I Am a complete yoruba man but I respect this tribe because of their biz acumen. No tribe is comparable to them, I work in Lagos and I know what am saying. Nigerians need igbos more for our economic development.

I imagine we would not hear a word if the richest and most successful business man in Africa, Aliko Dangote, was Ibo.

As a yoruba man I have no problem with the SS, we both enjoy good relationship and historical benevolence. Like the people of warri,benin,ijaw and co, but the problem of this country are igbos, na dem cause civil war, na dem start the military coup(agonyi ironsi) and now they are blaming everybody especially yoruba for jona failure for re-election as if jona is an igbo. Igbos are to greedy for power and they will never get to the top ladder as long as they encourage secessionist and tribalism. Every tribes voted for goodluck in 2011 from west to north and south and the same pple vote him out and u are complaining??

Topeakintola:
This is what the OP said last year

AshiwajuFoward:


Imagine o? It's like saying that the economy of the entire country is dependent on a tribe of traders ? ? Fine, igbos are skilled traders but no need exaggerating this. Not all Igbos are trading inclined -- the Imo and Enugu folks for examples prefer more educational/administrative/professional proficiency, while the Ebonyi axis prefers to focus more on Agric. The Anambra and Abia axis are the predominant traders of the group. Hausas also have traders, skilled ones too. The ijebus and Ogbomosho folks are well known and skilled traders as well. This overhyping is becoming ridiculous and reeks of desperation for relevance.

SonOfEl:


[s]We know dangote's wealth has political trappings in it. Igbos rose from the ashes and pangs of war to become successful again.

Despite the economic and political sabotage thrown at igbos, we still survived and today, we Stand tall. Germany and Japan ( though properly funded by US) rose from the ashes of war to stand tall today.

All your rich alhaji are political bootlickers, so save your speech.[/s]

babyfaceafrica:
The OP is mischievious,that said he said nothing new,everyone knows igbos know how to do business well...so its an open secret,but the OP last sentences is hyperbolic ,we all need each other.God bless Nigeria

leke12:
if we want economic development we need one another but igbos are essential

AshiwajuFoward:


I'm sorry but you sound ignorant. This isn't about jealousy but rather about terminating your ignorance lest it spreads. Please what sort of 'business' goes on at Alaba and Trade fair? TRADING in what? Electronics, Dvds, and to a lesser extent pirating local and foreign works. Your problem is your blanket statement of misrepresenting trading as though it is the only form of business practice. Agric sef na business. Please shey na igbos dominate am? What is the contribution of their trading dominance as you claim on Lagos and National GDP? You don't know what you are talking about bro.

Dude, there is trading evident banking, entertainment, oil and gas, agriculture, retail and wholesale enterprise, stock market trade, forex, and etc, so what's your freaking point? Your objection does not change the facts, igbos dominates in most trades/businesses if not all.

Op the only things igbos are good at, are icriminal activities, peddling of hard drugs, baby making factories, ritual killings, cannibalism, armed robbery, kidnapping, fake drugs and products etc.

SonOfEl:


Thank you very much....insecure loser.

babyfaceafrica:
everyone is essential,no one is bigger than the other,thast why I said you are mischievous,you are placing them above others,there is no justification of that,we all contribute our quotas to make Nigeria what it is
