Your IGR in Lagos, who is responsible for its size?
You sit in your home and know what's going on in the south east. Lol who is fooling who?
You contribute the most in terms of IGR but where you come from, it is one of the lowest. How is that possible?

Your own case is different.
In a different group you claim to be Edo, another one you are Delta, here you are Yoruba. Where do you belong to? Impostor!!
The truth is, the Igbo are the engine room of trade and commerce in Nigeria. In the industry, we dey also.
SOME Yorubas might have old money in the past but that is past as you can see from the brown roofs that is characteristic of your towns.
shoekoodi no mind the yolobas, we are Lagos developers. that is why we most carry Lagos matter for head like Gala.

lol...if wars are won with the mouth then ojuku would have won the civil war.Igbos have the DNA of using their mouths to create what they want the situation to be but their laziness and lack of war and bizness acumen usually make them a laughing stock.I blame the Yorubas quoting you lazy things because reasonable people do not quote jesters who turns you into a jester too.Let the Ibos go and lick their astronomically deep wounds and learn how Yorubas did and still do it.Yorubas have always been achievers but I did not know frankly speaking that they can beat the Igbos in bizness this much.IT IS JUST TOO MUCH...ASTRONOMICALLY TOO MUCH.No wonder the SW is the 3rd economy in Africa.
KUDOS TO INNOSON FOR STRIVING SO HARD BUT I THINK HE SHOULD LEARN HOW PROFORCE DOES IT TO HAVE GONE INTERNATIONAL.Well basically most of the numerous Yoruba companies posted here have gone international while the few Igbos posted other than the oil companies are local.
I think bridges should be built between this bizness people and the Igbos should be taught how to be versatile lije the Yoruba guys.KUDOS.This thread is an eye opener for all Nigerians/Niaralanders.Everybody is a winner.
Sista! small, small ooh. Make dem no commit suicide grin

Lol. You are a fool. Did you read the text in the screenshot you put up there?

Fayose, being the poster boy for 'stomach infrastructure', was (according to your screenshot) merely sending his boys to teach/tutor una on stomach infrastructure (unless you are trying to imply that Abia and Anambra are better at it than Fayose), and you no shame to come here come broadcast am??

A Northern elder with no basic education says that Ibos own industries in Western Ngeria.
Everything is wrong with this statement.
This is obviously a lie that Ibos ran with.

Yorubas own most of the viable industries in Lagos and all over Nigeria.

Alistair Soyode's intention on visiting the United Kingdom in the late 90s, was to play football. That was where his passion lay. But after a while he found himself in the media world, and due to the lack of positive programmes targeted at Africans, he decided to do something about it.

So he set up BEN TV in the UK. Today, Soyode is the founder of ABC Group, the first African and Caribbean-focused Media Company, who are owners of BEN Television, Freevoice Radio, AC Perspective magazine and other online platforms in the United Kingdom. The Regional Director (Africa) for London based BEN Television is Lanre Ijaola, who works with Soyode, to ensure the station is smoothly run. The channel broadcasts on BSKYB SKY 238, NTA Startimes 154, cable, WAWOO TV and freeview platforms globally.

As an entrepreneur, Alistair Soyode's BEN Television has been the source of his community involvement which has gone on to becoming a house-hold name around the World.

BEN TV's mix of entertainment, news and sports programs reaches more than one million viewers across distribution networks-- not bad work for a man who originally came to England to play professional football.

His other entrepreneurial business interest that supports the community in capturing the opportunities available ranges in diverse ventures. He is into personal development strategies as well as been a link between different leaders from public and private sectors. Soyode has been given the Panache Global Entertainment Recognition and Award for Excellence (2014)
http://pgrae.over-blog.com/alistair-soyode

London, England (CNN) -- He may be the chief executive of a flourishing media company, but the last thing Alistair Soyode wants to be classified as is a media mogul.

"Classify me as someone like a farmer, because that's what I studied," he says as he attempts to describe a career arc that is as unorthodox as his television channel. "I'm a farmer who moved into television." Soyode founded Bright Entertainment Network (BEN) television, the first and longest-running African and Caribbean-focused television channel in the United Kingdom, in 2002.

Eight years later, BEN TV's mix of entertainment, news and sports programs reaches nearly one million viewers daily -- not bad work for a man who originally came to England to play professional football.

However, his aspirations to become a pro footballer failed to materialize. "I think the chill and the weather didn't allow me to concentrate, so I decided to pack my bags and find something else to do," he says in an interview with CNN's African Voices. After working in telecommunications and selling mobile phones, Soyode started BEN TV after trying and failing to find an appropriate production company to create shows for a Nigerian television station.

"I couldn't find a black TV station where I could go to ask them for programs ... so I thought 'if I set up a production house, I'll be able to produce a program and supply it to a Nigerian TV station'", he says. "And that's how the idea of BEN television came about."

While Soyode oversees BEN TV from offices in London, his first love is Nigeria, and he has two priorities toward this end. The first is to give something tangible back to his native country; the second to re-brand Nigeria as an iconic nation.

He is the European chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organization (NIDO), set up by the government in 2000 to unite Nigerians living abroad with an interest in contributing to the development of the nation. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/10/05/nigeria.soyode.ben/index.html

They should have asked him to list them. sad If he had said the northerners own 80% of the bureau de change operations, in Lagos, then I would have believed him. But I can never believe this lie he told about the Igbo-owned businesses in the Southwest. Mba nu! sad
