Obidikejr:

that has been my prayer since inception, pls start tellin your monarc to chase us out. i cant wait to see the ibos come back home to develop their land like they do for you and your people. pls let them come home and lets how stable your economy is without us... infact u are the only one who said something meaningful, but your monarch shouldn't start the part 2 of "the cry for help " when the drums begin to roll on his head and that of your people.

noblejames:
I think you have some points there, but you cannot ignore the activities of these traders and how they are the ones making the dangotes going forward. Without distributors I dont think dangote will make a headway. However, the activities of these traders have kept them business and that is why they should be called businessmen, cos from their activities money change hands, as well continues to alleviate poverty among them. Though, they might not be involved in all the places you mentioned but the fact remains that they are directly or indirectly in the equation and hence their relevancy in the economy of Nigeria! And moreover, most of these "top businessmen" who are into manufacturing started like the ones in Ladipo, so they are businessmen, that is the way I see it.

Lagos was economically rich before Igbos. Igbos are the ones that need Lagos to thrive .

not in the north but in the south.
Yoruba are so accommodating, you think this recent drama can happen in the north without your so called "fearless" blood been shed.

Stop beating your chest and forming superman.

So sorry that a man would go bringing evil upon himself so easily like this! What sense does it make making it easier for the devil who the Bible calls our adversary whose sole aim is to steal, to kill and to destroy? And some people are here hailing the guy in the horrible T-shirt to his destruction? Smh

Aside the excessive audacity which breeds arrogance and pride with Igbos, This is the part i like about Igbos...Everything is business...let truth be told. Igbos are way ahead in business in Nigeria.

I entered Ladipo market one day and couldnt find one shop owned by a Yoruba man in the two hours i spent there. I think business is genetic for them. can you remember the ''my oga at the top stuff'' while some of us typed on the internet, Aba boys were thinking business. Mbaka spoke against GEJ, few days after, (Mbaka but why T. shirt was all over the market). They seem not interested in white collar jobs like every other tribe. If we have more entrepreneurs, the faster we come out of the corruption in public and civil service.

When i finished NYSC, i was retained in the bank with one Emeka boy..I remember during the interview, one of the panelists said, Emeka, you are supposed to be in Aba or Alaba, what are you doing here? the Igbo jokingly said, its capital am looking for..six years after, the Igbo boy resigned, we never knew he was combining banking with real estate business..on saturdays he was a house searching agent. he told me he sold two houses in Ikoyi and resigned...

Till i left the bank, his salary account was in millions...doing so well in business, the latest he told me last year was that, one of the panelists in that our interview is now his account officer...I just love the business part of them and maybe the way they adore their wives and children. They take family very seriously. Emeka is so wealthy and lavishes his wealth on his wife and 3 boys. Needless to say he inspired me into business and i am doing well too, but not anywhere near Emeka.

Throw them into the Lagoon and see the potentials of that water developed by them.

I live in new haven precisely n I've been here for 3 decades. I know only 2 or 3 Yoruba people n I have never heard of a house in new Haven owned by a Yoruba man.

But in whichever state u live, There are igbos all around u. I don't even want to go into structure ownership.

anonimi:


Aare Tinubu is the Aare Afonja of today.

1st he sold yoruba right to Speaker to a fulani, not so?

2nd he abused Awo and his family, not true?

Now he has sold us again to the fulanis. I hope he will not end up like the other Aares before him like, SL Akintola, MKO Abiola who did similar alliances like Afonja.

holatin:
stop mentioning mulikat incident when you are trying to make a point.
you know all party fight for their relevance, dats democracy and tribalcracy.

so championing an Hausa man to become a President mean to sell a tribe out, when he supported GEJ in 2011 he was right about.

I hate hypocrite walai

while you are laughing, kindly educate me on how Otedola began in business and how he made his money... and where he was in 1999 before OBJ.

omonnakoda::

Please do not talk stupidly .Try to comprehend before talking. One of the biggest businesses in the world Walmart is made of stores so I am not speaking against stores as a business.If you do not understand that that is not my problem. Trading however is different from a business. Everyone knows that Dangote started as a trader so spare me the sermon. The fact is not all traders are businessmen. There is a huge difference between the two which your Ladipo brethren have not grasped. We are talking of a scrap market selling parts of dismembered vehicles and FAKE parts.

SERIOUS BUSINESSMEN DO NOT SELL FAKES. That is the difference. A serious businessman does not seek to exploit you today and damn the consequences. He wants to build a REPUTATION

What we have in Ladipo is a hybrid of criminality and "trading" selling butchered stolen vehicles and laundering drug money such things do not grow into Walmarts or Microsoft.Ask yourself this question.; Alaba market has been there for over 30 years why have they not progressed to manufacturing.Why have they not grown to the size wher they can offer warranties as you get in places like South Africa. The Eboes in Ladipo are in competition and do no wish to see each others progress and so you will never see them come together to form a joint venture or company. Bil Gates today owns less than half or Microsoft ditto for Wal Mart and the Walton family.

Do you folk think we are that silly that we don't know these traders by day are armed robbers and drug dealers by night.That many of these stores are fronts for drug money? We know how to deal with you ruthlessly but are accommodating.There are laws that allow government to confiscate unexplained wealth or proceeds of crime. We are tolerant but your boastful nature can push saints to villainy
