Be it Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo, chances are that over 97 percent of the people who have and will comment on this thread are either slaves to these wayo corperations or just unemployed.

Yet they are here blabbing about how their tribesmen own Morgan Stanley.

kettykings: controlling Nigeria's economy simply put is exercising domineering influence over a large part of the economy .
Make no mistakes no group has a 100% control on Nigeria's Generator Economy what some groups do is to exert influence over certain areas of the economy.

based on this the Niger deltans can be said to exert a larger influence over the whole economy of Nigeria
while other groups like igbos , yorubas , hausa/fulani exert some minimal influence.

The Niger Deltans own and control 3 of Nigeria's biggest banks and media houses and some telcos like Etisalat and Visafone
The yorubas own 1 of Nigeria's biggest bank and some smaller media houses and in partnership with the north own Glo
The Igbos own 2 large sized banks and a media house while owning considerable shares in MTN , swift and control Nigeria movie empire worth Billions of Naira

He actually missed the point, the Niger delta is not homogenous rather its a conglomeration of different tribes. Zenith bank is owned by Jim Ovia(Igbo from Delta) and UBA is owned by Tony Elumelu(also Igbo from delta) Thisday media house is also owned by another Igbo from Delta(Nduka Irabor) other Igbos from Delta include Ernest Azudialu owner of Nestoil petroleum company and others i cant remember now.

Such a stoopid question. How can a particular tribe control the economy of a sovereign state? Is the economy remote controlled? As far as I am concerned, the economy is controlled by the economic policy of the Government.

The Hausas control politics, I agree with that but the Yorubas in my opinion do not control either banking, finance nor It, I will give you reasons.
The Yorubas own and dominate First bank, Gtbank, FCMB and wema bank(more or less a regional bank) while Igbos own and dominate Zenith bank, Diamond bank, Fidelity bank and UBA.
While on IT, its kinda 50/50 between them.

Personally, I will tell you that two major tribes control and run things as far as the economy is concerned! The Yorubas hold sway in the Oil and Gas sector (which remains the driving force behind our economy), banking and finance, food and beverages and telecommunication while the Hausa-Fulanis command the army, immigration,civil service,oil & gas (with the Yorubas),customs and most government parastatals and agencies! These two major tribes in my own candid opinion are indeed in charge!


How does a waste control telecommunications

For the mere fact that Mike Adenuga (a Yoruba man) controls a major service provider (Globacom) in this Country then you will understand where I am coming from.

Yoruba.
Re: Hausa, Igbo Or Yoruba, Which Ethnic Group Controls Nigeria's Economy? by QuotaSystem: 9:25am On Sep 06, 2015
It's the Hausa/Fulani (and Yoruba)

They control politics, politics and government policies dictate the economy to a very significant extent.

That is why everyone is blaming PMB for the economy, especially as ministers have not been appointed.

Furthermore they control the institutions of governance, the military, aviation, civil service, oil and gas, cement, agriculture etc.
