggeration. 70% is way outrageous.

Even at that, 70% is preposterous. there are many Yoruba importers as much as Igbos in importation of pharmaceuticals

wrong exaggeration? Pharmaceutical importers is like a caucus of mostly Yorubas. They try as much as possible to exclude igbos . Igbo's do more of distribution and manufacturing.

Everything is always along tribal lines. Nigeria is finished.

Are you sure about that?
Can you name the importers and their popular brands?
Yorubas are also very well represented in manufacturing sector of pharmaceuticals.

Pls can we drop these Yoruba and Igbo thing..

I an tired already..

Can we make peace and show some love..

I am Igbo, but I think Yorubas are not that bad to be friends with..

Try one of them as friend, then you shall understand what I mean..

What will ur chestbeat all about?

I'm very sure of this.

Why then is people saying that Igbos sell fake drugs if the majority of the importers are Yorubas

There are many yorubas in Enugu city, some are into herbal tradomedicine, some into tailoring(mainly for female dresses).

Maybe op is referring to those into importation of herbal pharmaceutical products aka Agbo.
