Take a look at the following:

1. During Sallah, fare prices don't go up in the North. Some rich Northerners even provide free means of transportation for their people wishing to return for the occasion. In Igboland, during Easter, Christmas and New Year festivities, cost of transportation goes times five higher than what it used to be. It's not as though there's rise in fuel pump price.

2. On the road, if a Hausa or Fulani police officer stops you, he sounds friendly and playful. He allows you go whether or not you gave him money. But an Igbo police officer will park you, demand for even the date the vehicle was manufactured. He'll squeeze his face as if he's doing police job free of charge. He will cork the gun for you just to prove a point of villainy. He'll now charge you high before releasing you. If you speak Igbo language to him, the case worsens. But if you speak Hausa to a Hausa officer, he'll be happy and will give you a knuckle.

3. Here in Igboland, a Hausa okada rider will pick and drop you at a destination and charge you as low as N150. Tricycle chatter as well. An Igbo okada man will pick and drop you at same destination and charge you as high as N500.Tricycle chatter is a different ballgame for an Igbo rider. He charges N1, 200 for the same place a Hausa rider collects N600 for.

4. You go to market to buy meat. A Hausa meat seller will add "jara" if you jokingly request it. An Igbo seller will quarrel with you and ask if they added "jara" to him at where he bought the animal.

5. In the North, a distance of 10 kilometres is charged N300 as fare cost. In Igboland, you are charged N700. They'll overload the vehicle with passengers and smelling stuff at the back. If you complain, they pick anger and increase the volume of the music appliance. It's not as if there's disparity in the cost of fuel between North and South.

6. In Igboland, transport companies will be using a bus to load five others at the same time thereby delaying the takeoff of the movement of the first bus.

7. An Igbo trader will hoard and place times two the purchase cost of a good or ware for a gain. He doesn't care the plight of the consumers.

After living in the North of Nigeria, it'll be hard for you to cope with living here in the South East. The cost of living in the South East is very high. Still, the Igbo will be the first to complain how bad the government treats them and the economy. Christmas season is in view. Fare price will quadruple. From Awka to Enugu will be N6000. Now, it's N2500 by Sienna. Fuel pump price won't add money as to why the price is rising. It's just greed, avarice, gluttony, etc. Nwoba Chika Nwoba now asks: Who's actually the problem of Ndi Igbo in Igboland?

U got this all wrong... Igbos re progressive, competitive and always desire the good things of life. They believe in giving themselves the best of anything life can offer. The average igboman sends his children to the most expensive schools in town or abroad, they feed their families with good foods, they build or rent very comfortable houses conducive enough for them and their families,they take care of immediate and extended families, they wear good clothes and so on. All these things re what the igboman factors into his business and pricing of his services in order to be able go meet up with these huge responsibilities.

The Hausas on the other hand, are the direct opposite of the igbos. They re somewhat conservative in their approach to businesses and making money due to the fact that they do not have much responsibilities or aspirations in life(not in a derogatory way). Most times they re content with the simple life. They live a solitary life, more like all man for himself kind of life. No attachment to parents or siblings. They only start taking family responsibilities when they get married. They don't live in expensive houses nor eat expensive food. They don't send their kids to expensive schools nor aspire to travel abroad for education.

So the average northerner's simple lifestyle determines how much he charges customers in his business. Since they do not have much responsibilities, they tend to lower their prices.


I have lived in both regions and I know what I'm talking about.

ManofgodJnr3:

The North is good in politics. Why do you complain of marginalisation?

igbos are capitalists and not socialists like the northerners.

asuraking:
They are business men and women by blood,that is why they try to maximise profit.so just chill.

Jovialjune1:


So because they are capitalists, they should keep on cheating people? What type of stupid excuse is that?

You are daft? Are they the only business men and women by blood abi water? When they call Igbo people dubious criminals, they will start to cry, why will they want to maximize profit at the detriment of others if not for wickedness and fraud?

What has ur question got to do with the topic?

Cos I can't remember op talking about marginalization

jesmond3945:
you need to travel to a capitalist country and see how things are done. You also travel to a socialist country like venezuela, brazil and see things for yourself. Thats why igbos thrive abroad unlike northerners. An igbo man will wear slippers to deceive you but he has a mansion somewhere. Thats their nature. A good example of the igbos are the kikuyu people of kenya.

asuraking:
i am not igbo by tribe ,and i am not daft.the business world is as dangerous as the world of politics.the business world is all about profit else why it is a business?you can't be bashing a tribe cos they love to maximise profit.why don't you go into competition against them?are you saying that all business men and women should turn their business to charity? infact i am tired of typing.

There is a market price for goods and services, but Igbos go overboard in maximising profit against the expected fixed price, they do these at the expense of costumers, are other business men and women doing charity because they don't over price their products like the Igbos? Are they the only business men and women in the country? That is the point of this thread, they are swindling and cheating people with their exorbitant price, and funny thing is, it is their people in the east that are feeling the brunt the most.

shortIGBOman:


You claimed Igbo love enjoyment, love life, love good things more than Northerners. That's why the guy asked you that question. Why do you complain that the North are marginalizing Igbo?

Jovialjune1:


In other words, you're saying Igbo people increases prices of goods and services because they want to maintain a certain lifestyle at the detriment of consumers? And you call it being progressive and competitive? Isn't that stupidity and fraud?

ogashman:


So because they love enjoying life with their own money, they shouldn't be allowed to rule or have their own fair share of federal infrastructure?

shortIGBOman:


Make you answer yourself. As for me, let them enjoy their Chest beating. Chest beating is all they need. Not infrastructures or leadership.

ogashman:


Den stop complaining that they sell their goods at a high rate....go buy from ur fellow tribesmen

Jovialjune1:



We are talking of Nigeria, we are not a capitalist country, we are talking of how Igbos cheat people with their overpriced products, so come back to Nigeria, and Igbos dont thrive abroad, they are known as fraudsters and criminals, their nature is everything criminal, it is their nature. The kikuya people are known to uphold their culture and people in high esteem, do not compare them to Igbos because Igbos are thieves.

shortIGBOman:


Upon all the mouth you are making here, no Igbo man made the list of the 20 richest Nigerians. The first and second richest Nigerians are still from the North that u are underrating in terms of doing business.

jesmond3945:
trust me northerners cannot thrive abroad the way they are doing in Nigeria. In Nigeria they have ample opportunities due to their hold in government. Do you know arthur eze has oil block in angola, do you know innoson has oil block in sierra leone, some igbo men have factories outside the country. Igbos thrive in a capitalist economy thats why they travel abroad and never want to come back.
