jadakiss213: Awolowo died Wretched ke that must be a joke.what he left behind will feed u and ur generations yet unborn.hehehe

If he really died so rich, then he is an epitome of corruption in public service. Tell me how a public servant will acquire so much wealth to feed generation unborn? Did Awolowo own any company? Was Awolowo a businessman? It is unfortunate that you are proud of a public servant who acquired so much wealth through an undefined means.

Repeating lies about Awo's death a million times will never make it true. The whole world knows your folks as conmen and propagandists; you continue to be the butt of international jokes. SE conmen who tried to deceive the international community by starving their babies and presenting their bloated bellies. Pathetic. How exactly are you overriding? Oh, I forgot you get 100 billion daily from Ladipo market ehn grin? Mehn, you people will never change. Liars.


Don't mind them they are a bunch of deluded fellows, to them it's the whole world against them(Nigerian jews grin) and to declare they are losing 100 billion per day in Ladipo market sends another signal about how warped the mind of these guys are and unfortunately many of their educated folks share this same perception. Really funny

Split the goddamn country.
France is not bigger than the SE,yet they are big enough to be a country.
stop flaunting your ignorance and hypocrisy here. France has a total land mass of 543,965sq km(210,026sq mi)
nigeria has a total land mass of 923,768 sq.km. By your foolish illustration, SE covers 60percent of nigerian land mass.

Still funny, tell me does this your barely literate guy own an oil well? or does he run an oil business? because if he's into any of these two no big deal as oil business is a high turnover business. Even people with lucrative PSCs out there very few of them command such figures per day let alone your barely literate IGBO guy grin .I know there are a bunch of lucrative businesses out there but guy common you can do better. Smart up and stop living on fake perception it's harmful to your psyche.

Okiki_Oluwa: When I 1st heared the word Naira, I thought it was coined from a Yoruba word. 'Nai' from the pronounciation of Nigeria & 'ra' which is a Yoruba word for buy. Meaning Naira=Nigeriabuy.
However, this thread has been derailed by ethnic bigots.

You may be right. That is the same interpretation that came to my mind.

This shows what poverty has done to your brain. Dude, Ladipo, Idumota, Balogun, ASPMDA, Alaba are not your usual retail street shops. These are markets where traders from other states of the Fderation as well as other African countries come to get their supplies. Most traders here are importers. A trader making 10 million naira turn over a day (NOT PROFIT) in those markets is very easy. I have been in the system so I know what I talk about.

When I was in Idumota (pharmaceutical wholesale), we had a lot of customers who regularly made individual purchases of more than 10 million naira mainly from Maiduguri (they serve customers from North East West Africa wey no get liver come Lagos), Kano, Sokoto, Onitsha, Chad, Niger, Aba etc. Those markets for whatever they are known for ie Idumota ( pharmaceuticals and articles), ASPMDA (new auto parts), Alaba (Electronics), Coker (plumbing and building materials), Ladipo (used auto parts) etc. serve the entire country and the West and Central African markets.

Well, if you don't believe that an average trader in those markets makes a turnover of up to that, ask any of your friends or relatives working in any bank branch located in any if those markets and he or she might be able to enlighten you.

I can't argue in the 100 billion naira aspect but 10 million naira for a trader in those markets is not exaggerated. Having said that, not everybody in those markets make up to that as some are what we call 'Ndi oso afia'- helpers who don't even own shops. Also note that you can make 10 million naira sale with less than 50,009 naira profit or even a loss.

Also note that you can make 10 million naira sale with less than 50,009 naira profit or even a loss.

You see I like it when people put things in proper perspective, in your first reply you said "carting away" that suggest profit. Also when I replied you I agreed that you can have a turnover(bearing in mind turnover is different from profit) of 10 million naira per day in some areas of business especially oil. I can't dispute these claims on the ground of turnover per day but suggesting that figure as profit is what I can't swallow a position you corroborated when you said " you can make 10 million naira sale with less than 50,009 naira profit or even a loss". This takes me back to my first point,someone who rakes in 10 million naira per day with a net profit of say 500,000 is still not in the picture you tried to paint as he has to pay for what he has sold and cater for the running cost of his business inside this 500k profit. See my friend this is just to let you know that the real mega earners out there are people who've got the opportunity to drink from the pot of oil in the Niger Delta(these set of people cut across all regions and tribes) and not what you tried to pass across earlier ,don't want to mention the word because you've actually come across as someone with a lucid mind. By the way try avoiding insults when passing your message across.
