When I graduated is irrelevant

YOU clearly do not understand the meanings of the words you are throwing around
Empirical is not the antonym of Qualitative
You said you assertion was based on observation. Empirical by definition implies just that "based on observation

It is clear you have no clue of the difference between quantitative an qualitative research and are just blabbing ignorantly

aribisala0:
Qualitative is not the antonym of empirical

Research can be qualitative AND Empirical

If indeed you went to university then you wasted money and should ask for a refund

aribisala0:
By implication 90% of the super rich in the south are Ibo?

aribisala0:
By the wat why are you comparing Ibo to "Northern" Ibo is an ethnic group and there are dozens of ethnic groups in the North e.g there are Yoruba , Igala Tiv and Fulani with very different cultures

Certainly Yoruba are very different from Fulani. Are you Arrewa. That is the person who is always insisting on grouping the whole north together.
So why single out Ibos from the south

aribisala0:
Experience is not data
Does every old person have the same experience or opinion?
Even if you try you cannot force me

Take my position or leave it
Your position is absurd

You gave a specific figure in % what is the basis?

You cannot tell us the population of Imo state based on how long you have been around or the crowd of people you move with can you?

aribisala0:
Guy if indeed you went to school you would know that that is a ridiculous basis for any statistical claims
You have been around a long time ? So what? Are you the only that has been around a long time?
Your claim is one that needs to be buttressed by evidence from research or objective study not anecdote
Itoo have been around a long time and seen a lot of plastic blue kettles .So what?

aribisala0:
Anyone can just manufacture any statistic and say it is observation and experience

The weight of the claim being made is not one that can be buttressed by phantom "observation and experience"

I can just wake up and s ay 90% of northerners possess a plastic blue kettle from observation and experience?

DesChyko:
Your intra-ELITE wealth transfer narrative doesn't exclude the vast poor natives from the identity of being a Northerner. For all your generational wealth transfer, the poverty rate in your region is almost twice that of the region you think you have a say on the way they use their money.
Stop barking up the wrong tree. Numbers from the civil war down to this date show the Igbo system is working. Numbers show the generational poverty transfer in the North is thriving too.

aribisala0:
How do you work this one out?

On what basis do you get these numbers

DesChyko:
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

This is the Igbos' way of life.

That being said, the poverty rate in South East Nigeria is 42% in the most primitive of areas, while that of the North is 78% of their population.

This heavily contradicts the OP's idea of generosity and wealth spread.

Hardfacts234:
Don't get it twisted, racism exist. Like "black monkey" reference or Nigerians calling Chinese "chinko"

But much of what happens to blacks in Europe and America is 'economic discrimination'.

It's rare to see Europeans or Whites in general being racist against the Japanese people.

juman:
In wealth transfer to others, igbos are the best in nigeria.

selemempe:
we know how Obi Cubana made Cubana chief priest a rich man. Please tell us one northerner who BUA group chairman made a rich man

Mumu boy. You use to have a yyeske account where you claimed to be from Anambra. We didn't even know you were an abokì unity begger from kebbi

Mchawi:
Everything you said is nonsense. Go and take a sit oga

jimyjames:
As long as Nigerian politics is concerned northerner will always dominate the South politically, it has always being like that, that's how the British created it to be , it has nothing to do with riches

Yankee101:
Lol. Not all the electronics are cash bought. A good number are credit purchases. You settle the manufacturers or big dealers after you sell

jimyjames:
My friend I repeat northerner dominance has nothing to do with riches, their dominance is pure strength in Unity and population something the South lacks, northern Unity and political strength made them wealthy, in the 70s when Nigerian economy was in the hands of Europeans Lebanese, Indians, Nigeria introduced what was known as indigenization degree foreigners were forced to sell shares to Nigeria indigenes igbos had no money to buy any cause the lost everything in the war most of the wealthy Nigerians both from North and South West their wealth can be traced to the Indigenization degree .

jimyjames:
The northern dominance has nothing to do with the handful of rich people they have, the British created Nigeria with northern dominance in mind , right from the creation of Nigeria till date northern region are more populated and more united by religion making them strong politically, the South is divided and weak politically, the South is ten times richer than North , the weakness in South is lack of Unity the strength in the North is their unity nothing more it has nothing to do with riches

Muna4real:
Your political affluence and dominance have not helped your people. Go to your roots and teach them how you made money. That's how sensible people reason.

Muna4real:
It's better to have many electronic shops feeding hundreds and training more hundreds than have a big company feeding only those that work for you.

Muna4real:
It is useless to have many wealthy elites when your people are poor. Go to the roots and help your people. They will not eat your useless political position, they want to come out of poverty.

Muna4real:
Mr detective, tell us the igbo millionaires that died and left their money and foreign bank. Also, when has it become a crime to save your money in foreign bank?

vasel15:
Like Walton family ish

jimyjames:
You are confusing yourself, northerners have the richest people in Nigeria/Africa but are the poorest, their wealth starts and ends in their family in has no impact on a common northerner there are millions of almajeri children begging for food to eat

Igbo apprenticeship system is the best in the world without it, igbos would not have made to this level after the civil war, people like obi cubana the whole country is talking about was born just five yrs after the war in 1975 igbos were the poorest ethnic group in Nigeria in 1975 cause the lost everything, Igbo apprenticeship made igbos rich

Wealth transfer of family wealth made a handful of northerners like dangote super rich and it ends there it doesn't benefit an ordinary northerner

Muna4real:
What about transfer of wealth within poor families and communities? Them no de una budget? This is why you have Forbes richest men but are still the country's poorest people. For you transfer of wealth is that of rich families, dollars and pounds, leaving millions of northerners to die of poverty. You need to learn from the igbos.

To bring out people from poverty, you need to show them the way. You don't necessarily need to be a big billionaire to do that. You simply bring in someone inexperienced to learn how to survive. By so doing,a large amount of trained youths are brought into the labour market. That's how to help your brother. Not by giving him government appointment. Not by dashing him money. But by teaching him your business.
Let me use obi cubana for example. When he started his own business,he had boys like cubana cheif priest and many others watching him. He wasn't a millionaire then. But they grew. Now they are so wealthy together. They wouldn't have become what they are if obi cubana dashed them money or gives the a government job. Do you understand now?

chikachike86:
When reasonable people talk, some slowpoke will open their gutter of a mouth and be spitting thrash. Do you even have a mother? Poverty has killed her since. Foolish monkey.

stanluiz:
Mumu. Remember to take your drugs in the morning before you run naked enter market. No say I no tell you.

Mentally deranged fellow! Better see your doctor. Monkey!

chikachike86:
Foolish monkey! You're here talking about generational wealth, while your generational poverty stricken family is rotting somewhere in the North. Die for all I care. Foolish fool.
