Igbo industry starts and ends with setting up a 2x2 shop where he retails mostly imported and substandard merchandise. If an igboman tells you that you are not hardworking, what he actually means is that until you and your ethnicity also decide to become a race of nomadic 2x2 shop owners, then you don't know the meaning of hard work. But unfortunately for them, some of us are more ambitious in life. In fact, Yoruba men would rather leave the rudiments of the igbo kind of trading to their women/wives (na we dey open shops for our wives, rather than being the ones sitting in the shop to sell market), while they (Yoruba men) challenge their minds with more ambitious pursuits.

No matter how educated they are, at some point they always go back to trading in their signature 2x2 shops to sell substandard imported goods. The overwhelming majority of them that live and earn a living outside their region are involved in one form of trading or another because that's what they're good at. You will hardly find them in skilled labour because they prefer to be in their shops. They will rather embrace drug-trafficking if trading fails to bring them riches than become skilled welders, electricians, mechanics, tailors, and the likes.

Be it in Kano, in Kaduna, in Gombe, in Lagos, wherever you find them in their numbers they are most engaged in trading. Which isn't bad of itself except that in their twisted minds, they would have us believe that entrepreneurship starts and ends with being a trader.

That's nonsense because what we have been witnessing throughout this thread is the true definition of Entrepreneurship and Industry. Yorubas are the TRUE entrepreneurs of Nigeria. They are the ones oiling the engine of the organized private sector. They are versatile and can be found in every sector of the economy, providing leadership, innovation, and cutting edge solutions. Yet they are not noisemakers. That right there is TRUE Entrepreneurship.

You really nailed a lot of points on this post. There is nothing industrious about Igbos, and this thread has laid to rest all their chestbeating lies. If you ask a typical Igboman what he does, he will tell you he is into trade or into importing of cheap fake low quality goods from asia or junks from europe/america and exporting of Ugwu grin.
Ask what he means by trade, he will tell you selling of used clothes, selling of used electronics, selling of spare parts etc. It is only Igbos that refer to selling and buying as trade in the world, anywhere else in the world, trades are skilled profession like electrician, welding, landscaping, millwright, mechanic etc. Igbos are also the only people in the world that learn how to sell electronics, clothes, laptops, spare parts etc for up to 3 years because they are taught the lies, the gimmicks, the dubious acts during this period. Like seriously, how hard can it be that you have to learn how to sell clothes for 3 years under a boss if not that everything about the business is shady.
Like you rightly said, they are master of setting up 2X2 shops, and they terribly suck in operating the so called 2X2 shops. Go to Ladipo, or Alaba or Oshodi you see about 50 or more 2X2 shops side by side selling fvcking the same thing. No packaging, no ingenuity, no difference just pure stupidity and retardation. So if they don't dupe a naive customer, their business barely survive.

Kam industries
Steel ,nails and rods
Kamoru and Bolanle yusuf

this Alhaji Kamoru Yusuf and his wife Bolanle, the brains behind Nigeria’s first independently owned cold roll steel complex, which they are building in Illorin, the capital of Kwara State. “The scrap material I use in making roof nail caps goes for around N50 [30 cents] per tonne in China. In Nigeria, they cost me N25,000 [$160]. I couldn’t compete successfully. I had to set up a factory in China to acquire scrap cheaply,” a smiling and now successful Alhaji Kamoru Yusuf says, reclining in his black leather office chair. His massive office overlooks the new white and blue steel plant in the large factory compound with warehouses holding rows and rows of nail-making machines. In many ways, the steel plant is his way of providing a local solution to his supply chain problems.

ji Kamoru Yusuf, affectionately known as ‘Kam’, ‘Kam wire,’ or ‘Kamal’ to the locals of Kwara State, is the founder and CEO of Kam Industries, [b]a strong contender for the title of Nigeria’s largest independently owned nail and wire-producing company. It produces different types of nails in addition to wire mesh for concrete reinforcement, binding wires and roofing sheets, as well as other building materials. The company has five factories in Illorin, the capital of Kwara state, [/b]and a granite quarry just outside of the small city. Over a million bags of nails and 1.3 million tonnes of roofing sheets pour out of Kam’s factories to supply builders in Nigeria and West Africa. The 47-year-old, self-taught engineer and self-made multimillionaire has, with the support of his wife, turned a N10,000 advance he received on finishing a trading apprenticeship in 1987 into a $300-million industrial conglomerate. And he has done so without political connections or even a high school education. Bolanle Yusuf attributes the rise of Kam Industries to aggressive manufacturing, hard work and good old-fashioned entrepreneurship.

Kam’s trademark is a pair of black, plastic-rimmed glasses. His vision has been impaired by years of welding work – a skill he combined with what Bolanle stresses is an exceptionally brilliant imagination to design and construct several metal processing machines for producing nails – often using spare parts from trucks. After studying German designs, he would forge the bodies, purchase engines that he couldn’t produce himself, and then assemble machine after machine. Kam’s desire to design and produce is almost compulsive. “Anytime I attend steel wire exhibitions, I go there to spy technology, check each country’s design, how they design it, and get the catalogue,” he says. “I investigate how to redesign them to work for Nigeria. I go to so many factories to study their operations. While people are running around trying to get a PhD certificate, I’m travelling round the world to get the knowledge of the masters.”
