Ogbeni , are Nigerians buying developers goods lesser and suddenly switch to expensive Chinese products just to spite the developers? If not keep quiet .
You’ll not rip me off and brag about it that everyone else is poor with my own money .
If developers sells same price with Chinese I’ll patronize them.
Same people who criticize Dangote for his monopoly are complaining about the Chinese double standards.

One of the unspoken words of wisdom handed out by S. L. Akintola, Sardauna and Isaac Adaka Boro was that whatever Okechukwu accuses you of doing, he is doing it 100%. He is only trying to eliminate competition. We know the game and we are marathoners not sprinters.

This has caused severe pain to the claimed developers..

Nothing last forever, they're planning settlers and business containment in Lagos State.

They are now in fear prior to coming of Chinese to compete with them. Simply because of their concern for dis-containment that may happen to them by Chinese traders presence in Lagos State.

Cry cry babies don start again

SmartyPants:
It's strategic.

When you can convince yourself that everyone else is oppressing you it becomes easier to:

1. Cheat the others after all they are the ones cheating you already according to your internal theory of victimhood

2. Convince your fellow tribesman that he should only buy from you because that is the only way the two of you will prosper.

3. Convince yourself that you are special that is why others hate you

4. Convince your women not to marry outside no matter how badly you treat them or how little effort you put into keeping the relationship, after all you are special and the "special" gene must be preserved

5. Shame the weak-minded members of the other groups into pandering to your interests since they feel guilt at your manufactured sense of being oppressed.

So don't think the victim mentality is accidental. It's a very intentional thought process.

Perfectly captured. We told them the honeymoon is over when they tried that Gbarebo nonsense.

I understand u but bringing chinese here to sell at manufacturer price is not good. Local importers paying millions to import these good and paying taxes need to be protected.

U can find other ways to reduce prices not this cos this will kill competition and then when the chinese see theres no competition they will increase prices and do worse than the igbos.

every rich Igbo man should diversified,you can't have money to build 4deck but any diversified, Chinese are yet to saturated,the drug industry, farming and even tech,let them invest in Igbo youth create techs and hub like the Yorubas are doing good in tech ND fintechs,that's diversity,you think out of box

It'll take generations for the damage IPOB has done to the minds of Igbos to be undone.

I wish you care for your people who are now refugees constituting nuisance in Igbo land in the name of prostitution, okada and other forms of menial and manual labour

Classicals:
We need to be wary of these Chinese though.

I heard they are also going into manufacturing.
Presently they are producing garri in Ogun.
Farmers have stoped farming casava

We should not end up as giving them an inch then they take a mile

If they can produce the garri and sell it cheap. They are well to do so....

That will reset those greedy people brains in Nigeria.....

For now. I support the Chinese. ... until our people start doing the necessary

Reference:
Exactly.
Nigerians are not fighting for the right causes no matter the psychological stimulus of high inflation and general economic malaise.
I like the last couple of sentences of the actor on question. That is the right attitude and determination. Without that determination there is no end to this wow we are facing.
The government is adamant that it has no blueprint to boost the economy, to stablish industry to create value and jobs.
America is saying to Canada and Bombadier. No more planes unless you make them here.
India is saying we will only buy BMW's assembled here. China is the master of economic blackmail and coercion.
We here have no plans whatsoever to grow anything.

This is why Atiku said he will sell crude at a reduced price to refineries here, instead of Tinubu paying subsidy illegally under a new name to import fuel from their Malta blending plants in his further efforts to sabotage Dangote refinery.

This is the same template that grew our economy for 16 years to the biggest in Africa before Tinubu made Buhari president in 2015, promising positive change when we have only seen extreme poverty and insecurity shege.

NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024

November 26, 2025

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.

This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.

The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.

According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.

I can now conclude that , majority of these people has gone mad.

Always looking for a way to blame Yoruba .

Is that why Jagaban of Borgu had to say that they are the only kidnappers and criminals in Nigeria, as he was looking for cows to excuse his fellow northerners

FSBoperator:
Ibos Vs Chinese ?

I laff.

China that is out producing even Europe, US, Canada and the entire planet combined is whom you think Ibos can rival?

If not for useless Nigeria, Igbos will rival Chinese

onuman:
Lebanese man, Boulous, is handling the major contracts of Tinubu's administration. He repatriates profits to Lebanon and to other foreign countries. Nigeria bleeds.

That is what the Lebanese construction companies do.
They are fronts for the looting of the economy.
They agree to over inflated contracts, then the pay off the politicians involved with offshore deposits.
That's their mantra

FG is not only destroying igbo businesses, FG is destroying nigeria businesses. The Chinese have economies of scale and thus their price can be cheaper. The Chinese will eventually enter everywhere nigerians do businesses and dominate it, even pepper & tomato. Tinubu should realise that when people are backed to the wall, they will react and respond aggressively

silibaba:
Who told you?If is cheaper then why not start importing beer, and many others.

"it is cheaper to import". Business men into import has been saying this for ages abi you nor dey this country......

Every business group has its core makert and only few deversify sucessfully. Funke alakija is still mainly dependent on oil markert despite her billions.

Tech billionaires are no diversified either so dont blame igbos.

Diversification is done more in investments of revenue than on business market types.

Do you know how many long established Local Businesses your people destroyed with mass importation from China?
Even Dangote’s own Textile industry was destroyed by it as Businesses savvy as Dangote was and he had to lay off
8000 Textile workers.
Where were you then Okechukwu?
Nigerians didn’t protest against them despite
All pleas for them to be considerate falling on deaf ears!!!!

LASG is only trying to make life easier for Consumers
That is the Truth!!
There is a fake products epidemic !!!!

Nobody is stopping you from doing your Business
Let the Chinese do their own too

Consumers will have more choice

that's anyway but on it,we igbos are selling stuff so high,you don't want to talk about it nwanne,anya ukwu adigi mma, nobody is sending us out of market, trading is in Igbo blood and we knows the secret even if Chinese should think the can do otherwise,onyeoma,using 7years to learn trade ain't a joke and other things are tot,so don't think is all about going to china and bringing in goods

Cyberterror:
And Ekene dili chukwu night buses brought Igbos into Lagos to destroy Yoruba businesses

You have started again oooooo mucheche kikikikikokk hahaha 😂

For posting this comment, l will likely ban you from all social media for 7 billion years oooooo hahaha 😂

This victimization mentality has to end

Nothing last for ever

The only constant thing in life is change

When the environment changes learn to evolve with it

This is Deep ooooooooo mucheche oooooo hahaha 😂

Godfullsam:
When and where did the yorubas left their region to occupy your mother's shops in Enugu?

Who fed you people with this bull shit?

Do you know what you are saying at all

Considering your age, I shouldn’t engage you.
It’s my grand children who should be dignify you with a response.

PDPdestroyer:
There’s nothing too uncanny for these people to say. Sometimes, I wonder if the same God created us, with the way their thought process works. Their own evolution followed a completely different trajectory

The way I'm beginning to despise them ehn. We need to do everything to chase them away from Yorubaland.

emperor4love:
definitely if my brother should sell at 500 and Chinese at 500,I will consider my brother first, even if Chinese sells at 400 I will still considery brother but here ,this guys can sell a jean u bough at 3k or 5k in Chinese ,then sold it to your country man at 20 to 25k,is that not greedy,with the way economy is,is that helping matter,so poor man can't afford things on his or her own,why must one put such exorbitant price on products,make 300 to 400 percentage on same product u bought at china,even if you have to use airfreight been fast and not shipping,that don't still justify the high price,even if you pass through strait of Hormuz to bring the goods and pay ticket to u.s and Nigerian custom,that still don't justify it,not matter ur spending you should not add such exorbitant price bro,I am not talking of hair guys,do you know most women hair the sell at 200k 500k,is not more than 70k in Cambodia, Vietnam,laos,china, and like,then why add such price to the product to make over gain,is that not greedy

The Chinese people are worse bro, it will only be cheap for a moment, once they have run nigerians out of business & have no competition, they will increase price and nothing will happen. It won't even end there,the Chinese will go as far as owing everything retail in naija that things will be far cheaper in Chinese supermarket than aboki on the street, worse still majority of their people will be employed in those businesses not nigerians. If China can prevent foreigners from operating retail businesses in their country why should nugeria not do same? IN ghana you need $1M invested and employ majority ghanians b4 you can open a retail shop. Things are expensive in Nigeria because of govt policies, using customs to generate outrageous revenue, devaluing our naira etc. China has large economies of scale and even lend us money so they can afford to sell things cheap here. Our government is selling us out to the Chinese.

Does china allow Nigerians to have business down china and if yes that case should close but what China lack is the igbo zeal to industrialized nigeria,

Are you kidding?

Worry about the damage done to your mind by the west first.

It can never be undone. It's in their DNA before ipob started. Why would people fighting injustice against their fellows in the North faced Lagos with barrels of gun before they were defeated in Ore, Ondo State? Why?
Can you believe a learned person saying that FG brought the Chinese to destroy ibo businesses? Did the Chinese enter Aba or Enugu? Why aren't the Yorubas complaining that the Lagos Government deliberately brought ibos to cripple their businesses?
The day the indigenous Lagosians will start chasing these people out of Lagos is very near.
It will be like magic but I've seen a lot of comments online from the Yorubas.

United state is bringing back production to is people,Nigeria is using tribalism to destroy its own people,why can't they give them land for production,dead brains,we are not ready for progress in this nation.

Many Igbos will actually believe this narrative, soon some will begin to add to it, quoting certain amount Tinubu spent on bringing Chinese to Nigeria to come and destroy Igbos business.

BATified2023:
That's your own problem

Our own is to solve the problem of those ripping us off n those who will deliberately inflate the prices of goods cos we didn't vote their brother

And the problem of fake products they have infiltrated our market with.

Dot in a circle people
Very very pathetic creatures
Always crying the victim.
I did my research from those in the market and on ground
Big igbos importers brought these Chinese men to the market
Taught them everything
Now apprentice don wise
Table don turn
Oga don dey cry.
This is LAGOS, a supposed no man's land according to the cocaine developers.
Everybody is welcome in Lagos
Nobody dey pursue anybody
