Well doing business in any part of the world is good but you are not only dealing with goods and services but with people.
This post focuses on the attitude of each tribe to business and what each tribe must know when interdealing business with each other.i would mention the following under Equity,Hospitality,Accomodativeness,trust,loyalty,confidence,Integrity,Error and Delivery.
lets start with the Igbo
Igbo
Equity:They treat everyone equally,considering what is best for the business,but they prefer business over their family&religion.ie an igbo man's brother must pay money if he takes things from his brother's shop! no consideration by blood.
Hospitality:if they are in another man's land,not all the time are they hospitable m esp when their host needs help.They are only hospitable to their own in another mansland.in igboland,dispute over business is the order of the year.
Accomodativeness:no to others in their own land,yes to others in another mansland.it is rare to see them open up to others of another

Trust:it is hard for an igbo man to trust other tribe business partners unless after many successes than failures &dissapointments.It would take a long time for you to gain their trust but their hardwork is enough trust for any outsider to embrace.
Loyalty:They are loyal to the core in business through any means wether hook or crook so far they gain profit in business and production ends in consumer consumption.
however,among themselves selfishness,greed and pride breeds disloyalty.
Confidence:Technologically,industrially i vouch for them anyday.Business wise,they are there and won't fail any other tribe so far money is available& circulating.
however,much emphasis is on quantity of goods&services than quality so as for other tribes to keep them in business by patronage.
Integrity:not all igbo businesses and businessmen are bad.but by their goods &services you shall know them.quantity more than quality is mostly the norm.
Error:in production, mostly a no,but sometimes a yes due to the businessmind act

Delivery:very efficient.

lets go on to the next and it is the Hausa.

Hausa.
Equity:its a no! considering the status of the other tribe! only the rich and wealthy can be treated equally in business.They Prefer also religion and culture over business.other tribes won't get a fair treatment unless they can speak their language or be religiously affliated.
A hausa man would sell things cheaper to his fellowman what he sells costlier to another tribe in another land!
Hospitality:They are not hospitable to other tribes who do not embrace their religion or culture when doing business in their own land.it is however so sad that they buy hospitality in other lands with money and religion.They are violent and hostile in nature.They only hear go! and not come!& vice versa.They r united as outsiders doing the same trade in another mansland.
Accomodativess:embrace their religion &culture then u can do business.There is hardly a dispute among them.so far u can say rakadede!

Trust:doing business with them by investing 100million and taking a break to come back,you would still meet the same 100million.
This explains why sm other tribes patronize them and their enviroment.
loyalty:you can never doubt that among them.They are loyal to themselves&to their boss with religion as the main standpoint.disloyalty can be a mirror to an outsider being that the Hausaman does not think of tommorow thereby squandering all profits.
Confidence:iliteracy breeds underconfidence,literacy breeds overconfidence.however religion is the backbone here! they have no confidence in other tribes not of their religion.
Integrity:They are crafty and cunning.if you are not wise and smart as well,u cant do business with a hausa.
Religion is their integrity.
Error:they put much emphasis on religion.
Delivery:great,but targeted.They want other tribes to rely on them only.They wreck other thriving businesses so they can be an only sole surviving business with monopoly.

Someone will just wake and start writing his opinion like it matters

Quite tribalistic and sentimental write up... individuality and environmental factors play a bigger role not tribe or religion

The truth is always bitter.u said individuality and enviromental which also refers to who & where!
either igbo,yoruba or hausaland intertrading,we can see it all.

Yoruba
Equity:They treat outsider'r equal than themselves.They are yet still peaceful with other tribes who benefit largely from that preferential treatment
be warned as very soon such feat would stop.
They put tribe before religion be4 business.
Hospitality:well,we can see that their hospitality is oversurplus to other tribes that sometimes it is to their own detriment!
They can take nonsense from their host but the daythey rise up against any form of injustice,cheatinG .you would have know. you dnt mess or play games Accomodation:100% to outsiders &people who never Worth it.
