Igbos Dominates Nigeria's Commercial Sector But Forgot The Media - Reno by Obio4real(op): 6:44am On Jun 10, 2020
Motivational speaker and former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan has blamed the Igbos for dominating Nigeria's commercial sector and forgetting to dominate the media too, which is why they do not have the 'air power' in Nigeria.

The Igbos, who are sometimes referred to as the 'Jews of Africa' dominates most sectors of Nigeria's economy but few such as Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (Sun Newspaper), invested in the media.

Pastor Omokri said such mistake was not made by the Jews in Europe and America.

He said on Twitter:
"The mistake Igbos made, which the Jews in Europe and America did not make, is that they focused only on dominating Nigeria’s commercial sector, and forgot the media.

"The media is like air power. Once you have it, no one will mess with you".

The author of many books further blamed the Igbos for not using Nollywood the way the Yorubas have been using the media in their favour.
"Igbos should have used Nollywood the way the Yoruba use the media. Sadly, Nollywood actually works against them.

"It makes others perceive Igbos wrongly, as ritualists. Ndi’Igbo saw Nollywood as a money maker, and failed to see it as a game changer".

On the apprenticeship system practiced by the Igbos, he described it as the most successful in the world.
"The Igbo apprenticeship system is the most successful in the world bar none.

"Alaba International market alone generates $4 billion according to
@RobertNeuwirth.

"Why can't Nollywood do movies on that and promote Ndi’Igbo, rather than ritual and juju?".

Reno, the world knows who the Igbos are. The stories of Igbos has been immortalised by people like Chinua Achebe and many more.

We in this generation are doing pretty good at excellence. We cannot start fighting media wars with jobless people who are alive just because of propaganda.

Hard work speaks more than propaganda.

The section of the mainstream media owned by our people is actually few like the nations, tribune and tvc etc but the difference is that they are owned by alleged corrupt Sw politicians projecting our yoruba ethnic interest unlike Ibo nollywood producers/businessmen whose interest is to make profit. Nonetheless, You hardly see any of those their mainstream nollywood movies glorifying Nigeria as a country and showing our flag like Hollywood does for America. I feel to them, that passes their message that they are not happy being called Nigerians. my opinion though

Igbos have no Jewish blood, there is no spiritual connection between Jews and Biafrans. Ibos ancestors were idols worshipper, then Christians

He made a valid point...but I quarantee you that the Nigerian government would have sabotaged any effort by Ndigbo in pioneering the media industry in nigeria....Nevertheless, Radio Biafra is doing just good and out of Nigerian's jurisdiction.

The cause of this hatred is not far from the Civil War. Many igbos believe they were wronged, Why? Because their parents and elders told them so. Many of the things they were told as a child are;

-Hausa are not your friend and they are illiterate
-Yoruba are cowards and they are not to be trusted
- Both Hausa and Yoruba attacked your people without doing anything to them
- it only Igbos that are hard working in Nigeria. Hausa are stupid and Yoruba are lazy
-South south are only good for house girl and boyboy

Vanguard is owned by an Ishekiri man

Channels by a man from Auchi

Thisday and Sun by igbo men

Only Punch, Tribune, Premium times, The Nation is owned by Yorubas


Please enough of this propaganda


Nollywood scripts in which majority of the cast are igbos are written by igbos themselves.

Igbos are not the only players in Nollywood.

I guess their parents and elders also told them that the fulani herdsmen are shooting them in their farms for nothing?

The elders and those parents have been brainwashing them that Buharri has allowed innocent people to be dying like chicken everywhere in Nigeria.

Their parents trained them to hate the omo alaiye and the omo oniles who are right now standing at all bus stops waiting for free money.

Their parents caused them to hate the northern almajirins who looted their shops in 2018 before elections.

Their elders lied to them that 21 men from Adazi Ani were killed in broad daylight while holding a meeting on a single day in the north.

Their parents even confused them that Deji Adeyanju was attacked by northern boys and beaten to pulp on the streets of Abuja in 2019.

Keep blaming others.

Reno Omokri, I think they have access to the media but play fairly

They only use that medium to voice out their mind when the nation is in jeopardy, or to enlighten the public as to what's beneficial to them

The aim of creating the media in the first place is not for manipulation as it is with a mischievous mind but to say the truth!

But now that the game has changed, we need to decide a means to put an end to this evil

So to catch a monkey, you need to think like one

A word is enough for the wise
