mr man, what other places in kwara state apart from Ilorin and offa are developed? Or it isn't in the north central. And besides what is the contribution of the anioma people of delta north senatorial district? Why you guys always lay claim to the developement of other regions why yours is just like a cave?

Nigeria gets most of her GDP from Agriculture.

The largest mechanized farms are in the SW.

NOW I SEE YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF GDP.

All you do is import,buying and selling no production.

That is the problem with some of these easterners, they think retail shops contribute anything to GDP. Because Igbos own shops by the road sides have now amounted to them contributing to the GDP.
A single farm that actually creates value and provide jobs is better than a million shop keepers.

omonnakoda: Ibo people always claiming to be the Biggest/best reminds 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 !!!
Story story story, once upon a time ........

These Igbos don't even know the meaning of GDP.

They don't even know the Nigeria still export agriculture products worth Millions of dollars.

All the think is their petty trading.

No wonder FASHOLA WANTS THEM TO LEAVE LAGOS.
Most these petty traders don't have any Tax record.

The fight should be how Nigerians in the diaspora can get votes and contribute more, not fighting
between tribes or states. Everyone contributes, but at different levels. Here in the USA, states like California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Ohio contribute hugely to the GDP compared to North & South Dakota, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa, Vermont, etc. The important thing is everyone is contributing.
Everyone's goal should be to grow the economy and the GDP.

Believe you me, Igbos are fast taking over Nigeria and they control over 1/3 of the economy of most states across the country, from the biggest towns to the remote villages. Despite the civil war of 1967-1970 that destroyed the SE, the seizure of their assets both cash and properties and the subsequent indeginisation decree of Awolowo that followed afterwards when Nigeria's formal sector was cunningly sold to the Yorubas at give away prices. In just about 40 years of these total emasculation, the Igbos have clawed themselves back to the top from ground zero! Give it to the Igbos, they aint stopping us!

My brother travel and become exposed, Nigeria does not start and end with Ogbomoso! In terms of Agriculture, SE is not lagging behind, in fact we are the food basket of Southern Nigeria. It is on record that Ebonyi state produces more rice than the whole SW. in terms of livestock, there are many large poultry farms in Enugu, when when frozen chicken/Turkey were banned, many traders were coming all the way from P.H, Aba, Onitsha etc to buy poultry products at industrial scale from these farms. palm oil and its allied products are still produced all over Igboland, a small percentage is exported while some are transported to the north. Cassava, Cashew, Cocoa, Rubber etc are still produced in commercial quantities all over Igboland. Again FYI Nigeria is a consumer economy and any body who controls the supply Chane, controls the economy, though it is called informal economy but that is were the bulk of our GDP comes from, if in doubt you can ask your brother Olusegun Aganga.

dont mix things things up here, there is a difference btw foreign direct investment and GDP.


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 .

Definitely you don't know what GDP means - Gross DOMESTIC PRODUCT !! It has nothing to do with retailing of imported goods.
The biggest poultries in the country is in Ibadan, most agric instituites in the country is in ibadan as well.

Another fact is that most of he remittance from overseas is coming from the southwest as well.take a flight outside nigeria in the direction of Europe ,America , Canada ,Australia . The chances are that most of the people on that flight are yorubas. At times, it seems most of my Home town has relocated and I know that they are all serial remitters

Not True Zartech in Ibadan have the most modern and Largest in the country.When Obasanjo was in power they were so much of a threat to him he targetted them using immigration(it is run by Lebanese) . Luckily for them they held Nigerian passports and survived. At the moment Zartech supplies at least 30% of Chicken to caterers in PH.

What pains me most is that our country does not appreciate us despite the great contributions from Nigerians in Diaspora to the economy. Our embassies are almost useless to us. They treat us like they don't care. They can't even defend us when we are being treated unfairly by the Europeans. Abeg eee

who are you guys ? Are you crazy have I engaged you on the Igbo Yoruba thing? I do not care whether it is little green men from mars making up the GDP>I am talking about Chicken and the largest producing state in Nigeria. I do not need to go to Jos. The Largest producer of poultry for the catering industry in Nigeria today is Zartech.
Talk to your friends about the Igbo Yoruba thing you should know each other well by now.
Since your guys are so enterprising why not take it back home. What exactly is the problem,angry gods?
