I said Nigeria hasn't understood it. We are yet to attain self sufficiency in the production of such, battery is not like rice, mistakes can have consequences.

What concerns curtex and your point which says igbos dominate wire manufacturing. Is it the same thing?

With this kind of your thinking that to you your lies must be accepted by others even when its not correct, and unacceptable. Be rest assured that you will cause war in Igbo land because of that attitude if Biafra ever comes.

How u go just dae lie for public forum like this, I no be Afonja or Ab0ki na wetin make e dae vex me more, no go give people false hope
Curtex is an Igbo company ...the company is the largest wire company in Nigeria ...their are other Igbo wire companies and they have more than enough capacity to meet the nigerian wire market Curtex export wires from Nigeria

Nigeria export battery and yet u think u don't have the capacity ...Igbo's understand many manufacturing industry and can meet Nigerian demand if supported

Asking for Biafra is not a request for war ...we are asking for peaceful disintegration ....we want to control our destiny ,we want a country where merit would be supreme ,not have a chief judge who can't explain technicality

We want a school system where merit is supreme

We want a just justice system so that people like hope won't have anything to do we governorship

We want to govern ourselves is that too much to ask ....where have Igbo said we would be enemies with our neighbors if we get Biafra

Nothing can be worst than Nigeria ...nothing

Everytime I'm at MMA, before I can even make it to my vehicle, I've already dashed out 10k to people approaching me. N none of them are of igbo ethnicity

MEET FIRST NIGERIAN BILLIONAIRE WHO WAS WORTH OVER $4 BILLION IN 1950s

Not many people knew about Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, but a greater number of people knew his son, Late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu .

Sir Louis odumegwu ojukwu , the first-ever recorded Nigerian Billionaire. He was considered the wealthiest person in Nigeria and Africa as at that time. His Net-Worth calculated to be Over 4 billion dollars as of 1950s.

He was the founder of ojukwu Transport, Ojukwu stores, and Ojukwu Textiles. He was the first and founding president and of the Nigerian Stock exchange Market. He was also the chairman of the board of many profitable companies in Nigeria then such as shell oil company, Guinness Nigeria limited.

He started his professional career at the agricultural department before leaving to join John Holt as a Tyre sales clerk before diversifying into the textile and transport sector exhibiting the entrepreneurial spirit of the South East.

He was also reportedly the first Nigerian Billionaire man to own a Mercedes Benz in all of Nigeria then. Starting as a low-level employee to a billionaire shows that hard work, focus and determination pay off. It was also reported that his rolls Royce was used to carry the queen of England on her first visit to Nigeria, he was the only African man that own a limousine.

The record of his Net-Worth at a time was not able to be calculated, becasue he was into real estate and owns up to 70% of landed properties in Lagos.

Dude, fuc/k off from this thread together with your cosseted, over-pampered ass! I know your type quite well: most likely the spawn of a quota-system enabled politician or gov’t contractor that owes his existence to ‘one Nigeria’ and its warped political-economy! Is it any wonder you travel aimlessly all over the globe, clocking up air miles like a philanderer has notches on his bed-post for all his conquests in bed! Your vociferous support for the status-quo now makes sense!

Which one is personnal achievements would always matter more to us.

Speak for yourself not for the igbo race, or for us who have intentions of leading our people in the right paths.

Its people like you with your personal achievement mantra that will be the only rich man in poor village and you see nothing wrong with it.

Me as an igbo man and a one day igbo leader with intention to sanitize the image of ohaneze the fact that igbo youths are leaving igbo land indroves for a better life in wherever outside igbo every now and then pains me, but to you its a good thing. I see nothing wrong with migration but I see everything wrong with mass migration.

Majority of igbo population is in diaspora, that's very wrong to me, most have lost there igboness, they have forgotten who they are.

Saying igbos are individualsistic is very wrong we are our brothers keepers. I can't be the only rich man in a community and be happy


Point taken. But nobody has time to waste waiting on Nigeria to get right. Life is about survival

Don't forget there are two types; those that said F Nigeria n not looking back, and those that have ongoing investments n still come back for occasions n holidays. I'm in the latter category.

My biggest regret is how much money I pured into Abuja. But I've learned from that mistake. My newest investments have been Akwa, Asaba, n Owerri

See flat head oo lol.. Everyone knows Dantata ruled the 40s and 50s, but anybody is free to write any trash without source to boost low self esteem


the dull O.P silently disregard this part of the article he posted

" Regarded as the richest man in the British West African colonies, in 1929, Dantata deposited 20-camel-loads of silver coins in the newly opened Kano branch of Bank of West Africa "

these is the full article and Dantata was clearly called the richest, dishonest people cant even post the real article, this is why we don't trust them with our Aso Rock
