The Igbos are very industrious people. Growing up in Benin City, I was lucky to live near an Igbo man who was an artist "Obi's Art" He did allow me to standby and watch him at work. He could draw a huge portrait of many people with a pencil so perfect. He does rubber stamps with razor blades. Few years later I was able to use the same skill and technique at my spare time and was able to be able to pay my school fee as a small boy without father or mother. This was in the 1950s. I love the Igbos for their industrious ability.
Or they should invest in a large industrial park in or near the town with access to; the Express ways, training initiatives for blue collar workers, electricity priority, water, a land port for transhipments and anything else needed for success manufacturing. And anyone who builds a factory in the park would get limited tax breaks and be forced to hire 80% local people.
@rdokoye I stand corrected. Nnewi is unique that it creates its own wealth, but it still needs a beautified edifice to uplift the high standard of this city
Lol, igbo man and his ingenuity. He knocked down 36 units per container into 220 units per container. Incredible Maths, this is who we are. The day the rest of Nigerian tribes, will stop their hatred towards the igbos and align with the igbos, that's the day this country will prosper all around.
I love every bit of this. I pray it boooooms 100 fold. People like these will make Nigeria less oil dependent. Heck! I'm making a promise publicly here that if I become a manufacturer or business man in Nigeria I will go to Nnewi to find suppliers and partners. 🤜🏽⚡🤛🏾✊🏽👍🏼👌🏽🖖🏽🤙🏽🙌🏽🤝🏽
Why other tribes first!!! Have you ever heard of the word; charity begins at home?? Well, Nnewi people and the Ibo land should first patronize their own certainly, without doubt others and the world will follow. Ask the Japanese and later now the Chinese, if you think I am lying.
gerrald , people choice is respected even by God so depriving choice is lack of vision . Local and international competition brings great motivation to improved and excel
Igbo people are very intelligent and bold in creating things, if Igbo people leave Nigeria for good and become Biafra, they will be richer than many Africa countries.
That is why the powers that be refused to let this happen at all costs. The mere fact alone that Biafra could withstand the Nigerian army (loaded with armament from the West) for 30 months with homemade weapons and no food goes to show how tenacious the Igbo people are.
Wow! Visionaries making money for themselves and creating livelihoods for others despite the broken system. I'm inspired. I love how the man at the end of the video says "luckily I got admitted to Harvard, MIT & Stanford" lol, that's the kind of luck I need.
God bless Ndigbo! Chukwu gozie ndi Anambra!! Chukwu gozie Ndi Nnewi!!! How I wish 3% of Nigerians will buy NIGERIAN products, just as Indians do, Nigeria will be the best and biggest Business Hub in the World.
You may Hate the late Abacha, but he is one leader that believed in the Igbo race. He had wanted electricity to be supplied without interruption to the East and they be given mandate to produce the spare parts for all Nigeria Industries suffering the internationals refusal to sell parts to Nigeria. We were told he opined they make it of Globally Acceptable standard and not the hotherto ibo made. If that had happened, Nigeria would have been on a higher pedestal than this. My present say, if the likes of Innoson can lean towards Rwanda and see how Hybrid and more futuristic Cars can be produced in Nigeria and not the usual import of comatose factories to blind our eyes and produce things being phased out of their countries of origin.
The Igbo's apprenticeship program is the only 'MBA' class in the world that teaches the real intricacies of running a business, the practical application of SWOT and PESTEL analysis. And when you graduate, they'll give you seed capital to start the business. A system that works.
You can only compare and Igbo man with primary school certificate to their counterparts from the west or northern Nigeria with first degree in a university, this's crystal clear, you can go ahead to disagree about it!
@Ant Namdangote is nobody without Obasanjo destroying ibeto cement. Rice and flour businesses thereafter handing sole license for importation of these commodities to dangote. Before Obasanjo coming dangote were nowhere near ibeto. For ur information, nnewi supposedly is a village but boast of uncountable manufacturing industries right there at their on their ancestry lands the major transporters ranging from ekene dili to chidibere and so forth. Hardly no household in that village without a few deep pockets in their fold - too many billionaires. U have heard of "small london" u must have heard it when u were growing up or now as an adult if u are. Small London is a village in abia state called abiriba known for their communal development and deep pockets.
@Ant Nam guy you dey talk trash. Ibeto was manufacturing cement before his license was revoked to aid Dangote. You are talking about richest black people, lemme tell you, igbos have the highest number of middle class and rich people in Nigeria and Africa. When you calculate in ratio, igbos are highest in number compared to any tribe in Nigeria.. Also, Never forget an igbo man was the first Nigerian and African self-made billionaire and that was Ojukwu's father before the civil war. Again, never forget from 1970, after the civil war, 99.9% of all igbo families were poor and started life allover again with just 20pounds coupled with all the oppression and marginalization from government, hatred and negative stereotype from other tribes, yet they made it to this level..talk more of when the are free to play on a fair ground.. under normal circumstances and without government interference, an igbo man would've still been the richest in Nigeria and even beyond..take it or leave it..
@Ant Nam for ur information Dangote was made the richest man in Africa by quarter system....the government had to revoke the license of other people mostly igbos for dangote to excel...check the story of ibeto
Igbo are the clear leader when it comes to entrepreneurship. Unfortunately the government keeps frustrating the efforts of brilliant minds in the country. In the US for example its entrepreneurs that create jobs . Government needs to listen to them and stay out of the way
Yes, ´you guys should expand those industry nationwide ‘ …. With 20£ gift from Nigeria ? While Dangote is given a key to central bank Forex, No import charge, Monopoly of essential commodities etc
The problem of Nigeria is that other tribes hate the Igbos. Mark my word, Nigeria will never become developed until they embrace the Igbos and show them the needed love.
Town with the highest number of millionaires yet the town is dirty, rusty and underdeveloped. Silicon valley is the city with the highest number of millionaires in the United states and it is well developed, technically smart and beautiful. Go figure. Africa don go school.

Anambra state government should beautify the city in order to attract investors.
Or they should invest in a large industrial park in or near the town with access to; the Express ways, training initiatives for blue collar workers, electricity priority, water, a land port for transhipments and anything else needed for success manufacturing.

Not 'If' I become bro. You should say 'When' I become.
Igbos are industrious by nature.
Smart man. God bless your work Mr Innoson
The south east governors have not done enough to boast manufacturing! Kudos to the people of the east, positive spirit, great minds.

Not only in business, also in education and other fields of life. They always aim for the top.

Good job sir, this is good to advertise to encourage the youths especially graduates. The ibos are producers .
AMAZING IGBOS
