The Igbo Man And His Business Wizardry by Fancylife(m): 11:43am On Aug 10, 2015 |
I have had the privilege of visiting and spending
some days in atleast 16 states of the Federation,
plus the FCT, making it 17. In the course of my
visits and stay in these states, especially the ones
outside the South East, I have noticed that I
hardly find it difficult knowing which business
venture belongs to an Igbo man. Infact, in over 90
percent of the time, I am usually correct in my
assumption that a particular business venture
belongs to an Igbo man. And the reasons are not
farfetched.
The igbo man is the king of packaging. The way
he co-ordinates and arranges his business can
only leave you with admiration. His organizational
skill when it comes to his business is first class!
He wants his business venture to be different
from the rest, in a positive way.
Behind this drive to package his business well is
the igbo man's ambitious nature. He has tall
dreams, and more often than not, he ends up
achieving them. The average igbo has real dreams
of building a fine house and driving a very good
car in future. He believes that in selling even
tissue papers, he can one day become a
millionaire and live large.
What does he do to achieve these dreams of his?
He strategizes on how to grow his business from
scratch and one day become a big player in that
line of business. It may take him years, but he will
most likely achieve it.
Again, there is no ethnic nationality that acts in
true belief of ONE NIGERIA than the igbo nation.
And I say this without any fear of contradiction
whatsoever! Let me explain.
All over Nigeria, apart from the natives of any
place, the next ethnic group with the highest
number of house owners in that place are the
Igbos. From East to West, North to South, the
evidence in support of this are legion! The Igbo
business man adopts his host community as his
second home(sometimes even as his first home).
Admittedly, business/economic considerations in
addition to love for one Nigeria, contributes to
this his decision to build a house in his host
community. But this is also one of the things that
makes an Igbo man a wizard of business
(especially trading).
Unfortunately, a lot of people from other ethnic
nationalities misconstrue the Igbo man's
ambitiousness and business ingenuity to mean an
inordinate love for money. Little wonder you hear
things like "Igbo man, you too like money". But
come on! We all do! Everyone likes money, lots of
it, actually. But because the Igbo business man
does not just want to settle for "very good"
when "excellent" is possible, he devices ingenious
ways to excel in his business. The result is that
some others tag him a cheat, a greedy fellow, a
shylock.
The Igbo business man understands that ambition
is not to be made on a sterner stuff.
