Unfortunately most of the new generation ibo youths are beginning to abandon this old but successful tradition.

Biko any tribe that want to do apprenticeship with us should write a long application letter and submit to the nearest 2 by 2 shop closest to him.

It will be deliberated upon in the next Umunna meeting.

Madam, If you had not been a critic of Buhari and dressed as you do in this picture, all you'll be hearing from children of hate and perdition is insults upon insult.
You're a Terrorist to them(simply because of your dress),
You're an illiterate.
A lesser Human being.
Igbos will NEVER change, it's their trait.
They'll commend this-one of them-(Pictures below) and insult yours

Ayed44:
In Yorubaland, we also have our own apprenticeship system. But in our own apprenticeship system, the servant will religiously serve the master for a number of years and thereafter it is the servant that will still pay the master. After serving the master for the agreed number of years, the master will now demand for money and some other items to do what we call "FREEDOM", after which the master will send the servant away empty handed to go and start from the scratch. Most servants may never be able to raise a start-up capital in their lifetime. Isn't this wickedness?

Should we blame the Igbos for this too?

Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has stirred up a debate on Twitter after sharing her opinion that the Igbo apprenticeship system have contributed to why many people from other tribes resent Igbos.

It is given that the age long Igbo apprenticeship system has produced a lot of multimillionaires of Igbo extraction to the wonder of many from other tribes.

The Igbo apprenticeship system allows a businessman take a young person to learn about his business and eventually get settled (given start-up capital) after an agreed period of time, which usually lasts between 5 to 7 years. During the service period, the younger person (servant) serves the businessman (master) while learning the business.

The Igbos have used the system to build themselves and relatives into renowned business men and women even where apprentices have little, or no formal education.

A Twitter user had said: “The Igbo’s apprenticeship program is the only ‘MBA’ class in the world that teaches the real intricacies of running a business, the practical application of SWOT and PESTEL analysis. And when you graduate, they’ll give you seed capital to start the business. A system that works.”
In replying the tweet, Aisha Yesufu pointed out that “The Igbo apprenticeship is an amazing system and the reason Igbos are great in business.”

However, she went on to say that “Everything has it’s advantage and disadvantage and that same system has also portrayed Igbos as clannish people who only employ their own people and never assimilate”

Her tweets opened up a debate as she went on to state that the apprenticeship system have contributed to Igbos been resented the same way Jews are resented.

She went on; “These are my opinions and thoughts over the years and I might be completely wrong but this is how I see it.

“There is a need to take a deliberate look at the Igbo apprenticeship system & begin to look at ways of inclusion. It can start with 5% inclusion of others. When you always go to your village to bring those that will work for you how do you expect the people where you are to feel?

“Just like the Jews, Igbos are resented & I have always wondered why? Is it because they are successful and can achieve anything from nothing? Is it the resilience? I concluded it is because it seems no matter how long they stay with you or you with them you are never one in biz

“A situation where as a business person you only employ your people via the apprenticeship model & no matter how long you stay in a place you never employ the indigenes there except to load and off load. there will be resentment. More if it is not one off experience but the norm

“The Jews too have that trait. Family businesses. Helping each other grow in business and capacity to gang up(if na one naira na one naira) on business issues are common traits shared by both Igbos and Jews. The others feel like outsiders not allowed to share in the goodness

“Systems are to be looked at and upgraded from time to time. It is also important to look at how things are perceived by others. You don’t have to change but just know this is how this action is seen by others

“In all the riots I witnessed as a child, I always say it is more economical than religion. Host community usually think it is the others that kept them impoverished. They feel those monies would have been theirs if these people weren’t there. People don’t blame their lazy selves.

Last 50 years they were screaming Igbo domination in affairs of the country, Igbos left politics for them and minded their business now their problem is Igbo apprenticeship. A system borne out Igbo personal money and struggle. Before you know it they'd task Igbos to start carrying the whole country along for apprenticeship based on quota system.

I pray soo.
Because this days everybody wants to be rich sooner than later. Patience is now a luxury many of youths can't afford.

bigpriik:
So igbo obsession don reach Twitter too h mmmm...

Bkayyy:
Everywhere in the lips of Nigerians is Igbo, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo.
"if they are not talking about you that means you are worthless"
"And if they are not hating, that means you are not doing it right"
Mehn it's not easy to be an Igbo person.
If you are Igbo, celebrate being born an Igbo every Sunday because you defeated more than 7.3 Billion people in this world to be born into this beautiful tribe.
You are a hero/heroine just to be born an Igbo.

Last 50 years they were screaming Igbo domination in affairs of the country, Igbos left politics for them and minded their business now their problem is Igbo apprenticeship. A system borne out Igbo personal money and struggle. Before you know it they'd task Igbos to start carrying the whole country along for apprenticeship based on quota system.

kingi777:
If that other tribe is taken to learn apprenticeship, after 1 to 2 months; his parents will start complaining that their son's oga has not given them money or food. Before you know it, it would turn to this Igbo man is using our son; Igbo men are greedy; he doesn't even allow our son to visit us. That patience to endure to learn the rudiments of the business for 5 to 7 years is hardly found unlike that Igbo boy that would persevere believing that one day ego better.

Overgrownbaby:
In my next life Chukwu I want to be onye Igbo .. the Igbo apprenticeship is based on patience and humility , if you serve your master well you learn a lot from him , if e easy other tribes will run it but it’s not , everywhere you see an Igbo man he is calculating or making moves to change his condition or upgrade , when other tribes are busy OWAMBE-ING, umuigbo are making moves .. 1+1= 2 thousand naira and 2+2=4 million naira , no be so umunnem?
