With all the Igbo sense, why is the southeast not the economic engine room of the nation?

It's primitive because all your focus Is narrow and shallow....... tribal.

Imagine an America where only blacks patronize black or Indians patronize only Indians..........

And this is still better that what you guys are trying to celebrate here...... it's more more like Navajo Indians doing business with only Navajo Indians........... or descendants of Irish immigrants doing business with only themselves and avoiding Italian immigrants.


It's very primitive.

Now picture other Nigerian tribes doing the same........ man, that's so look shallow.

IkpuMmadu:


It's not sidelining ..it's an economic preference....I hope that okada man has given you a crash course on
Group economics 101


That's why we Igbo go village at the end if the year ..to repatriate the money we made abroad and also make some new contacts or network ...yorubas don't do that


Yoruba have a lot to learn from us . It's not all about bragging sophisticated everyday

RockHard:


Don't mind their backward lot. To think that they are actually bragging about it betrays their ignorance and backward clannishness. Very primitive bunch. If they get shut out of other markets now on this account, they will be the first to scream 'Igbophobia', 'Envy!', 'Jealousy!'.

ba7man:
With all the money you've been repatriating for decades, Ibadan is more developed that your cities.

I won't even mention Ogun state.

oboy3:
this ibadam?lol

ba7man:
Visit the Fanyogo thread on Ibadan and weep.

oboy3:
who would see pics of the brown roof republic and not weep?

mrvitalis:

Who are the igbos that asked to leave Nigeria??
Governors
Senators
Reps
Or touts??

ba7man:
Lol. I was about copying the link to the recent Ibadan thread till I saw you commenting on it before running away.

So you can post all you want but you know Ibadan is better that all you have to offer.

IkpuMmadu:


You don't understand the concept of GROUP ECONOMICS

It's only Jews and Igbo practise this so well

Don't blame the okada man ....he has his reason

In marketinf we call it appealing to emotions

INTERVIEWER: Why are blacks so behind economically?

JEWISH LEADER: The only aspect blacks understand is Consumption. Blacks don’t understand the importance of building wealth.
The fundamental rule is to keep your money within your racial group. We build Jewish business, hire Jewish, buy Jewish and spend Jewish.
There is nothing wrong with that but it is a basic rule blacks cannot comprehend and follow.
“He kills his fellow blacks daily instead of wanting to see his fellow blacks do well” 93% of blacks killed in America are by other blacks.
Their leaders steal from their people and send the money back to their colonial master from whom they borrow the same money from.
Every successful black want to spend his money in the country of his colonial Masters.
They go on holiday abroad, buy houses abroad, school abroad etc. instead of spending this money in their own country to benefit their people.
Statistics show that the Jew’s money exchanges hands 18 times before leaving his community while for blacks it is probably a maximum of once or even zero.
Only 6% of black money goes back into their community. This is why Jews are at the top and blacks are at the bottom of every ladder of society.
Instead of buying Louis Vuitton, Hermes, expensive cars, shoes, houses, dresses etc, blacks could industrialize Africa, build banks and get rid of colonial institutions by putting them out of business.

INTERVIEWER: Your thoughts on failure of blacks after 150 years?

JEWISH LEADER:Well, nothing is ever the Blackman’s fault. His compulsive habit of killing his own, compulsive material consumption, his inability to build business or preserve wealth are usually somebody else’s fault.

INTERVIEWER: So what can blacks do to liberate themselves?

JEWISH LEADER: Blacks must take responsibility. Blacks must unite and vehemently fight corrupt leaders who run down their country and run to IMF as though IMF is Father Christmas.
END OF INTERVIEW
Please forward this until it goes round Africa & particularly to our parasitic leaders. We all need to learn our lessons quick and build our African Nations.

More like "disgust"....... they think it's envy.

Even smart Igbo men are wary of their own tribesmen.

FlyoruB:


Guy, all this their chest-thumping don justify the apprehension of the Rivers state minorities who loathe and distrust them, including/especially their own igboid cousins over there. Why should any right-thinking host accommodate such loud-mouths after this revealing confessions?? You come out and boldly state that your aim is to 'dominate/control' and yet you scream marginalization or igbophobia when your host begins to enact his own protectionist policies to protect his own people from your outlandish ambitions (similar to the policies you confess to operate in your own region to gain an edge over non-natives) Na wah o.

Scholes007:
Your problem is that you have already created a sort of stereotype against the Igbo, from what the Op wrote, it shows the okada man was in no way a tribalist. His choice of word "prefer" shows He would allow anyone repair his work but not when his prefered mechanic is just some poles away. Did the op ask the tribe of the nearby mechanic? Did he ask the relationship bw the man/the mechanic?... These are things are what shows the tribal tendency of the op. Because he has an already biased mind and would always not look at things beyond those biases

FlyoruB:
Bullshyt. You Mr. Man are the biggest hypocrite. Your kinsmen have been all over this thread thumping their chests claiming superiority, deriding others for not being as tribalistic and protectionist, and forming Einstein while trying stvpidly to defend the indefensible. You no fit call them to order yet you have the effrontery to accuse others of tribalism?? You fool no one with your pretentious posturing -- definitely not me anyway. Most of you guys just can't help your selves. Again I repeat that it isn't your fault, it's the stvpid Yorubas forming sophisticated that I blame. When Ambode starts demolishing your shops and showing favoritism towards his people God will punish any of you that accuses him of igbophobia, envy, or jealousy, coz that is the treatment you have all been preaching on this thread and deriding Yorubas for not adopting against you all in their midst. You have made it crystal clear that such policies are the most pragmatic ways of dealing with your lousy lot. Incorrigible hypocrite like you.

IkpuMmadu:


[s]Hausa people do it
You are at liberty to do it

Nobody is holding you
We are in a capitalised society not one welfare society

Stop these complaints.its shameful[/s]

Hydra1:
i understand to an extent what d op is saying
But from op's disguised tone, you can sense a very stupid intent, fueling the same issue it pretends to address.
And for this reason the Op is a tribalistic bigot himself
Who says the Yorubas, Hausas and others do not have their own terrible stereotypes

U think outside the country they see us as different? we are all either wonderful nigerians or fantastically corrupt nigerians
For no reason u come online and try to incite tribal war

aybabz101:


D informatn i am trying to pass is dat contrary to d wide spread info dat the igbos are maginalized in dis country, i think d reverse is d case. Frm d various info consciously and unconsciously gathered frm varoius media outlet, interactn wit others n personal experience, i tink its d igbos who are sidelining demselves frm d social-political enviroment of d country.
If u summarize everytin dat comes from d average igbo person, all is victimization even on nairaland. N frm my personal perspective, i tink dat is nt d case.
N i am not a tribal bigot pls.

NaijirianKing:
This may be a hard concept for non-Igbo to grasp, but Igbo people practice something called group economics, and this is culturally engrained. Meaning that once one Igbo man gets money, he tried to circulate that money as many times within his own community as many times as possible.

This is how Igbo have been so successful in commercial endeavors. A typical Igbo man knows the power of money and wealth, as such some of his actions may seem alien, but there is much to learn from studying the Igbo.

Igbo marginalization is more so structural, the Igbo get no leg-up from the government, and they have to make their own way. This is demonstrated in the fact that many Igbo millionaires are not affiliated with government.

In regards to Nigeria’s present structure, one would be unwise to categorize what we have as a true “democracy” – true democratic principles are still just taking root. People saying that Igbo will not produce another president are only fooling themselves. If anything, the South East will take the VP position next election if Buhari chooses not to run again.

ba7man:
If everybody follow una practice group economy now, una go still shout marginalization.

STFU

NaijirianKing:
Other tribes usually only go where the Federal Government has invested. There's a heavy Federal presence in Lagos and Abuja, one being the former capitol and the other being the current capitol. The East has never had any such investment from the Federal Government.

Group economics is not about a region or location. Group economics about a community and a people. The reason it’s rare to see an Igbo beggar is proof of the system.

Take the example above, the Okada Man from the story made a conscious effort to go to another Igbo man in order to keep the money “within the family.” This was done even at the inconvenience of the Okada Man as he had to bypass others.

This model can be replicated in Kano, Abuja, Lagos, or even London. It’s an economic model, this is why Igbo can show up as strangers and within a few short years they have made quite an economic impact. Others should try to copy this model, the Igbo have many such inherent cultural traits that give them a leg up in regards to understanding wealth and money circulation.
