I believe ibos' are go-getters...much more better hustlers..

Infact an average ibo man is an engineer in his own field cos he lives and breeds on inovation.. Especially when he thrives to meet the endgoal of maximizing his profits.

Here comes the Inferiority Complex tribe again...

I agree with the last reason most.

Proudly igbo

[quote author=PapaBrowne post=53625193]The apprentice system is in my opinion the most important ingredient of the IBO entrepreneurial success story [/quot
Like what Don Jazzy is currently doing with Mavis record; Folks might not know but that's igbo apprentice system. Time will come when he'll pay-off the current Mavis singers...

proudly igbo

How many Igbos have succeeded in business?
Only few.
The so called successful Igbo business men are either greedy exploiters or cultists.

Igbo kwenu.

Please watch out for them..

They will soon arrive..
Them no de use ear hear igbo

No argue with them, we know who we are


Okay Op heres one

Igbo man is not lazy

Igbo man... this is a good one, and i think important one.... An igbo man puts logic above culture .... if you look at nigeria or if you have been around tribes in nigeria, most tribes wear their culture and religion like a cloth...thereby not allowing them excercise their potential.... And you can agree with me that many African culture contradicts innovative logic which can help the society system...

Most tribes in Nigeria are slaves to their culture and religion, thereby shuting them out from the rest of the world...

They r coming

Its a Blatant Lie!

I agree most with the mentorship point. The multiplier effect is massive. Most times the apprentice grows to outclass his boss. E.g no one hears the name of who mentored Innoson or Coscharis.

But the most successful business in Nigeria is a Hausa man #aliko dangote...The average hause man is a trader in his own space I.e fruits seller, suya seller, etc

I did not witness the Nigerian Civil war (1968-1970) because I was not born by that time, but I have read a lot about it in addition to listening to eye witness accounts from those who were there and even fought on different sides.

The Igbos lost almost everything during the war. They abandoned their businesses and properties outside Igbo land and moved home for safety as they became easy targets for mischief makers. These assets were mostly forfeited, confiscated or hijacked. This was the era when the term “Abandoned Property” became popular and real.

After the war, they were further subjected to financial and economic hardship, as their bank accounts were credited with a flat rate of 20 pounds irrespective of the volume of Biafra pounds in those accounts, effectively rendering them penniless.

This happened almost fifty years ago, as today the Igbos have moved on with their lives conquering the Nigerian business environment and building large business empires for themselves. Everywhere in Nigeria today, you will find very successful Igbo business men and women making the country proud in their various entrepreneurial pursuits.

How did they do it despite all the setback and challenges?. These should be some of the reasons why they have become a phenomenon in entrepreneurship.

Courage: The average Igbo is very courageous and ready to surmount every challenge in the pursuit of anything he sets out to accomplish. They are also very adventurous and ready to relocate to new places despite the inherent risks, as long as they can see opportunities. There is probably at least one Igbo man or woman in every country in the world.

Resilience: They focus on opportunities and ignore challenges, this makes them very tough and flexible. The Igbo man will nurture his small business painstakingly taking risks and experimenting and innovating with different strategies until the business begins to boom and flourish.

Creativity: I read accounts of how the Igbos improvised and created their tanks and refineries during the civil war. Today the likes of Innocent Chukwuma of Innoson Industries are building cars and fabricating spare parts for the Nigerian Air force. If you still have doubts about the Igboman’s creativity then visit Nnewi and Aba to see how all types of machinery are fabricated.

Support system: The have a way of rallying round each other to ensure that their successes are multiplied. You will find all types of Igbo unions, clubs and associations in every city in this country; and even in most countries of the world. They have gone a step further to install Igbo traditional rulers outside their ancestral homes (eg. Eze Ndigbo of Lagos), who will govern their affairs and mediate in crises situations.

Apprentice System: Success in Entrepreneurship requires knowledge, mentorship and capital. The Igbos developed their own home grown system of entrepreneurship. This unique form of apprenticeship allows a male family member or community member to spend time and work with another family. During this period, the apprentice will learn the trade of his master and would also receive mentorship. At the end of the agreed period, the master will establish his apprentice; either by setting up a separate business for him, or giving him money or tools to earn a living. This system has helped to spread wealth from the rich to poor in Igbo communities; and many of the big Igbo business men of today went through this system. The likes of Mr Innocent Chukwumma of Innoson Motors, Mr Cosmas Maduka of Coscharis Motors and Chief Alex Chika Okafor of A-Z petroleum are all beneficiaries of this system.


These reasons may not be exhaustive and it will be nice to hear other reasons, I may have omitted.

what you talking about, I'm proud igbo all the time, not IPOB though.. Every tribe has its own fair share of bad people, no tribe is perfect.

You can lie to the dead!

The Igbos are the most intelligent group in the Black race worldwide. U can ask Google if you want and stop hating!

The Igbo's are the greatest in this country! Like it or leave it. I'm not Igbo but based on my assessment as a citizen of this country I move a motion that bows for the Igbo's as the greatest.

They created weapons during the Biafra war but we based on our political, religious, tribal, sectional differences we've failed to ask questions as to how they manufactured those weapons!

Invest in an Igbo technically and otherwise we as a country will become the China of Africa and not just the biggest in Africa for nothing sake.

na wa o. so na only ibo dey succeed for business abi.
i guess dangote is also an ibo man

Oya, give us another name.

When we see or hear a fact, it would be good we concurred. I'm not Ibo, but I believe they are a very industrious set.

Whether you like the tribe or not, you cannot but agree that they have a strong business acumen.

They are hardworking and goal oriented.

They value their home land and regardless of how much they earn in Abuja or and other state for that matter, they always invest a large chunk at home.


I hope Nigerians can stop always highlighting the weaknesses or shortcomings of a tribe and boast on the positives. Only then can we truly be united.
BTW I aint igbo

holamiday:
I am a pure-blooded Afonja but i admit the igbo man is all that and even more. If given adequate support, the igbo man can single-handedly industrialize Nigeria and take us to that height in production we've really sought for decades on end.

Anyways, you forgot to add that the igbo man is also criminally minded & un-trustworthy. This vice still helps him succeed in business anyways.

Are the Chinese, Lebanese and Indians not also criminally minded? Does it take away their business ingenuity? What of Hausas, Yorubas, Edos? Are they saints? My guy pls concentrate on the business savvy nature of the Igbos and leave criminality out of it cos every tribe on this planet have criminals but not all are business savvy and enterprising like the Igbos, Jews, Chinese, Indians, Lebanese etc.

Igbo Kwenu!
