This thread is very interesting. I was one of those Yoruba that used to believe Igbos were the richest and most industrious people in Nigeria until i starting seeing things. There are many industrious Yorubas out there that dont make noise. Igbos dont have 20 percent of what Yorubas have. There is a reason why many Igbos are in Asian prison.
Trafficking drugs does not make u industrious. Only lazy people do that.
Igbos own nothing!
They are noise makers!

This is not wasting of time, Igbos have been saying rubbish for years that they own majority of property and industries in Lagos and Southwest. Ask them what the names of the property and industries are, they will turn to deaf and dumb. This thread is to set the record straight and show the world that these people are habitual chestbeaters and bloody liars.

It is only fools that will believe that Igbos developed Lagos. How did they develop Lagos? Is it from the bend down select clothes they sell, or junk electronics they sell as no testing, or from gala, lacasera and recharge cards they sell in traffic?
As a matter of fact, Hausas own more property in Lagos than Igbos. In one thread the other day, I challenged Igbos to come up with a legit business their brothers do in Lagos that make more money than a mallam doing bureau de change. Up till date, I'm still expecting them to reply me undecided.

BEHIND THE BRAND: WILSON’S JUICE COMPANY

BY EYITEMI POPO  

The first time I saw Wilson’s lemonade in a Lagos store, I assumed it was a new American drink. I was intrigued to find out the juice was the brainchild of two young Nigerian brothers, Seyi and Seun Abolaji, and even more shocked when I learned it was made in Nigeria. I sat with one of the brothers, Seun Abolaji to find out more about Wilson’s Juice Company. Their first product, Wilson’s lemonade, is growing in popularity and can now be found in over 140 locations in Nigeria.

Tell me a little bit about your background.

I was born in Nigeria and moved to the United States as a child. I lived in Colorado and then moved to Atlanta for college where I attended Emory University. I have a doctorate in Pharmacy and was living in Brooklyn, New York prior to moving to Nigeria.

How did the idea for Wilson’s lemonade come about?

I moved back to Nigeria and first began working with palm kernel, but that business fell apart. I then thought of doing orange juice. Anyway, one day I saw fresh lemons in the market and said to my friends, “Wow. I haven’t had lemonade in a while.” So we made a fresh batch and a neighborhood kid walked up to us and asked what we were making. We let him taste some and he liked it. He came back a few minutes later with four other people and that’s how it started.

How did you go from concept to reality?

We started off with a plastic lemon squeezer and we would hand squeeze the fresh lemons. We would sell lemonade in cups and we actually made pretty good money doing that. We had eleven people working with us, but it was hectic. We just couldn’t make it quickly enough and it was hard to keep track of what we sold so I suggested bottling it. We made our first ten bottles and only sold two. Our staff wanted us to just stick to cups, but I insisted on bottling the lemonade and it soon caught on.

We were initially using recycled bottles, but we wanted our bottles to be distinct. We had a mold created in China, which we use to produce our bottles here. Everything is produced in Nigeria; the bottles, the lemons, the hibiscus flower (zobo) we use for our pink lemonade, and the pure cane sugar. It’s all natural and all Nigerian.



What’s your dream for the brand?

We want our brand to serve as a healthy, all-natural alternative to what’s currently available. So many juices on the market are filled with concentrate and sweeteners, which aren’t good for you. We also want our brand to show that young people can create something that’s cool, fun, fresh, locally-made, and quality.

What is your greatest challenge right now?

There are so many challenges. Talent for one thing. It’s hard to find good people. We have managed to do that up to this point. We have a good team, but as we grow, finding talent is a struggle.

Another major challenge is distribution. It would be great to just focus on manufacturing and have someone do the distribution, but we might end up having to distribute ourselves.

Marketing and creating brand awareness are also challenging. Convincing people to give you shelf space and then getting the customer to buy your product are challenges. People say “You guys are everywhere!” but we are not.

How have you positioned your brand to be competitive not only with locally-made products, but imported ones as well?

It starts from the bottle. You already see the difference in the shape and label. We are also trying to tell a story with our products, so you’ll see that the label has a short story on it. When the product was being approved for the Nigerian market, we were encouraged to take off that story. The lady said “You are wasting your time. Nigerians won’t even read it.” However, we have found that customers have connected with the product from that story.

And of course, we have positioned our product as a healthy alternative to what’s out there.

What’s next? Where do you see your brand in the next two years?

In the next two years we will have more flavors of our lemonade, other juices, and even other products. There is more to come. There are many challenges, but the key is to be consistent.

The amount of money made by Sulah Bureau De Change in a week is more than the profit of all Igbo traders in some Local governments in an entire month.

These illiterates just make noise online like poorly evolved monkeys. If you check tax statistics of Lagos Internal Revenue, the areas occupied by Igbos have the lowest tax figures. It's not a mere coincidence that the annual IGR of the 5 SE states isn't up to that of Mushin Local Government alone.

If any Igbo clown comes here to make noise again, I'll ask Hushpuppy to buy up his state and turn it into a piggery.

For me, this thread has reinforced my belief that Yorubas don't need Igbos for ANYTHING! And I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! We don't depend on them for food, clothing (we have our own tailors and we actually rock more traditional/ankara/Aso-Oke fabric with pride), footwears (we get our own shoemakers brekete), entertainment (no contest), industry (no contest), just name it.

Look at this one, when the Western Region had TV, your fathers didn't know how to wear clothes.

Your rich men dare not say Yorubas don't produce tech products. They come to Proforce to buy armoured vehicles to defend them from the bullets of their own brothers when going to their fathers compounds in the East.

You're talking of virtual service companies? It's unfortunate you're suffering from generational myopia which blinds you and your ilk from having foresight.

In your hereditary ignorance, you fail to realize that despite having more than a hundred stores, Amazon is bigger than Walmart with just a domain name.

I don't blame you though, your brains are yet to evolve to the level at which you can participate in the future of technology.

Jumia, Konga, Deal dey, Olx, etc are owned and managed by Yorubas they're the ones putting unintelligent Igbos out of business. You think petty trading is business, more e-commerce sites are coming.
