Sorry?
Can you come up with a figure or something?
I hate home-made, aba-made figures.
Thank u

I said take or leave....look around you and even your village and see if there isn't any Igbo business thriving there. same can't be said for yorubas...

even in kebbi state, Igbos run big businesses there

aba, Onitsha, nnewi, pH, Lagos, Abuja, kano, Kaduna, bida, jos, our entreprenural mark is deep and well known..... so die of jealousy, or rather, keep feeding on your delusion to escape this death.

God I love my Igbo folks, rising from the ashes of war and giving the ofemmanus and abokis a cold sweat.... Igbo di egwu.

Oh how I love thread like this.


In a Capitalist State Like Ours, Wealthy Firms With Healthy Cash Flow Control The Economy Not Petty Traders.

"I have investigated all the 20 top Nigerian companies listed below as compiled by authoritative Forbes business magazine and none of them is based in Igbo land or controlled by the so called ‘Igbo business men’.

Impressively, 20 Nigerian companies made it to the list of Top 25 companies in West Africa. They include:

• Dangote Cement
• Zenith Bank PLC
• Ecobank Transnational Incorporated
• Nigerian Breweries Plc
• First Bank Plc
• Guaranty Trust Bank Plc
• United Bank for Africa
• Guinness Nigeria
• Nestlé Nigeria
• Access Bank
• Flour Mills Nigeria
• Union Bank of Nigeria
• Stanbic IBTC
• First City Monument Bank
• Lafarge Cement WAPCO
• Total Nigeria
• Unilever Nigeria
• PZ Cussions
• UACN
• Cadbury Nigeria Plc

According to Forbes, Nigeria has 20 of the best 25 companies in West Africa.

It is only a fool who will believe Igbo postulation that it is street trader’s and hawkers that controls an economy. If that hypothesis is valid, then the Indians and Pakistanis in Britain can also claim that they [are] in charge of British economy because over 70% of petty street trading in Britain is in the hand of the Asians. However, we all know that actual British economy is firmly in the hands of the Britons. The same is factual for Germany and France where Turkish and North African Algerians are their own local version of Igbo. The only difference is that these other 'gypsies’' are more knowledgeable of who they are in their host countriy's economy, unlike ignorant Igbo petty street traders in Yoruba land."
Nigerians have made the Forbes list of richest people in the world the reason been that Forbes estimates the wealth of individuals and rank them based on the value of shares they have in quoted companies (companies listed on the stock exchange).

The few Nigerians that have the list are Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga and Femi Otedola.

The list of top 21 Richest Nigerian billionaires has been based on:

The value of their shares held in quoted companies, the size and market share of their companies, the number of companies they own and its assumed value, the market value of their company’s brand and the impact of their companies on the Nigerian economy.

Despite the harsh terrain and business challenges involved with starting a business in Nigeria; the successful entrepreneurs listed below held their ground and fought their way to the top.

In a country with a population of over 160 million inhabitants and millions of businesses; these 20 entrepreneurs diligently carved their names in the sands of time.

Check out the list below.

1. Alhaji Aliko Dangote – founder of Dangote Group, Richest man in Africa and Richest black man in the world

2. Mike Adenuga – Conoil, Equatorial Trust Bank, Globacom

3. Femi Otedola – ZENON Oil and Gas

21. Chief Ade Ojo – Elizade Motors Nig LTD, Distributor of Toyota cars
Before I finish this essay I will examine an absurd claim that the igbo often make which reflects an inferiority complex, a deep case self-delusion and which borders on the sociopathic. Wherever they settle they often boast that they control all the money that is there and that they have more businesses than anyone else. They often suggest that they have more business acumen and that they are more successful at business than any other tribe in Nigeria yet this is not true.

These strange stories that Igbos are more industrious than the Yoruba people, where do they come from? Is it because Yoruba people think big and never settle for profits from petty trading? The Igbos have not excelled more than Yoruba people in any kind of business at an advanced level, with the exception of the long haul coach and bus business. In the transportation business generally how many igbo people own the largest private airport on the African continent like Wale Babalakin. Tell me the Igbos that are mega industrialists like Folawiyo, Okoya, Adedoyin, Akindele and Awosika. Of the 10 leading banks in Nigeria, 8 of them used to have yoruba people as shareholders with the controlling interest, until Sanusi Lamido Sanusi launched his campaign. Today, four are still owned by Yoruba people and only one by an Igbo. Telecoms, one Ijebu businessman built a massive telecoms company single handedly. No Igbo man can boast of such. The first four leading oil distributors are Yoruba. Of the 10 leading Nigerian businessmen, 6 are Yoruba. The highest indigenous employers of labour are Yoruba people. Look at all the companies in Ikeja- they were all invited by the Western Region Government in the First Republic. If Igbos leave Lagos today, these companies will still hold high in their elegant skyscrapers. Igbos can’t hold Lagos or anywhere in the country hostage. The stereotype claim is that the Yoruba are the agberos of Lagos but you will be surprised to know that many Igbos in Lagos are actively involved in the transport business, some of them also play omo oni le with their Yoruba friends and some of them are street beggars as well. They would have denied this if Fashola had not deported them.
Many Igbo people are on the payroll of Yoruba businessmen. If you go to their region, you will see GTB, Oando, FCMB, GLO, Con Oil, Nicon Insurance, Sahara Oil, Bicourtney all owned by Yorubas. How many Igbo companies provide mass employment in comparison? If you take away all the companies owned by Yoruba businessmen what is left? The truth, hurtful as it can be, is that the leading industrialists and entrepreneurs are Yoruba people and they built Lagos with their mega business skills. This was what attracted Igbos- the tribe of wanderers and gypsys. Igbos cannot even boast of business skills when they speak with successful businessmen in the Midwest. The Midwest can boast of companies like Zenith bank, UBA, Ibru and co. and Etisalat, They can boast of Arik Air and Aerocontractors. A man from the Midwest by the name of Festus Okotie Eboh tackled your most respected Nnamdi Azikiwe and shook his power-base as the financier of the NCNC party. I don’t share the view that Igbos have superior business skills. The business men many of us admire are entrepreneurs like Wale Tinubu, Fola Adeola, Segun Agbaje, Subonmi Balogun, Kayode Odukoya, Deinde Fernandez, Tope Sonubi, Tunde Fagbemi, Kase Lawal, Harry Akande and Mike Adenuga and not the glorified petty traders and trouble makers. What the Igbos are doing is psychological warfare. If their lies are not checked and set straight they will have a negative effect on the psyche of future generations of the Yoruba. A lot of blacks in America are suffering from the lies white historians have perpetrated. For a long time blacks were made to feel inferior to their white counterparts. We can not allow the Igbos to continue with their lies against the Yorubas unabated. We have a responsibility as patriotic Yorubas to set the record straight. If it means being tagged a tribalist, that is fine. -Destructive Ways of the Ignorance.

this long essay is an evidence of a complex trying to prove superior, when in actual fact, its inferior....

totit, Igbos are known for internationally for having a high entreprenueral acumen, whether small, medium, or high scale enterprises. so good riddance to your delusion.

take or leave, the average Igbo is more industrious than the Yoruba.

princdebola201:
illiterate slowpoke the topic of the thread is about regional contributions as a whole..not yoruba vs igbo contribution..
SW as a region have the highest concentration of industries (lagos and Ogun)
SW contributes 12% of crude oil in nigeria (ondo)
SW contribute 70% of cocoa which is the highest non oil revenue( ondo)
These re the three basic things that generate revenue for FG

So tell me South east region contributions and at what percentage

mumu, hypocrite..... do you think we don't see the snare you are projecting on the Igbos under the cover of 'southeast'? everyone knows that southeast is IGBO...... so stop making a big fool of yourself.

Igbos are indispensable in the survival of Lagos....we own most of the small and middle scale enterprises, and also own a huge chunk of large scale enterprises e.g diamond bank, fidelity bank, juhel group, orange drugs, coscharis group, slot group, emzor, etc.......

abia has oil, gas, and commerce, anambra has little oil, gas, but a larger commerce.

abia's Alvan ikoku is honoured in the N10 currency, anambra has nnamdi azikiwe honoured in the N500 currency.

[b]TODAY I CRIED FOR JOY

For the first time in a long while, I cried profusely like a baby. Tears of joy.

For six years we had a President from the South South who failed to address the decades of environmental degradation that have plagued the Niger Delta.

For six years our lands lay like the scorched earth of a nuclear apocalypse.

For six years many held their head high that their kin was President by day but drank bitter polluted waters by night. Isn’t it a shame that it takes a Hausa man vilified by most of my kin, to arise to this challenge and order the immediate clean up of the Delta?

I wept because to be truthful we do not deserve such having blown away our chance at salvation on a clueless man from Otuoke.

We don’t deserve such, for the greatest senseless critics of this benevolent President are in this region. Those who insult him and laugh at his Fulani accent are now going to be the beneficiary of his greatest act since becoming President.


Indeed President Buhari is not a Nigerian, who prefers to colourise every action under the
microscope of ethnicity and religion.

I have no choice but to cry like a baby at the six wasted years wandering in a wilderness called
Jonah and Patience. For now our saviour has come and he is not even our kin, but an Aboki Muslim from the much vilified North.

President Buhari thank you for sanctioning the clean up of the Niger Delta. To me that is your greatest act since you became President. You have not let us down, we that support you and
pray for you.

Thank you for saving Nigeria from the hands of those who drove us to the brink of destruction.

Thank you and Thank you. God bless PMB and the Federal Republic of Nigeria[/b]

See this mumu using IQ alongside Igbos. The same set of people that were fighting T72 tanks with cassava sticks, the same set of that were expecting the people that are fighting to be feeding them. Jokers.

That actually shows your IQ is below imbecilicity level.

words of. a monumental coward.

ezeagu:
It's true Anioma people aren't Igbo, they hail from the ancient Delta (originally de a luta) of the south southoids (sawa sawa) tribe. They loved Igbo culture so much that they took the name, language, culture, religion, and dressing, and food, and music, and town names. They are like the Nnewi race who trekked from Sudan in the 18th century.

Ngwa, next thread.

*laughs*

shachris:
do you know that huasas and fulanis speak bear the same name, and some hausa lands bear fulani name. Does that in any way make Huasas fulanimen?

lame question. Fulani has fulfude right? what is anioma's 'native' language?

some APshitters are just too dumb......zombies.

if amnesty goes to bokoharam, then APC are cowards or better still, bokoharam themselves.

IF OP LIKES, HIS OR HER FAMILY CAN UNCLAIM THEIR IGBONESS..... OKONJO-IWEALA IS MARRIED TO AN UMUAHIA MAN, HER FAMILY AND KINSMANS IN DELTA STATE ARE PROUDLY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY IGBO.....

BIAFRAN COMMANDER "AIR RAID" ACHUZIA IS PROUDLY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY IGBO

OKOCHA NO DEY HIDE IM IGBONESS

NZEOGWU NEVER DENIED HIS IGBONESS.

CHIEF OSADEBE WHO COINED THE WORD, "ANIOMA", " GOOD LAND", PROUDLY PROCLAIMED HIS FAMILIES IGBONESS.

MY FRIENDS FROM ASABA, OGWASHI, ONICHA-UGBO ARE PROUDLY FLAUNTING THEIR IGBONESS.....

OP, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN GO TO BLAZES, WE DONT NEED YOU OR YOUR COCK AND BULL STORY..... SINCE YOU AINT IGBO, THEN LEAVE ASABA OKAY? EVEN THE LATE MIRIAM BABANGIDA WILL SPIT ON YOUR FACE FOR TRYING TO REWRITE THE HISTORY OF ASABA.....

EZE CHIME, THE IGBO ANCESTOR OF DELTA IGBOS, SPITS AT YOUR FAMILY.

WE DONT NEED YOU, GO TO BLAZES.

Buhari will continue to spoil the days of saTANoids with his good works. He is everything a president should be and which your loser, the Mandela of Otuoke, will never be.

keep dreaming.....I only pray buhari achieves his campaign promises....

the whole world knows whether good or bad, our IQ surpasses that of your entire generation. in fact, as we discuss, a lot is going on about Africa's IQ, thanks to the Igbos, if you like die, we are moving up......just Google on Igbo IQ/African IQ, and eat back your words.......mugu

DelGardo:
So because, in your view, Jonathan has done most of the assignment Buhari should fold his hands and watch BH kill more people in order to be in the same league with your hero?

And if Buhari upholds his constitutional responsibility with remarkable success we should not acknowledge that because it will upset those of you that blindly supported Jonathan, ba?

Pally, your reasoning get K-leg.

dude, be straightforward for once, its too early to jubilate. Buhari ain't done anything yet, if you want assess him based on his "hit the ground running" campaign, then he has failed already....

am still waiting to be sure if Buhari ain't preaching amnesty to the terrorists, cos from what is in the news, he is pushing for their amnesty.....I dey watch....God help naija. its too early to rejoice......by the way where are the chibok girls before you begin to dey pop something

DelGardo:
Who declared it over now? You sound pained that BH is losing. If it is your kind of sense that is available for me to borrow I use Holy Ghost fire take bind am. Zuwo.

am pained because bokoharam seem to be winning, go and check how many lives that have been lost within buhari 60 days of office, and you are hear spewing trash.

FYI, Jonathan's 6 weeks has done most of the assignment so deal with it.....

Omololu007:

We have to wait till you declare the war over before we celebrate progress, abi? Now run along and go and play in the sand with fellow wailers. Bush man.
