This book is recommended to all Igbos and non-Igbos in Nigeria and Diaspora to widen their understanding of what makes an Igbo man what he is." Chief S. N. Okeke OON (Ochendo) B.Sc (LON) FNIVS, FRICS, LLD ..".The book, "Ten Reasons Igbo People Are Rich & Successful Business People" lets out "The Secret of Igbo Economic Power." Without saying so, the book reveals the bases of the problems of Nd'Igbo in Nigeria and in other countries. The Jews understand this story very well - and so do the Berbers... ...The corruption that is fueled by Oil Money, combined with apparent death of conscience in Nigeria, has weakened values, especially the value of hard work. And so Nigeria grows backwards, remaining in the kindergarten, while those that started the development race with her, are far into the tertiary levels. It seems to be the case that as the Igbo remains down politically, so must Nigeria remain down economically. And this is a lesson, easily deducible from, but not advertised in Humphrey Kanayo Akaolisa's book, which every literate Nigerian should take as a must-read " Okwadike Chukwuemeka Ezeife, CON Ph.D Havard (Econs) Garkuwan Fika, Akintolugboye of Egbaland ..".The Igbo creativity and talents in great and successful business enterprises or business management is a good thing which many of us wise Nigerians must learn from.

Chief Gabriel Agada KSJ Chairman, Chida Int'l Hotel The Omachi of Attah Igala This book which is on a class of its own, is a must read for Nd'Igbo and everybody. It is a motivating epistle for all who want to develop and think outside the box. Emeka Igwilo The Igbo has often presented himself as an enigma to the world, his fellow countrymen in Nigeria and sometimes even to himself. The enigma surrounding the Igbo including his origin, worldview, character, wealth, inclinations, etc. had often led to general misunderstanding of this people. The studies of this people from different perspectives seem to hold the key to bringing this people to a better understanding to the world and to himself. The Igbo development of great and successful business enterprises or business oriented minds is only one window to studying the Igbo people. This study is good for the Igbo-man who may cherish the understanding of himself and see a reason to continue to cultivate and advance some of his social endowments consciously, and to others who may want to emulate or learn from this little SECRET of the Igbo people. In this little handbook are so many reasons, summed up in ten points, that make a deep analysis of the forces behind Igbo prowess in business, not just in trade, but whatever is intrinsically called serious business.
