That's a very big lie. Most Businesses are owned by Igbos, you mention Fanyogo, does Small and Medium scale enterprise contribute to the Economy or not?

And 100+ more companies

More about Ogun

SenatorM:
Tell me why most corporate businesses are moved to Lagos.

Check out most of the business people in Lagos and the entire SW are.

BTW people move their businesses to where they're likely to thrive.

Most of the business owners in the SW are Yorubas and oyinbo foreigners. I'm not talking about fanyogo trading.

I can tell you about Ogun.... the industrial hub of Nigeria.


Can you tell me about the so called commercial hub in The SE?

SenatorM:
Tell me why most corporate businesses are moved to Lagos.

Check out most of the business people in Lagos and the entire SW are Igbos.

You cant deny the fact that the commercial activities in the SE is contributing to the Economy of the Country.

Ariaria is the Biggest Market in Nigeria and one of the biggest in Africa which even the FG is aware that it contributes greatly to the Economy.

Who moved these businesses to Lagos? Mention these Ibo businesses and their revenues.

FYI Ogun is the industrial hub of Nigeria, not Lagos.

Ogun state backs up this claims with generated revenues.


Ibos can't. Why? Because they're lies.

@kn23h

The Yoruba "Entrepreneur" will have to prepare countless proposals and quotations to big corporations and rich individuals before he can sell his watermelon juice.

The Igbo Businessman does not need to write any proposal because customers irrespective of class and social status will come to him because of the AFFORDABILITY AND SIMPLICITY of his business!

Now let's evaluate the successes to be recorded by both in a year:

YORUBA ENTREPRENEUR: Gets an average of say 3 contracts per month:

3 x 12=36...36 x 5= $180...We subtract the $1 each which was spent in buying each watermelon for the contracts...180 - 36= $144 per annum.
(Minus his cost of preparing the proposals, his transportation to reach his client in their locations, the cost of power used in powering the blender used in making the juice etc) from the $144 and you can imagine how much he will be left with!

IGBO BUSINESSMAN: He stays put in his shop and people come to him. Let's say an average of 500 people come to him in a month to buy his water melons...

500 x0.5 = 250... 250 x 12 = $3000...Subtract the $1 each which was spent in buying each watermelon plus rent for his shop, tax from LIRS if he leaves in Lagos and his transportation to and fro to his shop from the house and he may be left with two thirds of the amount ($2,000) as his gain. (Remember, the igbo trader will make sure he has about 3 to 5 other shops in different areas of Lagos from Alaba to Idumota to Ikeja etc)

So the Igbo Businessman makes about $1500 per annum from his watermelon while Yoruba Entrepreneur makes about $100 per annum. When the Igbo trader after like 10 years decides to buy land in Lagos and builds an edifice and buys one "Grade 1" RX350, yorubas will say that it is money rituals or his brother in Malaysia that is pushing drugs who is responsible for his wealth.

MORAL: You all see the reason why Igbos succeed more in Business? It was this model that was used in their bounce-back after the war with just the £5 given to them. YORUBAS SHOULD LEARN MORE FROM THE IGBOS RATHER THAN HATING THEM

Great calculation. It's unfortunate that this doesn't reflect in real life.

Maybe you need to redo your calculation. Tell me why multiple Yoruba billionaires are featured in Forbes, but no Ibos are mentioned.

After that dem still no get jobs

ZombieTAMER:
e pain am die

Just stating the obvious

SenatorM:
Did you even read the link you posted and what he really meant about"Idp in Aba"?

What does IDP mean in the North?

SenatorM:
You can only convince those who haven't been or stayed in the South West.

Igbos run the businesses over there in the South West.

Lagos,for example,During Christmas period when the Igbos had gone to their villages, the markets are always very very dry, even the traffic jam is reduced.

List those Ibo businesses. Let me make it easy for you, list 5 of them and their revenues. Ibos and lieeeesssss.

Tell me how many corporate businesses are located in the SE.... with facts and sources.

Tell me what the SE generates in IGR.

Tell me what the SE contributes to Nigeria.


I want facts and figures.

The so called Japan of Africa

We Already Have IDPs In Aba Just Like In The North East - Ossy Prestige Tells FG

https://www.nairaland.com/3963161/already-idps-aba-just-like


Stop wasting money on Aba

SenatorM:
Buhaha ,you for add Oshogbo and Ekiti join the list.

Ariaria market is one the biggest in Africa, Yoruba know nothing about Business, na only Ritual and badoo business dem know

Another unlearned ipob.

I love busting your bubbles

Can you tell me which Nigeria state is Nigeria's industrial hub?

derahhh:
Na lie I have been in Yoruba land all my life..even served there.....80% of businesses in the west are owned by Igbos


Yoruba ain't business oriented...They are educationists

I don't need to lie, but you do


Some of Yoruba businesses and their worth
https://www.nairaland.com/3918290/yorubas-most-industriousrichest-educated-tribe

gpmorgan:
Before Yoruba entrepreneur can prepare one glass of that Juice + purchase of Glass cup + Juice Extractor to make $5, An Igbo man have already sold 10 quantities of that raw juice to make cool $15.
You can testify how many times you bought processed fresh Fruit compare to the raw water melon you demolish on daily basis. so respect an Igbo man in business.

Yet Yorubas own most of the high successful companies and assets in Nigeria. Reflect your chest beating on Forbes Billionaire list.

https://www.nairaland.com/3918290/yorubas-most-industriousrichest-educated-tribe

I don't listen to lies this early in the morning

The North and SE are both prarasitic regions

I see some nice biafran shoes and dresses there.


Let me post some of the dresses and shoes we produce in Yorubaland too.

dunkem21:
Listen, I don't engage in Tribalism and I have talked some out of it. I got a long ban from Seun for calling him a bigot because he neither allowed me to stop it or do it himself. Now, see an important business thread and you want to kill your brothers' businesses with bigotry and the owner watches on.

I can take on both my Igbo and Yoruba brothers same time when my weyreh start.. Ask your oga dem.

All this for moi I'm flattered.

..

I see some nice biafran bags there. Woooow




Do you guys like these Yoruba produced bags? Check out the pictures.

Nice shoes. Congrats to biafrans.


Below are Yoruba shoes. Oduduwa entrepreneurship in display.

Macclane:
and ur illustration could have made sense if you were patriotic enough and use Nigerian Naira..



quote me and Watermelon fall on you

Yoruba businesses generates revenues in dollars. So it's kinda accurate.

The government should stop wasting funds on the Somali of Nigeria, Aba.... focus on Ogun that actually generates enough to feed the SE states.

That's how they tried to force made in Nigeria Aba Kabukabus and innoson on us, but we still no gree.

When a business makes sense, you don't need to force people to buy it.

These inorganic processes are wasting the country's funds.

The city of Aba is noted for its huge commercial activities, while the Ariaria Market is one of the most popular markets in the southern part of the country.

What commercial activity? He commercial activity the SE can't reflect in their IGR?


We're tired of the lies

If you want to see commercial activities go to Ibadan and Ogun states.

I thought they were already allies? Why the need for a peace talk.

Na dem sabi sha. Yorubas stand along and strong like igi iroko.

Naijabet..... a Yoruba owned company.... is using the Yoruba sense to make money.


No fanyogo drug dealer should quote me.
