The funny thing is, those with lower cut off marks from the north will be the ones to run the govt tomorrow. They will be appointed judges, chief Justice, controllers, central bank heads, and heads of government agencies and ministries.
Are you still wondering why some want out of this evil forest? Why Nigeria is at the bottom of all good things and top of most bad issues in international/global ratings?
Why our health, education, electricity, waterworks, refineries, petroleum distribution, etc. are in tatters?
The above is a very graphic justification of the urgent need for Restructuring, at the very least!

Africa as a continent has got a host of billionaires who get little to no appraisals for their achievements. Some of these people acquired their wealth by been smart, dedicated, identifying opportunities, taking advantage of them at the right time, and leveraging on their networking talents to grow their businesses.

An example of such a billionaire is Cletus Ibeto, estimated to be worth about $3.7 billion dollars by Ventures Africa, as at 2013. His story teaches that no matter how your financial situation seems at any point in life, seeing and taking opportunities when others don’t, smart-hard work, perseverance, and the right network can change your status for good.

How Did Cletus Ibeto Start His Childhood Years?

Cletus Mmadubugwu Ibeto was born in Nnewi, Anambra state, Nigeria, on November 6th, 1952. Growing up as a child, he was enrolled in a secondary school to acquire a good education.

On January 22, 1966, at age 13, the highly spirited Ibeto got his school box and provisions all packed and set for school. Unknown to him, the academic phase of his life was about to crash, as his father decided that since he had multiple sons, he’d be better off sending some of them to school and sending one off to be a trader, so as not to put all his eggs in one basket.

Cletus was the unfortunate one who got booted from school, and was sent off to learn a trade. While his two elder brothers, Cyril and Louis continued their education.

This exclusion got Cletus angry and triggered a mild protest in him; by not eating for days, crying, begging, and climbing trees as though he planned to end his life.


His Apprentice Years

His father sent him off to a John Akamelu in Onitsha. He got to his master’s place in his school uniform. This prompted people to make funny jokes of him and eventually tag him with the name, “schoolboy”. The people in the market enjoyed their mockery because they believed people who go to school were weaklings seeking refuge, and could not compete in the world of trade.

Ibeto’s master decided to ensure he never thought of school again, and didn’t fail to use the rod when appropriate. Till this day, a mark of his masters whip remains on his arms, and he views it as a trophy, because the discipline he received brought out the best in him.

His time as an apprentice with his master was filled with a thorough study of the trade and an inculcation of sheer brilliance in him, which made him a formidable competitor in the market.

At the age of 17, his apprenticeship was shortened by the civil war. Since he was forced to join the army, his life was only saved because, he was sent on an errand by his superiors to go and get food. This little trip was the beginning of his path to greatness.


Another Trial

After the war, Cletus Ibeto decided to pursue his dreams of becoming a successful trader once again. To raise capital for his business, one of his elder brothers, Louis, gave him a leather handbag and a round neck suit, which Ibeto sold along with a packet of APC tablets he picked up at an evacuated hospital.

With the little he raised from the sales of these items, Ibeto was able to start and gradually grow his business in smart baby steps.



The Rise Of Cletus Ibeto

The government of Sehu Shagari triggered the big break for Cletus Ibeto. At the time, a policy in the country enabled the importation of goods without an import licence. This period helped Ibeto amass a great deal of fortune, which he subsequently put back into his business to grow it sporadically till the import licences were then reintroduced.

With the new development and his short quick success, he was able to secure an import licence worth 3 million Naira, at a time when when the value of a dollar was equal to 68 kobo.

With this scarce licence, he proceeded to import 65 containers of motor spare parts. His promptness to secure a licence greatly favoured him yet again because, shortly after he had secured his, the country made it almost impossible for anyone to secure an import licence, and to make matters worse for budding entrepreneurs, the government changed hands and the borders closed, temporarily shutting down all forms of importation.

His already available containers give him an upper hand, as he traded when others could not, and so enjoyed a great monopoly the system had unconsciously provided him.

This unexpected situation gave Cletus Ibeto an exceptional edge. In his interview with the Sun Newspaper, he said this: “That was the turning point for me.” he said. “Come and see the line-up of people who wanted the spare parts. I was packing money with cartons. There was no armed robbery then, no kid- napping. It was a seller’s market. And the mark-up was almost 500%, but people were buying! In fact, within two days of the arrival of the containers, I made four million pounds!!”

Today, Cletus Ibeto is not just a billionaire, but a patron to many other billionaires. According to Innocent Chukwuma of Innoson Motors, he said: “If you run into financial problems and go to him for help, he would help you out. Ask any of the big business persons from Nnewi and they would tell you the same thing. He has helped me too.”


The Growth Of His Empire

By the year 1995, the Ibeto group built a manufacturing factory and became the largest indigenous manufacturer of auto spare parts in Nigeria. The following year in October 2, 1996, he setup another manufacturing company called Ibeto Petrochemical Industries Limited; which manufactures oil lubricants and other various petroleum products both for local and international trade. The company has the largest liquid storage facility for petroleum products in Nigeria, with a large capacity to store over 60,000 metric tons, and is located at the Apapa Warf and the Ibru Jetty Complex in Lagos, Nigeria.

Today, Cletus Ibeto is one of the wealthiest people in Nigeria with a net worth in an excess of 3 billion dollars according to Ventures Africa (2013) and a vast conglomerate heavily placed in various sectors of the economy, such as cement, automotive parts, petrochemicals, hospitality, real estate, banking & finance, and oil & gas.



To Sum It Up

Cletus Ibeto’s success story just like many others, depicts the story of a man who sets himself on a journey to greatness and knows exactly how and when to take advantage of an opportunity.

Comments so far on herdsmen.
Miyetti Allah leader- we killed to stop them from stealing our cows.
We told them not to enact an anti-grazing law because we would fight back.
We demand compensation over our missing and stolen cows.
Vice president- Don't politicize the herdsmen issue.
The victims shouldn't retaliate, but pray for the attackers.
IG of NPF - its a mere communal clash.
Minister of Agriculture- we have decided to establish a cow colony across the nation to avert further killings.
Governor lalong- I warned them not to pass the anti grazing bill into law.
Buhari- Benue people please learn to accommodate your fellow country men.
Emir of kano- I and the sultan of sokoto are the permanent grand patron and figure head of miyetti Allah group. What did they do when they killed 100 of Fulani's in mabilla plateau at Adamawa/Taraba.?
Lai Mohammed- stop reporting killings by herdsmen to avoid further killings.
Mind you, no govt official apart from Benue state govt attended the mass funeral. Till date no condolence message from federal govt.
No suspect has been taken to court nor prosecuted.
Benue are now forming vigilante group for self defence, same thing KANU was invaded and mocked for.
Herdsmen would soon be given free land for private business, while other tribes would have to purchase theirs and still pay tax. Same thing Mr KANU cried over and he was sent to jail.
Between Nnamdi KANU and Nigerians that mocked who are now gullible, foolish and brainless?
Where is the one ness of Nigeria?
Am not ipob but we have to see things through common sense and truth not via tribal sentiments.
Southern Nigeria wise up!!!!! Enough of politics of divide and rule.

Me knowing am a man

A7:
The useless vindictive weakling has issued yet another derisory statement reeking of daftness in an attempt to leverage on the current crisis to demonize El-Rufai.

It is on record Jonathan has never been decisive in tackling any form of insecurity, at his watch the now dismantled Boko Haram metarmorphosizes from ragtag insurgents to fully fledged sophisticated foes that brings disrepute to the Nigerian army, attacking at will, displacing millions and forcing our brave soldiers to desert battlefields wearing women wrappers. All because of the ineptitude, incognizance and Dumbo's unwittness that pave way to unprecedented level of gargatuan pilfering by hordes of unscrupulous vultures on our common wealth.

Just see this quote from above pitiful statement:



Imagine the bolded, yet the useless fool went on to claim he has done well in tackling the menace.

The El-Rufai he loves to loathe and pathetically trying to pass the buck to has done amazingly well in tacking insecurity in his state, El-Rufai has not only device a solution to the problem by initiating a thorough investigation to the root cause, he has since embarked on implementing it heads on as well, and it is bearing fruit, insecurity in Kaduna today is receiving bloody nose and crime is no longer attractive.

If Jonathan had any sense/shame left he should advice Benue government to adopt Kaduna's method of addressing the farmers-herders strife Just like the Plateau government did.

Peace is not a priviledge it is a fundamental right, no man shall be killed because of the leaders shortcomings. Enough of the blame game and instigations. I hope the perpetrators and those fanning the embers receive the worst comeuppance in million folds.

Shut up Mr.
Do u even understand the meaning of the statement in bold. Stop interpreting like som1 suffering from Schizophrenia. SMH

Am just short of words. Wat kind of country is this? Nd dis guy will be walking freely now. In other words, if government shud enact a law that don't favour us, we shud start blood shed. #Biafra is the way out of this shit

Only 2? Why na. They shud ve made it at least 100. Dem no try, ordinary 2, mtwww

iamrealdeji:
whenever Nigerians start a trend,they follow it stupidly,that's why Africans are considered as apes,they don't think right and just follow any style they bring to them. many Christians are into this beard gang shit today but the same people would term people as terrorists if they see any bearded person in the last 5 years. how would anybody feel confident with these bushy beards? it makes them look like they just came back from prison or they just woke up from jungle. well,it covers flaws of guys though but leave beards to Alfas and Muslim clerics,it belongs to them and it looks great on them and their dressing. The day a guy came to my shop with this long beards,he thought he looked cool but I was scared of him and he looked very weird to me. don't get me wrong. I am an hairy person and can grow my beards this long even without all these treatments but I prefer to shave it all off to show my true face. during Ramadan I usually grow my beards long and it means I'm using it to serve my God ideally and not for any trendy stuff

How do u use beard to serve God pls?

Proudlyblack:
I am the only lady here that don't find guys with so much beards attractive? I am the only lady here that don't find guys with so much beards attractive?

Wat shud we do about dat?
Anyways, Thank God for ur life
#Proudly Beardgang. Though the external supervisor made me shave it all, its almost full again in less than 3months

These people are Nigeria problem. Hw can they be sooo retarded. #Disgusted

Studied Pharmacy

But have developed great passion for computer science

He needs counselling. Make him understand d risks. Involve som1 he holds in high esteem, som1 ur sure he respects. Dnt just tell him to stop, tell him the reason he needs to stop. Most ppl doing drugs ar just ignorant

Threebear:
Ambode is one if the few Nigerian governors that actually knows what he's doing.
Managing a big city like Lagos is not an easy job, and he's doing a spectacular job.

Any person dat finds him/herself as d governor of Lagos will perform well. Do u knw Lagos IGR?

Wat he's doing is good bt he shud not create more joblessness wit dis. He shud provide alternative jobs for d danfo guys

Probably craving for attention. From d other news, Anichebe in Anambra wit new girlfriend.

exlinklodge:
What is really wrong with you?

What happened in Rivers is pure tragic and everybody understand that and even the governor of the state have issued N200m bounty on their heads already.

What is happening in Benue State is systematic cleansing of an entire tribe and since these Fulani animals started this, government has turned a blind eye on it.

So you prefer FFK to keep quiet on Benue Massacre that has been going on unchallenged for God knows how many years now and start talking about radical and unknown gunmen who attacked people on new year's eve which rivers government is ready out for?

Some times I wonder if people's brains are in the right position or they just decide to be annoying.

I swear, I tire for d guy line of reasoning. SMH

Morata officially a waste. I miss Costa
