I would like to think that there are always loading vehicles in these locations.I struggle to u derstand why he is acting as a venndor when he sells nothing but a roofer.Im sure he was pissed off when he realized you ha e a roofer.But sir why co tinue with the intaraction when u paid directly to the owner of the company ??
Some of these big companies will not deal directly with end user customers . They have their accredited distributors (middlemen). More, for an item like roofing sheets. These middle men are trusted by the company to do it right. The big companies want to avoid issues ranging from wrong measurements and specifications, wrong insulation, transportation, delays, missing items etc which could cause direct confrontation from customers. A lot could go wrong in the supply chain, that is why they pass that risk to a third party company. Rightly so, take for instance in this case, the ridges would have to be bent to specification ( size, quantity and other details ). Big companies do not want to take those risks and do not have that time.
In all, the customer is always right as long as they are acting within the bounds of the transaction.
Sellers should also know that customers are always apprehensive when dealing with a first time supplier, especially when they have made payment. Sellers should do their best to reassure customers until the goods are delivered.
Lets learn from the lawyers. As a professional, a lawyer would keep reassuring a criminal ( client) event until the criminal is sentenced. First they would say it’s not a strong case. After, the lawyer would say, don’t worry this case would be dismissed. Next he turns around and say, don’t worry we will challenge it in court. Then, he would come back to say don’t worry, the judge said you would only get 5 years imprisonment.
It is not deception but professionalism. Clients need that reassurance.

First tell me which SW city is better than those SE cities I listed.
Any place is fill with opportunities for an average Igbo person . Igbos see opportunities where you see hardship ( ebi pa wa).

The mere fact that your people are the ones leaving their homes to the South West already answers it all.
That means you don’t have a name for the SW town. It is well.
Let me tell you something. Americans own half of the companies in China
Chinese are one of the largest immigrant population in the USA. Think about how these two things could be true at the same time. We are talking about people from the first and second biggest economy in the world.
No progressive group remains in their helmet.
Traveling is part of education. Other than the economic benefits, the exposure makes you think differently.
It exposes your shortcomings, and makes you see and know what you would otherwise not know .
That is why Igbo seem prepared for any hardship in Nigeria. They have seen what you are yet to comprehend.

So why are your governors paying so little is a so called rich region? Don't you pay tax?

If your region is better than every where else, every one should be trooping into the South East and not South Easterners folking and roaming about Nigeria like FulaniHeards men.
Igbos are everywhere in the world, that is why they don’t care about a single index like Nigeria minimum wage.
You can’t develop by just sitting in one hamlet. You must see what is out there, learn from other and continue to improve yourself.

@Skydivine it is available in Nigeria and more. Go to Odu Ade market in Orile lagos to see them and many more. Building interiors and exterior goods are distributed to majority of areas in Nigeria directly from this market. This is where most Nigerian retailers buy from to resell. The prices when buying directly from this market are tantalizingly sweet. There’s nothing you won’t find inside this market when it comes to building/home decor.
They don’t have it. I bet 20k on anyone that can put this particular natural stone together like this and write today’s date on a piece of paper beside it.

Note that only number one is what I am saying. Don’t show me the rest.

He has 254,841,302 units of shares in May & Baker Plc which was trading at N3.20 per share as at our cut-off date. This gives him a net worth of N815 million.

Danjuma could be worth much more, as he is known to have several holdings in other blue-chip firms outside the pharmaceutical sector.

Mrs. Ayebae makes the cut by virtue of being on the board and married to the founder of the company.
From the list,
Number 1 is an Edo man
Number 2 is Hausa man
Number 3 is Igbo
Number 4 is Yoruba ( with only #160M worth of shares. Not supposed to get a mention)
Number 5 is Igbo
Number 6 is the wife of number of 1. Just a cooperation formation number for the family to have more control of the business .

The question remains, where are the people the Op is trying so hard to hype?

My conclusion, the list is a disgrace.
