joyandfaith: The hausa also have investments outside their businesses but you wouldn't know. Who do you think, is the owner of some airlines, some car dealerships with offices in lagos. The biggest pinapple farm in cross river is owned by a hausa man. You wouldn't know because most hausa businesses are highly organized with structures in places. 1 Like |

thebosstrevor1: The bolded is an elementary or unresearched classification of what actual obtain from certain activities in Nigeria. The Abakiliki rice was adjudged best in the world by British in 1951. There is Nkalagu yam. The issue is not production of certain produce but the market to dispose the produce. Republic of Igboland does not need the crude oil to grow as a society. |

Bonesbreaker: If you can not make the east dubia when you are inside Nigeria, when it is outside, it won't still be Dubai. It is southerners that know igbo people in business because they trade there in large numbers especially in petty trading but in the north, the hausa man controls trading, they are the commercial powerhouse of the north. Mention any business that does not involve alchohol and drugs that you think the igbos are doing in the south,the hausas are also doing it in abundant in the north. Most igbo traders in the north know that, so where do you think they get their supplies from? |

thebosstrevor1: The only business I think Hausa could remotely have outside the northern region of Nigeria is suya, tomato or onion business. Even they do not have a stranglehold on tomato or onion business. |

Okwyjesus:Igbos are traders and the simplest business economy is trading. Trading add very little to economy. North control the biggest stake in Nigeria's food commodities and in as much as 200m people will eat at least once in a day then you know foodstuff is a lucrative business, Northerners are the main actors in transport with more than 90% of Nigerian trailers belongs to them, most petroleum tankers belong to Northerners, most oil marketers in Nigeria today are Northerners because the biggest strategy of Northerners is population factor; it is recently revealed that road transport generate more money much more than air transport in Nigeria. Northerners are 80-90% farmers, more than 70% of domestic fish we consume in Nigeria is from Baga, Borno state. Our population make farming profitable due to high consumption. Nigeria has $400b GDP; look at the GDP of different sectors and commodities in Nigeria and assess who control the major stake of Nigeria's economy: Accommodation, food, transportation and real estate: 12.2%, Education, health, science and technology: 6.3%, Farming, forestry and fishing : 30.5%, Manufacturing, mining and quarrying: 11.3% Retail, maintenance, repair, and operations: 24.9% Managerial, finance and insurance: 4.2% Telecommunication, arts and entertainment: 1.8% Other services: 8.8%. Going by the given statistics above it can be seen that Education, health, science and technology, Entertainment, manufacturing, Telecommunication, arts and entertainment that ur people claim to have control are not up to 30.5% of GDP contributed by farming and fishing mainly control and done by Northerners while all other businesses ur people do, Northerners are either into them en masse or are the main actors. Oil is a natural resources which u can't in anyway be proud of hardwrk in it; Northerners control the sector because they venture into anything that brings profit and the same with port and other government sectors, they don't attain the positions at platter of gold but by hardwork, passion and purposeful style. Dangote and BUA alone make up more than 5% of the whole Nigeria's GDP. Only poverty ravaged person will sit down and make this unsubstantiated allegations against North, you people should go back to farm and learn how money flow, venture into productive business.

Idiko1: We are in 2021 and you are here talking about abakiliki rice of 1951. So you think the quality of abakiliki rice in 1951 is the same rice in 2021 |

thebosstrevor1: The worst thing to have happened to eastern region of Nigeria and all Igboland is being part of the shithole called Nigeria. Nothing kills economic plans on earth like silly government policies. Since end of Nigeria/Biafra war, the polices of the federal government led by the goons from northern region had stacked against Ndigbo in particular and eastern region in general. I state with confidence that Igboland and defunct eastern region of Nigeria will tourism hotspot if the shithole called Nigeria disintegrates. 1 Like |

Idiko1: Hausa petty traders sell agricultural produce in the south, just like how igbo petty traders, sell raw rice and beans in the south. To burst your bubble, the raw rice and beans are supplied by Northerners, the beans comes from the north, while the licensed importers of Thailand rice are owned by Northerners. |
Re: So Called Igbo Commercial Strength by Nobody: 12:31pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
Idiko1: The last time you were shouting how you own Nigeria because you think you own the trading routes of Nigeria. Now, you have gone back to your victimized mentality of blaming Nigeria for igbo woes even though in some part of Nigeria they are engaged in businesses without harrassment. |

Re: So Called Igbo Commercial Strength by Idiko1: 12:32pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
thebosstrevor1: The bolded is self indictment of the cesspit called Nigeria. If Nigeria is anything to talk about, there could have been serious improvement of Abakiliki rice to match the best in the world today. However, we are talking about a dumbass country called Nigeria. This silly country must go in order to give way to serious nation states. |

You can imagine what someone woke up to Post on Saturday morning. This must have been in his mind all through the week. This is big time hallucinations about the economy of the east which has defied APC scorched earth policies |

Redcrafton: 60% of cargo go to the south east, this basically shows that most igbo trading takes places in the south east. In the north, trading is controlled by hausmen, trading in Nigeria is not only an igbo thing. The Northerners also imports goods through the ports and land borders, that is why in the northern region, the hausas dominate trade. Also, the hausa have many structured and organized businesses when compared to the igbos. |
Re: So Called Igbo Commercial Strength by Idiko1: 12:41pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
thebosstrevor1: The bolded clearly indicated your facts are based on conjectures. There is no Hausa petty trade in south who sells agricultural produce. Hausa are middle men so do Igbo chaps. The Hausa middle must depend on Igbo middle men whose trailers also ply north-south corridor to dispose their portion of the market. You really do not know anything about local business. In contrast in the north, Igbo middlemen had exclusively control on the products disposed in the northern region markets. |
Re: So Called Igbo Commercial Strength by Nobody: 12:43pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
Idiko1: Is it the job of Nigeria to improve abakiliki rice or the farmers. Anyway, there are loans for farmers in Nigeria especially rice farming, any rice farmer can have access to the loan to improve quality. |

How you all are busy trying to piont lines to the blind baffles me, leave this mofo to continue in his ignorance, Even havard business acknowledges that the supremacy of the igbo commercial prowess in the entire africa. In the first republic the eastern economy was growing by 40% yearly. Even the Alhajis in the north know to respect an igboman when they see them. I have been to kaduna, kano, sokoto ad Abuja if you can be honest you know the igbos are still holding there own in every of these places. Please quit all these hausaman yapping, cuz even the real hausa trader will tell you to fear (respect) the igbo man. 1 Like |

Idiko1: You are writing rubbish. You claim there is no hausa petty traders, so who then own the tomatoes, onion, bean, potatoes and fruit shops scattered all over for instance lagos, the hausa man owns them. Even the largest agricultural produce market in lagos are occupied by northern traders. Your last submit was hilarious, the hausa must depend on the igbo man guess you are trying to twist facts here even though you know that the about 98% of agricultural produce trading are controlled by hausa |
Re: So Called Igbo Commercial Strength by Nobody: 12:54pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
GeneralStan: I say you are living in delusions. Fear of the igbo traders in the north, maybe for cheating and fake products but for real business, hell No Why is that anytime, the igboman evo is touched he will start producing lies to uplift his ego back. You have never been to the places you mentioned, the igbo man business acumen stop at the south, when he enters the north, awaits him lot of competition, no wonder in order to survive he runs into partnership with hausa businessmen. |
