What is it about Igbos and buying and selling?



The strange thing is that out of all my siblings,I'm the only one that has no "trading gene".

I couldn't sell anything.

My brothers and sisters all sold things right from boarding school and by college,the boys were richer than their peers

They were barbers,photographers,selling anything from shirts to shoes to transporting livestock in pick up vans for slaughter on weekends and during the long strikes.

I had absolutely no interest in it.



Maybe I was switched at birth.

Both of my parents had regular jobs and are college educated but always bought and sold everything from bags of cement to bags of Beans grin

That is the core spirit of an Igbo man for you.
