geeez: Can we see recent pictures of this Shoprite in Enugu?

It's always scanty now and I wonder why they keep brandishing opening day pictures

The poverty makes Shoprite in Enugu inaccessible to people

They only go there to window shop

I visit the Polo Park when I'm in Enugu and there are few cars parked even on weekends

hahahahahahahaha.
u so wish.
Are u talking of d same shoprite i just came back from, rite now?
Dis post is just typical of ur legendary, wishful thinking for SE.
Ibadan shoprite is d failed one, not enugu.
And they have even removed ibadan from their newest pamphlet.
U know wat that means?
Poverty stricken ppl.

Mention one prominent person that is not Igbo living in Enugu? Prof. Tam David West, a Niger Deltan stays in Bodija, Ibadan.

sorry, almajirism is not welcomed in Enugu.
All ur ppl are almajiris in one way or d other : prominent or not prominent.
U cant survive in a region where almajirism doesnt pay.

@ dayokanu, Stop showing me pix of buildings as ibadan, cos if we start doing building tnz for both states u will silently back off.
D only fine houses in ibadan are public buildings.
And those roads u showed are just objects of jokes to Enugu.

U ppl dont have up to 10 percent of ur GDP and u have d guts to paste public buildings.
Just show us dose mud houses plastered with cement and u will be glad u are showing us d pix of d ibadan we all know.

You have dust as brain....

Your Enugu is unwelcoming to other Nigerians, that is why you hardly find any other known names there. That is suppose to be your regional capital that should attract other Nigerians....

Enugu is a dead civil servant state ....

GDP of Oyo is bigger dan dat of Enugu.
However, oyo is d shameful state because:
the GDP is predominantly made by foreign companies while d citizens are poor.
Even wih d GDP, Ibadan remains a huge slum.
2) enugu with a smaller GDP is finer, more of wat u call a city, etc.
The citizens are more affluent and run indigenous indstries n oda enterprises- which means they make their own GDP.
.
Hahaha, see dis guy o. Do u think that even as oyo GDP is bigger dan dat of Kano, kano city is worse of a capital dan ibadan?
If not for d northern crises, ppl will prefer kano anytime anyday to staying in dat slum called ibadan.

i tot u said u came to enugu or werent u d person.
Anybody dat said enugu is only a civil servant state has not been there at all.
Infact, from now onwards, anything u say is out of assumptions.
Enugu has its own fair share of commerce,even though it aint lyk onitsha Oboloafor(in nsukka) is a site of entreport btw northern and SE/SS Nigeria; the city itself has many commercial outfit- markets, malls.
- industries though not much as in aba n nnewi.
- the city serves tourist functions ranging from d natural scenery to the museum, parks, the array of fine BUILDINGS alone ( which ibadan shamefully lacks,yet its ur capital)etc.
- with hotels and clubs springing up here and there, Enugu is an entertainment city.
Igbo sons and daughters ( after hustling in many oda cities) troop to Enugu and Owerri(anoda city with d comeliness of enugu) for relaxation and enjoyment esp in d weekends.
- having many tertiary institutions, Enugu is just hot city.
.
How can u put it to me dat Enugu is a civil servant area like dose ur SW dead towns.
Have u seen that joke called ibadan?

yes enugu is a civil servant state, bt our non-capital (aba and onitsha) industrial cities flogged ur capital city ibadan(africa largest slum) commercially and industrially.

It is very funny and illogical how the reasoning of some people can be, Osun and Oyo with their very big budget and high GDP cannot sustain a domestic airport while Enugu which some oluwole statisticians claim has a lower GDP has the 4th busiest domestic Airport the most recent and fourth busiest international Airport in the country, if airport traffic and financial transactions can not convince anybody then someone education should be questioned

If you have any common sense you should ask why People in Oyo State need any airport when an International airport is just about an hour drive from Ibadan

Or they should just build an airport just to prove what exactly?

Since you started this thread, why are you avoiding and shying away from relevant questions being asked of you especially those based on the comments you made or the content of your uploaded documents?

Is there something inside of you you are hiding that you don't want people to see as the main reason for starting this thread?

What is the lie that you have cleared? and how have you cleared the so-called lie?

We are not in nursery school where you will draw out 2 numbers and ask/indicate we have seen the numbers....again, what inference is there that you have drawn?

If you are not a coward, grin answer all the questions you have been shying (cowarding lol) away from....

But it is logical to believe you pay from abundance. There was a reason many yorubas saw serving in port harcourt like winning a us visa lottery until Amaechi drove all of them to classrooms.

See how you reason, like a child. When have the allowances given to corpers become a yardstick for measuring a state's wealth? Would you then say Enugu State, paying corpers 10k, is richer than Delta State, paying corpers 5k?

u must be a fool 2 hv taken dat as a criterion, its jst an instance, y do u people find it difficult 2 absorb words and reason beyond it. If u checkout the list of nigerian states by GDP:
1. Lagos
2. Rivers
3. Delta
4. Oyo
5. Imo
Oyo pay corpers the least amount, is it nt a shame? Most other states below pay beta dan oyo state, so where is the money? The problem is GDP per capita, oyo is nt 1 of the richest states in nigeria. Wealth is based on GDP per capita, based on that these are the rich states in nigeria:
1. Delta
Overall GDP: 16.75 Billion

Per capita:$3,990

2. Rivers

Overal GDP $21.07 billion
Per capita :$3965

3. Lagos

Overall GDP: $74.68 billion
Per capita: $3649

4. Edo

Overall GDP: $11.89 billion

Per capita: $3623

5. Imo
Overall GDP $14.21 Billion
per capita: $3,527


6. Cross River

GDP $9.29 billion
Per capita: $3150

7. Abia

Overal GDP: $18.69 billion
Per capita $3003

This are the state wt the largest GDP:

That's why Enugu is an urban center unlike Ibadan a rural center where money has little value.Its same for Lagos, Ph, New york, Abuja, London. Comparing Ibadan and Enugu is like comparing death and sleep.
Re: Enugu Is One Of The Poorest States In Nigeria. by kettykin: 8:35am On Sep 17, 2013
f you had checked you would have realised that ibadan has an airport with big enough run way but records very minimal appalling, dissappointing and disgraceful domestic flights despite its claims of being the largest city or slum in Africa , having the 5th biggest economy im Nigeria, the domestic airport traffic of ibadan airport is more appalling than the dismal sales figures of shop rite in ibadan.
Enugu is about 1hour from port Harcourt which has an international airport about 45 minutes from imo airport and about an hour from Asaba airport but Enugu international airport traffic is consistent and regular while the domestic flights are 10000 times better than the ibadan domestic flights
You that has common sense should have realised that there is a correlation between the airport traffic and GDP or Economic growth
