the dirth of Jobs in the country, I am now a proprietor of a primary school. Just

recently branched into Secondary School. 2 and a half years to be precise. Watched

the trends of things in Lagos and decided to make this clarion call to all Yorubas

especially in Lagos that they should try jettisoning the idea of sending their wards or children to

learn crafts(vulcanize

especially in Lagos that they should try jettisoning the idea of sending their wards or children to

learn crafts(vulcanizer,radionic or whatever they call it,mechanic..lol etc) again and embrace the blessed path of trading like Kwarans and Ibos.Just like I posted the other day,the Kwarans had

nothing when they came to Lagos,so also were the Ibos. Both indulged in trading

and in no time had landed properties than any ethnic group in Lagos.The Kwarans have more lands than the Ibos.We have seen some of them owning virtually a whole street numbering up to almost 100.
We know one of them(I think he is/was called Oladimeji) who owns more than a hundred houses and they have also produced a governor in the person of former Gov Lateef Jakande.So also do the Ibos have a lot of landed properties. My observation is

that the Ibos are trying and succeeding in overwhelming the Kwarans with their Population in Lagos which

could be 4:1 and trying to take up the businesses or trades of the Kwarans who

are Yoruba. Taking Loans with the large population that they have and putting them massively on their businesses thereby using their population strength to give the Kwarans a run for their money. In my

research, If anything is not done about this, the resultant effect would be

devastating for Yorubas knowing the tendency of the Ibos to dominate. Yorubas

should come together and enter trading in Multitudes because reality has shown

that trading is the in thing to success in Nigeria now. Shun crafts for a while.

Most of the touts and area boys learnt crafts according to my findings but because it has been

saturated with people and because the blessing attached to trade /biz by God is not

there for handicraft, most of them have become burdens to the Community.

Yoruba act now before is too late!!! .LET US DISCUSS AND FIND A SOLUTION.

basilo101:
i marvel at the foolish.ness of yorubas wenever they roll out drums to celebrate shoprite and boast of the huge profits shoprite is making. yet they claim igbos are incosequential cos they are mere traders. what does shoprite do : retailing. what do igbos do : Retailing. How come little shopping malls make huge profits but u dont belive dat massive open markets are making profits?

ha yoruba want to start the same 2/2 shop the always condemning ,you no longer want to start like otedola? keep on with your agbero work. every day come out and seat down on every junction and collect money from okada,and discuss on how you hate on omo yebo,what every Yoruba youths does today is lean how to box and after he will wait for his imaginary enemy(omo yebo) we will see in 40 years from now what will be of yoruba elders (the current Yoruba youths) keep hating omo yebo we are waiting for you in the future

Ambcharles:
You dont compare an igbo man with other tribes because they dont regard others as achievers. .they are individualistic and their competition is between themselves mostly.This is one of the problems the face!

so politics no favour Yoruba again?

Ritchiee:
I support this thread. Traders are always richer than craftsmen.I am an educated trader and I know what I am saying...

Ritchiee:
There are so many of them in Lagos and I am afraid just like the OP that we must find legal solution to counter them by going into trading.I know we would triumph as we have always done against them.

Aareonakakanfo:



i don't agree with that. all craftsmen need is packaging. they all have potentials to be richer than traders but most of them mess around a lot and don't take their jobs seriously

Ritchiee:
I understand what you mean but then who is going to package them?Do you know that Yoruba has the most craftsmen/women in Nigeria and still growing.Out of the billionaires in Nigeria, how many of them are craftspeople?

eliment:
Truth be told, as silly as the op looked he is making a bit of sense business/trade is the next big thing in Nigeria today.

It is also of note that the kwarans really dominate the real estate and building materials business in Lagos which is source of billions of naira to most of them. I personally have many relative who have made it big through this.

BuddahMonk:


No community of human being created not just in Nigeria but Africa can challenge Igbos in trade and commerce, do you know what your trying to do

Even if all the ethnic groups in Nigeria decided to challenge Igbos in trade and commerce forget it you will only dominate small portion like foodstuff for Northerners, Kola nut for Yoruba or whatever.

Do you know how far Igbos have gone in trading, it doesn't end in buying and selling my brother, its deeper than you think.

Ritchiee:
I am telling you,you are no match to the Yoruba in anything.Go and ask Azikiwe,Ojukwu,Achebe etc.I pray that Yorubas heed this call and you would see what they call real trading.Igbo ke...

BuddahMonk:


Which real estate and where is the building materials.

The biggest building material in Lagos is Oduade which Igbos don't just dominate but own. All the iron dealers at Iyana Ipaja are mostly from Anambra State.

Who own ASPAMDA

You can even challenge Igbos anywhere in building materials even in Dei Dei Abuja they have turned it to Bridgehead extension.

Mr, dreaming it self could be suicidal if you ask me

The biggest building material market in lagos is Odu ade market and they dominate it? if i give you e-slap from here. maybe you think we're using mbs that we can't afford to Google things online

All the iron dealers at Iyana Ipaja are mostly from Anambra State?The hindu temple census?

i'm not surprised by that. After all y'all believe Obama listens to radio biafra, indians are lazy and that Ibos control 80% of the businesses in South africa.

Very soon you'll tell us Jesus christ was born in nnewi

coolitempa:
There is a lot more to an economy than trading..... ..yorubas dominate in banking, real estate....technology.....manufacturing.....service industry...even in trading when you consider all the markets together rather than focus on ladipo and a few others which are not up to five percent of markets in lagos alone...the thing about the flat'heads is that they make a lot of noise out of nothing... ...but they will soon regret it... ...I am personally well aware of plans to cut them back to size as people are now aware of their true mindset.... ...go and read about the DAWN commission.....you will know levels are different.... ...
