steveneche:
What if you sell both

Then you'll need to buy panadol

steveneche:
I learnt that in the East, almost everybody own a shop. My question is who will buy from who once they get Biafra Republic.

An economy where everybody is a seller with little or no buyer will experience stunted growth.

Economic theories have proven that, the growth of any nation is strongly determined by the active participation of the three most important economic agents, namely, Producers, Consumers and Government.

judging by this:

1. PRODUCTION: South East does not produce anything. They only buy and sell finished goods n agricultural products from other region n countries.
2. CONSUMPTION: like i said, everybody is into buying and selling. So this agent will be relatively inactive. The inactivity of this agent is what causes recession.

3. GOVERNMENT: this agent only regulates business environment but needs finance to do so. Its finances comes from natural resources n taxes.
The last time i checked South East has no resources. The worst part is seller will be able to pay tax when market is not moving due to lack o sellers?




My analysis is subject to criticism, Oya economists in the house over to u

If you sell okro, you'll need to buy pepper.

buzquet:
you need to ask South Sudanese how far

How about asking Singapore how far?

kokomaster4d:
Lets unite and save this country

Where are they holding the rally?

ehinmowo:
truth be told, d insult of IPOB is gargantuan

And so the entire Igbo people gathered and asked IPOB to speak for them? Smh

sarrki:

I na Baba?

fyneguy:
Minority? looool

You can say that to novices. The criminals are in the majority!

The reason most of them don't use bank loans is largely because they fund importation of finished products and raw materials with drug proceeds. It's a cartel operation and there are different layers and dimensions to it.

I leave you to your ignorance. Who takes a loan at 21% plus hidden charges to do normal importation of goods?

I didn't say there are no guys laundering money but those guys are not usual traders. The drug guys sell their wares, use it to buy goods, ship it down here and sell at heavy discount to collect cash.

Meanwhile, we are into big time importation, mainly pharmaceutical and we have never used bank loan neither do we launder drugs money. Like I said, when you develop a lasting business relationship built on trust with your suppliers, they advance you credit lines which can run into millions of dollars interest free depending on your volume of business. I k ow a few people that have developed stroke due to bank loan.

Bank loans do not have good reputation among Igbo traders. In most cases those who go that route, take very short term loans and overdrafts, mainly when the ship has berthed or is about to berth. They take it, complete their payment and the supplier sends them documents needed for clearance and they quickly clear, make quick sales and pay off immediately.

OVA200:
I was just reading news on Facebook when I came across a rumour that President Buhari is missing I know it's a lie but the hilarious comment by people got me rolling on the floor, in this period Nigerians got no chill at all.

Where are the comments na? Have they gone missing too?

fyneguy:
You may be right but don't rule out the possibility of fronting with those trades. There are many guys using such to front while drug trafficking is the real moneymaker.

Not ruling that out but certainly in the minority. People are making cool money in Nigeria.

I laughed when I heard one woman being interviewed on the fate of Evans asking how those guys got millions of dollars to pay as ransom, saying they should be probed.

[quote author=tiger28 post=57800215][/quote]You expect Donatus to come out in this circumstances and tell you that he funded his business and the ransom money from his pocket? You are the real surge here.

And no, most Igbo businesses are not funded by bank loans. You may have a point if you say their suppliers from China do give them a credit line when trust has been established. Igbos are averse to taking bank loans and very few traders do. An average Igbo trader won't touch your 21% interest loan + hidden charges.

You may be a business man but business get levels, so you are speaking as a business man but I'm speaking as someone who knows Donatus personally.

As per business not turning profit after a year, that is true in many cases but not sll cases. In many cases as is the case with most Igbo traders, they start turning ptofit immediately. Remember most of these prople are traders who are simply into 'buying and selling'. They start up buying and selling locally and expand as they grow. Their initial investment in most cases is shop rent and paying for goods while still living in oga's house at least for the 1st year in most cases. If you were fortunate to have served a wealthy oga and are good and trustworthy, he can be giving you much goods on credit and in some cases give you sole franchise for a particular item or items he imports so that even if 50 containers of the item enters, you'll be the only one selling it.

You may be the real suegbe here.

gberra:
what is this one saying.

Smoking weed at this time of the day is bad.

Evablizin:
He should expose them,i strongly believe that he has informat everywhere because he cannot smell his hand and know this person is rich.

He may be right but no Igbo person living in Lagos and doing business in any of the markets would need an informant to tell you the people that can pay up to the amount of ransom he collects.

There are 100s of thousands of them and they are known to even a new apprentice in the market. I know the guy who escaped from his detention camp leading to his arrest and he's not even among the very top guys in the medicine market in Idumota. The guy gave out 40 brand new Toyota Corolla cars to his sales reps and top customers recently but people like Greenlife give out more than 50 periodically. So, Evans doesn't need an informant to tell him that Comet star, Maydon pharm and De Cees & E can afford ransoms of $1M. He may need informants on how to track them down but certainly not to know they are wealthy.

ItsMeAboki:
Do you need a court to show you he was organising a rally, in a gathering of more than 10 ppl, he continues to threaten the Nigerian state, inciting and making hate speeches etc; are you blind to the video evidence he is releasing with impunity?

Abeg go park one side jor - thats why dem serve una notice make una comot - very dishonest set of ppl.

Make you go arrest am na. Dirty blood loving illiterates.

ItsMeAboki:
And some ppl have the audacity to call for the arrest of Arewa youths when this albino is openly breaking all his bail conditions with impunity and going scot free - listen to him, now who is threatening with violence?

To northern leaders condemning your youths; so far have you heard any Igbo leader condemning this man like you have been ordering the arrest of your own youths?

Are you the court to determine whether he's breaking his bail conditions or not?

Let him go Kano zamfara,Maiduguri or Lagos

I didn't see thousands of zombies chanting sai baba when bubu went to London, did you?

StOla:
Very hardworking Man.

Many of them are here on Nairaland, boasting and beating their chest daily, claiming they are being envied for their success in business, like Evans the successful business man.

You mean like the 'suffersticated ritualists'?

chibuzorAbia:
The idiot Igbo OP or author of this article talks about the battle for Lagos? Exactly what is the battle for lagos?

Only if you and prowalker could assimilate what you read. The article was written at a time we had the "Lagos is man's land" brouhaha hence "the battle for Lagos".

kenny987:
How on earth is the Igbo man supposed to abandon his traditional view and sense of self to see himself through the eyes of others? How does that even make sense to you? How about you stop and think and understand the Igbo man from his own perspective?

The Igbo man will not change! All of his pride, economic aggression, loudness, diligence, beauty, self-confidence, zeal and desire to excel make him the unique person he is and the fact that others are uncomfortable with his nature does not make him any less excellent cos we all come with our imperfections!

Self-introspection is one of the best gifts anyone give oneself. That is why psychology expects u to 'know thyself'. If u don't understand urself u will never know how to harness ur qualities and succeed. No one will understand u better than urself and u are the one that will tell ur story not others telling it for u because they will most likely pass it through their already poisoned view.

It is difficult to get along with Igbos? It is also difficult to get along with lions because of their nature! It doesn't make them bad animals or any less excellent! The best is to understand each other and set necessary lawful boundaries to allow everyone grow n excel at their own pace! The Igbo man will not change and no, it is not your duty to set out what u expect him to act n behave. The sane way he accepts u when he comes on a sojourn is the same way u should accept him when you meet him provided no crime is committed.

Where the above is impossible then the ultimate demand is on ground for a separate nation so he can be himself and project his identity without any unnecessary intervention from those who don't understand the simple need to live and let live.

Excellent, excellenté.

Sunny
Na lie go kill you, you are no longer a junior sales pharma-Rep?
Why do you guys lie like a second skin like this ?

Eggheader, tell me any article you want me to access for you and if I don't then in a liar. That I co-own a thriving pharmaceutical business doesn't mean I can't be a researcher.

TheCabal:
I am well studied in Nigerian history. And know of the 1945 and 53' riots. Unlike others, I search for the causes and not the effects. We can only find solutions by identifying causes. The east consistently avoid speaking about the "causes" , you spend all your time and energy advertising the "effects" or outcomes of your actions.

_{Clues and anticipations will be sought in antecedent events and, at present, the Kano riots of May 1953 are generally regarded as having been the first major outburst of violence between Northern Nigerians and those who later assumed the name of Biafrans. Without wishing to detract from the enormity of the Kano events, I feel it is necessary to place on record the following neglected episode in the history of conflict between these peoples. An Early Nigerian Civil Disturbance: the 1945 Hausa-Ibo riot in Jos https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022278X00024976}

Like I said, I am interested in causes.

The author - higlighted ; a dwindling economy after WW1, verbal diarrhea , incitement as issues that propelled the Jos conflict.

If you cant find the full journal online. Let me know. I have a copy on my remote drive.

There's no journal I can't access Bro. I'm a researcher at one of the world's top unis.

TheCabal:
Now you know why I unsubscribed from Saharatv.

Mr Rudolph aka. Dr. Damages conveniently ommited several parts of history.

I stopped reading line for line after he subliminally injected the false notion that the northern coup "just happened". The rise up against the Igbo was not unprovoked, but Mr. Rudolph does not feel this is important.

He ignores the bitter truth that the many years Nigeria has suffered under the rule of the military was a result of the first coup in Nigeria.

Nonetheless, we understand the rhetoric behind this article. His omission of the events that led to the second coup in Nigeria, sends a strong signal to anyone who started reading his article 'objectively'.

And you cleverly omitted the Jos massacre of Igbos In 1945, the Kano killings of 1953....oh, they were fall outs of the January 1966 coup.

KratosCorp:
Amazing stuff!

That was a Master Of The Craft.

The masterpiece is way smoother and tastier than honey.

Grounded in facts, and delivered with precision unapologetically.

Isn't it awesome that Igbo intellectuals as this were speaking about this issue way before now?

So darn gratifying.

The article is apt and concise, the delivery precise. Nothing to add, nothing to subtract.

Guestlander:
"Let it be known that the original sin of the Igbo has not changed and will never change - it is the sin of being Igbo. It is from it that all other sins emerge and get magnified. The Igbo have nothing to prove and must not begin a defense of that right or a discussion of their Igboness on the terms of others. It is a matter of expediency for the Igbo to know this and for the Igbo to understand its implication in their final battle for survival"

The whole article can be summed up to the quote above by Rudulph Okonkwo, it is the same persecution complex we see here on a daily basis.
What is wrong with Igbo and self introspection? Why can't they see themselves through the eyes of other people?
The truth is that Igbo are difficult to get along with, we have seen it everywhere you have a large concentration of Igbo, be it in Nigeria, South Africa or China.
Is it possible all these people hate igbo just because there are igbo? Not possible.

Just like Jews are difficult to get along with all over the world, not so?

EnuguDadImoMom:
Bro. go and read the post, thank you.

Some people just comment based on headline. Sad.

FNG1:
T Shine Sisi Eko who is an artiste according to his profile on Facebook wrote that although he doesn't know Evans personally, he just does not want him dead.

But if the inevitable happens, he threatened to take up the kidnapping job of Evans and he would kill uncountable persons.

He shared the picture of Evans and captioned it:


"Nigeria is so useless. I don't know this man but I don't jst want him dead. And if he mistakenly got killed by stupid Nigeria gov on Sunday,I swear me T SHINE SISI EKO,,will replace him and I must kill uncountable souls, Bet me"



https://www.naij.com/1111318-young-nigerian-threatens-kill-lots-people-billionaire-kidnapper-evans-killed.html

How did you come to the conclusion that someone going by the name; 'T SHINE SISI EKO' is Igbo?
