There are much more igbo investments in IGBO land than there are in anywhere else, I wonder where you people get this idea from, is it because you see IGBO owned 2x2 shops in Alaba? Go to Onitsha main market, the biggest market in west Africa if not the whole of Africa. 99% Igbo, 99% of the cottage industries in IGBO land is owned by Igbos, Ekeonunwa of Owerri 99% of the traders there are Igbos, are Innoson, Chikason, Ibeto, Obguawa, and other manufacturers in Igboland Yoruba people? Go to Aba, 99% of the people doing business in Aba are Igbos.

With over one million Ibo gala and lacasera hawkers alone in Lagos, and all their rich brothers settling down in Lagos, we just learn the Ibos are an extremely wicked, terrible set of people who can't even stay in their own land. It shows you the little faith they have in their leaders, land, and in themselves as a people.
Proudly an Ebira, as poor we are, we think home, and build and invest in our region first.

Superior people don't stay at home to invest. They know that it would be diffcult to compete amongst themselves. Rather, they move to other places where they have advantage over the people. For example, Jewish people are scattered around the world and doing great but hardly ever invest at home because they will face highly competitive jewish people. Same as Chinese. Go and listen to Dr. Thomas Sowell. He explained this in great detail mentioning Jews, Chinese, Germans and Igbos in his book.

We have Tonimas, Star line, Geometric, we have Karisto, Cutix cables, we have Gregory University, we have Master Energy industrial hub at Isiukwuato.

What we are saying is, we want more, let them bring even if half of their outside investments home, then let's see who go talk rubbish again.

Proudly an Ebira, as poor we are, we think home, and build and invest in our region first.

The investment in ur Ebira land cannot even match the one along Osisioma Expressway in Aba alone, where we have Tonimas and Karisto electrical switches and have many soap producing companies.

Don't delude yourself guy, Aba only have 5 clusters of shoe makers with each numbering 10000.
The fabrication people are over 11000 in Aba, I am only telling you about Aba, I don't even want to talk about the adjoining areas.

There are lots of businesses and companies running here, don't think we don't know what we are doing, we want our people to remember home first.

It is in our nature to explore into unfamiliar territories for business, doesn't mean the ones at home are failing.
Ordinary traders in Ahia Ohuru Aba are riding big cars and building high tall buildings yearly.

Open a sea port nearer to the south east, lots of people wouldn't be going to Lagos.

If BA, Lufthansa and the likes of virgin Atlantic could depart from Heathrow and land at Akanu Ibiam airport in Enugu, I wouldn't spend more than five days in Lagos or Abuja.

That's because there are people who only know how to buy things imported from everywhere.

Stop buying and they won't be importing.

did I condemn the fact that they are importers? consumption of imported goods is not restricted to any region in Nigeria. my point is that being an importer is not something to brag about. there are people that can easily replace them. I was once into Mini importation. it requires nothing special

that's why I said when they leave, there will be much less competition and the demand for imported goods will rise. there will be more demand than supply and somebody like me who knows how to import will go back and make cool cash. new people will invest in it and in a short time, the biafrans will be replaced. that's why I said there is nothing special about it

I get it now. The Biafrans have been stifling brother from making money. Goodluck in your quest. I think you should be preparing to import now so that by end of September, your containers would've arrived, cleared and by first week of October, it will be massive sales for you. I bet you'll also occupy one of the houses left by the Biafrans.

Bro you don hammer. 2017 is a good year for you. By end of October 2017. You would've become a wealthy importer and a landlord.

nobody is eyeing their properties. it seems like you still don't even understand my point. you said their departure will affect our economy so I'm telling you how they can easily be replaced. yes the igbos are competing with us and they would also be happy if others would stop competing with them. it's business bro. the less the supply, the higher the demand and the higher the demand, the higher the salescheesy

Where did I say that their departure would affect the economy? Kindly go through my posts and point it out.

If there's one thing I can extract from your post. It's the fact that these people are actually helping to keep the prices down cos there are lots of option for people to choose from and that includes choice of items and competitive prices.

A business man must always go out to see where there is no market and put his market there. Dangote even have investments outside of nigeria so it's not a crime to invest outside if it will fetch u quick money.
