Igbo apprenticeship system that governs Alaba Int’l Market is the largest business incubator platform in the world” Robert Neuwirth

This is the full video of the TED talk on Igbo apprenticeship system which I wrote
here. The TED Speaker, Robert Neuwirth, made a strong case and concluded thus: “And I can say with almost certainty that the Igbo apprenticeship system that governs Alaba International Market is the largest business incubator platform in the world.” The full transcript of the section of interest is below for those saving mobile credit.
[b]So the interesting thing is that this mutual aid economy still exists, and we can find examples of it in the strangest places. So, this is Alaba International Market. It’s the largest electronics market in West Africa. It’s 10,000 merchants, they do about four billion dollars of turnover every year. And they say they are ardent apostles of Adam Smith: competition is great, we’re all in it individually, government doesn’t help us. [/b]But the interesting reality is that when I asked further, that’s not what grew the market at all. There’s a behind-the-scenes principle that enables this market to grow. And they do claim — you know, this is an interesting juxtaposition of the King James Bible and “How To Sell Yourself.” That’s what they say is their message. But in reality, this market is governed by a sharing principle. Every merchant, when you ask them, “How did you get started in global trade?” they say, “Well, when my master settled me.” And when I finally got it into my head to ask, “What is this ‘settling?'” it turns out that when you’ve done your apprenticeship with someone you work for, they are required — required — to set you up in business. That means paying your rent for two or three years and giving you a cash infusion so you can go out in the world and start trading. That’s locally generated venture capital. Right? And I can say with almost certainty that the Igbo apprenticeship system that governs Alaba International Market is the largest business incubator platform in the world.

I don't see why i should hate, just to correct the false narrative, because he is a white american as you say doesn't make him correct, anybody can be dumb.

Silicon valley alone atones for over 80% of the biggest companies in the tech world. And tech is the largest incubator agency in the world.

Silicon valley alone is the biggest hub for incubator and a single successful startup can generate thousands to millions of verifiable jobs.

For a country like Nigeria which can boast of a job creation estimate of which the south east exist in the indices.

To open chemist for emeka and teach nnamdi how to sell CD isn't what it entails

Appreciation goes to Yorubas for creating an environmental friendly for Igbos to do their trades in Lagos...

If Yorubas and Igbos can come together and reason together putting aside differences and create avenue for compromise and love the two tribes can shake Africa with Business ideas and human fiscal development

lol, it seems word Tedx is giving you org**. I have been a Tedx speaker at a Lagos conference when I dealt on a science theory during my undergraduate years and its nothing new.

In fact their are also some dumb bunch speakers especially the entrepreneurs. Because he is white makes no difference, by the way am a Niger deltan not afonja

It was TELEVISED LIVE on ALJAZERA.
People were encouraged to adopt that apprentice system as it would wipe away left over poverty among the IGBOs in the near future.

The WHITE MAN was so satisfied with it
