Thread On Power Vs Money And The Igbo Tribe by Kingozymandias(m): 11:44am On Sep 08, 2023
Hello all ,I don't know if this interesting topic would be engaging enough but I want to look at the beautiful topic raised above with the igbo tribe in view


I believe power is more important - case in point the igbo tribe. The igbo post civil war decided to aggressively focus on money to recover all lost during the war. This was their greatest undoing.

Other tribes focused on power while he Igbos focused on money and today the Igbos are the weakest tribe in Nigeria from a political perspective

The yourba control all the human resourcess., Chambers of commerce accounting and banking verticals

Go to all the top Ministeries and agencies you will find majority Hausa and Yoruba with very few ibos.

From NNPC to DPR to FIRS. Because the Yoruba control recruitment in Nigeria they have people in top positions who can sway the recruitment process to favour their tribe and this is fair

The Igbos focus on money has left them in a very vulnerable state. Upon all the poelt ifeanyi Ubah had as CEO capital oil Al it takes is one small Yoruba boy or young Hausa man to wreck him in 24 Horus , capital oil is a good case.

When you are singing an praisimg he likes of E Mony , Obi Cubana , Emeka Offor , INNOSON. Let me.tell.you boldly these men are at the mercy of the simple people in power.

Are you aware that the airpeace CEO ca be wrecked by the minister of aviation?

This is why it appears as.if the Igbos are left behind..the have too many rich me but too few powerful ones. The few powerful ones they have are just average politicians like senators, tha is all.

The Igbos need to imbibe and under the.real.differnce between money and power.

Otherwise they will continue to lag behind. They have no one in key sectors who is powerful

The bitter truth is Igbos don't have either money or power.

Igbos are not even in the top 3 richest in Nigeria not to talk of Africa. When you are rich, you will associate with the deep state who hold the power.

No single tribe has money more than the other, they are poor and rich people from every tribe. But we know where the richest men and families in Nigeria are from... Dangote, Otedola, Rabiu, Briggs family, Okoya family, Ibru family, Dantata family, Tejuosho family, Igbenedion family, Tinubu family, Saraki family, Folawiyo family, then you see Adeleke etc. All the names are people from southwest, North and south south.The fact that some make a lot of noise don't make them the wealthiest, some people are not inclined to brag, that's not what they are about. Op you are capping about who the richest is, you only see those that show off, riches and wealth is different. Nigeria is blessed, we all are great people.

All the tribes that focused on power, what good did it do them? The North that has had the most power, they are worst hit by poverty and terrorism than south. What good did power do them?

All these people that focused on power since the war ended, they are the ones who ran Nigeria into the ground, made it world poverty capital and 8th most terrorised country on earth

Power means a lot, but it is not everything. Thats why the Igbo man never waited for power to come, he always knew that what power can do in a disjointed country like Nigeria is limited

Who power help? Buhari just finished 8 years but half of his home state of Katsina is the hands of bandits. How did power help them?

As an Igbo man, I would rather make money and enjoy what little time I have on earth, than crack my head about power that helped nobody

Money and power are related concepts, but they are not the same thing:

1. Money : Money refers to the financial resources and currency that individuals or entities possess. It can be used to buy goods and services, invest, save, or donate. Money is often measured in terms of wealth or income and is a means of exchange in economic transactions.

2. Power: Power, on the other hand, is the ability to influence or control the behavior, actions, or decisions of others. It can be derived from various sources, including political authority, social status, knowledge, charisma, or physical strength. Power can be used to make decisions, shape policies, and affect the lives of people and communities.

While money can sometimes be a source of power, they are not synonymous. People can have power without necessarily being wealthy, and conversely, individuals with a lot of money may not necessarily wield significant power. The relationship between money and power is complex and can vary greatly depending on the context and individual circumstances.

You asked very good questions.
Germany is considered an economic power for several reasons:

1. Strong Industrial Base, Germany has a robust and diversified industrial sector. It's known for its high-quality manufacturing, including automobiles, machinery, chemicals, and engineering products. This industrial strength contributes significantly to its economic power.

2. Export-Oriented Economy: Germany is one of the world's leading exporters. Its products are in high demand globally, making it a major player in international trade. The country's export prowess contributes to a positive trade balance and economic stability.

3. Innovation and Technology, Germany is known for its commitment to research and development. It has a well-established education system and invests heavily in technological innovation. This helps German companies stay competitive and produce cutting-edge products.

4. Skilled Workforce: Germany has a highly skilled and educated workforce. Its vocational training system is often cited as a model for other countries. This skilled labor pool contributes to the country's economic strength.

5. Stability and Infrastructure: Germany benefits from political stability and a well-developed infrastructure. It has a strong legal system, reliable transportation networks, and efficient institutions that support economic growth.

6. Strong Financial Sector, German banks and financial institutions are known for their stability. The country's financial sector is well-regulated and contributes to the overall strength of the economy.

7. Membership in the European Union: Germany's position as a leading member of the European Union (EU) gives it access to a large single market and strengthens its economic influence within the EU.

8. Global Corporations: German multinational corporations like Volkswagen, Siemens, and Bayer have a significant global presence and contribute substantially to the country's economic power.

9. Fiscal Responsibility: Germany is known for its fiscal discipline. It maintains balanced budgets and a strong emphasis on financial responsibility, which enhances confidence in its economy.

10. Global Trade and Investments, Germany is actively involved in international trade and investments. Its companies invest in various countries, creating a web of economic ties and enhancing its global economic influence.

All these factors combined make Germany one of the world's leading economic powers, with a strong impact on global trade, innovation, and economic stability.
