I just asked Uchenna my childhood friend & football team mate from barracks days if his cousin's business with about 5 2×2 shops is registered. He said "Regi gini?". When it comes to data, our brothers are underrepresented cos most of them hate law and order grin grin

[quote author=kglamour post=137597441]BUSINESS OWNER PERCENTAGES ACROSS NIGERIA’S GEOPOLITICAL ZONES

South West — 59.8%
North West — 51.0%
South South — 50.8%
North Central — 49.5%
North East — 43.3%
South East — 39.0%[/quote

The major takeaway here is that the Ndigbo have less registered business names and as such have been robbing the entire Nigeria state by not paying taxes or avoiding taxes where due be it federal,state and local taxes.

No kidding. Yorubas have always been well structured and they are among the civilizations with early departure from the disorderly lifestyle closer to lower animals. They had proper system of leadership and governance, backed by proper military structure.

Too bad a chunk of the newer generation have mixed with the wrong crowd, and are now drifting back to the style of lower animals.

I am proud of my South West people. We are the real MVPs.
Dey play....

SouthWest natives in this statistics are only very few.

Majority of the business owners living in the SouthWest...Lagos in particular... are Nigerians from all Ethnic groups.

But talking about Business owners living and operating from all over Nigeria,there's one major Ethnic group everyone knows...

I need not mention which tribe it is.

You already know.

Yes, Yorubas are the dons of real and legit business in Nigeria. From Ijebus, to Eko Aketes, to Egbas, to Oyos, to Ijeshas, Ondos, Ogbomosos, Ifes, Aworis, Eguns etc, it's a long history of trade and commerce spanning the coast and hinterland of West Africa and mostly based on integrity and strong values. Effortless trading, no do or die cool .

The way people make and present stats is very stupid.

What are the percentages suppose to represent?
Growth of registered businesses?
Total population that own a business?

What, what kind of statistics is this?

Gibberish in the southwest is it the owo mi da and agberoes that were counted as business owners I don't get it the entire south east is business oriented with business owners. Agbado rebulic dishing out fake statistics every where.

Really?!

Hope you know that business doesn't end with buying and selling.
Every business na buying and selling , service sector sells services ( expertise) and buys labor and sinews of work , 70% of all 2x2 shop as u labeled it is registered ( am excluding what we call petty traders in open markets ) yes south west is not known for commerce of any kind and u know it , if na corporate service industry and embezzlement yes you are number one eg cardbury , Guinness that you ate to death

Edo is not even a match for Oyo State.

I was in Benin city a couple of weeks ago, but the place looks so rough and dilapidated, I kept asking myself, what could possibly have happened over the years. The roads are ok, but not great. Most buildings look quite old. The GRA is meh. Only Airport road (very good), GRA (just okay) and Ring road appear fitting, though I didn't travel far and wide in the city.

Overall, I expected much more of the great Benin city. It is certainly no where near Ibadan, let alone Oyo state, let alone the South West.

Also Edo State only has one city, though I stand to be corrected. Others like Auchi are towns.
This lengthy writing to prove what is not and will never be. Imagine writing that Benin City looked dilapidated even as your base is Ibadan. Just search brown roof republic in Nigeria on Google and you will have it - Ibadan. Forget the online nuisance you guys constitute here and there, Oyo State is way below Edo State in any index of human development not compiled by your fellow Yoruba.

Again, to say that Edo is a one-city state is misleading. I challenge you to name any part of Oyo outside the state capital that matches Ekpoma in terms of development and commerce.

Rest;
