I use to think this scratched face Afonja had sense, it appears all Afonjas are thesame the more they type or talk the more their brain diminishes, I guess the law of diminishing returns works with Afonja brain cells this one is no exception he is even asking for proof from me after using his birth certificate and local government documents to carry expo for WAEC. Now the idiot wants to scam me into getting another document to use for jamb expo.

laudate:
Everybody is an Afonja in your own eyes, not so? I guess the 'juju those Afonja people cooked for you must be very potent, that is why you are shouting their name repeatedly like this. I gave you a simple assignment, that you should bring proof to show that Laudate is Yoruba. You have still not been able to come up with an answer. Instead you are here rambling like a pregnant she-goat. See your life?

I pray that God will enlighten your minds to see the truth, understand it and imbibe it. Nigerians all over the world will buy a good product, irrespective of where it is made, provided it satisfies their need on 3 levels: It is durable, fit for purpose, affordable, and easy to use.

The problem with Igbo manufacturers is that they think production and sales are everything. What about quality? What about durability? What about after-sales support? What about distribution and logistics? What about pricing? What about competition? I have seen too many Igbo businessmen ignoring one or more of these aspects, at their own peril. They are too focused on short-term gains, to the detriment of long-term sustenance of their businesses.

Take Innosons for example. How many dealers in the Southwest, Middle belt and the North, stock his cars or offer after-sales support on his vehicle. Very few. What has been done to sign-up dealers and open showrooms in various parts of the country? Very little. So how do people buy a product they are not familiar with, especially when the manufacturer is yet to spend time, money and effort building the brand?

If an Igbo chap produces a good product today, in less than 2 months, his fellow Igbo man will take a sample of that same product to China, Taiwan or Malaysia and ask the Chinese to make inferior copies of it, for him. They do it to undercut their hardworking fellow Igbo man who has committed sweat, tears, and labour to produce his goods. Why?? That is why the incidence of fake products is so high across the Niger. By the time people who initially patronised the original product, now end up buying the fake version because they cannot differentiate between the two, they are left with a bad taste in their mouth. And they will never go back to purchase that same product again.

When it comes to after-sales service, this is where many Igbo business men miss it. You buy a product from them which is supposed to have a warranty. The minute you leave their shop, and there is a problem with it, if you bring it back for replacement or repairs in a week's time, it becomes a problem. Instead of assisting you to resolve the problem, they will either ignore you or tell you that refunds do not exist in their dictionary. This is the easiest way to lose customers.

Look at the lubricants sector for example. There are quite a few Igbo businessmen who produce lubes for the public in this sector. But you would hardly see them organising workshops, trainings, or gatherings for mechanics nationwide, to popularise their products. They do not have any anti-counterfeiting measures in place, to deter those that may want to fake their products. Within a short while, their products become unpopular and no one wants to take a chance by using a product they are not familiar with.

A lot of companies take the principle of research & development seriously, as well as the practice of continuous improvement. I do not see this in a lot of Igbo-owned businesses. There are too many people copying what others have done, instead of going the extra mile to make their products stand out in terms of durability and quality.

I am a passionate believer in patronising Nigerian-made goods, but I will not do so at the expense of my good health or hard-earned peace of mind. Why would I buy a cable that does not come with a guarantee or warranty? Why would I buy an untested piece of equipment when there are no referrals to show the product is good? How many Igbo-made products have been thoroughly tested and checked for reliability, consistency and durability, before it is released into the market? Very, very few! So please do not blame the consumers for being wary.

Let me stop here, before I offend some people further. Anyway, the key to getting a higher market share is to take note of what your customers want and provide it to them, in a way that does not leave them with a bad impression at the end of the day, so they can keep coming back for more.

Hehehe.... didn't I say it earlier that you failed all your subjects in school? You must have dropped out before taking your SSCE exams, that is why you still do not realise that there are several minority tribes in Nigeria, in addition to the 3 major ones. Anyway, by pasting pictures of Afonja and Kanuri people on this thread, it shows that the 'jazz those Afonja people gave you, is still working very well. Try not to kill yourself over their matter, o! Because as I am looking at your condition, if their juju does not drive you mad....e go remain small!

afonjaheadhunt:
You keep failing at every attempt to make common sense like an im.becile sitting for professional exams, and you are just repetitive like a broken disc, when you speak trash drips like semen from a broken cd, did you not hear that you are an Afonja offshoot a clan slave tribe from the Afonjas you and your forebears are eternally in servitude to Afonjas, are you too dumb that your brain can't process that. Olodo afonja scratch face lunatic

Ehn...I no talk am? That juju wey dem cook for you don dey make you craze. The only thing be say your own craze never enter inside market. Anyway, thank you for describing yourself so well to the rest of us. Daalu zi! You just confirmed that you are nothing but "an im.becile sitting for professional exams, repetitive like a broken disc, an Afonja offshoot, when you speak trash drips like semen from a broken cd, and your forebears are eternally in servitude to Afonjas..." Who am I to argue with you, when that description fits you so well? Chai! You even called yourself a "scratch face lunatic." Na so dis matter pain you reach?

[s][/s]I swear down ,I'm not making this up.80 % of the businesses listed here are in tsunamic debt. I know this very well. Yoruba are good when it comes to packaging, media noise. But they are just empty.
Did you know that many Yoruba guys cone to Aba to make clothes and footwears,return to Lagos and package it as their own,sell it very expensive.
I will also admit that Yoruba dominate media very well . they like office work ie service job. But when it comes to management and sustainability. They can ruin your business. They are good at PR, they embrace it so well while Igbo people don't fancy those things. But any day one Igbo man will become successful through that area,he will populate it with his kits and kins

Iamzik:
Good.

Another reason is the fact that so much emphasis is placed on money in the east. A Yoruba or Hausa man may consider seniority in family decision no matter how poor the eldest may be but for igbo it is most often by who can throw money around. I'm saying this from experience of my igbo family friends. You need to de-emphasis this notion that money is everything. It leads to desperation and artificial inflation.

So you can see that your large population and lesser landmass is what accounts for large number of ndigbo living outside the east and not because they are desperate to go and develop other states as often claimed here. Igbos are arguably the most dispersed tribe found in every State and region.

And the same reason why your native folks will want to reserve the little land for indigenes rather than sell it off to strangers. I can relate with that.

That said, don't you think it's suicide for kanu to now encourage all igbos to come back home? If they all heed the call you will immediately have a humanitarian crisis in your hands.

And for the same reason, igbos need to respect and be grateful to all regions and states where they currently reside. I have not seen that respect even here on nairaland.

The host community cannot be at the mercy of the stranger. It is the other way round

If north /east or west/east give each other quit notice today, the east will feel the heat more because there are more igbos in the north than you have northerners in the east. Same goes for the west.

I will always advocate for true federalism, restructuring and resource control over session anyday anytime.
A seceding Biafra will be a land-locked country within a country. Not funny if you know the implications bro

laudate:
Hmmn.... other people see it differently, bro.' The proportion of Yoruba people going to Aba to make clothes and footwear, is far much less than the number of their people that makes those things, within the Southwest. They just do not make noise about it, unlike your people.

Here is another view.

afonjaheadhunt:
Igbo's stop embarrassing Igbo's.

Moreover comparing Afonja manufacturers to Igbo manufacturers

Equates to comparing Onitsha to Oshogbo in development shame.

jiangchu:
nobody hates Ibo. the ibo people are so proud and boastful. that they disregard any host community culture and call them names like inyamiri. ofem.m.anu. that attract hatred.

i specificall use Aba made shoe just to promote our own.

afonja shut up, you are so dumb you never stay on topic, between where does any one make shoe in the SW, Olodo.

Onye eberibe. Who is an Afonja? If you had kept quiet, I would have thought you had some sense. But now you have opened your mouth, it is obvious you lack reasoning skills. Onye nzuzu!

afonjadie:
Afonja afonjadie the Osu, even if you keep quite no one would assume you have sense cause you cannot hide that your scratched imbellic face, anyone that see you sees a scratched faced Afonja Osu slowpoke and does not expect any sense from your kind that's why you live in Isolation with your parents as your only consolation at 45 sad life for a poor miserable afonjite.Osuite

laudate:
You see why I was praying earlier that God should dash you sense? There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, and yet you feel anyone who does not agree with you is an Afonja... you are so clueless. Collect a refund from the schools you attended.

afonjadie:
Heya e pain am, as an im.becile afonjadie you are too emotional, afonjadie you are demented all will understand and bear with you, even your mothers have been praying for you every year at the Osun Oshogbo festival, who knows one day your story might change like that of Jumoke, only that afonjadie yours will be from an im.becile on the street to an im.becile in a shelter home with your likes, afonjadie your birthday will be celebrated for you yearly by your likes and well wishers.

afonjadie:
afonjadie so you resort to crying, im.becile at 45 pity your poor mother, afonjadie. Haba.
