like seriously, did somebody just compare Anambra's economy to Oyo state's?
Seriously, some Swesterners need to braoden their territorial horizon, OYO state can never compete with a state like Anambra in the Area of commerce and economy, this one no be wash o. Leave such comparisons for places like Lagos and may be Kano, OYO does not come any close at all.
I have been to many SW states, seriously, they are acient in looks and arrangement. They have got Nothing on Eastern states from Owerri, Enugu, Umuohia, Awka even Onitsha, all boast of better astethic and pristin looks than Oyo, Oshogbo, Abeokuta and co. . . Yes that is a statement of fact. Sw states look too unkempt and rowdy to even begin to boast of beauty and asthetics.

This thread just degenerated to the lowest level of tribe bashing! Trace the cause and see, someone expressed an opinion contrary to OP, and mayhem was unleashed on him. In comes the tribal warlords and down goes the thread!

na lie, omo Igbo nie, get the fvck out of the west and get your butt down to your erosion ridden kidnappers dungeon.

b'cos he had a contrary opinion, which he is entitled to, u tag him 'Igbo' and rained insults on him.
I was expecting to learn a thing or two in this thread, but the direction it headed after ur uncouth comment leaves much to be desired.
I'm out. Nanscence!

Abagworo:


When someone first tried to tribalise this thread, I warned him. If a Yoruba PDP member tries to rubbish ACN's achievements it does not in any way warrant calling out Igbos. The reason why most Yorubas on Nairaland assume Igboland to be less developed is because they've not been there and again because of the wrong use of this medium by some people to lay complaints and hence show only the negative part. Most of the cities in the SW are quite ancient and has clusters of mud houses with rusty roof but the only thing SE cities lack is good roads and repainting of old houses. Places like Enugu, Owerri and Umuahia are quite beautiful and not to be compared with any city in the SW. I'm in Osogbo at the moment.

That nuisance chino is now Yoruba right. Who else is not Yoruba on NL? Is claiming Yoruba the new fad? Please keep your rubbish to yourself...

queensmith: I even want to know where these GDP figures and stats are coming from, and if you people arent just trying to measure states by the number of tall painted buildings it has. . . . . . .

On education, immunizations for children, and all the indicies that actually matter Anambra is much better. What good is GDP if you have an illiterate population? High infant mortality?

Anambra's literacy among women is one of the highest in Nigeria. You learn a hell of a lot about a population from how women are doing.

Those stats can be found on the BBC website which was tabulated by WB and UN.

DayoKanu you should be more intelligent than this. You want to argue about states' GDP based on the nonsensical and partisan list posted by some anonymous Dude prolly from the southwest or even Oyo State.
The claims of the list are very laughable and unworthy of any serious intellectual analysis.
What was their criteria and what data were available to them to come to such conclusions that does not reflect the reality on ground.
Wikipedia of all places na im be the basis of your claims. . .lol. . Guy I can go to that wikipaedia page and edit that list to my taste, Bullcrap. It will take OYO state a life time to control the kind of money that Anambra controls, na where OyO state wan start? Is it in terms of commerce or industries? Most of what Oyo state boasts of today are redundant investments with little or no life at all. By the way, the federal goverment just started the computation of states' GDP in this 2012 so where is your fabricated list coming from? Perhaps one mischievious Yoruba man in Ibadan with big dreams. Scheeeew

However, is Anambra better than Oyo state - yes, or no??

Nigerian education is irrelevant because the standard appalling!

I cant believe the way these people a screaming GDP as though its what matters

China's GDP is bigger than Japan's are we now going to honestly say China beats Japan on living standards? Or quality of life?

Oyo state made the list of top 10 African cities to watch out for - where was Anambra on that list??

You lot need to get a life and allow the dyck waving contest... Jheez!!

However, China's population is like 100 times the population of Japan....

Do the maths and see why the standard of living in Japan is better than China - that's just common sense!

shymexx:

On female literacy. Yes.
On number of children who receive life saving immunizations before five years old. Yes.

According to the BBC stats Lagos, Rivers, and Abuja have real wealth to talk about.

Better is figurative in my opinion, each state offers different things that suit certain needs.

What does populatiom have to do with anything.

America has more people than Nigeria and has a better quality of life several times over.

Is it anyone's fault the America thinks investing in its citizens is worthwhile?

Unlike Nigeria, China's HDI will continue to get better because they are actually doing something about it. While you dummies argue about two poor states in an equally poor country.

Even poor as dirt Ethiopia will meet MDG set by the UN before Nigeria with Africa's second largest population.

Excuses...

However, can we use the standard of education in Nigeria to judge that? Albeit the difference between the two states in terms of female literacy is not really that much, anyway... Oyo's GDP on the other hand is more than twice the GDP of Anambra...

dayokanu:

I did all I found were Nairaland and wikipaedia claims, no serious government agencies, no reputable international Organization with expertise on such matters, just wiki and some anonymous websites including NL. . .what a joke. Onitsha alone controls more money than the whole of Oyo state not to talk of Nnewi and other industrialized parts of Anambra.

What kind of argument is that? We can count one stat that favors me but not the one that favors someone else. Its a big difference by the way Anambra is pushing about 90%+ with female literacy which is very important considering most populations are majority female.

So what about GDP? With all this extra money why is education attainment better in the "poor" SE then?

You compared the GDPs of the countries against their standard of living and I cited why the standard of living in Japan is better than China... GDP per capita in china is $8,382 and Japan is $46,895... So common sense should be able to tell you why the standard of living in Japan is better than China!!

Check this stats from the government here. I can help you with some extract

Oyo state Poverty 51.8% Unemployment 8.9%
Osun State Poverty 37.9% Unemployment 3%
Ogun State Poverty 62.3% Unemployment 22.9%
Ondo State Poverty 45.7% Unemployment 12.5%

Imo State Poverty 50.5% Unemployment 26.1%
Abia State Poverty 57.4% Unemployment 11.2%
Ebonyi State Poverty 73.6% Unemployment 23.1%

http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/information

Osun Oyo and Lagos State have Unemployment under 10 % and Only Ogun State have over 20%. No single Igbo state has Unemployment under 10% actually 3 of them have over 20%

In terms of Poverty Lagos, Osun and Ondo have Poverty under 50% , While No single Igbo state have Poverty under 50% Ebonyi has almost 3/4 of the people living in abject poverty

Who cares?? With the 90% female literacy level(Nigerian education loooool), what have they achieved?? The most important thing is the GDP and the creation of wealth - and Oyo state has a higher GDP than Anambra...

Oyo has a higher GDP, Lower poverty and lower unemployment than Anambra.

Let them show us any index that places Anambra ahead of Oyo. I am sure they would come and tell us the govt provided stat is also faulty but ask them how they know Anambra is better than Oyo and they would say "My uncle told me so" or "I can see it"

The standard of living has nothing to do with GDP.

The US GDP is larger than Norway but quality of life is higher in the latter.

You don't want to answer the rest because your bs cant explain away fact and actual truth.

GDP in Nigeria is higher than Ethiopia's so why the hell when it comes to infant mortality their rates have gone down while Nigeria's are some of the highest in the world?

You folks try to bs everyone and everything wheb the real joke is on you.

Let it be the next state to watch. No one will take you seriously if you have a populatiom dumb as a rock and children dying before they can walk.

Cuba that has embargoes up the a.s.s has better HDI than Nigeria and is poor what da fuq is that
