Dangote used to import until the FG gave him the platform to go into production. Give other importers the same advantages and they will become producers as well.

Dangote despite all the advantages the company enjoys, were fighting Ibeto cement in court few years ago tongue



This was what happened. 100%

Igbos are known to have a very business-oriented culture, but it seems to focus on petty trading and hustling instead of value-added manufacturing. Take for example Ibeto cement. While his peers Dangote and Rabiu (BUA Group) graduated from importing into manufacturing, Ibeto continues to cling to the old business model of mass importation which drains the nation's FOREX reserves and creates poverty and unemployment.

I don't want to hear excuses today. It is very alarming that, among the Nigerian billionaires, none are Igbo. 2 Fulani, and 3 Yoruba.

What is the name of your own manufacturing company. Two, are you among the Fulani or Yoruba billionaires?

Dangote was sponsored by Obasanjo who is not a Northerner. In fact, if you look at Dangote's investment pattern, you will see that he is a fully committed Lagosian and doesn't care much for his origin in Kano. Almost all his core investments are in the South West. He even decided to move his refinery to Lekki -- 300 miles away from any oil or gas source. If that is not a real lagosian, who is?

Even a core Northerner like Rabiu knew to make is refinery near the gas in Akwa Ibom. Dangote brought his to Lagos to please his sponsors

Dangote was not "sponsored" in the conventional sense of the word by Obasanjo but he was a god-son like Elumelu & others and enjoyed policy favouritism. In purely naira and kobo terms, he is an investment vehicle of the northern establishment today.

Go back and read the tone with which we were interacting to how it was after the change

You know the truth bro

I like Dangote because we are finally getting an oil refinery in Nigeria. Above anything, I want to see the black race industrialize and become self-sufficient. And right now, Dangote is the only one taking us in that direction, that's why I support him.

At the end of the day, Igbo, Yoruba or Fulani we are black first.

He's killing the economy


He determines pricing and drives prices up in ways Nigerians don't give thought to


Thanks to Dangote tomato paste wants to reach astronomical levels


Rather than have a monopoly system I prefer to have multiple Importers than sell the country to a thief


I support systems not people. Unfair business people


An Ijebu business man is building the second largest refinery, BUA is also building. Modular ones are coming up, petrol. Is phasing out. Delta state is building state of the art petrochemical industries. SE is partnering with Hyundai to create massive refinery


I support healthy business systems not fraudster's who hyperinflation their company portfolio to raise investors emotions, steal their funds, then decline their real value so investor funds remains in negative for even 10 years even with dividends inclusive while they use the cash to build their company and then record madd financial portfolio. This was what Dangote did. If he near me I go expose am

I am not sure what your intentions are but I can see a hole in your post.

First if this is about value added and the creation of jobs. I advice you read this report. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.oecd.org/cfe/smes/2090740.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiql7flyLLtAhVB-aQKHVSzAy8QFjATegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw2yjBABonLDqMe0_FJTYu2L

Secondly, I would like to point out that having one billionnaire from a particular area is not an indication of how business sarvy an average man from that area is.

How can you say Igbo's are not manufacturing when you have never left zamfara state to nnewi or aba or Onitsha?
Yes we may not have many billionaires but we have millions of millionaires who has made their money from small scale manufacturing. Its better the money is spread throughout the population than have one golden boy acting as a poster boy to the politicians

It's a lie. I'm setting up a few production outfits
Nobody is determining my location. The FG doesn't determine the location of. Nada


My. Uncle has the largest bakeries for example in my place when asked to. Move out he says he wants to promote business activity in his place.



Let me give you cogent examples the igbos need to do some serious soul searching.


I've heard Nnamdi kanu offered 200 Million Naira for some person's head. Do you know the average production outfit doesn't cost more than 150 Million Naira


Anambra alone can produce 1000 men that can cough out 150 Million in just a few seconds. Why can't they raise these so called group of business men with like minds under the auspicies of Igbo business men for the development of SE and setup 1000 industries.


If SE has 1000 industries creating 50 jobs per industry, that's 50,000 jobs created by Ndigbo for Ndigbo. The igbos have the talent. I've seen them operate heavy machinery in different market locations. And I weep each time I see them operate and wish they could be more. But they are blinded



Rather than chase politics groups like Orange can summon rich igbo sons and daughters to set up industries and before you know it 1000 industry will. Grow to 5000 industries and 50000 jobs to 250000 jobs. The Ndigbo already have financial flow and finance in banking industry and will provide the support.

It's simple. I've been very angry with igbo elites. If my tribe has much of what they have I will be cursing my elders daily. I hope and pray they discover what they have

It's an interactional discussion. I don't think I put igbo down in anyway

Work on your comprehension of information. I had igbo ancestors. There's no big deal in discussing issues as matured minds.

That's why you don't develop mentally. If in all the discussions we had from economics to macro finance to forex to import export policies to production you didn't pick anything meaningful. Then I feel sorry for you


We discussed on Marina and it's lacklustre form from a purely SW perspective. Even yorubas on the thread didn't see it as putting it down but as developmental talk to stimulate interactional talks.


Change your reasoning

i think they are not realy interested in nigeria....

they think the idea of nigeria is fruitless and futile....

and most that piss them off is to share a nation with muslims....

they wouldnt have that much issues with yorubas or other tribes so long they are not muslims....

they take this religion stuff very serious....maybe it has to do with their culture to believe the same....

thats why cownunu has it hard to convert them to jewism....
