The way you celebrate these backyard products is shameful. So the yorubas has crashed so low that they celebrate mere chemical that small Igbo boys mix everyday and make their millions without saying it. Everyone should help me feel ashamed for the yorubas.

Ibos' evious nature.

They want biafra because they can't compete with Yorubas.

COMPUTER WAREHOUSE GROUP

Computer Warehouse Group Records N15bn Revenue http://www.ngbafrica.com/computer-warehouse-group-records-n15bn-revenue/

With over two decades of immense contribution to the information communication and technology sector, CWG Plc has continuously remained a benchmark for excellence in Africa. The company commenced operations in Nigeria, on September 26th 1992 as Computer Warehouse Limited principally to cater for the hardware projects. In 1994, DCC Networks was established as the communication arm, to provide VSAT, Metropolitan, Wide Area and Local area networks to corporate organizations. In order to concentrate on demands in the area of software solutions, system and training, the Expert Edge software was acquired in 1997. In 2005, CWG Plc was incorporated to co-ordinate and monitor the activities of the three subsidiaries. Prior this establishment, a branch in Ghana was set-up in 2003 to cater for the needs of the West African region. The Group Company was formed to provide Head Office functions and Shared Resources for the subsidiaries from a central point to make them leaner, efficient and more customer focused. By 2012, CWG Plc merged with its three subsidiaries, this made the subsidiaries cease to exist as separate entities, rather as divisions.In pursuit of its Pan-African Vision, CWG Plc established other regional offices in East and Central Africa; CWG Uganda Limited (2010) and CWG Plc Cameroon Limited (2012) respectively to handle the business interest in these regions.
In February, 2013, CWG Plc ceased to be a Private Limited Company and became a Public Company. Also, on the 15th of November 2013, CWG Plc listed its shares on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The listing boosted the market Capitalization of the NSE by about N14 billion naira, making CWG PLC the highest capitalized security in the ICT sector. CWG PLC’s listing also marked the first listing on the exchange after the launch of the X-Gen trading engine; same engine used on the NASDAQ.

CWG Plc believes in and pursues an excellent service culture, and delivers its operations through global best practices using its ISO9001 certification process across the whole group.

Over time, we have received a number of accolades from our partners, customers, media and professional bodies as a result of our service excellence and increased performance. Most recently, The World Economic Forum (WEF) recognized CWG Plc as a Global Growth Company.

I used to be simple and uncaring about tribes till I got to Lagos. Chai, see the way yorubas dear you if you are Igbo. They are just too afraid of Igbos that it's haunting them.

But we must do what we must. We must prosper both home and away.

Please create it this very minute and get swamped with hard facts as usual. I repeat, Igbos are better than yorubas in almost every good indices.

Igbos are good at catching up. Yorubas will always set standards for Africa, but while Igbos are attempting to catch-up as they are wont to do, we will be setting new frontiers for the next generation of Igbos to learn and catch up.

As regards indices, ever heard of the following industries and profession?

-Banking, Finance and Accounting
-Insurance
-Telecommunications
-Oil and Gas
-Law
-Manufacturing
-Medicine
-Engineering
-Politics
-Academia
-Theatre Arts
-Importation and Exportation as a business that was pioneered by Yoruba merchants who were returnees from Brazil and were trading between Lagos and the Americas continent at a time the Igbos were still learning how to letter their own language at the feet of Samuel Ajayi Crowther.

Who are the pioneers or the biggest investors in those sectors in Nigeria? Any Igbo achievement in those sectors is the result of catching up to a Yoruba standard that still keeps them beneath.

Name one notable or historic Igbo in those fields, and I will name a more notable and prehistoric Yoruba in that same field.

Name one industrious Igbo in those fields, and I will articulate with facts the conglomerate founded and run by a Yoruba in that same field.

Emeritus Professor of History and former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Tekena Tamuno, passed on at the age of 83 last week. An erudite scholar of international repute, he was rightly described by President Goodluck Jonathan as “an edifice of knowledge, epitomising the capacity of Nigerians to be among the best in the world in their
chosen profession.”

Foolishness is when you think you know better than an Emeritus professor of history who is widely recognize as the pioneer of historians in Nigeria.
Boy you're a Neophyte, you don't know anything.

Lol! So the man was mentored by Afonjas? Always suspected foul play and wondered why his book looks and sound to be straight up the stables of Afonja propaganda machine. It all made sense now. He wrote trash with no neutral source to back him up. Sorry bro, your professor is a bad history revisionist. Can't believe he is even a prof, no wonder the country failed.

You have WON my permanent respect for your post. The yoruba attitude is the reason why the black man lags behind in every aspect of life. We need to put the black race and Nigeria's interest first. This does not mean that yarubas are not doing well. Of course they are, but they should know that God Almighty distributes talents differently. What the igbos have in innovation and industry akin to the Germans, the yoruba have in many other areas. all they need to do is look for their own God given talent and develop it. There is no need to deny the igbos talent, undermine it or hate them for it. NO. we must support them, encourage them and work with them for the interest of the black race. Until yorubas conquer their deep seated tribal envy, Nigeria and the black race will forever be in bondage. And we must defeat that yoruba attitude.


lmaoooo this is hilarious!!

A Yoruba man opens a thread about successful businesses he owns, Ibos jump on the thread to belittle the Yoruba man out of fear and intimidation. Ibos and deceit. chaiiii.

The last time I checked, the so called slave is ur acting president and he recently summoned all the osu leaders and they all obeyed the short slave.
Ur highest political office holder, ikweremadu was @ the house of Tinubu (another slave) seeking political mentoring.
The SW "(the region of the slaves)" is the most developed and contribute the highest IGR to the nation Economy, unlike the deserted and desolate SE whose people are on mass Exodus.
The masters (igbo) are continually seeking freedom from the so called slave. Pathetic
I think I prefer this kind of slavery. LOL

Craftsmen at Aba, Abia State as well as traders at Onitsha, Anambra State should get prepared to receive new apprentices from Ekiti State.

This is being promoted as a bid by the Ekiti State government to ensure that Ekiti youths are trained to be self-reliant and look beyond government patronage, and to also prove that, aside education, developing unskilled Ekiti youths does not warrant only sending them overseas for training.
The idea was floated by Hon. (Dr.) STB Omotoso, Ekiti State House of Assembly Member-elect (Oye 1 Constituency, PDP) during a courtesy visit by Ekiti State Assembly Members-elect to the corporate head office of Vanguard Media Ltd, Kirikiri, Apapa, Lagos, on Wednesday last week.
Hon. Omotosho, while condemning critics of Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State for their criticisms of what has come to be termed “stomach infrastructure”, said such criticisms give the concept a narrow definition as it goes beyond giving gifts of bags of rice and other foodstuff to voters to influence their choice.
“Stomach infrastructure is narrowly defined by critics of Governor Fayose”, Hon. Omotosho said. “It is not all about just feeding people or giving gifts to people. If one should expatiate on the concept, it entails providing the people not only with the basic necessities of life after election, but also empowering them by making them self-reliant, with the best education and training and then giving them employment, which the Fayose government is presently engaged in.”

Speaking further, the lawmaker-elect said the Ekiti State government did not need to waste scarce resources sending Ekiti unskilled youths to Europe or America for training. “Instead, they could be sent to Aba to learn how to make shoes and bags, and to Onitsha to master trade; while those who are qualified and competent will be given local contracts. This is the concept behind the so-called ‘stomach infrastructure’ and not just distributing gift items. Stomach infrastructure goes on after election. It is about helping the poor. It is about engaging them in what can feed them earn a living. That’s what Fayose wants to continue doing. He needs stability to achieve for no progress can be made during crisis. We have had enough crisis and we want peaqce in our state.”

Aba, well known for its handicrafts, is reputed for its handmade shoes and handbags. It is also a major manufacturing and trading centre in South-Eastern Nigeria, with its Ariaria International Market as the largest market in West Africa, seconded by the Onitsha Main Market.

And Onitsha is known for its trading, where the average traders are known to bring in at least six consignments of 40 tonnes (40-feet containers) of goods annually. Some of the major importers do more than 20 consignments of 40 tonnes of goods per year.
Interestingly, the multi-billion dollar economies of both commercial towns are dominated by craftsmen and merchants many of whom do not have university education, but rely on apprenticeship to cut their teeth in the trades before going on their own.
It will be recalled that “stomach infrastructure” crept into Nigeria’s political lexicon following the 2014 Ekiti State governorship election when voters were given gifts of bags of rice and other foodstuff by office contenders to influence their choice. Both Fayose and Fayemi, the then governor gave out gifts. But Fayose’s became so prominent that it was believed to have led to his victory.
Fayose sending Ekiti youths to Aba and Onitsha in furtherance of his stomach infrastructure will be a move which is believed will enjoy the backing of the incoming Ekiti State House of Assembly, as all 26 members-elect were elected on PDP ticket, like the governor.
The youths, according to the said plan, are expected to return to Ekiti State after completing their apprenticeship, to re-enact the Aba and Onitsha phenomenon in their home state.

The above article is the truth of the matter.

Posting virtual world companies existing only on internets websites is not going to paper the cracks.

Nigeria source virtually every of its manufactured goods from importation abroad, which is why the naira failed once petrodollars for importation crashed.

The few indigenous sourced needs are known as Aba made and Igbo made. wink

Posting virtual companies and assigning bogus billions of worth to them in the light of the above facts is rather funny and unintelligent.

All the ones listed on this 95 page thread are not enough, you want yours specially mailed to you. BTW what are you doing here, your own thread is low on patronage. Gerrarahia and go back to your thread or go wash some thing of mine.pained loser.

Laaaal..... Fayose's political foolishness at work. At the end of the day, Ekiti brothers went to teach ibo fake product makers how to make quality shoes.

Fayose is in touch with the reality, that you want One Nigeria to continue to exist, so that you can run away from or mask.

Petrodollars shortage brought your Osun Virtual GDP propaganda crashing! https://www.nairaland.com/1439842/osun-state-gdp-higher-than grin

Imagine what Nigeria disintegration with loss of Lagos port monopoly will do to your current Virtual world companies existing only on the pages of internet, that no average Nigerian know or use their products. grin

You always hear Igbo people screaming "invest in Aba market!!!"
The same market that has spoiled the very name of Nigeria.Tell me what's there to invest in when they can't invent their own ideas but instead run to duplicate authentic goods??

They want easy money always this has resulted to them tarnishing the image of the country...
Come to think of it,90%of all criminals caught both home and abroad are Igbos.

They have the energy to work for money,but not new ideas to generate cash...I once told my friend that an Igbo man bagged 3 Phd's...and her reply was "pronounce the persons name"after i did,she said"the person is an Edo man,or is it possible for an Igbo person to leave money and east years in school for a sheet of paper called certificate??

You don't need evidence for this. The recession has opened every ones eyes. Most of the remaining surviving business are igbo owned. Metrics don't lie, how many of your so called start ups can survive outside Lagos? A good venture capitalist knows a good product when he sees one, how many foreign investors has poured money into your start ups. Igbos know their strengths, and are taking very much advantage of it... Even it means buying off all the corner shops in the SW

No ibo trader can survive outside of Lagos, Ibadan or Ogun.


Ogun state emerge as new industrial hub of Nigeria

Tell me an ibo state that can match this.
