omonnakoda: Ibo people always claiming to be the Biggest/best reming me of one girl whose parents never came to visit her at school because they were "diplomats in Germany"
She was always telling us about hols in Berlin,fancy meals etc.
One day her mother came in final year but she was away somewhere. To cut a long story short her mother left after a long wait after being carefully "Interviewed" by mischievous teenagers. She told us of her farm at Umuakpu and told us before leaving to remind her daughter to write and thank the Catholic reverend in their diocese for her scholarship. You will not believe this girl returned and denied her mother said she is her mother's sister but "calls me my daughter".
Ibo !!!

Dont ever think a Company from US will leave the comfort of their environment and come to Nigeria with loans from foreign banks , paying high taxes and being subjected to daily harassment by the Local Nigerian agents if his sole purpose is to expand Nigerian or lagos GDP/economy .

Please can you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_State
i don't have time for un intelligent questions

Biafra rep: you disgust me, ignorant troll. What do you stand to acheive by justaposing SE GDP againt that of the SW? Now let me tell you that I am very much impressed by the performance of SE states, yes, despite lack of federal presence in the SE and Igbos investing heavily in other states of the federation, they still performed well.

Possibly the Wikipedia does have more authority over the Governor and the Commissioner

It will however be extended to other towns such as Oyo, Iseyin and Ogbomosho. The commissioner disclosed further that out of 219 claimants in Ibadan, over 50 have so far appeared before the joint committee for demolition and compensation of obstructing properties.

Governor Ajimobi, while saying that the Ajumose Shuttle was another effort of his administration in making life easier for the people, added that the phase of the transportation scheme was meant only for the workers, while he promised that the remaining 90 buses would take care of the students’ scheme when commissioned.

“This is the first in the scheme that will ease transportation, not only in Ibadan, but also in our other major towns of Oyo, Ogbomoso, Saki and Iseyin. We shall soon introduce other measures that will integrate our public transportation into the ongoing urban renewal project,” he said.

ijawkid: See where bayelsa go dey........I tire for that state..............I expected bayelsa state to be amongst the first five.......foolishness and the inability to engage in endeavors that would increase the gdp of the state is what is killing the leaders of bayelsa..............even with the oil we are almost the last at the bottom of that list.......

This is getting interesting because the foreign media Wikipedia calls Oyo a City where as the Governor and Comminssioner call it a town

Now BBC another Foreign Media Calls Aba a town in a report but the Governor and commissioners and Nigerian Media call it a city

http://www.compassnewspaper.org/index.php/special-desk/property/4628-aba-renewing-a-neglected-commercial-city-through-infrastructure
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/between-nwakanma-abia-govt-and-aba-city/


However a comparison of the 3 places

Aba comprises of 2 LGAs and has a international stadium that has hosted world class matches , hosting high profile teams from Egypt , Tunisia , Congo , Cameroon, Khartoum.
Awka is a state Capital and has hosted International diplomats, Business men,Awka parades 2 Universities and world class pharmaceutical industry Juhel Pharmacy among other businesses and 2 universities

Oyo simply put does not even have a stadium just 1 Ajayi Crowther Uni .

Aba has been able to attract Multi billion Naira investment in power , Beverage , Manufacturing, textile e.t.c
Oyo's only investment seems to be farms . Aba also parades many higher institutions

Please can you enlighten me on why or how Oyo is a city

i could go on and keep comparing but for time . I have traveled to the 3 places Oyo , Awka and Aba.
Possibly by Yoruba Standard Oyo could be promoted to a City

What about Igbo parts of Rivers and Delta?
Don't go there.

seunfly:
Although i don't want to join u peaple in all this tribal and ethnic supremacy, but i will like to enlighten u peaple about certain things
1) Nigeria get her GDP majorly from agriculture (wikipedia , ministry of finance or CBN will tell u that) and all this SW state are very strong in Agriculture. Infact Ogun, Oyo and Osun have significant numbers of first class commercial farms such as Ajanla(chi), Zaltech, Dezengof, Odunola, Tuns, Eleganza, Eagle farm etc that u don't know about.
2) Some of those state are highly industrialised atleast to Nigerian standard infact Ogun and Oyo state are highly industrailised, Ogun now house most of the high profile companies in Nigeria most of them have relocated to Ogun state. So for the fact the peaple don't know Ibadan or Ogun like Aba, nnewi or Onisha does not means that nothing is going on.
3) GDP does not mean direct wealth to the peaple, but what can peaple make of it. Atleast Egypt GDP is less than Nigeria but they may better than Nigerians.
@kettykin well i like ur analysis but u forgot to say that what proter and gamble is producing in Nigeria only two companies can stop u 4rm using it which are Unilever and Rekkit bekiser also akau ibom has potential to even chalenge Lagos if all those things u mentioned has start funtioning but most of them are either proposed, underconstruction or just commisioned which will not give them the Gdp u want them to have right now.
Also project Calabar trough tinapa and Obudu would have increased the gdp of the state if it was well managed.
Lastly aba, nnewi and onisha can be another phenomenal project in Nigeria had the state have governors like donald duke or bussines minded governor like fashola who will secure free trade zone and foriegn investment in those area.
All this LFTZ and Osun free trade zone would have worked better in Onisha and aba that are natural trade zones but the governors could not see that.
Overall what has Osun gdp benefited me that i will ridicule Yobe or what makes someone from Rivers state better tha me, that will make me to envy rivers gdp. In all we are all Nigerian and we are in it together.

He thinks the Igbo are solely in the South East. Forgetting our brethren, the Delta Igbo as well as the Riverine Igbos.

ngozievergreen: Una still dey for dis topic?.....
And y are some negative ppl quoting my post like i said anything surprising?
Whether its a good thing or bad thing, Sw GDP is from foreigners, FG and igbos. Na today una jus dey hear am? Haba...... How many of d industries in SW are owned by yorubas?
Same tnz for north. SE is completely exclusive, independent on its own.
If bigotic talk is d purpose of this thread, then we shd be concerned with who makes the GDP not where its generated. Even at dat, 3 igbo states are in top - Imo, Delta n Rivers
