Your lie of a link is a 2012 report. Mine is 2013 and Osun State has the lowest unemployment rate
there's nobody alive that is going to ever compare the economic prowess of Anambra state to that of Osun state lol. It's not because of the internet that you'll start making up nonsense. Unless you're aregbesola's daughter, idk what you're thinking comparing the two. Date or not.



El-Rufai Was Wrong On Anambra, Says FG
"National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) shows that Anambra State has an unemployment rate of between 10 per cent and 11 per cent which is about that of the United States of America and less than Greece which is about 25 per cent."

Osun has lowest unemployment rate in Nigeria – Aregbesola


Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola has declared that the state out of thirty-six states in the federation has the lowest rate of unemployed people, particularly among her teeming youths due to the determination of the present administration in the state to banish poverty and unemployment among its people.

This is my problem with Yorubas. They just sit at home and declare themselves best in this, best in that. Even Aregbesola declares his state one with the least unemployment rate without consulting the Bureau of Statistics whose duty he usurped. Rubbish stats from a dishonest governor!

I am neither from SE or SW, for from SE to be saying Enugu state is more developed than Oyo state is amusing, as I said earlier in a post, I have worked in both states, I can state here that though Enugu city may look more beautiful and serene than Ibadan, we must understand that Ibadan is a very large city compare to Enugu and there are some parts of Ibadan that are more beautiful than Enugu. The number of industries and conglomerates operating in Ibadan is far more than that of Enugu, so you expect more economic activities in Ibadan and high GDP than Enugu.

you're 100% right. I wouldn't have a single problem with them in the world except this.
Everyone is relaxing and enjoying their day and they come with this thread declaring Enugu poor so that they can say they are the richest, mind you they are in their own father's state paying rent to an igbo landlord.

Instead of making their place better they will just declare it's the best with no facts and begin attacking everywhere else with noise.

Enugu is adding an airport, golf and lifestyle village, mall, amusement park, centralized busing system using indigenous cars, CCTV, vehicular police unit, the largest library in west africa, and road/bridge projects that are unrivalled..with one of the lowest allocations of all nigerian states.

wtf is any state in the SW except Lagos doing? Honestly. Ipon imo? that pointless flyover in Ibadan that leads to nowhere?
You want to compare free education in Imo state to Ipon Imo?

Figure it out yourself. There is an air-strip in Ibadam but it is hardly known by anybody outside SW. Why is that? All the Yoruba elites lives in Lagos instead of their states..why is that? All the Yorubas left their states to rot and went to Lagos..why is that? Was Lagos developed by Yorubas?

In the SE development is evenly spread from Enugu, Onitsha, Owerri, PH, etc it is even and wide development.

Enugu State is as unsafe as any state in the South East. In the South West we hardly experience insecurity like kidnapping. The only time it was reported in Osun State, when the Speaker's wife was kidnapped, it was Igbo boys that kidnapped her. They were arrested in Ogun State by a local vigilantee group and she was released.
While in the South West, I saw highly placed people walking freely without escort. I have seen the former VC of Osun State University, Prof. Sola Akinrinade driving himself. Just last week I saw the elder sister of Governor Segun Mimiko of Ondo State, Prof. Joke Bestman walking freely in Ile-Ife. Can this happen in the South East where a VC with security was kidnapped?

Your comment is the reason I created this thread.

For some strange reason, people from the SE are obsessed with telling lies. They make ridiculous claims, and most people just laugh.
If no one exposes these lies, they start to spread as though they are the truth.

This "Enugu is richer and more developed than every SW state except Lagos" lie is very, very, new. It is time to expose it with facts, so that we can kill it early.


The problem with youroba people is that dey don't travel round.
I served in state electricity board near government house in Ekiti state ADO town, I know osun state well, I know ekiti state well, I know ogun state well.

The GDP of Oyo for 2012 is higher than that of any state in the SE. The GDP of Osun is the same with Imo and Anambra which are the highest in the SE (see below). These are the latest figures from a credible agency and not that 2010 GDP post that has been recycled over and over.

From the report I have for Q1 2013, Ogun State has a higher GDP with the highest in the SE which means the three SW states of Lagos, Oyo and Ogun have higher GDPs than that of any state in the SE and if Osun State were in the SE, its GDP for Q1 2013 will be the second highest
