Daviddson: “Few people realise that he still remains the richest African by every standard today, worth in trillions if you consider that he left about £10m in 1966 – at 10 per cent compound interest,” You skipped that part. He invested in British stock and banks. His son Odimegwu used his money to fund Biafran government, which was part of the reason the man developed heart issues and later died in 1966 ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

Igbos always believe that their problem is caused by the other surrounding tribes.. learn how to love other tribes, u lack intertribal relations and u don’t see it, you always right in your own house, even if u have your Biafra or whatever u called it, you will still have the same problem among one another (the sub tribes)... that’s why we may never have Igbo president because they want to make Nigeria president on their own, they have created enemy by themselves that no one (other tribes) can never support then especially Hausa/Fulani...wait and see how they will come and attack me now instead for them to check themselves 2 Likes |

plusfield: There are problems in life. As it is for every individuals, so it is for every corporate business organizations. . .there is no easy way out. The very successful people are those who somehow have managed to solve their problems/obstacles/challenges. 1) The border closure affect all Nigerians irrespective of their tribes. If footwares can't be exported through land borders, why not through shipping ( which is the cheapest means of transportation of goods or even Cargo Airplanes?) Successful business men don't sit down whining over obstacles to their business growths but they overcome or by-pass them. 2) Do you know how many houses can use one Mega watt of electricity? Mass production of solar energy at affordable costs to private and commercial buildings don't need involvement of NERC or the FG. I know some hospitals, Hotels, Churches and even Petrol Stations that have solar panels on their roofs supplying electricity as alternatives to NEPA. You can key into this emerging markets especially in your State and nobody will discriminate against you. |

On dirtiest of Aba and poor infrastructure, blame the state and federal governments, you don't expect private individuals to construct all the roads and also construct drained systems. |
