BuddahMonk:


The Home of craft in Africa is Aba, you people rarely travel but claim everything.

Onitsha and Enugu are another area but not to the level of Aba, craft business in Aba is on the world of its own, nobody can challenge Aba craftmen.
People from Gabon, Togo, Ghana and Cameroun visit Aba daily for shoe purchase, visit Aba and see where tailors build 3 storey buildings.

Stop abeggggg, just stop now

Aareonakakanfo:



The only way that can happen is if we get autonomy. its definitely not happening at this moment.only the government can do that and the Current Government has better things to deal with.i can authoritatively tell you the plan to upgrade artisans and craftsmen is parts of the plans of the DAWN Commission but whenever we talk some people will start screaming one Nigeria. that's why i don't engage in all these biafran threads. i actually wish for their seccession. i wish it will happen today. Another thing is this, i don't think there's anywhere in the world where craftsmen are billionaires. kilode. look at this link and you'll smile.

I love what Shittu did there.But sentiments apart,don't you think Yorubaland especially Lagos is too saturated with more than enough craftsmen.?

Omololu007:
Only God knows why ibos on nairaland are always beefing yorubas,especially for lagos matter.a foreigner who read comment on nairaland will think yeebos dominate lagos...in ikorodu,ketu,magodo,mile12,ifako-gbadaga,akoka all the ibos have met in this places are so loyal,they might be part of the ibos always boasting on nairaland sha

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:


Lagos doesn't even have enough craftsmen i.m.o if you consider the population. if you go to osogbo and iseyin you'll understand my point

Ritchiee:
We are not looking at this thing with the same goggles if I may say so.Those area boys are mostly craftspeople. Their complaint is that they are not getting enough customers or not even been patronised because there are so many of them doing the same thing.
Were you not in a recent post/thread happy that we still had 3 billionaires from the Yoruba stock and not one single Ibo-Adenuga,Otedola,Alakija...on the Forbes list?Are these people craftsmen/woman.
Don't even go to the Alakija designer thing because she didn't get her dough from there...

Its like you forget your brain at the brothel

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

Aareonakakanfo:



Yes i was happy but i never said our billionaires were craftsmen. i already said there's no where in the world where craftsmen are billionaires at the same time no ibo will come here and tell me those spare parts traders are millionaires talkless of billionaires. crafts is a s.m.e thing. we're basically saying the same thing but there's a mix up

Ritchiee:
Have you seen
the UNDP report on poverty in Nigeria?I am not praying for that but in a couple of years from now,it would be a different story for the South Westerners.
In Nigeria of today,the Ibos are the most largely employed and they have a good middle class and still consolidating through this trade thing.
We want billionaires, millionaires and even thousandnaires who would be able to lift their communities and not these poor craftspeople that have become area boys...

You can't do it, I know what Yorubas can do.

Have you imagined how Igbos avoided this thread, they know your on long deserved slumber so no need to wake you guys up to your folly.

Even if yoruba competes with Igbo with one eye closed, you would still be beaten black and blue.You are our wives. Go and ask Lady Ojukwu.

Aareonakakanfo:



[b]Ha ritchie you sef don fall for their lie? those petty traders aren't middle class oo. The red-mud people are the ones packaging it. the red mud people refer to them as S.M.Es Dongeri-twisted most of them are in the o.k zone that is they can afford 3 square meals but that's where it ends plus they're staunch gamblers and a large chunk of the money they earn ends up in kessington adebutu's(baba ijebu) bank account . i'm an authority on this because i use to live close to most of them back then. they struggle to pay for rents. they're in the same category with yoruba taxi drivers. as for poverty in Nigeria, i tell you the south-west is still well grounded. the only problem with the southwest is population. Everyone wants to come there so its quite difficult for indigenes due to competition that's why when i tell people i'm 100% in support of all these biafran nonsense, they look at me weird. make everybody go hin house but its unfortunte a lot of yorubas don't look at the bigger picture. but two states i have so much confidence in are ogun state and ondo state. Ogun due to the influx of industries and Ondo due to their love for cocoa farming, osun was doing extremely well too until the salary issue[/b]

Cosbyrich:
In real big business,you are no match to the Yorubas but the problem is that most IBOS are coming into this trade thing like bees and mostly stationed in the South West especially Lagos and they are now using their population power to almost overwhelm the Kwarans who are traders and buying lands like the Ibos too.They even have more lands than the IBOS but are not shouting that they dominate anybody because they are Yorubas.Ifear that the other Yorubas would lose a substantial and juicy part of Lagos if they dont act quick.TRADE OR BIZ IS THE IN THING.BELIEVE IT OR LOSE WHILE YOU BECOME BEGGARS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LOOKING AT REALITY.

Chigold101:


Do you know how many over populated specialized market you have in Onitsha? When you people say Igbos flock to Lagos you make it look like if there is no market in Igboland.

Where have Ndi Igbo made noise about lands and properties they own I'm Lagos? Is it not in defence of themselves to threads like this one that make them to respond.

Talking about Kwarans, it is on record that most of them are not educated or do not even enjoy their wealth. Igbos know to spend an enjoy their little resources.
There are more Igbos in Social media in Nigeria than any other tribe, including in Nairaland. A Yoruba might be the owner but the man that sells the parts he needs for his computer is being sold by onye Igbo

patmaine:



I remember when we fought for independence. we wr invited by the queen to celebrate the coming independence. so. awolowo was at the far end. azikiwe was at d other end. I sat beside d queen.

so awolowo on noticing the spoon is gold. he said to zik. this is gold. I am taking it home.
zik now thought of a way to take the spoon without them thinking about it..


he told us he want to display a little black magic.

he put the spoon in his pocket and told the gathering that d spoon is in awolowos pocket...

U all kno the moral of this little history
