The Reason Why The Igbos Are The Most Industrious And Richest In Nigeria!! by Mhizzyhub: 1:01pm On May 14, 2020
people are the most industrious tribe in the country. Due to their hard work and tenacity, these folks have consistently produced billionaires and multimillionaires.

Here is a little story about the Igbos.

In the 60's, The Igbos were the most successful people in Nigeria. Some of them were occupying top governmental positions and we're making billion-dollar desicions for the nation.

However, due to the misdeeds of their leaders and leaders from other major tribes, they had a dispute which resulted into the bloody civil war that claimed the lives of approximately two million Igbos (mainly women and children).

After that war, which lasted for about two years or more, the Igbos became as broke as beggars.

That was also during the time of oil boom, The rich and wealthy people were investing in oil but most Igbos couldn't because they had no money. � �

Igbos then we're rarely found in top positions either in oil, business or politics. They were grossly marginalized, unfortunately even till this day.

But one shocking things about the Igbos were they never gave up. They had this top notch survival instincts and refused to be trampled upon.��

They used the only tool they knew and did better than most tribes to bounce back better and stronger - Business. I'd like to refer to it as "Their supposed last card".�

They were very successful in the sector and their impact could be felt around the four corners of the globe.�

Yes, No Igbo man can be said to be the richest presently in Nigeria or Africa, But Igbos as a tribe could be the richest not just in Nigeria but in Africa.

The Igbos travel to places and make it home, even more than they expected to the astonishment of the locals. In all, their seriousness in business and the amount of patience they have when it comes to making money is fascinating. The likes of Tony Elumelu, Arthur Eze, Cletus M ibeto, Benedict Peter's, Peter Obi, Orji uzor kalu etc are all forces to be reckoned with in the world of business, oil and politics.

My bench line is - The Igbos are the richest in Nigeria, imagine if you are the richest in a presumed poor country/continent. This only shows that we still have so much more to do.

Igbo kwenu!!! ���

But at least they have the zeal to make it. Those ones who resort to crimes are overzealous.
