You do not stray far from your family trade. I think you guys should import gala, and start selling it on bridges in the US. You could commercialize that Poo mate. On second thought, you might declare biafra in the middle of the US

Flat head?    I am not even full Igbo. I am a mixture of Ibibio and Kalabari, maybe that is why I do not have this flat head you speak of. U find that from among the Anambra guys.

LOL, my aunt actually works in admissions at UMD. Man you wasted your time. In such a bad economy, you should not be going to a mediocre business school, but let me keep my mouth shut.

Thats your business. Inbtw rarely do Igbo people start conglomerates. That is the forte of Yoruba people. You guys own Alaba I admit. Do you want me to list Yoruba dominance of the Nigerian industry- I did it for baba mekyusxx, and I have time to do it for you. Infact, I love you guys die. You helped a brokeass boy like me have the opportunity to buy all this Playstation games.

Interesting topic. Especially the conversation that is occurring right now as we speak. And all this talk of flat heads. Are we Igbos predisposed to having flat heads?

Mediocre business school? The Smith School of Business is in the top 20. Am staying local.

Rubbish, who said Igbo people don't start conglomerates. Whenever we are in town, we get together for a meeting and plan to buy up all the land in the town. Why fight over political spoils when we can buy up all the land right from underneath you all. You Yoruba people cannot even trust one another. My Yoruba friends would trust an Igbo man before they trust their own brother. Your people are wicked ooooooo

As predisposed as Ashkenazim Jews are to Cystic Fibrosis

I would not say so, case in point, I do not have a flat head. Am I an outlier? My picture is for all to see. Generalized statements are never good. It is like saying that all Yorubas are dark as midnight, or all Swedish people have blonde hair. It is never good to make a generalized statement about a people.

Now it is time to go back on topics and the poster of this thread is highly ignorant. That my brethren did not need to dignify him with a response.

True we dont trust each other. C'est la vie. My mother always told me not to trust anyone, including her but myself. That independence has paid off so much in my life.

Ok, I dont agree with the latter part of the Posters comments. I believe the igbo could field brilliant presidents/leader if they are allowed to. So could any ethnic group. And I am very well aware that the Igbo are very much marginalized in tyhe power structure of Nigeria. However, I agree that the igbo extraction have not shown the superb leadership skills that Yoruba or Hausa people have. Leadership is not about leading, thats childish crap- its all about exploiting, so maybe its cultural per se?

the igbo have been more communal than the Yoruba or Hausa who have been organized into Feudal and State system, so this would make sense. As Ezeuche pointed out, trust is a problem in Yoruba culture possibly.

Generalizations might be wrong but they can sometimes be correct. You culture does impose some effects on how you think. I can never thing the same way as a Caucasian who grew up in Germany no matter how long I stay in Germany.

I'm forced to agree with the bolded. Rare "honest to God" observation from the most unlikely corner.

That explains why Ogbulafor is resigning even before being convicted. He didn't get it.
You are right, Igbos still DON"T get it.

I look toward the West, I see no leadership. I look toward the North, none can be found.

Have you ever thought that many Igbos do not want to be a part of this system? That could answer your system. Remember that prior to independence and after independence, the Igbo had many nationalistic leaders. Some one say that the Ndi Igbo were the most patriotic in terms of nationalistic tendencies. That is why we are found throughout Nigeria. As some people say, if there is not any Igbo living in an area, then the place may be bad for business.

However, I do agree with your assessment about the Feudalistic and State system of both the Yoruba and Hausa. It is easier for both of these people to follow a strongman than an Igbo would due to our democratic nature. Our republican form of governance has served us for over a thousand years, and I do not see any change coming to our culture on that front.

Generalizations are always wrong, because there are always differences. I tend to stay away from a generalized statement. Now I may mention a cultural trait, but I will not speak in such blanket terms. Especially when a people is as diverse as the Ndi Igbo.

bawomolo:

"influence" is a diplomatic alternative for "exploit". You use one when you are still at the hoodwinking stage, while you use the other after the fact -when you know you have the upperhand and your enemy can't do shiot.

mekuszyx:

The West may be disorganized, but the Core North is not disorganized. There leadership is firmly in power. The Hausa have the best form of governance when it comes to people following the will of their elite. This is something that is most admirable and scary at the same time when discussing Hausa-Fulani culture. Such a cohesive group, it just boggles the mind that a people can form a collective will through their religion and leadership.

That is what the "owners of Nigeria" has been using. I have to understand it first before I can design a way to topple it.

Every Yoruba eats Amala is a pretty good generalization. I am sure if I made a good generalization of igbo people you would probably not care. But when I make bad generalizations you guys get indignant.

Nation-states cannot work in such a way. No nation state in the world is communal or truly democratic, even the origin of democratic thought- the United States cannot claim true democracy. Such types of democracy can only work in small villages or small towns. Get with it- we are in the 21st Century. The West won, and we gotta do things like the West. Exploitation is the rule of the game- every tribe for themselves, this is not christmas

You give too much credit to the hausa fulani. We have seen how united they are with the incapacitation of Yaradua and eventual death and all the undercurrent. We have seen how united they are, yet Atiku and Buhari cannot form a credible opposition party.
