Go to Aba, Anambra snd Enugu and see blast furnance. Igbos smelt iron and build technological stuffs while yaribas post dudu osun, oando distribution trucks and alabukun. Igbos posted zpad, zinox, innoson and peace car plants, emzor and orange drugs, stanel rubber tyres etc. Are these the basis and foundation of industry? Yes. Am yet to see what yorubas have produced. Still waiting.
Guy, for every single thing that the Igbo entrepreneurs produce, you would see Yoruba people & folks from other ethnic groups, that have produced the same thing or similar things. Just do your research. undecided

Music,grammy & Yoruba dominance:
Lists Nigerians who were ever Grammy award nominees


https://www.thecable.ng/6-years-nigeria-wins-grammys-olusola

At the 57th edition of the Grammy awards, which held at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday, Nigerian Kelvin Olusola and his team, Pentatonix, won in the Best Arrangement, Instrumental or Acappella category.

Olusola thus joined a growing list of Nigerians to have won the award after Helen Folashade Adu (better known as Sade Adu), Henry Adeola Samuel (popularly called Seal) and Sikiru Adepoju.

In 1986, at the 28th Grammy awards, Sade Adu winning with her band, Sade, as Best New Artiste, became the first Nigerian to win in the prestigious awards.

Ten years later, another Nigerian, Seal, won the Grammys Record of the Year and Song of the Year awards for his song Kiss from a Rose, a song which was remixed as a soundtrack to Batman forever.

Sikiru Adepoju won the Grammy in 1991 and 2009 as a part of Mickey Hart’s group, Planet Drum, whose albums won the award for Best Contemporary World Music Album for the two years.

Many other Nigerians have been nominated but lost out to other nominees.

The first Nigerian to be nominated for the award was King Sunny Ade, in 1983 for his album, Synchro System. He was re-nominated in 1998 for his collection of Yoruba songs Odu, becoming the first African to be nominated twice.

Femi, son of controversial Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, has been nominated for a Grammy award four times. He was nominated in 2003, 2010, 2012 and 2013, but did not win any.

Who did you knock down with your alabukun and dudu osun. Your mates posted car assembly lines, powerbike production, ampicillin, drugs and injections manufacturing, zinox computers and zpad tablet companies, polymer and rubber tyres and many other steel industries. Yorubas called their mods to delete and created a reply with long names of CEO's as their 'products'. And you talk about knocking down. Mumu. I insist , yorubad produce nothing worthy of mention. Rubbish.

Oga, one of the top pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria is Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Limited. It is a wholly indigenous Nigerian company, established in 1993 as a drug manufacturing outfit, after approval and due recognition of relevant agencies and bodies including the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN). It is owned by a family of pharmacists - the Ekundayo family and the Adedipes. They produce a range of therapeutic drugs such as anti-fungals, antibiotics, antivirals, anti-diabetes, anti-hypertensives, analgesics, antihelmiths, haematinics, injectables, intravenous fluids, anti-malarials and multivitamins.

The first feature phone assembly plant is located in Osun state. The RLG assembling plant known as “RLG & ADULAWO TECH CITY” is a public-private partnership between the Osun state government and RLG Communications. They are said to have delivered 50,000 Nigerian-assembled feature phones in 2015.

Another smartphone assembly plant is also located in Lagos State. The AfriOne assembly plant was launched, with the unveiling of the Champion and Gravity range of smartphones, but would still offer a wide range of products. These products include feature-rich and technologically loaded product lines from dual sim mobile phones to educational tablet PCs and even android smart watches. Lekan Akinjide is the CCO, while the board consists of Nigerians and Asian investors.

Poverty striken indeed! Your people are all over Yoruba land selling gala in traffics. Your worthless and useless people are here selling egusi, ugwu and all those irritating things you call food. Why will they leave the land to a "poverty stricken" land?
Igbos are useless people.

You just echoed my thought man, the misconception that igbos created nollywood is a lie that has been peddled for too long.

Yoruba started the TV, cinema, plays in Nigeria, talk of Hubert ogubde, afolayan, moses olaiya etc, those were the golden age of movie production in Nigeria.

When our aba Jews entered into the industry the so-called nollywood went to shit, even now you can't compare Yoruba movies in term of story lines, acting, location, technology to these up iweka productions.

You mean Igbos that learnt how to wear clothes in 1921 ? grin

So if you cannot and do not know how to wear clothes and somebody tells you that you are wiser than the clothed person who has never been naked because he was wise to know how to do aso oke.sanyan,kijipa etc...won't you think that the person that says you are wise is making jest of you that you are the greatest monkey? grin

For your information you do not have half of the industries the Yorubas have home and abroad but what is the need of blowing our trumpets,all thanks to the Gracious God...

Jonathan regime really benefitted them. This is why till today, they are still bitter that he lost the election. Funny enough, the south-south where jonathan comes from have gotten over it, but an average Igbo person is still bitter today. They occupied all the federal posts and never cried marginalization.
The only time an Igbo person will feel happy is if he sees the down fall of Yoruba people. They are the most useless and pathetic people i have ever known.

Register a telecoms compamy, install masts and transmitters to cover large areas and sell sim cards. Does Glo manufacture the transmitters. NO. Do they manufacture the phones. No. They dont even manufacture their sim cards. I bet you Glo will wait for Aba boys to manufacture the transmitters and boosters for them. Yeye pipu. Losers.
Bia, nwokem you don fall my hand, o! cheesy How many Igbo-owned telecom companies have the number of subscribers, that Glo has? GLO has an estimate of over 34 million subscribers (April 2016) of which 26 million are internet subscribers, and it is a 100 percent Nigerian owned company, whose largest shareholder is Mike Adenuga. Why are you asking if they manufacture phones? How many GSM telcos in the world manufacture their own phones? shocked What you should be asking is what is the size of their revenue base or turnover, how much profit do they make etc? Now, let me give you one small assignment - tell me how many Igbo-owned telecom firms make the same kind of money annually, that Glo makes in a month. cool Every correct answer gets 20 marks!

THE ONLY NIGERIAN THAT MANUFACTURES PHONE....

Michael Akindele, a 30 year-old Nigerian, is a director and a co-founder of SOLO Phone, an experience-driven digital content and smartphone company focused on delivering the best content and services on the mobile platform to African consumers.

SOLO Phone, which was established in Nigeria in 2012, is an experience-driven mobile device manufacturer which aims to provide the best content and services to the African consumer at an affordable price. The company manufactures smartphones priced at $150, bundled with free music of up to 20 million songs licensed from Sony, Universal and Warner. SOLO also recently launched a Video-On-Demand App available to all Android devices in Nigeria which offers the latest Nollywood and Hollywood movies from global movie studios.

I recently had a chat with Akindele where he recounted his entrepreneurial journey and explained why he feels SOLO phones will give other smartphones a run for their money.

THE ONLY NIGERIAN THAT MANUFACTURES PHONE....

Michael Akindele, a 30 year-old Nigerian, is a director and a co-founder of SOLO Phone, an experience-driven digital content and smartphone company focused on delivering the best content and services on the mobile platform to African consumers.

SOLO Phone, which was established in Nigeria in 2012, is an experience-driven mobile device manufacturer which aims to provide the best content and services to the African consumer at an affordable price. The company manufactures smartphones priced at $150, bundled with free music of up to 20 million songs licensed from Sony, Universal and Warner. SOLO also recently launched a Video-On-Demand App available to all Android devices in Nigeria which offers the latest Nollywood and Hollywood movies from global movie studios.

I recently had a chat with Akindele where he recounted his entrepreneurial journey and explained why he feels SOLO phones will give other smartphones a run for their money.

Wow!

SHOWROOM.NG’S AMBITION TO FURNISH NIGERIAN HOMES AND MAKE 100K CARPENTERS MILLIONAIRES BY 2020




When former Konga Business Analyst, Sheriff Shittu, moved from the Ikorodu area of Lagos, to the highbrow Lekki, it wasn’t without its challenges. As a home decor enthusiast, Shittu had managed to amass an impressive collection of quality furniture designs. One big challenge however was finding competent and trusted furniture makers in a relatively unknown area who could accurately replicate designs from his collection.



Shittu’s experience is not isolated, as it is one of the problems anyone who has tried to do a furniture overhaul may have faced. Being the serial entrepreneur that he is, Shittu became motivated to become the solution to the problem. Hence, Showroom.ng was birthed.

Showroom’s Value Proposition
Showroom.ng is simply a curated marketplace of furniture design references. As such, it serves two customer segments – furniture makers and furniture buyers. Showroom.ng engages awesome and trusted furniture makers, who otherwise would not have access to these customers who are willing to pay well for value. The furniture makers pay Showroom.ng a commission in return for a steady stream of customers.




From the comfort of their homes, users can choose from a selection of design references and have the furniture delivered in as little as 24 hours – for ready-made orders – to within 10 and 17 days for custom orders.


You do not have to worry about chasing the carpenter around and whatever you see in the pictures is what you get”, Shittu assures. “Our goal is that you do not have to break your bank to gain access to the quality furniture.






Throughout the process of customizing the order,the startup keeps communication lines – email, WhatsApp, calls – open with the customer, in a bid to deliver exactly what they are looking for, a process which is being optimized. “And if whatever we offer you doesn’t match your quality expectations, we guarantee your money back”.

The demand and potential

In barely 6 months since Showroom.ng launched as beta in February, the startup has experienced steady incremental growth. Within 3 days of launching, they had their first order. More orders followed in subsequent days – more than enough validation that the idea actually works.

THE ONLY NIGERIAN TO HAVE PRODUCED THIS LAUDABLE MATHEMATICAL SETS BEING USED BY WAEC IN WEST AFRICA...


Without contradictions, Nigeria is adjudged as the
giant of Africa considering her vast demography
and massive population. Despite these known
endowments, the country does not have a globally
recognized product to its name.

However, turning the tide for good, Mr. Babatope
Agbeyo, CEO of Cornfield Transnational Limited, a
parent company to Media Concept International
and Botosoft Technologies recorded a major
milestone through the development of intellectual
patented property known as KAPTEK set of
mathematical instruments with an in-built
scientific calculator.
KAPTEK set of mathematical instruments with an
in-built scientific calculator
The made-in-Nigeria product is certified to be of
high quality that meets international standard with
a patent number: WO 2015063586 A1 as published
by google.
The calculator is a non- programmable computer
having in excess of 400 functions and is
manufactured with examination and/or learning
situations in mind. Such a computer, particularly
one for use in examination conditions, will be
silent with no audio or noisy keys, cordless in the
sennse of not being dependent on a mains power
supply, and including dry nonprogrammable
batteries. The computer will preferably have no
facility for a magnetic card input ‘or plug-in
modules of program instruction. The product
seamlessly has the capacity to help examination
bodies like WAEC, NECO, JAMB etc, to curb
malpractices.
Moreover, the instrument case includes no
calculator secured to or built into its lid. In this
embodiment, the entire upper surface of the
instrument case is transparent. The side walls and
base of the instrument case is transparent. One
main advantage of instrument cases in accordance
with the invention is that they assist invigilators in
preventing examinees from carrying into an
examination unauthorised items which could
provide unacceptable assistance to the examinee
to answer examination questions. The transparent
lid of such an instrument case will either
discourage items being brought into an
examination or make such items more apparent to
invigilators.
KAPTEK set of mathematical instruments with an
in-built scientific calculator
Besides, the transparent lid also has the advantage
of enabling a student to recognise if an important
item is missing from his or her instrument case. It
is envisaged that instrument cases in accordance
with the present invention containing only
instruments relevant to the examination to be
undertaken will be handed to examinees as they
enter an examination venue, no other instruments
not permitted can be brought to the respective
examination by the examinees.
This invention emphatically relates to a closable
instrument case for retaining inter alia a calculator
and various drawing and other mathematical
instruments used particularly by students and
more especially for use by students or candidates
in examination conditions.
It would be recalled that the West African
Examination Council had once emphasized that it
will inaugurate West African Senior School
Certificate Examinations, “branded, non-
programmable calculators and mathematical sets”
for all its examinations. The initiative, the Council
said, was to stop the increasing use of
“programmable calculators” by candidates during
examinations. However, Mr. Agbeyo’s innovation
has the potential to help WAEC and other
examination bodies and even Universities that
conduct post UME tests to achieve their
impervious or foolproof set objectives.
