Now I'm convinced that you are even a mental case. If you use Igbo and hand-out in one language, you are beyond redemption.

For your information, most of us here talking to you guys are actually talking to the members of the international community who frequent this site to form opinion about Nigeria and Nigerians. By now, they know who has been drawing the country back and who it the parasite. One day, they will sit in judgment over our request for secession.

If Israel was defeated in 1948, you will not a have an Israeli made CPU today in your computer because the last time I checked, no Arab nation made one.

How did I look at it from a Tribal angle? Between, Nigeria and China, who got more comparative advantage in terms of cost of manufacturing? Why do you think spending millions in the process of importing and on the products themselves makes more sense than just doing it in Nigeria? Your Dapo knows nothing. You don't just need theoretical knowledge to understand what I am saying. You need practical knowledge. [/

Let everyone take note.

If you do not buy shi1tty Igbo products, then you are in fact a bigot. And they'll secede.

Heh, keep making all your bullsh1t threats. Me, a guy who would otherwise be relatively neutral will instead work very hard in his life to keep you under Nigeria's boot.

Can you imagine a man begging for a handout and then threatening if you don't give one?
I'm not the one asking for a subsidy. That is YOU.
Keep talking. Let's see whether anything comes of it.
The point is that they instead searched for areas where they had competitive advantage. It wasn't at independence that they built their tech sector. In fact, it is only within the past 10 years that they've been able to do this.

Most people with sense in their heads say, "Hey, which business do I have a bit of an advantage? Let me exploit that." Not, "I wanna do X. I'm not competitive at it, but I'll feed at the government trough."

Jesu! So you are saying that Nigeria has a competitive advantage over China when it comes to manufacturing?!   If it did. . . then this thread would not even exist, would it? If I remember correctly, even labor in China is slightly cheaper. Not to talk of the numerous other inputs.

Fake businessman!

[b]I detest eku-bear and those that feel that Nigerian manufacturers are not worth patronising. Pardon me, but their arguments just showed how useless some Nigerians are.
If I produce DVD machines in Japan, and decide to call them a twisted "Nnamdi" e.g Nnamotosoki. Eku bear and his fellow morons will rush to buy them, than if I had a branch in Nigeria that had produced the same DVD machines and simply called them"Nnamdi". These DVD machines may be produced in Nigeria by the my same Japanese employees, with the same equipments and same quality. Yet it will be despised because it is made in Nnewi and Nigeria.

Nigeria is a hopeless country. I don't even advise any profit-focused manufacturer to manufacture in Nigeria, especially my fellow Igbos, because their products will be despised.

Until disintegration of Nigeria becomes a reality, Nigerians shall never see progress. It will be 1 step forward, 1000 steps backwards always.

also:

You are screaming revolution as if you will stand if it happens. Which group in Nigeria ever revolted against Nigeria? What happened to them? I am Igbo if you must know. I will rather stay away from your silly enclave than argue about how to revolt again and be backstabbed. I bet an uneducated person like you does not know

Onlytruth, Let's be honest with ourselves, these companies are owned and operated by Easterners and Igbo in particular. Because of the rabid hatred they have for anything Igbo they are willing to render the nation poor, with youths jobless than support anything by the Igbo. Even if Nigerians were drowning and the Igbo had the solution free them they will rather drag the East down than take the good offer. The owners of both companies should strive to get other nations in Africa and outside Africa to patronize their products and kiss Nigeria good bye. Enugu already did and I hope other Eastern states will follow through.

Stop making a fool of yourself. The international community know who has been living on handouts in Nigeria.
There is nothing wrong about the idea of government support for local industry. It is common practice ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Our quest for secession has been a "he said, she said" thing. But now, they can see how a thoroughly educated man is asking for government to kill off local industry and keep creating huge numbers of unemployed youths who will find their way into crime and end up in western countries seeking economic refuge.

When next our case comes up, it will be a no-brainer.

You always think people hate igbos but that is not the case please calm down and stop this hatred you have for everyone especially yorubas. Dapo's comments were purely based on economics but you all took it that he did not like the eastern region and etc. Please calm down!Ndo, Thank you

eku_bear:

That is not my argument at all. I'm not anti-Igbo. Obviously it benefits everyone in Nigeria if they are made in Nigeria. . . at competitive prices! If it costs 2X to make in Nigeria, and costs only X to make in China, then we are effectively subsidizing the local manufacturer. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes this is bad. Imo, for this particular business, subsidy is bad.

Let me use another analogy. I'm decent at basketball, but not great at it. Does it make sense for me to seek a career as a pro basketball player, when I don't have a competitve advantage at it   However, I'm good at certain other things. Those things are what I'm investing my time in.

I'm not opposed to technology transfer. But if the buses cost X each from China, and say 2X locally, then you probably want to buy from China, no? Certainly, demand some tech transfer. Local assembly. Etc, etc. But at the end of the day, you buy from China.

Then later on down the line when electricity runs 24/7, you'll have a competitive advantage and can start supply the local market at competitive prices.

A friend of mine from Alayi in Abia State had to relocate his plastic factory to ANGOLA.
Imagine how many jobs he had to destroy, and yet you have goats here chewing grass thinking they are talking to me.

There are MANY Igbo guys who own factories in other African countries.
But for me that is even one of the proofs we need when we make our case.
If I were Innoson, I would relocate NOW to Ghana or anywhere outside Nigeria.

The questions for Ndigbo now are:

For how long shall we allow our dreams to be rubbished just because of Nigeria?
Isn't it time we made some serious moves to secede from that country?
Should we continue in Nigeria until our youths take to crime in numbers large enough to drive us out of our home land?

Those are the questions every Igbo person should be asking himself.

We don't share world-view with most of Nigerians. Their youths can survive on dust, ours can't.
So we cannot say "is alright" and simply walk away.

I've just added a few more folks to the list of those I ignore on nairaland.
