afonjaheadhunt, I saw the thread, and that of badooboys, honestly I was disappointed; even though the duel between the two group cracks me up, but its very unnecessary. To drive home my point, Its high time you guys stop this comparison match. If we must grow, we have to imbibe the culture of silence. The Japanese do the work, while the rest do the talking. We should do the work and lets others do the talking. Besides, what policies is our home government implementing to promote and protect our indigenous manufacturers? I guess you'll agree with me that such threads deserves top priority, and not useless dick measuring match with afonjas. Lets revive back the spirit of our forebears, its in our DNA. They where silent achievers. The 20 pound policy is a testament to this truth. Indi'Igbo unu muru'enya.
don't do it!!!! I know what you are thinking... you are planning to roast your fathers balls and your mothers bre.ast for ritual..... afonjezzzzzzyyyyy

It is an igbo thread of defeat and lamentation….. I dont give too f$%*k about the trash you wrote/posted dude
afonjaheadhunt: Igbo's let us not be fooled by Yorubas attempt to derail this thread, thesame Yorubas that were not able list their manufacturers on their own thread have come here crying in an attempt to derail this thread Igbo's please I hope we get the massage and don't fall for any attempt of derailing the thread by afonjas.
They can go to the other thread the Igbo's owned from page 5-75 to post their companies, however this thread here is to discuss issues sensitive and pertaining to Ndigbo we must not be used to derail our own thread the message is clear the message is simple, Igbo's stop endangering our manufacturers.
got your back bro comparing afonja to the Igbo's is a slap to the Igbo's
I made a video in regards to Nigeria's current landscape.It"s a video on restructuring the nation and why it's resurging now. I hope to borrow a few minutes of your attention please! I hope you could give it a watch
This life is indeed full of mystery and surprises, the same Afonjas that were only posting, Dudu osun, pondo yam, and alabuku as their product have come here to start another comparisons it is clear these guys have no shame, Igbo's even have more industries in Ogun state and Lagos than Afonjas yet these shameless Afonjas, shamelessly still embarrasse their forbears by making a fool of themself on the world stage.
I am not afonja but I feel very ashamed at their actions, well we all know na mad man brother dey suffer the shame that is the case with Afonja. Even the companies their fathers inherited after the war, they run it to the ground today their children shamelessly claim Toyota, Nissan, Proforce and Tata, what a sad generation Afonja have produced unfortunately there is no light at the end of the tunnel for them.

Thanks this is the type of response I expect from my Igbo brothers I am hoping they do not fall for the antics of Afonjas by joining them to derail this thread. About our leader I have previously created a thread on that, personally I think they are short sighted and lack the will to develop Igbo land.
odduduwa: got your back bro comparing afonja to the Igbo's is a slap to the Igbo's
I tell you, this comparison is becoming embarrassing it's just like saying Ogun state makes more shoes than Aba. When we all know that Aba alone makes more shoes than the SW put together.
However this thread is to lay emphasis on the dangers that listing out companies portend for our manufacturers. Our people should stop it, if Afonjas want to know what we have they should come to SE we have been to SW and seen that the have nothing.
And you think there's no bigotry attached to such perception of igbo's by other tribes? you think the other tribes are not merely kettles calling pot counterparts black!
All the superlatives being used here are exaggerations to say the least! Tread carefully when generalizing o. Even the comparison threads are in poor taste. You won't catch developed world nationals doing this. Best we have the referendum and go our ways sef.
You were roundly and convincingly beaten by the Yorubas boys
who is this ratak. .you really want to turn this thread to tribal war?...the tribal war is in the Yoruba thread eehn...where meat pie is a technology know how..hahahaha

they are trying to derail and pollute the thread cos thiers has been polluted. .but we are faster than them
afonjaheadhunt: [s]Igbo's please we have made our point on "What have Yoruba produced?" Thread, we have shown not just Nairalanders, Nigerians but the entire globe what we have been able to achieve in Nigeria against all odd, that thread have shown the Igbo ingenuity, innovation and doggedness as a matter of fact it has gone a long way to show what an Igbo nation is capable of achieving, even the Yorubas that created the thread were confined to a status of mere onlookers and were subjected to admiration of our ingenuity in fact many of them doubted it and believed that our companies showcased are random foreign companies whose picture were recycled from google. That goes to show how far we have gone in terms of technological advancement, manufacturing and innovation and to think that most of the heavy machinery used in those companies were fabricated in the east, Aba precisely is a thing of joy and pride.
However that is not the point of this thread, Igbos are know to be wise, and it is not surprise that the three wise men came from the east, however our actions on that thread is not one that portrays wisdom especially in the society that we find ourselves today. Igbo's let us be wise in our actions, it is true that Igbo's believes in Equity, equality and justice for all, we also know Igbo's are Liberals, Capitalist, democratic in custom, but we must not assume that the border context "Nigeria" that we find ourself today Shares these same ideals and ideologies with Igbo's, we might just be shooting ourselves in the foot by trying to take pride in our achievement while it is a thing of joy and honor, however our current border context does not support this. We must realize that we are doing some of these our great sons and daughters a great disservice by showcasing them the way we are doing, I must confess I am guilty of this on that thread, we must realize that some of these companies receive massive patronage because many people are not aware they are made in Igboland.
In addition many of these Igbo executives and chiefs who own these companies are riding to success cause their products are assumed to be imported and most of them export their products, many of us must realize that the Igbo's are the only ones in the federation who don't care where a product is manufactured as long as it is made in Nigeria however that cannot be said of any other tribe except maybe the Hausa Fulani too who don't care. It is only the Igbo man that will see a product boldly written made in Ogun, Jos, Kano, Kaduna, and does not care as long as it is made in Nigeria Igbo's will patronize it. However that cannot be said when a Yoruba or other Nigerians see a product made in Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Enugu, even when these products are unrivaled in the market and have proven to be the best or smashed every fail or credibility test you still hear Pharses like, "Igbo made" "Aba made" "Omo nna product" especially when these product come from the east, this why our manufacturers would prefer to write made in FRC or made in India.
We all know the issue Yorubas have with Innoson is that it is not made in Lagos or Ogun, so expanding his plant to Uyo infuriated them even further. Also we must realize that showcasing our indigenous industrialization prowess will make leaders in power make policies that will be unfavorable for Igbo industrialist, We all saw it happen to Ibeto, Slok, Erisco just to name a few, even Innoson was made to face established foreign competition to stifle the growth of the company if not for the doggedness of the Igbo man the company would have long closed shop as many had expected. We must also realize that the reason many Yoruba artisans like mechanics, technicians, carpenters, always advice you to buy Tokunbo over new products when it comes to car, generators or motorcycles spare parts was because many of these products are manufactured in the East, ignorantly I did not know this and would always buy the used parts as being superior to the locally manufactured new ones which I was made to consider inferior. However what these artisans would not tell you is that the new ones are made in Nigeria, made in the East, primarily their reasons for boycotting it.
My experience in 2014, my Honda EOD would always have issues with the stabilizing links and I would always change them monthly with tokunbo as advised by my mechanics so after this continued for too long, I felt i was being used and deceived by these guys I angrily told them on the next repair to by a new one instead of the Tokunbo that would always spoil after a few weeks, the mechanic disgruntled however heed to my words and bought a new one I checked the name it was "HACO" I did not bother to check were it was manufactured (Buying HACO was be best decision i took for that car since I bought it) after the mechanic was done with installation and upon inspecting I discovered that the screws were loosely holding the tires I kept mute drove to a safe distance tightened the screws and called the mech to tell him that my tires flew out while I was in motion, before I even finished the statement he was already shouting Oga shebi I tell you say, make you buy Tokunbo you talk say na new one you want, at this point I dropped the call and went to the trunk of the car to check where the product was manufactured, it was boldly written made in Nnewi, then I realized how far some people could go to discredit an Igbo mans product, Interestingly I never had to change that link until after 8 months when the car was due for service, Now I use only new products even if it is made in Togo.
Another scenario, before I never knew A-Z was owned by an Igbo man in fact I used to think it was owned by "Mummy" princess Bola Jegede, the Owner of A-z schools which I attended and she also has a football academy, however I was wrong, before then my mechanics (Another Mechanic) apparently like myself was also ignorant of this too, he advice me that if I wanted the best engine life for my car that I should always use A-z he said it was so good people used it if their cars had gearbox problems, then to my greatest surprised here on Nairaland I realize that A-z was owned by an Igbo man I shared this information it with my mechanic because of the way he promotes it he argued with me and said it was owned by a Yoruba the same woman I assumed when I convinced him showed him proofs beyond doubt he kept mute, on the next service he brought AP, when I asked him why AP he said "A-z fake done full market" I refused using the AP and said I would get the original A-z myself, which I did, afterall he told me if I want the best engine life I should always use A-z so I insisted.
I did not suspect any fowl play or lie however, it dawned on me when the same thing repeated it self, He advice I always use seahorse ATF stating that it was the best on the market, when i told him that the product was setting up a factory in the east and was owned by an Igbo man, on the next service he came with Master ATF, when I asked him why masters ATF he said "Seahorse fake done full market" i did not bother telling him that master ATF was owned by an Igbo man since then my car have been using Masters ATF. So Ndigbo this is why I call on us to use wisdom, we know what we are capable of we do not owe anyone any explanations neither do we have to prove anything to anybody, instead of engaging in this unhealthy back and forth with Yorubas thereby endangering our manufacturers exploits please let us try to add more value to the East by patronizing them, setting up more industries and protecting the existing ones not exposing them to danger, I would have added some encounters i faced promoting my products too, but this thread is already too long.

Igbo's let be wise and guided. Daalu nu.
Inasmuch as igbos don't have comparism in Africa, if these folks failed to bury Igbo's with scorched earth policies like the 20 pounds policy, the indigenization policy, banning and blocking imports via eastern ports, frustration of Enugu international airport nothing would make their antics against igbos work.
A lesson Igbos have tought the world is the lesson of dogged and never say die.
It's Visible and crystal clear to the blind and audible to the deaf that Yorubas no be mate with igbos Papa. Its not by making mouth or beating chest. Against fact there are no arguement-Selah. From Agriculture, Telecommunication, Legal services, Construction, Food processing, Consulting, Gambling, Retail sales, Franchising, Real estate,
Education, Pharmaceuticals, Hospitality/Tourism
Mass media, ICT, Banking, Insurance, Financial services,FMCG, Entertainment even to religion (do we have any Int'l igbo founded Churches? Compare to yoruba Founded Winners, Redeem, Deeper life, MFM, Synagogue, Daystar, COZA) the assemblies of God wey Oyinbo dash them dey don use thug scatter am.
I DARE any igbo dead or alive to show me any sector of Nigeria Economy that an Igbo company or firm surpasses that of the Yorubas.
who is this ratak. .you really want to turn this thread to tribal war?...the tribal war is in the Yoruba thread eehn...where meat pie is a technology know how..hahahaha
You are a fool They simply killed all you chest beaters while you did nothing but post same pictures from begining to the end Osu Anuofia wawa abakaliki like you.i will just e-kill you

In as much as it is true that they cannot stop the Igbo's do you realize they can slow the Igbo's down like they are doing today, and make business difficult for our business men and manufacturers thus forcing them to move out of the SE or Nigeria in general, we have to be wise and forget that the Igbo man is unstoppable when he can be distracted, frustrated and slowed down in his endeavors.
they are trying to derail and pollute the thread cos thiers has been polluted. .but we are faster than them
Olodo, abakaliki university graduate. You ibos are illiterates trying to compare yourselves to the clearly superior and better educated yorubas Yorubas are better than igbos in literacy #Fact
