Is he the only one having more than one businesses, what's wrong with you guys, is Dangote, Otedola, etc having only one business, are you this slow or is it just hatred. You don't know that just one company/business can buy 100 companies all together. Are you saying Forbes and Bloomberg and wikipedia are Yoruba blog, are you saying you know the net worth of your Azu more than him, let him or his accountant come out to call himself a billionaires. Even 100k dollars businesses are listed in London stock exchange, you think it's by shouting Igbo amaka on social media

Shut up jor!

He has more than one businesses and he is listed in LONDON for god sake.

That should be enough evidence for you to know he is richer than Mark Zuckerberg, who has only one business and it is not even listed in London.

You are an economic illiterate if you don't go and get your own degree in "Group Economics" from some SE state poly.

Viraltrends123:
There is no how he won't be recognized by Forbes or Bloomberg if his company is a billion dollars company, is he as silent as Dangote, adenuga, Otedola, Alakija, shagaya. Hatred for this people's has reduced you to this

No mind am.

Because of his "Group Economics" degree from some state poly, he is better at valuation of worth of people than the likes of Bloomberg and Forbes.

Once he sees a person visits London 10 times a year, can buy 400 Pink Moet bottles, has the biggest mansion in his village and has a Rolls-Royce, then he is a multi-billionaire and richer than Elon Musk according to his lectures in "Group Economics".

Chest-beating analysis! "Group Economics" gurus!

Bestmanfornow:
Can you show me where they denied their tribe

I don't need to show you where they did. Most Ikas and Ikwerres will tell you they are not Igbos.

ariesbull:
taking a chunk of your market and sending the money back home like Chinese

Just like Nigerians are taking a chunk of US market and sending it back to Nigeria to the point Nigeria is now a first world country and the US is behind us? Americans are dumb, Nigerians are smart.

Basic123:
I have always told some yorubas claiming Igbo are more enterprising that IJEBU PEOPLE ARE BETTER BUSNESS MEN AND INDUSTRIALISTS!

Even Ebenezer obey mentioned it...AWON IJEBU,S'AWON LO L'OWO....IJEBU OWNS TRADE!

Most past richest yorubas are from Ogun axis from Abiola to folawiyo to Adenuga to Alakija and they are all richer than the contemporary IGBO rich men of their time!

Igbos are more enterprising!!!

They have a culture of trading, are aggressive in engaging in it and dominate small/import trades.

Yorubas are more corporatising!!!

They have a culture of building professional businesses, quietly doing so and dominate majority of industries in Nigeria.

A classic example is if you look at the corner-shop industry (which Nigerians erroneously call "Supermarket". Igbos dominate ownership of such shops across the country, with the shop-owner quietly sitting in his shop with his apprentices serving customers.

But when you look at Supermarket chains, the professionally-ran ones, Yorubas dominate.

Shoprite Nigeria, Justrite, Price Pointe, Principally and Addide are all owned by Yorubas.

Grand Square is the only professionally-run Supermarket owned by an Igbo.

The is one Anambra guy that doesn't make noise ...Emeka Okwuosa he is the owner of Oilserv. ..this dude is building transnational gas pipelines running in billions

And so?

Bestmanfornow:
Otedola is being overhype by Yoruba media, he is far below many Igbo rich guys

The richest people in Nigeria are:

1. Aliko Dangote .......................(NW)
2. Abdul Samad Rabiu .............(NW)
3. Mike Adenuga ......................(SW)
4. Femi Otedola .......................(SW)
5. Tope Awotona ......................(SW)
6. Folorusho Alakija .................(SW)
7. Danjuma Theophilus ...........(NC)
8. Benedict Peters ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(SS)
9. Jim Ovia .................................(SE)
10. ABC Orjiako .......................(SE)

Followed by the likes of Tony Elumelu, Hakeem Belo-Osagie and Oba Otudeko.

Take that to the bank!

Bestmanfornow:
Glo is own by IBB,

Banks
Fidelity bank-Peter Gregory Obi
Zenith bank -Jim Okechukwu Ovie
UBA bank - Anthony Onyemaechi Elumelu
Access bank- Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe

I like the way you try to spell out their full names with their middle names.

I know why you did that. You are desperate.

In reality, you know Wigwe and Elumelu will tell you they are not Igbos!

ariesbull:
I asked a simple economical question

What are the percentage of indigenous peoples that own the industries ! What every government does is apart from attracting investment they try to empower their people to be investment drivers


What are the percentage of Ogun people that owns these industry are they up to 30% which I know it's not up to

There is what we call group economics ! It keeps the money in circulation! Just like when my wanted to move back their profits to South Africa it affected the Forex in Nigeria

No government loves capital flight !


So back to the question...answer this truthfully


HOW MANY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THAT STATES OWN THESE INDUSTRIES

The "Group Economics" you learnt in which state poly?

yommen:
You typed all these stories just to discredit others. We know you, bad belle always.

The original post was not even about targeting other tribes. It was simply about highlighting and celebrating the success of one state.

But some people cannot bear not beating their chest and claiming their tribe is better and the best, when they are clearly not.

Bestmanfornow:
You reasons like small baby, please who mention Cuban here
Igbos control trade, indigenous industries, land and air transportation

After deleting the middle one, you are right!

Viraltrends123:
That's why the 5 richest men and women in Nigeria are igbos, that's why the biggest indigenous companies in Nigeria are owned by Igbos. Or is it because cubana did big burial with 50 cows, LOL.

Bestmanfornow:
Anu what do you know, Igbos control trade in Nigeria and indigenous industries

The only indigenous industries that Igbos dominate are (1) Transport, (2) Spare parts, (3) Electronics, (4) Building materials and (5) Hospitality.

Basically, the buy-and-sell, import trades and the simple build-a-small-joint sector.

Go and check and come back. You have been fed nonsense chest-beating information.

Bestmanfornow:
Ignorant mind only in your dream, mention industries Yoruba man own outside Yoruba land, you guys busy deceiving yourselves with propaganda

Have sense!

SW is the most desirable place for business and investment in Nigeria by the best investors.

There is no sense in going to invest in SE considering its economic figures, except you already live there or plan to focus your business on selling there.

Not only do Yorubas not waste their time and money going to build industries in SE, hardly any foreigner (be it Americans, British, Italians, Japanese etc.) does. It is an economically weak and irrelevant zone, where its people have to go to other lands for greener pasture.

When a place or country is economically strong and relevant, the result is that you start getting a diversity of people settling there and it would become more cosmopolitan. Think London, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Dubai, Johannesburg etc.

Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Ondo are more cosmopolitan than any SE state. I can bet going to any SE state, you will find that 98%+ of the people living there are Igbos. Just like 98%+ of people living in Tajikistan, Mongolia, Haiti, Burundi, Afghanistan etc. are locals and run all the businesses there, while some migrate abroad for greener pastures and better opportunities. This is because their own places are economically weak and irrelevant zones. It is not something to be proud of and beat your chest about.

Even no one goes to Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe etc. to build anything because they are economically weak and irrelevant zones. Their people own everything there and some migrate to Kano, FCT, Kaduna and Lagos to build their fortunes.

The fact that other tribes are not investing, owning or building in the SE is not something to be proud of!!! It is not a mark of success or progress!

It is sad I had to tell you all these before you know, while beating your chest violently.

Please have sense!

ariesbull:
Ogun state should be more developed than this cos of the proximity to Lagos....but they have refused to invest in infrastructure

This is probably the only sensible thing you have said so far.

ariesbull:
oh yes ! The people keep their economy and the rest go out to have a chunk of other economies and plough it back to their states

That's economic expansion that's what every reasonable group does

You mean you think the best way for economic success is the Nigerian Japa model?

Na diaspora remittance be your ideal of economic power?

You are a real economic Einstein.

People that have sense would rather have both indigenous ownership and FDI in their economy, where jobs are created, knowledge transfer is rampant, free market forces exist and competition is rife.

Make una go school and work hard, una no go listen. Chei!

But una don study "Group Economics" sha.

Bestmanfornow:
I hope you know the difference between CEO and owner, 75% of the industries are owned by foreigners rest are other Nigerians, I just listed the ones in Ogun own by Anambra guys can you mention one industry own by Yoruba man in any industrial layouts in Southeast

Why would any businessman, that is not Igbo, be daft enough to go build his industry in the SE, out of all the location choices available to him?

Your IQ is really low o.

Bestmanfornow:
Over 75% of the companies in Ogun are owned by foreigners especially Chinese, Indians the rest are owned by other Nigerians

Motorpark experts like to pull statistics from their asses.

If you ask this one now, how he knew it is "over 75%", you will see him start babbling and dodging the question.

Unemployable "yoots".

igwebuike01:
All over the world economies are measured in GDP. Taxation only impoverish people more while elites enjoy

So Nigeria has a better economy than Hong Kong, Finland, Portugal, New Zealand, Qatar and co because it has a higher GDP?

Na this one dey talk about "Economic illiterates"? Empty chest-beater.

Akano5:
Sustain what?? when everything is being embezzle.

For your information, I'm a Yoruba guy who reside in Ogun state, so don't think i'm an Igbo man, so stop all those shit man.

When the people are voting for a daft "Eleyi".

Akano5:
SMH, stop taking about that shit called IGR, Nigeria as a whole has the highest IGR in Africa, yet it's the poverty capital of the world...

ask yourself, where does all those monies go?? don't tell me it's because of our population oo.

Please show us your source that Nigeria has the highest IGR in Africa.

igwebuike01:
No you are wrong. Commercialization distribute wealth and create stronger upper middle class to patronize airport more than industrialization.

Can you repeat this in English please?

igwebuike01:
But Emzor dey. That's what we are talking. They will run one by one and we will take over. Your IGR loving governor is still gallivanting looking for "investors" while Soludo has empowered local youths

While Emzor might be the biggest indigenous pharceutical company, SW dominates the pharmaceutical industry if SW-owned companies' revenues are added together and SE-owned companies' revenues are added together.

Evans Medical + Tuyil + Pharma-Deko + Bentos + Mopson + Morison Industries + Daily-Need Industries + Drugfield = $130m

Emzor + Juhel + Neimeth = $95m

So, when you are sick, you are more likely to be taking foreign or SW-made drugs in Nigeria.

igwebuike01:
IGR is never a measure of economic progress.

What is a measure of economic progress? Stay-at-home on Mondays?

ariesbull:
How many of these industries are owned by Ogun indigenes so that we can know what group economics is

Like Anambra 95% of industrial activities there are owned by Anambra folks making the money stay in the state

But in Ogun there is what is called capital flight! Investors pay indigenous folks peanuts ,declare anything as profit then oay paltry tax and repatriate the rest money back to home


So once again how many Ogun people owns industry in Ogun state or are they just workers ?

igwebuike01:
Yorubas are just deceiving themselves. Economic illiteerates

Bestmanfornow:
Empty 🧠🧠

Igbos control indigenous industries in Nigeria, Anambra and Abia are home of indigenous industries in Nigeria
Ignorant mind this one of the industrial estates just in Anambra state control by Igbos

"Anambra is making the money stay in the state"?

Which money?

What money?

Ogun state (with N121bn) generates more than 3 times the IGR that Anambra generates (with N34bn). As a matter of fact, Ogun state generates more IGR than the entire SE states' IGR all added up together (with N115bn combined).

Even quiet, rural, nonindustrial Ondo State (with N33bn) has the same IGR as Anambra.

So who is collecting "paltry tax" then, Einsteins? Ogun or Anambra, illiterate?

Where is the "mega tax" being paid in Anambra na?

Ogun state (with N24.3bn) generates more than 2 times the PAYE tax that Anambra generates (with N11.2bn).

Ogun state (with N2.8bn) generates more than 4 times the Direct Assessment tax (i.e. tax for self-employed people) that Anambra generates (with N0.7bn).

Unemployment rate in Ogun State is 16.4%. Unemployment rate in Anambra State is 44.2%.

Poverty rate in Ogun State is 9.3%. Poverty rate in Anambra (the best for it in SE) is 14.8%.

But you say na you know "Group Economics"? You dey beat chest say "Na we own 95% of the industries"?

Going around shouting you are developing other people’s lands with empty points and you cannot shut up your mouth when they are talking about their successes and not insulting you, you have to just open your mouth to say you are better, when you clearly are not better or developing anything. People like you are truly cursed! Empty chest-beating professionals!

Who be economic illiterates so? Employing “stay at home” protests and killing your own economy, based on orders by some low-IQ illegal migrant fool to Finland, is what would make a people economic Einsteins? While those making money, and your people are rushing to their lands for survival, are the Economic illiterates in your low IQ minds?

Kingjbase:
Only those who truly seek God in spirit and in truth will understand me. Its not something that I cant explain. Because you will be bring up your carnal logic's and understanding to this topic

So, you pulled out that claim of "demons that cause poverty and misfortune" from your ass based on the brainwash fed you from your colo-mentality religion of fiction?

White gods are real, true and the saviours; Black Gods are fake, dangerous and the demons? I have been told that, and it is the fact.

And, looking at your history, you are the one going around NL telling people they "have low IQ", "loosed screws upstairs", "are mumus/mugus" etc.

I knew when I was phrasing the question that you could never have the IQ to answer it, so your dodging answer was not a shock. When people pull idiotic opinions from their asses, I can spot it instantly.

Kingjbase:
stop being ignorant , many of our ancestors worshiped idols
And these so called idols are demons which causing poverty and misfortune to a lot of Nigerians today

Can you name the idols in your tribe that are there to cause poverty and misfortune?

While you are at it, can you tell us how you came up with that conclusion?

It equally occurs in the West. Lagos family names below are just a sample:
Glover, Bucknor, Vivour, St Matthew Daniels, Lewis, Savage, Randle.

You did not understand the brief before talking.

Question 1: What percentage of Lagos family names are like that?

Question 2: How many of the people with these family names also use English first names?

South south pple....
My bunkmate in school bears Daniel david

South South and Middle-belt people.

In South South, you can maybe minus Ibibio and Ijaw people.

In Middle-belt, the Muslim ones are particular lost forever with their useless Arab names; just like Hausa people are lost. But the Christians in the Middle-Belt are also almost as useless now.

eepeepook:
Name: Mark Surname: John.

Name: Tony Middle name: Excel Surname: Livingston.

Name: Jennifer Surname: Confidence.

Seriously, where are they from? I remember we give names from our dialects. Some people have English names but only as first names or preferred ones. Their ‘native names’ dominate all of their official documents. In the given examples, those English names and surnames are their official ones.

They are from lost, half-wit families.
