Localised business. Igbo people have quite number of big investments outside their regions. Even in funtua where I served, there were quite number of igbo businesses How many hausas have big investments outside their regions? That is the difference.

Lets be factual.

The north is supporting the country with agriculture
The South South is supporting the country with oil.

Oil and agriculture sales still remain the source of our foreign exchange.

Come to think of it, what has the south east produce that can support the nation?

You don't produce anything but want a fair deal in oil sales and agricultural sales

I have been in the north. I have been in the east. Politics and religion have destroyed commerce and trading skills of hausas. Presently, bandits and Islamic jihads are destroying cattle rearing business of fulanis and agric business of hausas.

No tribe can match igbo commercial skills today. Igbo used their trading and apprenticeship skills to survive post-war economic paralysis while other religions are still in victory mood even after 50 years war ended. Igbos have monopolised trading and commerce in the country.

Bonesbreaker:
I have been laughing since i saw the Op post dude within yourself you know the truth Kia all this argument between North and igbo is useless what the East want know is separation and watch us in next 10years if we no make East like Dubai make i shit 4 cloth even know igbo in business pass una walahi nobi joke oh you guys are good in Agric but Ebonyi state dey vex this days oh the way dia youth dey enter farm business

The hausa also have investments outside their businesses but you wouldn't know.

Who do you think, is the owner of some airlines, some car dealerships with offices in lagos.

The biggest pinapple farm in cross river is owned by a hausa man.

You wouldn't know because most hausa businesses are highly organized with structures in places.

Okwyjesus:


You cant take away lgbos commercial powess and it's economic important.
Am not talking about tomato business with govt subsidized fertilizer. Am talking of building mega business empire drawing import/export revenue from little or nothing.

The bolded is an elementary and unresearched classification of what actual obtain from certain activities in Nigeria. The Abakiliki rice was adjudged best in the world by British in 1951. There is Nkalagu yam. The issue is not production of certain produce but the market to dispose the produce. Republic of Igboland does not need the crude oil to grow as a society.

Let us compare igbo businesses with hausas in osogbo and ibadan.

If you like call me an igbo hater, i don't have one hate against the igbos.

I will just like to correct some things about igbo commercial strength, first and foremost the igbos so called commercial strength start and ends in lagos, if the igbos think they are good in trading then they haven't met a hausa man.

Northern history is all about trading, when other tribes were busy running naked, the hausas were busy trading and importing and exporting goods thru and from countries as far as saudi Arabia through the deserts.

The sad reality is most southerners who praise the igbos for their commercial strength haven't traveled out their bubble in lagos. If they have, they would have know that for what every commercial activities the igbos does, the hausa man does that in thousands of fold.

Is it transport business, electronic, spare parts, etc, just think about any business, the hausa man does them too.

I think most of you should go and read about northern history in trading, everything about the north is trade, that is why you will hardly see a hausa man being idle, he must do one trade or the other to survive.

If you can not make the east dubia when you are inside Nigeria, when it is outside, it won't still be Dubai.

It is southerners that know igbo people in business because they trade there in large numbers especially in petty trading but in the north, the hausa man controls trading, they are the commercial powerhouse of the north. Mention any business that does not involve alchohol and drugs that you think the igbos are doing in the south,the hausas are also doing it in abundant in the north.

Most igbo traders in the north know that, so where do you think they get their supplies from?

Idiko1:


The only business I think Hausa could remotely have outside the northern region of Nigeria is suya, tomato or onion business. Even they do not have a stranglehold on tomato or onion business.

Idiko1:


The worst thing to have happened to eastern region of Nigeria and all Igboland is being part of the shithole called Nigeria. Nothing kills economic plans on earth like silly government policies. Since end of Nigeria/Biafra war, the polices of the federal government led by the goons from northern region had stacked against Ndigbo in particular and eastern region in general. I state with confidence that Igboland and defunct eastern region of Nigeria will tourism hotspot if the shithole called Nigeria disintegrates.

We are in 2021 and you are here talking about abakiliki rice of 1951.

So you think the quality of abakiliki rice in 1951 is the same rice in 2021

"60 Per Cent Of Cargo In Nigeria Goes To Onitsha"- NIWA

What about the ones left in Lagos and SW and Aba and Nnewi

Know this ad have peace....

Igbos don't compete with the Fulanis on herds or Gwaris with Farming...

thebosstrevor1:


Hausa petty traders sell agricultural produce in the south , just like how igbo petty traders, sell raw rice and beans in the south.

To burst your bubble, the raw rice and beans are supplied by Northerners, the beans comes from the north, while the licensed importers of Thailand rice are owned by Northerners.

Idiko1:


The bolded is self indictment of the cesspit called Nigeria. If Nigeria is anything to talk about, there could have been serious improvement of Abakiliki rice to match the best in the world today. However, we are talking about a dumbass country called Nigeria. This silly country must go in order to give way to serious nation states.

Idiko1:


The bolded clearly indicated your facts are based on conjectures. There is no Hausa petty trade in south who sells agricultural produce. Hausa are middle men so do Igbo chaps. [b]The Hausa middle must depend on Igbo middle men whose trailers also ply north-south corridor to dispose their portion of the market. [/b]You really do not know anything about local business. In contrast in the north, Igbo middlemen had exclusively control on the products disposed in the northern region markets.

GeneralStan:
How you all are busy trying to piont lines to the blind baffles me, leave this mofo to continue in his ignorance, Even havard business acknowledges that the supremacy of the igbo commercial prowess in the entire africa. In the first republic the eastern economy was growing by 40% yearly.
Even the Alhajis in the north know to respect an igboman when they see them.
I have been to kaduna, kano, sokoto ad Abuja if you can be honest you know the igbos are still holding there own in every of these places.
Please quit all these hausaman yapping, cuz even the real hausa trader will tell you to fear (respect) the igbo man.
