That is not entirely true. Igbos don't lack wealth or capital. The problem is that most wealthy Igbo tend to brainlessly amass land instead of using their capital for production. This, I believe, is a major reason why the SE is underdeveloped.

If you want to look at land wealth in Nigeria, Igbos are probably the wealthiest in Nigeria. The capital is simply being misallocated to non-productive investments.

You're right. There are many wealthy Igbos you see, and you just think, ''why doesn't this guy set up a factory and produce stuff to sell?

Being an industrialist is the best occupation in Nigeria bar none.

The demand is there, so you will sell. So long as it's goods for which cheap Chinese substitutes are not allowed in the country, or if they are, you can produce at a lower cost or compete in price. But there are companies doing it here and thriving, especially in the East.

Many Igbos will make the excuse that the Federal Government is favoring Northerners, but I don't think this is the case. Nigeria is a pay to play system, and if you grease the right palms, doors will open for you. Also, the government will naturally favor a company that is in line with its import substitution policy over a company that is brainlessly importing and draining FOREX.

It is very alarming that, among the Nigerian billionaires, none are Igbo. 2 Fulani, and 3 Yoruba. Real wealth comes from value creation, not hustling and petty trading

Wealth is more equitably distributed among Igbos than other tribes because we carry each other along and break our wealth into pieces. No city has as much manufacturing base as Aba in Nigeria at small and medium scale level. No State has as much indigenous homegrown industries as Anambra State in Nigeria. Dangote and others became billionaires because their business are quoted in the stock exchange making it easier to calculate their worth. Danjuma is probably richer than Dangote but his numerous firms are just private.

Op, your topic should have read "Why are Igbo manufacturers not as great as their Northern and Southwestern counterparts? ". Let me tell you, a lot of Igbo manufacturers are making it down here in the Southeast on a low key. I want to believe that the Igbos dominate the SME in Nigeria. And in a developing economy, having numerous SMEs is not bad at all. If anything, it ensures fair distribution of wealth.

Moreover, the infrastructure and policies to drive manufacturing business is not really there.

Lastly, the hype on Igbo men business acumen is done mostly by non-Igbos, and you can't really blame them for what people say about them. What most people don't understand is that an average Igbo man believes in survival and luxury, and goes about it as circumstance permits him.

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

Be angry with your tribe for not having that financial power.

Your previous posts shows that you hate igbos, business and politics aside.

We hope to see the industry you are setting up.

And I guess you and the creator of this thread are same.

Do you know the bribes that Dangote has paid to get to where he is now? And as much as I hate the North, I'm not convinced that Dangote's success is because he is Fulani. Nigeria is a pay to play system. No one is stopping Igbo businessmen from greasing the right palms in Nigeria.

There is no country where Dangote operates where he isn't engaged in mass bribery. There is nothing wrong with it. That's how business is done in Africa.

Who told you? I know a young Ibo man that manufactures plastics, I know my former pastor that was manufacturing CD ROM when no one was doing it in Nigeria.
Also you forget they give some people licenses and rights to do some things.
With no bigotry feelings, the Fulanis wouldn’t give an Igbo man some benefits. The Fulani tribe controls Nigeria so giving their sworn enemies some monopolistic leverages is haram.
Watch the video “HISTORY OF NIGERIA”. You will see a Tafawa Balewa talking about the Ibos.
Well if you just want banter I understand but we all know the truth.
Be friends with Ibos and see the spirit of manufacturing in them.






Aconomist:
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.

I see you just want to argue. I don’t know the reasons sha. You talking about a war that wiped 3 million people and more. Even nations that experienced war are still recuperating.
People's wealth were seized and given few pounds in return to start life.
Well this life no balance. With the way you talk you have no heart. God will judge you.
Dangote wanted to start growing tomatoes, he flew in experts from Italy and some countries I can’t remember. Initial start up of $450m went in to it still they have not reach any tangible stage.
See Emefiele and his ways of frustrating people exporting cocoa. See ehn Nigeria is bad. Second the government will decimate any big time Ibo manufacturer.
