I love that #EBEANO Supermarket is thinking globally, beyond Nigeria. This is the mindset I hope more of us cultivate - to build excellent brands locally and then expand them internationally.

EBEANO Supermarket🛒 is currently in Canada in the city of St Catharines, and growing.
#EBEANO_Supermarket:

"We are a global food market in Canada. Our goal is to meet the grocery needs of all cultures.

Location: 358, 360 Ontario Str. Unit 3 & 4, St. Catharines, ON L2R 5L8

Building global brands, esp in the food space would expand our local agro-food sector=FX$
There's so much to learn from other groups about building shared prosperity. Let's think beyond silo diaspora remittances.

E.g Lessons from the Indians, Italians, Persians, Chinese, Jews... They have been intentional in building economic power & investing in their home countries
IGWEBUIKE ANYI. Now more than ever, home+abroad, we must think & act collectively, and dream bigger than we've ever done if we are to transform Alaigbo in all sectors - Agriculture, Tech, Health, Tourism, Education, Creative industry Infrastructure, Human Rights, Institutions etc
Umunne'm, for every container we import into 🇳🇬, let us also produce/process/package agro-foods and manufacturer quality goods that we EXPORT abroad and earn FX. Pay attention to our balance of trade, move from consumption to production and shared prosperity. #Aba #Enugu #Nnewi..
And our "EXPORT" should also extend to SKILLS & SERVICES. Ndi Igbo, let us become very intentional about investing in human capital and in emigration for study and work. E.g Learn from the Taiwan, Indian, Chinese & UAE examples.

Design MSLEx
Brain Drain ↔️Brain Gain;
Japa↔️Nata
One of the easiest and most effective ways to attract_open up investments and tourism is to invest in quality educational institutions in a very strategic and holistic way, that links them to industries/private sector, govt, rural/urban cottage industries and the marketplace F/I
"Innoson vehicle manufacturing (IVM) is the first Nigerian indigenous car manufacturing company whose vehicles are known for top-notch quality and are regarded as “the pride of African Roads.”

Umunnem,
What IF every household & Govt depts committed to buying cars from Innoson?
I am very excited about the upcoming era of Alex Otti as Governor of Abia...

Aba holds so much potential and promise. The people are creative, resilient & enterprising. With the right govt policies and infrastructure, the manufacturing sector will take off!

Aba to the world!!
The End/

Umunne'm, transforming Alaigbo means putting our money where our mouths/hearts are. It means patronizing business located in Alaigbo, it means our collaborating with govt to invest in our security/schools/hospitals - these are the core of productivity & creativity..🙏

Pls, from my perspective o, Nigerian immigrants in Canada 30 or 50 years ago, are quite different from the Immigrants today. Today, many are collaborating and building enterprises together. They invest/partner in real estate, food sector, education, tech, cooperatives, trade etc.
There are more and more international students from Nigeria and other African countries coming to Canada. And with the relatively friendly immigration policies and job opportunities & support for Entrepreneurship, many are quickly earning well after graduating=more opportunities.
E.g There's a strong demographic of Northerners in the GTA doing awesome/cool work in the commodities/trade sector, there are young Nigerians doing good work in Real Estate, Women collaborating in the agro/food space...Change the old narrative that we don't collaborate. NOT true!

PDP is a scourge to Alaigbo, specifically in Abia & Enugu State. If we are to have good governance, accountability and development, we must uproot PDP. The same group of corrupt cabals have held us hostage since 19gbiridim. Our fellow ndi Igbo. Muọ nsọ ka akpọ unu ncha ọku!!
There comes a time in the life of a people when we draw a clear line in the sand, and stand up to reclaim our dignity and destiny.

The like of Okezie Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, Nnamani, Peter Mba, and all the PDP "big shots" in Abia and Enugu hiding in the shadows should be called out!
For years, PDP has brazenly rigged its way to power in SE & many citizens simply looked on helplessly. NEVER AGAIN! If we allow the travesty of Obingwa and Nkanu East, and the thuggery/violence/abuse of power by PDP feudal lords and their thugs, they will be even more emboldened!

Today's duas, prayers, meditations, psalms, mass intentions are for @alexottiofr Governor-elect of Abia

Biko nwannem, a lot's riding on your shoulders. Alaigbo needs exemplary Leaders. Do NOT disappoint like Soludo. FOCUS & Invest in world-class infrastructure & HCD
Biko nu umunnem Ndi Igbo all across the world, against the backdrop of the clear existential threats we face, it is time for us to become more strategic & intentional in investing in/transforming Alaigbo. We need our best minds/hands to get involved, we cannot continue like this!
Umunnem, There's nothing happening in 🇳🇬 today that's new. The ugly truths bared starkly in these past few months of elections are Iterations of what have always been. We cannot keep pretending or wishing these things away. The question now is, how do we pragmatically address it?

BUILD world-class Institutions & Infrastructure in Alaigbo - Schools (ECE to Post-Secondary), Modern Markets/Malls, Hospitals, Recreation Parks, Museums, Entertainment Studios, Technology, Hotels, Roads,.

Prioritize & Invest in Human Capital Development.

Ka Anyi Dozie Alaigbo.
Begin with the foundation - Let us agree/act as a ONE - EVERY CHILD in our community/neighbourhood in Alaigbo, and everywhere we live, must have access to QUALITY, ACCESSIBLE, EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE EDUCATION.

Let us implement the CRA fully, and invest in TEACHERS/EDUCATION/STEAM.
Localize the #SDGs2030 and use it as a framework for development in our region. Let us have clear short term, mid term and long term goals for our region, and work collectively to achieve them in all 95 LGA in South East.

Onye kwe, chi ya ekwe! What is our vision for SE by 2050?

Peter "Okwute" Obi has reset the Nigerian Political trajectory. He empowers youth to take back their nation. He's become a true light & salt of the land. His values-based politics anchored on 4Cs have made dangerous & wicked bigots/bullies unravel in different sections of Nigeria Image
@ChimarokeNamani A few months ago, when you were positioning to be Atiku's VP, & later SP under BAT, I pointed out the need for Igbo political elite to retrace their steps & transform the region or face the wrath of Youth. Unprovoked, your hurled vitriol at me & even at Peter Obi
@ChimarokeNamani You insulted @EzeasorIje @Ifechideere & many others who simply held you and other badly-behaving Igbo politicians accountable. You taunted the youth and dared them to go out and vote you out if they could. And they've taken your suggestion and done exactly this👊

Perhaps, I'm in the minority but I'm now really 'glad' PDP did what it did to Obi and Atiku ran. I'm 'glad' BAT ran a Muslim-Muslim ticket. I'm 'glad' that tribalists/bigots are unhinged & after GRV...Why?

We can't fix what is hidden in the shadows. Bring them all to the light!
I'm very 'glad' the rigging and violence is so stark and irrefutable, I'm glad that the derision against Obi moving to LP/the Obidient movement was so loud by the establishment.

Let everything rotten be unmasked under the glare of light. Only what is acknowledged can be FIXED.
I'm 'glad' many influencers who held themselves as demi-gods unraveled, and everyday citizen took over the narrative on/off social media. I'm glad political "godpapa/mama" were demystified

To get to heaven, we must first "die." Make everything yakata, then we can rebuild better.
