Why Does Most Igbo Businesses Thrive In Informal And Illegal Markets by akingangan: 3:06pm On Mar 16, 2023 |
It is a common saying that Igbo people like money However, an observation when you travel to countries abroad with a big Nigerian population such as the United Kingdom, Dubai, and The United States, you find that the majority of the Nigerian shops and businesses are owned and operated by Yoruba people. While in Nigeria Igbos dominate the markets which are mostly informal such as selling Medicine (Many chemists selling Fake drugs were tackled by the Late Dora Akunyili who was a distinguished Nigerian of Igbo heritage) Pirated movies and music Fake branded cloths Used and modified Electronics Hawking in the street Car spare parts and so on The Agbero unique tax system which the Lagos government formulated out of the Federal government's restricted business environment is an exception but much complained about. Gone are the heydays when there was order in the markets and shops like Leventis were the norm. This begs the question: Why do Igbo businesses thrive in informal and Illegal markets |

Because Igbo businesses cannot survive in a formal setting. Cutting corners is normal in Igbo businesses. That's why it's difficult to even work in an Igbo owned business, because for you to last you must be a master in cutting corners. 1 Like 1 Share |

akingangan: Are you talking about pharmacy shops or best pharmacists in Nigeria? If you are talking about best Nigerian pharmacists, Yorubas win the top 3! Igbos just know how to market oyinbo products. |
