apart from the second Niger bridge that this administration is constructing for the East, which other elephant projects are they doing for them

Onitsha/Enugu road, Anambra, Kogi, Abuja road, Enugu, Aba, Portharcourt road, Enugu International airport expansion and upgrading, Federal secretariat in Awka , Nnewi / Okigwe road , federal housing scheme etc.

Sammy07:
But it's not only Lagos that igbos brethren go to?
They are in all SW states.

How do you explain that?

Igbos are in every states in Nigeria they control trade in Nigeria, most areas they are not better than their home states, just like Chinese that's all over the country reaping Nigerians, is Nigeria better than China

wink2015:
When did ports like the Warri ports become EASTERN PORTS?

or the one at Onne Rivers state?

These ports are in the South South region ( Niger delta )

Although, it will still serve the economic interest of the South East region.

I feel your pain

Sonnyboom:
My brother not to disrespect you n your thread but the hatred is only among you Igbo when it comes to posting tourist attraction. Only God know who curse you with endemic hate, acute bigotry n extreme foolishness such as we witness from your tribesmen.

This is faceless forum most of them are not Igbos, they may be using Igbo names, we understand the game most of them are playing.

Okoroawusa:

I feel your pain and Jealous below is Agulu Lake and hotel, such doesn't exist in your state

Okoroawusa:

Dr. Iheatu Obioha, the founder and President of Bluefield Associates, Inc, Dr Iheatu Obioha is the man behind Clear Essence Cosmetics USA Inc, the manufacturers of Clear Essence, Adure and Chimere skin care products.
Clear Essence Skin Care System was developed to address the skin care concerns of men and women of color. , graduated from the University of Maryland with a Business Administration degree. He then took a different direction from most Nigerians that came to America to pursue their educational dreams by not returning to his native country. He decided to take the entrepreneurial route of working for himself in America. He saw an opportunity in the emerging ethnic cosmetics category.
In the early 1970s, African nations were developing huge appetites for ethnic hair care products made in America by companies such as SoftSheen, Pro-Line, Luster, etc. These products were difficult to buy in most Sub-Saharan African countries, as the U.S. based companies did not have distribution outlets. Dr. Obioha started his career as a trader taking suitcases of these products to countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon. As his sales increased in these countries, so did his knowledge of doing business in Africa and local market needs. He eventually had his “Aha” moment with his interaction with the local cosmetic distributors. He discovered a huge void for skin care products that address the problems of people of African descent.

To start the process, Dr. Obioha consulted with some of Europe’s dermatologists and chemists to determine what defines the skin of people of color and to categorize the primary skin concerns of dark skinned women. Scientifically, Caucasian skin is physically and physiologically different than darker skin, or that of African descent. There is a distinct chemical difference between Caucasian skin, which produces a compound called pheomelanin, and dark skin, which produces a compound called eumelanin. The overproduction of eumelanin in skin of people of African descent results in problems such as hyperpigmentation, excessive oiliness, dry patches, and razor bumps.
Bluefield Associates Inc., launched the Clear Essence® Skin Care brand in 1992 and introduced it to the Nigerian market first. The initial line of products consisted of a cleansing medicated bar soap, a fade cream, and a skin beautifying milk (lotion). The 3 SKUs were specifically formulated to treat dark spots, uneven skin tone, and blemishes. Within the last 20 years, the Clear Essence® company has grown to 20 SKUs, distributed in over 20 African countries, 7 European countries, and 500 beauty supply stores in North America. Currently, the bulk of our business in done via physical shipping of products from the Ontario, Calif. plant to the distributors around the world with 70 percent of the sales realized within the African continent as the brand enjoys a level of regard in that region. There is a growing and latent demand for Clear Essence Skin Care products in North America, driven by immigration and travel to and from Europe and Africa.

Globally, people of color are exponentially increasing in population, buying power and access to disposable income. Historically, the larger main market, cosmetic companies had over looked this emerging consumer but are now rushing to deliver products to this group through R& initiatives and marketing strategies that are very inclusive of this demographic. Additionally, these big cosmetic companies are buying market entry via acquisition of small ethnic brands that enjoy consumer loyalty. For example, L’Oreal and Revlon have purchased black-owned firms and brands such as SoftSheen, Pro-Line, etc. Bluefield Associates, Inc their products are manufactured at the company’s FDA-approved, 40,000 square-feet facility in Ontario, California United States, where their chemists take great pride in carefully studying black skin including its structure, to develop the best products for people of African descent.
Bluefield Associates Inc., provides private label manufacturing services for ethnic skin, hair, botanical and OTC products. From development through production and delivery, our team and high-tech FDA approved faculty combine to ensure efficient, consistent and quality products. Our fully equipped Quality Control laboratory provides the most rigorous raw material and finished product testing in the industry, assuming top quality results.

Notice how Chagoury group never suffer from archaic tribalistic policies meant to frustrate their businesses.

Just imagine if Chagoury family were Igbos.

It really sucks to live in a country where a non indigene is given more opportunities and special policies to succeed while those who literally built the country and played an active role in its independence are marginalized.

Imagine if it was Igbo name, this thread would be in 4th page by now, when the OP asked no black man in the board of directors, read the mod response, imagine if it was Igbo family and no Yoruba on the board imagine what would have been their response, same people justify when they force Yoruba leader in Igbo dominated markets, see how they are silent here the Eko Atlantic city funding 100% by same Chagoury Group, their first cutting edge building was acquired by Igbo man Afren Tower 1, it now been use by Slavic Petroleum as head office, Salvic is owned by ABC Orjiakor, chairman Seplat plc, he was the first occupant in the ATC.

I think Innoson wont grow with its factory located at Nnewi. As it is, they are probably running extremely high costs they probably dont have the managerial competence to track.
Trouble comes when a company with the same business model challenges them nationally from Ogun State. For example, if Proforce leverages its strengths from the military side and gets into 85% value added manufacturing of civillian private and commercial vehicles. It's a real threat and there is no sentiment in.business. it is painful to lose money.

You can take west african market from Ogun State bit you would always be a struggling small time player at Nnewi

Nnewi is home to many major indigenous manufacturing industries including Ibeto Group of Companies, Cutix and ADswitch, Uru Industries Ltd, Tummy Tummy noodles, Babymate diaper, Omata Holdings Ltd, Cento Group of Companies, Coscharis of Companies Group, Innoson Group of Companies, Ebunso Nig. Ltd, John White Industries, Ejiamatu Group of Companies, Chicason Group, Louis Carter Group, etc. The great majority of industrialists in the cluster of spare parts factories in Nnewi are also traders, and most of these traders are producing one or more of the products they specialize in marketing as traders (usually motor vehicle parts), and most began by distributing their products through their preexisting distribution networks. Nnewi is part of eastern Nigeria's industrial axis. The town has through culturally grounded institutions that act as sophisticated networks expanded to include an international dimension through trading relations with exporters from Asia. Over the last decade, the town of Nnewi has experienced relatively rapid industrialization. In excess of many medium-to-large-scale industries have been established across a variety of sectors. Since 1970, Nnewi residents have controlled approximately 80 to 90 percent of the motor-parts trade in Nigeria. Nkwo Nnewi Market is the major import and wholesale point for motor spare parts in Nigeria. The industrialists of Nnewi are adapting foreign technology to local needs, providing employment to thousands, and making available goods and services which are relevant actual needs of the Nigerian citizens. The first indigenous car manufacturing plant is located in the city, while the first wholly Made-in-Nigeria motorcycle was manufactured in Nnewi by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI).

Innoson source most of their parts locally, especially Nnewi that is known for auto parts manfacturers and market which doesn't exist in Ogun or any southwestern states

Most of you are really dumb Nnewi is a town in Anambra not a state, Anambra host the biggest market in West Africa, dwarf Ogun state in normal GDP, Ogun doesn't have major market, or consumer strength, industries that found it way to Ogun is just because of closeness to Lagos and cheap land, Anambra is an industrial and commercial city, Innoson made his money in Anambra built his massive plant, you most be "" by comparing that mushroom Proforce to Innosson.

Wickedtruths:
Igbo sons?
Major stakeholders?

You love using high-sounding adjectives like world class, ultra modern, bla bla bla.

FYI, the Chairman of Julius Berger is actually a Yoruba man o.

Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu being the Chairman doesn't make him the biggest Nigeria shareholder, he is far below Ernest Azudialu, we know Adenuga's cousin in the board is representing interest of IBB family.
