It Is Time For Igbos To Checkmate The Chinese. Enough Is Enough by Nobody: 8:59am On Apr 21, 2020 |
In the 50s to mid 70s, the Lebanese were spread all over west Africa including Nigeria and they dominated trade and manufacturing. They made themselves the middle men to so many international goods. They were not black. They were racist. They got very rich off African countries and controlled their economy. They overtime, became very rich minorities. All these was the norm until the Igbos came and within 2 decades, displaced them and their monopoly. Today Igbos dominate trade that the Lebanese used to control all over west Africa. Now Africans are facing a new challenge from another racist group; the Chinese. They are very good with trading just like the Lebanese but in addition, their main advantage is a strong home manufacturing sector. The long term plan of the Chinese is to turn Africa into a permanent consumer market and dominate the economies. This is where Igbos should take a stand and repeat what they have done in the past. Igbos need to start serious manufacturing of goods on a scale never seen before in Africa. Igbos cannot sit down and watch the Chinese use their manufacturing advantage to take over Africa. Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha need to be Fully Activated. Enough said. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

Rich4god: Because I am speaking to Igbos specifically (no apologies) but Every other group in Nigeria is free to do the same IF they choose to. I am only watching out for my people's interest which in the long term will protect Nigerian, African, and black peoples interest. 15 Likes |

You have to understand manufacturing is not easy to dominate like trading We need functional vocational training centers in every local government. That would teach real skills n vocations Glass polishing n manufacturing Advanced welding Automobile technicians Chemical technicians Several ICT skills And the rest We would need to work with our Universities ...offering causes needed by the industry ...a university that's dynamic in the programs they offer Without government support it won't be easy Then we need an Igbo sovereign funds ...that would invest in Igbo ideas and fund project Too create and investment where business men would meet innovators ...to strike deals 12 Likes |

Deepfeel: To be honest, I am not a fan of foreign investors. They tend to run away when things get tough and they don’t usually reinvest their profits locally. Local investors tend to be more stable. They tend to ride the tough times and reinvest in the local economy. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Even without regional government the Igbo nation can form a cooperation that would be owned by all igbos .....we would operate as a company not a region ...states would have shares ...7.5% each ...then the rest is sold to the igbos world wide as shares All road would be major projects would be funded and owned by the people that invest in it ....if say onitsha owerri road cost 100bn ...u can do it say 100,000 per share ...raise the money build the road ...toll the road ...30% for road maintenance ..70% to share holders ...for say 50 years Airports can be built with ease ...sea ports ...abia sea port can become real ...and the revenue shares among the share holders 20 Likes |

mrvitalis: Wonderfully stated. I know it wouldn't be easy but the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. We first need to change our mindset. There are so many things that we import from china that is already made in Aba. There are some that can easily be made in Aba or Nnewi without intense vocational training required. Lets start small and increase exponentially. There are so many low hanging fruits in the manufacturing sector that we can grab now without making much changes. 5 Likes |

The goal of this thread is to force us Igbos to start thinking differntly. The world as we know it is rapidly changing. Its either we adapt to the changes or we die. But make no mistake, the Chinese are coming and they have no principle. They will eat your lunch in front of you and drink your water while you watch helplessly. 3 Likes |

op do you think Igbo's will be able to challenge the Chinese without having an independent state? You just stated that Chinese have been able to do achieve this feat because of their strong home manufacturing sector. Do you think you can develop manufacturing without critical infrastructure like power, seaports etc The Chinese you speak of had to go communist and shut down their economy against imports just to industrialize. As stands China can even influence your presdo to target Igbo businesses talk more of challenging them. 1 Like |
