ikechuk0: Are you sure it's about SE Igbo only? Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia have Foundations based in Lagos. You can guess who the major beneficiaries would be. 1 Like |

bokohalal: [b]Perhaps [/b]a few Igbos would gain from this one Perhaps means what? It means uncertainty? As against the certainty that Yorubas have benefitted from Igbo-related charities, even where the benefactor has nothing to do with any Yorubaland 5 Likes |

Reason why I love nnewi people 90 percentage of investments in nnewi are from the sons and daughters of nnewi. And they hardly invest outside their town let alone outside SE |

Francis5:If you were sure that Igbos have not benefited, you would have categorically stated that. Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia are only giving back to their host community(ies.) Remember, other Nigerians do not invest in Igboland as much, if at all. 4 Likes |

bokohalal: you are just making unguarded statements. Tell us how the igbos have benefitted from Nigeria? So for the fact that those igbos do humanitarian works for communities means that they benefitted from the country? 1 Like |

Francis5:The way the languages you mentioned allowed your people to flourish in their place unhindered, I dont think your people have created or given them that enabling environment or hospitality which commensurates what they have towards your people and their businesses. They're only giving or have given to society that made them. The last line in your post says it all- you are just the perfect example of igbo man(save for rochas and ofor) . The worst thing is, you people think Jesus is one of you; but you are just too bad as a people and Christians . 3 Likes |

BALLOSKI: All these claims and counter claims sef. How on earth does living in Yorubaland make an Igbo man rich? If living in Yorubaland is a ticket to being rich, I wonder why all Yorubas are not rich. 4 Likes |

Re: See What This Igbo-American Top Shot Is Attracting To Nigeria by spectroscopic: 9:21pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
bokohalal: I do not understand these claims. Do Igbos in Yorubaland get free capital from Yorubas to start their business? Do they get free land to invest on? Proximity to what? What raw materials are present/proximal in Yorubaland and used by Igbos in their production? I would like to be enlightened on these. Thanks 1 Like |
Re: See What This Igbo-American Top Shot Is Attracting To Nigeria by bokohalal(m): 9:23pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
spectroscopic:Yes , they do. It is repatriated profits from other parts of Nigeria and beyond that is building up Igboland. |

Francis5: 70% in SE and 30% in SS, thats pretty much everyting. Nothing for SW You must follow in the footsteps of Igbos before you and invest everything in SW, otherwise you cannot carry the label "superior"! If that label is important to you and you cherish it, then nothing of.your investment should go.to SE. |
Re: See What This Igbo-American Top Shot Is Attracting To Nigeria by spectroscopic: 9:35pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
bokohalal: Before you make profit, you must have paid taxes, royalties, fees and levies to the authorities. And we know that Lagos State Govt is huge in collecting taxes from businesses located in its domain. Before you make profit you must have paid your workers. Would it be out of place to say that most workers in Igbo-owned companies in Lagos would be Yorubas? If an Igbo investor does all of these, what claims do you have the right to make regarding repatriating the left over? Keep in mind that the initial seed money used in investing in the business was not free money from a Yoruba govt. Its either a loan from a Bank with interests, or money from inheritance, etc Besides, some of the examples that have been given on this thread are Igbos who do not run their businesses in Lagos. I am not sure Emeka Offor or Rochas has any business in Lagos/Ibadan, yet they dole out charities to those places. Do you care to explain these to me? Thanks 1 Like |

Re: See What This Igbo-American Top Shot Is Attracting To Nigeria by bokohalal(m): 9:42pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
spectroscopic:For instance, an Igbo man has capital with which to invest. No land or seaport in Igboland to make access to goods easier. A Yoruba might not have capital to begin with . |
Re: See What This Igbo-American Top Shot Is Attracting To Nigeria by spectroscopic: 9:47pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
bokohalal: What do you mean no land to invest in in Igboland? Are you kidding me or you are serious? Even at that, the land he gets in SW, is it for free? Does every Igbo business man really, I mean really, need a seaport to sell his goods? Can he not open a depot in Lagos/Ibadan/Kano/Kano while his factory is in Igboland? Is that not what Dangote has done? Is that not what Glo has done (HQ in Lagos and small phone offices in Igboland)? |

There is a magnetism and urban attitude, a flair, a romantic air, a swagger if you will, that is felt and experienced in Yorubaland. The totality of that natural ambience formulates a conducive atmosphere that is benevolent to trade, commerce, security, diplomacy, expansion, growth and scaled opportunities. A person of no means or background steps into Yorubaland and if they are patient and abiding they soon gain importance, class and plenty means materially and socially. This ambience, its magnetism and charm cannot be reproduced anywhere else, no matter how hard we try. Therefore there is no need denying it or envying and hating it. Those who refuse to accept their place in it will have to accept a place elsewhere. We stand committed, as owners and indigenes, to make this Yorubaland an abode of security and wealth and happiness for all. Ibos and Biafrans, take notice and move away from your caustic complaints, sour remarks and mortal hatred for Yorubaland. 3 Likes 1 Share |
