India does not have a larger consumer market than the US despite their population.

Even for food consumption the US tops the charts worldwide.

For your mind. lol. Below is the list of major Nigerian imports and their worth -- before some people come and claim that their substandard imported merchandise constitute the bulk of the revenues generated via SW ports. The S.E doesn't even have the largest consumer markets with the biggest purchasing power in the country (that title goes to the SW, the SS, and the North). Clowns.

Refined petroleum- 15% ($7.83-billion)
Cars- 3.4% ($1.75-billion)
Wheat - 2.8% ($1.46-billion)
Packaged medicaments - 1.4% ($752-million)
Rice - 1.4% ($706-million)
Concentrated Milk - 1.3% ($679-million)
Raw Sugar - 1.3% ($668-million)
Malt extract- 0.84% ($441-million)

No! I am talking of Yoruba businessmen not ibo drug dealers. Last year, your brothers dared us to list the industries we have and he was embarrased when we did so. You don't import more goods than Yorubas.

Say no to restructuring.
Even if we restructure, it won't stop the hate we have for each other. Nigeria experienced ethnic tensions when we had regional government. If Awolowo, Azikwe, Ahmadu Bello were alive today, they won't advise us to restructure but split.
Yorubas and Ashantis or Zulus don't fight like the way Yorubas and Igbos/Hausas do. This is because we don't share same country with them. When Yorubas, Igbos, and Hausas finally separate, we won't know we once shared same country. Everyone will mind their business.
Why should I go through all the stress because I want restructuring when I can use it to split the country?
Yorubas, Hausas, and Igbos don't need one another to survive. We can only trade with each other like Europeans and Asians do.

BiafraIShere:
In trying to disprove the person you quoted, you ended up validating him more. Aside petroleum products that are relatively evenly spread (though with Igbos having an upper hand), the other items on the list are largely imported by Igbos, namely; Cars, now under cars, motorcycles forms the bulk of the sector and Igbos control the importation of bikes with its base in Nigeria at Nnewi. Same goes to Wheat and Rice imports that is mainly imported by Igbos. Aside raw sugar and malt extracts that are mainly imported by breweries and bottling plants, packaged medications and concentrated milk are also largely imported by Igbos. Mind you that all the aforementioned items on the data you presented is less than 30% of total imports which does not include several others like clothings, machinery, household consumer goods, electronics etc. Also note that most distributors or suppliers of imported goods source their goods from Onitsha, Aba, Nnewi, and Lagos (it is also important to factor in that even in Lagos, the markets where they are gotten are virtually controlled by Igbos too, namely Alaba, Ladipo, ASPAMDA etc).
It may sound boastful to say that Igbos are the lifewire of Nigeria but that's just the reality, its even not limited to Nigeria alone as Igbos are now found in virtually almost all the major markets across SSA and the locals usually find it very difficult to compete with them simply because Igbos have a very large network which makes it possible for them to sell with very low margins and yet still make profit.

Skull mining is never importation.

Yoruba imports more, yet 60% of the cargoes are offloaded at Onitsha, not to talk of those offloaded at Aba.

Which school did you graduated from self?

Remove foreign companies and Igbo owned companies in SW and you won't believe what you will see. (Fact)

List 50 yoruba owned companies in SW and I will list 50 Igbo owned companies in Lagos alone, then another 50 in SE, 10 in the North and 5 in PH.

We are still saying the same thing. Everything you calculated just amounted to 34.6% of our total imports, what about the other 65.4%? Ndi Igbo controls those.

Even at that, Ndi Igbo are still into heavy importation of those 34.6% you mentioned.

Ndi Igbo are Nigeria's largest importer of Kerosene, Anambra is the largest importer of packaged medicaments.

Ndi Igbo runs this economy (Kiss da Truth)

Where is the proof that 60 percent of good are offloaded in Onitsha?
As for the 50 companies, open a thread for that and Yorubas will be there to answer you. You will be shocked we have more companies than flat-heads in the North and South-South

You forgot Edo and most importantly, North and Niger Republic.

Go to Milverton Aba by 3 Pm today or Osha in Onitsha by the same time. You will faint.

Interesting that Benin City ranks 7 in Nigeria in market size. Aside others in Nigeria, It is one of only few other non- national capital cities in top 35 alongside Douala, Kumasi, Marrakesh, etc.

Sorry, Enugu is a world class city named in the top 100 most resilient cities in the world.

The city was appointed the same date London, Barcelona, Paris, Athens made the list.

It was named the most Serene Place to raise a kid in Nigeria while Lagos was named as the Mega City of Slum.

Ndi Igbo are not Yoruba moslems. In spite of all Buhari's promises and the dangling of 2023 presidency, they still remained resloute to #Back2DauraMovement.

But with a meaningless Post Humous Award, Ndi Yoruba reversed back to Buhari arse, licking clean all the unlickables. (SMH 50 times).

[s]lol...Typical Ojuku loser.Nnamdi Azikiwe,the first graduate amongst the Igbos in 1930+ also deluded himself and his people that they had many educated people while the truth was he was the only and first Igbo graduate by which time Yorubas had produced doctors,lawyers,engineers etc while he was Igboland very 1st graduate
Ojuku too deluded himself and the gullible Igbos that he had the best army in Africa even with his sticks wielding and patch patch deadbeat old world war weapons gifted them by France.
It is not a surprise to see another Ojuku saying that they have even half of the businesses owned by the hardworking Yorubas.Even the world knows you do not come close to the Yorubas in businesses home and abroad and the Igbo' empty,steal urhobo and other people's businesses' thread ........ https://www.nairaland.com/3926379/igbos-most-industrious-innovative-richest/3
is an attestation of the ingenuity and versatile nature of the Yorubas.

janellemonae:
All these arguments over imports. It's like some of you didnt go to school. IMPORTS DONT GROW AN ECONOMY. It DESTROYS IT.

Nothing ends up in the country's accounts because you are demanding another countries currency, and buying it with your money, thereby weakening yours. Tariffs are meant to curb imports. It's not recognizable nor viable income that grows an economy. The losses made on importing 1 good far outweighs the 10%tarriff you collected on that good. Please stop disgracing yourselves.

An economy's viability is measured by its production, its GDP, exports and maintaining a low trade deficit with other countries. Nigerias economy is bad because we have a trade deficit, a terrible balance of trade (where imports are more than exports). No1 trait of bad economies.

List manufacturing Yoruba owns not those lies on those threads we know you guys are really good with Oluwale, list it here let us compare with Igbos firms
