This book is about an aspect of the rich culture of Igbo people of Southern Nigeria. The book serves a dual purpose, as history on one hand and as a deep and intensive study of the Igbo people with the view of helping to understand this people on the other. It is well known in Nigeria that the Igbo man has being greatly misunderstood by other Nigerians. This lack of understanding of the Igbo has led to hatred and great mishaps including the civil war of 1967-1970 in which the rest of Nigeria teamed up against the Igbo. The civil war was seen from certain angles as a movement towards a balance of power because the Igbo was becoming too powerful in the Nigerian polity. With economy at the basis of Igbo power, it was no surprise how they could easily rise in intellectual and political power and to become imperial in a country that has over 250 ethnic nationalities.It suffices to say that Nigeria, including the Igbo-man may have gone the wrong direction in placing politics ahead of economics in the scale of preference. Perhaps that is why Nigeria has gone so fast down the drain. Every ethnic nationality in Nigeria has her own strong and weak traits. It is not by accident that these nationalities of talents and human resources were brought together, but a Divine design. Such potentials like the Igbo high business initiatives are qualities Nigerian anthropologist would have delved deeply into studying and analyzing with the view of exploiting them for the good of Nigeria. It is not by accident that Igbo people produced many economists and mathematicians of World repute and it would be great if Nigeria could develop and export these qualities to the world.This book, 10 reasons Igbo people are rich and successful business people really contains very many secret about the Igbo development and sustenance of significant economic power, not just in Nigeria but all over the world. The book indeed offers very great insight into the Igbo business prowess in a way that should interest every Igbo-man that would want to understand what he may have doing ignorantly and to the world that should learn some lessons from it.
