@layohomes@Tboi17 Where is the north killing us? Ibos are killin the whole country with fake drinks. You better wake up and condemn the evil your people are doing all over the world
@im_Kolins It’s like telling a British man that you are more British than him because you migrate to settle or do business in his place. Why do yall always spill this narrative
@im_Kolins If you buy property in the west, north, NC, or SS, or does that translate to you being more Nigerian than those people? It’s those people that accommodate that are more Nigerian than you migrants.
@Oracle4hrdtruth@DanielRegha What’s that enterprising skills should we praise Ibo for? If we praise you what should we do to the Chinese that make the product you sell? How about the Hausas that produce most of the food we eat? How about the Yorubas that account for large percentage of our artisans?
This company.... along with many of the mega blue chip companies you see along Ikeja road came to Nigeria during the leadership of the Sage... Obafemi Awolowo.... from 1951 - 1960.
The sage designed the region such that they sourced their raw materials locally and also built similar home-grown industries to rival them.... farmers and graduates benefitted for the wisdom of the sage.... Among the many home-grown industries of the time are Nigerite... Tower Aluminum.... Nigeria textile mills.... ( A lot of oof manufacturing companies under the O'dua group of companies including West African Portland Cement eventually went extinct.... thanks to OBJ)
Yorubaland was the biggest hub for manufacturing in West Africa in the 1950's...
Then the economic migrants showed up.... they started to import knock off products... sold less than standard products and ran many companies in Yorubaland underground....
They also introduced adulterated products for creams, drugs.... drinks... even baby food...... The brought bend down select... all these slowed down manufacturing activities in Yorubaland.
Now that the Chinese are around... we want sons of Zik to pack and go back to Onitsha.... Yorubaland wants to work with them to build new industries for our time. Ndi developers go home with your substandard products... Yorubaland needs a Chinese breadth of fresh air.
For Yorubaland to be industrialized again like the first republic, there must be and aggressive phase out of local migrant traders.
They destroyed many of our industries with fake goods.... fake drinks.... adulterated products sold at knock down prices and bend down select clothes.... This started during the presidency of Babangida.
The Chines presence is a great development. They will eventually bring their industries, and the Government can work with them to build industries as well as source materials locally in many designated free trade zones. This is a much better future for Yorubaland than the silent killers posing as traders selling fake medicine and even adulterated baby food.
The major support Peter Obi gets from Lagos comes from the shop owners…. They claim to believe in competence….. They constantly argue that prices of goods and commodities are high and there is hardship....
Same people are now angry with a people more competent than them… They used to brag that competition is good and are now upset about competition…. Same people who want prices of commodities to be cheaper are now upset that some people are selling cheaper.
On one hand, they did everything to paint South Africans bad for fighting against foreigners doing retail trade in their country… And now they are upset that foreigners are doing retail in Yorubaland.
It is disrespectful for people who migrated to Yorubaland and were accommodated to question the right of local authorities accommodating another group of people that will ease the burden of high prices. The duty of local leaders is not to protect your business interest at the expense of their people.
You cannot protest or claim special privileges in Yorubaland at the detriment of Yoruba people. If you are not happy with the turn of events, go back to Onitsha….
@EhisBukason Tinubu government is a reset of the status quo. That’s why Ibos are panicking. Ibo type of business can’t function in a sane environment. America have silicon valley and ibo expect me to be happy with Alaba and Onitcha market
@EhisBukason They loved Yaradua because he brought down the price of fuel which favors a container economy. They cry over the price of dangote cement but find excuse for their brothers who are 10 times worse than dangote. At least dangote created employment
@EhisBukason They were makin tons of money not knowing we were eating our future away. Import discouraged production and Ibos have built tradition around import base economy. They even make a movie about it.
@EhisBukason We pride in dangote, Otedola, Adenuga who are industrialist while they pride in Obi and onitcha market. People that built a life around importation can’t champion production. Buhari banned rice they hated him. Obasanjo banned cement they never forgave him totally till today
@tiger48941@chudy_jnr Difference is that Yorubas make indigenous clothes more while Ibos faked foreign clothes. Maybe factories are closed down in the 80s across SW due to influx of Asia products. Bata, Dunlop, Michelin, etc. were victims
@tiger48941@chudy_jnr Lol. You said Yorubas are technologically inept? Really? Which tribe is more into tech between Yoruba and Ibo? Wetin dem dey produce for Aba? Clothes and Shoes? There are more Yorubas making more clothes than Ibo.
