He was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, to a young single woman who worked in Lagos as a domestic servant. Her employers were a foreign family who were working in the bustling, dense city. While his mother was working in the city, Zeitlin lived in the Nigerian countryside with relatives.


He owns a telecommunications outfit in India, has his own investment firm, The Keffi Group, and is a director of Coach Inc, one of America’s premier luxury brands. He also sits on the boards of various philanthropic, educational and commercial organizations. He looks like a man who has always been destined for success. Zeitlin’s life could have turned out very differently.

Uchasa:
Igbos have more companies than this

MrMaestro:


You wish.

Uchasa:


I don't wish bro
First of all i'm not Igbo
But i can open a thread listing Igbo companies,it may not end.
Igbos and Yorubas have one of the greatest achievements in sub saharan Africa, but i think the Igbos have an uper hand.
Apart from controlling SME, they have chains of notable companies, which you never knew were owned by Igbos.
Everyday on nairaland, i see one achievement or the other by the Igbos in the diaspora, apart from the numerous existing ones i know.
I respect them for this.

They already open a thread on that. Trust me, it got nothing close to this.

Uchasa:

I'll open a detailed one

Go through the above thread first before wasting your energy.

Uchasa:



That's nothing compared to what i have, important companies like SLOT Nigeria, Transcorp Hillton, Air Peace,Quits Aviation Service Limited, UBA bank, Access-Diamond Bank, Zenith Bank, Rockview Suites, e.t.c amongst hundreds of Igbo owned companies were ommitted.

LegendHero:


Lol. Even your kinsmen with more brain power than you tried to duel with the Yorubas and failed. Let alone someone like you that’s evidently a joker.

The Yorubas are not your mate, we are in our own class and the only competition to the Yorubas are the Yorubas themselves.

Yoruba Lagba!

The reverse is the case, i went through both threads, and i saw more investments and companies, notable ones for that matter on the Ibo thread.
I think Yorubas are still learning from the Ibos in every aspect, apart from entertainment.
The Ibos are in another class different from the Yorubas.

Stealing Delta minorities

Ijaya123:


So in your mind, am Igbo man founded Transcorp?

You must be a clown.

Uchasa:


Delta minorities where?
What's Delta minorities

ProjectNaija:


Zenith Bank and Access bank are neither owned or promoted by Igbo men. They are both Delta minorities. Infact the original founders of Access bank were Yoruba before it was taken over by the AIG Imoukhoude led management and AIG is from Edo State. Even Jim Ovia the founder of Zenith is from Edo State and Tony Elumelu of UBA is a Delta minority

Am through with you,go and do your homework then be sober.lmao.
Igbo kwenu!!!!
Anu Meka!!!!!
Igbo amaka!!!!
Igbo Kwuezuonu!!!

Uchasa:


Tackling me doesn't make a difference
Ibos are far ahead of Yorubas.
Most Yoruba business tycoons enjoy federal aid but most Ibos are independent.Moreover Yorubas are socialists in nature, while most ibos are capitalists in nature.

NGpatriot:








Whyare you ipob amaka warriors always denying your ipob identity?

Don't be a coward, stand by your identity.

Why are you even here with your ibo worries and headache?

Your ibo brothers created their own similar topic and it died after a few pages and so many repititions.

Feel free to start another ibo topic and stop derailing.

You Igbos can be very very annoying sha.

Uchasa:


The fact that i can speak ibo does that make me ibo??

Omofunaab2:



Don't mind them jare. They don't know you are from Indonesia.

Uchasa:


You are not funny

Onlinesmart:
He's funny but you're the clown in all of these. Go open yà igbotic thread and we shall drown you with facts. Comparing landlords with tenants is a crime on its own or have you forgotten that 85% of igbos made their money in Yorùbá land? Only Harry Akande and Mike adenuga with Bolu akin-olugbade is enough to buy the whole of southeast and level it up. Go find out about Harry Akande (an Ìbàdàn man) and Bolu Akin-olugbade (an Ẹ̀gbá man). We don't make mouth bro, we are leading and God did it for us so respect your bosses.

Uchasa:
It's time we Igbos say a very big thank you to the Yorubas,i was born and brought up in Yoruba land,so I can relate with what Chief Falae said...

Uchasa:
It must always be Afonja ...Yeriba and Juju is like 5&6
