Yoruba led by Tinubu should use the political power they just grabbed for the betterment of all Nigerians or did they grab power for bragging sake and to mock Igbos?

The Igbos focus on money has left them in a very vulnerable state. Upon all the poelt ifeanyi Ubah had as CEO capital oil Al it takes is one small Yoruba boy or young Hausa man to wreck him in 24 Horus , capital oil is a good case.

When you are singing an praisimg he likes of E Mony , Obi Cubana , Emeka Offor , INNOSON. Let me.tell.you boldly these men are at the mercy of the simple people in power.

Are you aware that the airpeace CEO ca be wrecked by the minister of aviation?

This is why it appears as.if the Igbos are left behind..the have too many rich me but too few powerful ones. The few powerful ones they have are just average politicians like senators, tha is all.

The Igbos need to imbibe and under the.real.differnce between money and power.

Otherwise they will continue to lag behind. They have no one in key sectors who is powerful
The aviation sector proves that money is greater than political power. Yoruba inherited total control of aviation after the war but ruined everything. Today Igbos took over the sector during a regime considered unfavourable to Igbos. You won't catch up anytime soon

Money is a form of power, called financial or economic power, and in a democracy, economic power is more important, are you the governor of Enugu state, don't all Igbo states have governors, isn't that political powers, don't we have at least 15 senators, are those not political power. The president of Nigeria is not the only aspect of political power, and economic power and industry is more enduring than presidential power that you would relinquish in 8 years, south east has the most advanced indigenous industries in Nigeria

Finally the scholar in you has come out . Good . Now to respond..

Yes monetary power exists but it is no economic power .


Monetary power and economic power are related but distinct concepts:

1. Monetary Power
- Monetary power primarily relates to a country's or entity's control and influence over its currency, monetary policy, and financial stability.

It includes factors such as the strength and stability of a country's currency, its ability to control inflation, manage interest rates, and maintain foreign exchange reserves.
- Tools - Central banks play a crucial role in wielding monetary power through tools like interest rate adjustments and currency interventions.
-Impact: Monetary power can affect a nation's ability to manage its economy, control inflation, attract foreign investment, and respond to financial crises.

2. Economic Power
-Economic power encompasses a broader range of factors that contribute to a country's overall economic strength and influence on the global stage.
It includes elements like the size and diversity of an economy, its industrial and technological capabilities, trade relationships, infrastructure, labor force, and natural resources.
- Economic power goes beyond monetary aspects and takes into account a country's capacity to produce goods and services, engage in trade, innovate, and shape economic policies.
- Economic power influences a nation's ability to influence global trade, establish economic partnerships, attract foreign investment, and maintain a high standard of living for its citizens.

In essence, monetary power is a subset of economic power. While monetary power focuses on currency management and financial stability, economic power considers a broader array of economic factors that collectively define a nation's strength and influence in the global economy. Both are important for a country's overall economic well-being and global standing, but they address different aspects of economic strength.

Reading your submission honestly make me sick, Nigeria is an economic and monetary entity, this same Nigeria the Igbos and the rest are part of it. The currency of a nation drives its values from its economic resources and as such they become a sort of synergy.

The Igbos controls the economy more than any other single tribe, money is how resources is exchange as money don't really exist, the Igbos has higher middle class and more local industries, those are indices for economic and financial metrics. He that have economic or finacial power would certainly be of recon that part of why Hitla detested the Jews and why the jews are still relevant to this day

If you are not productive, your success would vanish, they built some houses in the 70s today they can't change the roofs, so if success is not built from the scratch and having a pattern it would crumble, if your success depends on political power or lack of it in a democracy then that success is not real and would crumble ones such political power is gone thats why they always agitate to stay in power becuase without it, they are non productive

The funniest thing is that these fools talk about political power only in the Nigerian DYSTOPIAN context, without mentioning that those tribes who have chosen to exclusively pursue political power in Nigerian by hook or crook have had also become the most economically pitiful people, not only in Nigeria, but the entire world.

Only a certified fool would say that Igbos pursued money at the cost of Nigerian political power. The average Igbo ranks highest in every standard of living index in Nigeria. No place is developed or can be developed in Nigeria without the capital and active input from the Igbo. That's a well recognized fact. There is no other
Nationality in Africa upon whom every other depends upon to move the wheels of commerce other than the Igbo.
That is real power.

That the Igbo man is powerless is something only a naive bunch of fools can say.

Those ones don't know Whatsup, I only engage them once in a while, do they think we could have recovered from a civil war, come back strong and now compete and even outperform those who didn't fight a war lol. They don't know how far the Igbos have gone.

They say political power, as if any part of AlaIgbo is ruled by outsider, must we rule Nigeria, aren't there over 300 tribes in Nigeria.

Economy is way more strategic but they don't know, the power of the president can't give real economic change of fortune yet Igbos have invaded all economic space such that even if you push all development to Lagos, Igbos would be on ground to seize it, in fact wherever you take the economic power to in the federal Republic, we are already there and there's is nothing anyone can do cause we can as well fight back.

The presidential system we are the one that put it there and the ones who understand how it works the power of president is very limited
