There is a lesson Yoruba businesspeople can learn from the strong sense of commercial solidarity often seen among Hausa traders and business communities in Northern Nigeria: protecting local enterprise and supporting one another can strengthen an entire economy.

As Muhammad Ali Musa rightly asked, if Igbo traders are allegedly selling at higher prices, why can't other entrepreneurs travel to China, import goods and sell cheaper? That is competition!

Igbo entrepreneurs invest across Nigeria, establish businesses, employ people and build properties. Rather than seeing them as threats, Lagos should recognise the economic value they bring.

If Hausa and Northern business communities can demonstrate solidarity in protecting their commercial interests, Yoruba entrepreneurs should also embrace productive competition, strategic cooperation and business development.

You don't defeat a competitor by destroying his business because of his ethnicity. You defeat him by offering better prices, better products and better service.

The goal should be to build businesses, not destroy them out of envy. Nigeria prospers when every ethnic group has the freedom to succeed.

Nigerians a funny people and their bus shows overtime.

If the government decides to ban a products (like rice) so that local businesses will be able to grow and build capacity, we will kick and fight because this will lead to an increase in the retail price of the even if it will allow local business grow because of prices. We will ask that the prices crash for the good of the common man.

Now it is discovered that traders and merchants are exploiting customers and putting a lot of strain on their pockets but you want the government to protect the traders and throw out another set of traders who have given assurance of price reduction because we want to be sentimental and bias.

We forgot about capital fight when we opted for foreign foods but that is what we want to claim now.
Same imported goods, different traders, everyone will be fine.

The country Prospers when one region won't spit another region on his face claiming they developed their Land and you still expect them to support You.
And all regions have their own comparative advantage... while one region might not be interested in importing, they're definitely good in other Aspects.

You call a place "no man's land" and you don't want Chinese to enjoy the fruits of the place, nor bí hypocrisy bí dat.

Whilst I know this Obidient behaviour of needlessly antagonising the Yoruba locals in Lagos with words is not done by every Ndigbo, it should be no surprise Ndi Yoruba and Ndigbo are starting to grow apart from each other.

Rewind to 5 or so years ago and those Chinese shops would have been closed down by concerted efforts of both Yoruba and Igbo people.

discovered by who?
Do you have any evidence for this? If you do, bring it now or rest.

You're banning import of rice when there's no local capacity to meet demand.
If the cloth and shoe producers in Aba called for import ban on the materials they produce, you'll still oppose them. The reason you'll oppose them is still the same reason you're covertly supporting foreign retailers to enter Nigerian market.

This is a lunatic rant Igbo can form n sell at what ever price they like. Yoruba already invited Chinese to sell at a cheaper and we are beta off with that so carry your epistle to Aba.

Have they said Kano na no man's land?

People who are sitting at home every Monday in their region want to lecture Yorubas about protecting businesses

Btw, selling fake drugs and substandard products is not what you call 'business'.

Carry your rubbish goods and goan sell them in your region in the South East.

The time of GASLIGHTING Yorubas is over!

People bring their businesses from every part of the world to Yoruba land. There are Chinese businessmen here, there are Lebanese, Arabs, Germans, Indians and many others. None of them is complaining about Yoruba people, only Igbos are complaining. Those who owned factories, refineries and industrial parks in the southwest are not complaining, the 2by2 shop owners are the ones complaining. The merchant of fake products LoL!

Hausa chased the ch>news out that shows people that are business oriented
