Smh. To think that these fellows are actually bragging and gloating over what they term 'group economics'. If other ethnicities were to also aggressively and collectively adopt such protectionist practices, needless to say that the Igbos won't even have any other market outside their region as they would simply not be welcomed. I don't blame them though. Na my Yoruba folks I blame for stvpidly embracing them without reservation, only to be called fools in return, and openly lectured about how smarter they are for practicing 'group economics'. Shio.

This may be a hard concept for non-Igbo to grasp, but Igbo people practice something called group economics, and this is culturally engrained. Meaning that once one Igbo man gets money, he tried to circulate that money as many times within his own community as many times as possible.

This is how Igbo have been so successful in commercial endeavors. A typical Igbo man knows the power of money and wealth, as such some of his actions may seem alien, but there is much to learn from studying the Igbo.

Igbo marginalization is more so structural, the Igbo get no leg-up from the government, and they have to make their own way. This is demonstrated in the fact that many Igbo millionaires are not affiliated with government.

In regards to Nigeria’s present structure, one would be unwise to categorize what we have as a true “democracy” – true democratic principles are still just taking root. People saying that Igbo will not produce another president are only fooling themselves. If anything, the South East will take the VP position next election if Buhari chooses not to run again.

little wonder no ibo man features in the list of ten wealthiest Nigerians. Dangote is worlds wealthiest blackman, thanks to thinking beyond ones ethnic group. Innoson motor remains where it is, thanks to group economics.

And WTF is an Igbo man still doing in ekiti if he so desperately wants to leave Nigeria. You want to have your country yet you migrate to other people's land on a fuuuckking daily basis. No one takes you confused lot serious buddy

It's not sidelining ..it's an economic preference....I hope that okada man has given you a crash course on
Group economics 101


That's why we Igbo go village at the end if the year ..to repatriate the money we made abroad and also make some new contacts or network ...yorubas don't do that


Yoruba have a lot to learn from us . It's not all about bragging sophisticated everyday

If i begin to mention some of the remotest areas of the north west, were i have met these people while on duty as a traveling sales officer, you will know that those wailing about marginalization are actually LEECHES feeding fat on people's ignorance.
Most time when we jam like that me and my crew will be like " WHAT IS HE DOING HERE ", as usual, they operate chemist and provision shops, these are the ones who cannot survive competition in the cities in the north, only God knows whats pursuing them to those dangerous places.
But they will say Yoruba's are holding them down and not allowing them to go as if Yoruba's are the ones responsible for Igbo's aimless migration to these remote areas.
They can't stay in their homeland period, GIVE THESE PEOPLE BIAFRA A THOUSAND TIMES, THEY WILL NOT STAY THERE, THEY ARE BORN TO ROAM STICKING THEIR NOSE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S HOME, AND ACCUSING THEM OF NOT BEING ACCOMMODATING.

You Igbo people are doing Evil called group economy and calling it good. Now if your host should decide to take action against you, you will call it marginalisation . Little wonder northerners are always killing you people at the slightest provocation.

33xtr33r:


Lies of hypocrisy to divert attention from the very obvious...

Just at the mere mentioning of Biaf... or NK many Yorubas would whine, weep, wail and gnash their teeth with thick mucous dripping down their smelly noses as if their whole essence in life is being taken away from them.

rlauncher:



This is ETHNIC ECONOMIC BIGOTRY and not group economics like you called it. It well known nationwide that Igbo people don't like to patronize people of other ethnic groups except their own. They expect people of other ethnic groups to treat them well while they do the opposite while at the same time shouting marginalisation. What an IRONY.

dexentity:
I wonder what happens if everybody starts practising group economy. I'm waiting to see where sophistication will lead Yorubas to.

Taking of human life because a group chooses to support their brother’s business is never justified. Rather than being mad at the Igbo, it would help you to try to understand why and how he does it.

Every successful nation practices group economics. Imagine if Nigeria did it as a whole. Take for example crude oil, we take our crude oil, sell it to Germany, they in turn refine it and sell it back to us. Imagine if we kept it in-house and had a Nigerian company refine it. Not only would that create jobs for you and I, it would save the country money, and then would could sell the product overseas at twice the amount we currently do.

Furthermore, imagine if we owned our own shipping lines, we could hire a Nigerian firm to take it all around the world, thus adding more jobs to the economy. Igbo people are natural economists, and if the country as a whole ran their economy the way Igbo people run their businesses, unemployment in this country would be halved by tomorrow. Instead of hating your brothers from across the Niger, step back and try to understand why they do what they do.

NaijirianKing:
If we all practiced group economics then that would be good as we would be buying and selling Nigerian made goods and labor. This would actually be a great thing, group economics simply means, look inside first. If you can't find it inside, then look outside. Igbo businessmen understand this well, thus they bring in something from outside Nigeria that only they possess. Thus, even if you want to buy from your brother, you can't because they are the only ones with the desired item.

if everyone began practicing group economics it would actually spur growth in Nigeria.
