Your political affluence and dominance have not helped your people. Go to your roots and teach them how you made money. That's how sensible people reason.

Where do you think that ''northern domination'' comes from? It comes from them having a bigger base and foundation of wealthy elite than you do. You must expand your elite to expand your political dominance. How do you expand your elite? By sharing your millions of dollars with your family and close kinsmen - empowering them to be as powerful as YOU - rather than banking it in London and pretending to them that that you are broke and struggling, like these Igbo millionaires do.

The northern dominance has nothing to do with the handful of rich people they have, the British created Nigeria with northern dominance in mind , right from the creation of Nigeria till date northern region are more populated and more united by religion making them strong politically, the South is divided and weak politically, the South is ten times richer than North , the weakness in South is lack of Unity the strength in the North is their unity nothing more it has nothing to do with riches

You're wrong. While the British did play a big part in enthroning northern dominance, the north has MAINTAINED and strengthened that dominance through close patronage within their elite circles as well as elite expansion and consolidation.

Plus their millionaire/billionaire class is NOT ''a handful'' by any stretch of the imagination, or they wouldn't be dominating YOUR elite.

Alhaji X has 100 million dollars in his account. He will share 50 million dollars with his ten brothers. Each one will have 5 million dollars.

Suddenly a family of one millionaire becomes a family of 11 millionaires, ten of whom you've never heard of. These are the type who pull up in a Ferrari at a club and everyone is wondering who the fck is that? Just some .......unknown relative of a northern big shot.

Chief Okonkwo has 100 million dollars in his account. He will share less than 1 million dollars with his ten brothers.

A family of one millionaire REMAINS a family of one millionaire. The rest just getting by.

Which family will dominate the other after a few years? After a few decades?

The ONLY thing preventing the north from capitalising on this advantage as I said earlier, is religion. The South lacks that religious burden, so if they adopted the northern way of elite expansion through empowering your closest, they could easily gain the political influence that will give them the power to transform their regions.

Right now, individual selfishness and extreme individualism, even in business, is stopping them.

My friend I repeat northerner dominance has nothing to do with riches, their dominance is pure strength in Unity and population something the South lacks, northern Unity and political strength made them wealthy, in the 70s when Nigerian economy was in the hands of Europeans Lebanese, Indians, Nigeria introduced what was known as indigenization degree foreigners were forced to sell shares to Nigeria indigenes igbos had no money to buy any cause the lost everything in the war most of the wealthy Nigerians both from North and South West their wealth can be traced to the Indigenization degree .

rosinkkit:


No need to argue too much with you. My point remains valid. Dominance ALWAYS has to do with 'riches'. ''Strength in unity'' can only get you so far.

The list of a Haier Thermocool chest freezer is #100000k and you'd see upto 20 of freezers and other electronics In an electronic shop.. if you sum that up, you will have close to 5million...

Add two or three of his shops together and your deadbrain will fail you..


You don't know anything....

jimyjames:

And the wailing continues


Igbo apprenticeship is the best in the world, you don't give your brother fish you teach him to fish , that's why there are more poor people in the North than in igboland

jimyjames:


The igbo apprenticeship system has helped the igbos more than any generational wealth transfer you talk about, besides what generational wealth transfer are you talking about cause first generation igbo billionaires lost everything in the civil war and had nothing to transfer, ojukwu who inherited his fathers wealth lost it to biafra war

Yankee101:


Lol. Not all the electronics are cash bought. A good number are credit purchases. You settle the manufacturers or big dealers after you sell

MalcoImX:


The North doesn't need an Obi Cubana.

We don't want more night clubs. A single borehole in any needy village is more valuable than all those Sodomic and Gomoric spectacles.

Yankee101:
1. The hausas are richer
2. They show off less
3. They give more

rosinkkit:


Why spoil his fun bro? Let him think having goods in your shop worth a million dollars makes you a millionaire.

Yankee101:


Ojukwu's assets were in Zaria. Soho hotel etc. They're still standing

jimyjames:

As long as Nigerian politics is concerned northerner will always dominate the South politically, it has always being like that, that's how the British created it to be , it has nothing to do with riches

Mchawi:


Everything you said is nonsense. Go and take a sit oga

Yankee101:


Nope. That's not the reason. The simple reason is education

rosinkkit:


I think you should return to the kitchen where you belong, Madam.

rosinkkit:


You can breach their unity, if you had financial superiority, by buying off their major players, like they do yours today.

Money talks. Bullshit walks.

rosinkkit:


Dumbo, did you even read the headline?

And no. ''Wealth transfer is not wealth transfer.''

This thread relates to actual dollar millionaires and billionaires, not you and your fellow broke ass spare parts dealers dashing 100,000 naira to your apprentice.

jimyjames:


It's not about education, yorubas are as educated as the igbos, and don't forget there are wealthy igbos that are not that educated , they started from Petty business to multi millionaire spare part importers, innocent chukwuma the owner of innosson is not that educated

selemempe:
we know how Obi Cubana made Cubana chief priest a rich man. Please tell us one northerner who BUA group chairman made a rich man

Mumu boy. You use to have a yyeske account where you claimed to be from Anambra. We didn't even know you were an abokì unity begger from kebbi

peacekante:
What Bishop of Ozu bulu has done alone in his home town, if any northerner in his level do half of it, he will be a Messiah

Mchawi:


Give to who? How come we have almajaris in the North yet you claim they give more?

juman:
In wealth transfer to others, igbos are the best in nigeria.
