"Igbos were allowed to establish businesses and live in other parts of Nigeria peacefully. However, they deny other tribes from simple owning shops in ALL EASTERN MARKETS!

Yes! I have gone to many eastern markets for ethnic survey. And no single shop is or was allocated to non Igbo. Please if there is one market with non Igbo, please mention" - Ahmed Gume

RESPONSE

How many shops do Hausa or Yoruba people own in Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, South Africa, Malawi, Sierra-Leone, Gabon UK, United States, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong-kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Germany, China, Taiwan, South Korea, India and countless other countries all over the world.

Those are not Igbo areas after all. Perhaps, they deny you shops like the Igbo did in all these countries. Igbos own shops and do business in those countries.
This is exactly how lazy people complain when they fail in business. If you can't compete on your own land, how are you going to do that in Igboland or neutral ground?

Every Igbo city has a place exclusively mapped out for Hausas free of charge for temporary use (that is the truth they will not tell you). Of course you know, Hausa man has his own pattern of business and shops mostly in form of kiosk where he sold his patty trades and provisions on free given portion of the street.

Another good business they do in the east is money exchange and cattle business which they control in every Igbo city on a free given land; 100% fact. Go to Owerri, Umuahia, Enugu, Awka. Nnewi. Aba etc.
Igbos don't wait for free land or free portion to be allocated to them, they buy them from indigenes who always have it free by inheritance or by allocation but doesn’t know what to do with them. Only quota system worthless person will wait for allocation before he starts a business.
How many shops do Hausas have in Lagos and other south west states? or do the Yoruba deny them shops too? Can you compare the number of shops and markets owned by Hausas in Yoruba land to the number owned by the Igbos?

Igbos rent shops from the landlords. Igbos Buy lands from the host to build shops. Igbos buy land from their host to build markets. Igbos don't wait for shop or land allocations to start up their businesses.
How many markets has the Hausa built in Lagos? None. How many markets has the Yoruba build in the north? None or do the Hausa and the Yoruba deny selling land to one another too, like the Igbos denied them?

But Igbo have used their money to buy lands from south west and north and build many markets that helps to develop their regions.
To be honest, not every Igbo traders in south west or north can compete with the traders in the east. The traders in the east are real geniuses in trading. They are wizards in buying and selling more than those Igbo traders in the west and north.
You have to first compete with the Igbo traders in your own territory before you think of competing with them in their own territory.

Business is based on competition, the question is, can you compete? There are shops in Onitsha main market but can you afford to rent it? Even when you do what do you intend to sell to regain your profit?.
Is it igbo man that sacrifice to be single till the age of 40 to balance his business achievements before marriage you want to compete with? Igbo man who wear warn out cloths with bathroom slippers to save money for his bussiness? Or the one that maintain just one wife you choose to compete with?....The one that married, how many children do they agreed to born, all are the sacrifices in order to save more for his business.

Nobody compete with the fulanis in their cow business or you think they don’t make money in that? Please leave the igbos alone, business is their God given talent.

We are Biafrans!!!.

My good brother....

Fact..

who is asari? is it the pig that collect niger delta money go build school in benin republic?or the togolese chest beater

Thank God this rebuttal is not coming from an Igbo man. That's says a lot. If you know you know

Igbo are great business men. No bad Belle

Can Afonja survive any business without forming a union to fix Price. Igbos don't get involved in regulated business.

We don't form unions to fix prices. Vaulcanizer have union, pepper and tomato sellers have union, hair dressers have union. Every thing in afonja land have union.

No competition allowed, that is why they don't hustle for cotomers. When they give you Price if you like buy if you don't leave, another person will come and buy it. That's usually their comment.

With Igbo business man, the costumer is the king. Why in Yoruba and Afonja businesses man, the seller is the king. You must call them mommy or daddy before you get a good price.

How can you compare that with an Igbo business man that will tell Chuwudi to bring seat drink in his shop for costumer when he is not even sure you will petronise him.

Have you noticed that if an Igbo man opens a shop on the same street where Afonja is, not even the same house, they will start using juju to pursue the Igbo man. But the Igbo business man is too rugged to be intimidated.

How many Yoruba tenenats are ready to rent a shop to their own Yoruba? Who ever tries it will not get value for his house.

Business dey for Igbo blood

If the man can't compete with Igbos even on their on land where you have igbos who are novice in business, what made the man think he can compete with Igbos in Igbo land where you can met Igbo business gurus who are competing with their fellow Igbos in Igbo land. ?
If you want to meet Champions in business, go to Igbos land. They are the ones who are slugging it out with their fellow Igbos. WORD!

The man should simply accept his lazy status and tag and move on...

Asari knows the truth

There is an equated approach to this on the political side as well.

This is why Yoruba find it hard to understand why Ibo will say "2023 is our turn".

Do we take turns trading? No. Its open market for competition.

Politics and democracy is open to anybody ready to compete. "Its our turn" is not understood in Yoruba political vocabulary. Compete with Yoruba for 2023 if you want it.

If they throw it open without zoning. You think it would ever get to yoruba

kettykin:

If they throw it open without zoning. You think it would ever get to yoruba

if not for zoning do you think Obasanjo would have been president?

That ibos denied other tribes from owning a shop in SE is a fallacy.

kettykin:

Hahahahaha.. Even SS is political relevant than SE
So If Yoruba couldn't get without Zoning, Na SE go get abi?

God bless Igbos
