Igbo are genius in business (no intention of bragging) and will always excel. A boy from one village will be called to learn trade in Aba or Onitsha (Igba boyi) remember this boy came with nothing but his clothes, but after settling him, six years the boy will become a millionaire (It is never money ritual but patience). One Wasiyu and Nwokeoma was given the same amount of money to start business in 2013, Nwokeoma invested his money in business and started getting #10000 profit every 3days while Wasiyu used his and do Owambe and carry girls, Now Nwokeoma is riding lexus350 while Wasiyu is walking on foot looking for menial work to do. 34 Likes 3 Shares |

post=91567293: I remember those topics very clearly. Ndi ofe where so happy and gloating on ndi igbo - they claim that omoibo will soon be out of business bc no one will leave shoprite to go patronize omo ibo in his 2x2 shops. i just smiled then and shake my head - i was like for many years of sharing one useless country with these lazy people they still never learn the simple fact of never to underrate an igbo man. nwanne pls while u r mentioning super-stores pls dont forget the fact that 50% of super-stores and 50% of mega hotels in Abuja and environs are wholly owned by ndi igbo. Exclusive stores Banex Plaza bakangizo jabi lake mall and many others hotels like rockview. and mine is coming up real soon - to spread it across the middle belt. almost at the final stage. underrate an igbo man at your own risk. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

post=91567611: If we remodel onitsha well and make it properly planned, to be honest, people from Africa will come to buy market in Onitsha. Onitsha easily is the greatest commercial City in Africa. I have so much idea of wat to do with it. The place is a goldmine and money-spinner. Could even net more money than Oil and Gas for the state government. 21 Likes 1 Share |
