My friend, just shut up there! Benin city is a village compared to Asaba, not to talk of Warri. You certainly dont know anything. Benin is still filled with mud houses in 2013. Not just mud houses in the inner roads, but on the major roads like Uselu lagos roads, ekenwan road and Mission road. Benin is a ghost town were people enter into their houses by 7pm in the evening. Please dont even make noise there.

What's this one saying?? The same Benin you say it's filled with mud houses is still the same place your Igbbo brothers run to, to get their daily bread! I'm not even sure, you've visited Asaba, because no normal human being would even compare Asaba to Benin! They are not in the same level! Back in the mid-western state, Benin was still the capital.

How then is the South West different from the South East?

WHile Anambra thats considered the richest SE state has even lower IGR than Osun state

No wonder they would rather die in SW than go home

LoL... Proove it now, that's how u guys keep claiming with 1980 statistics, most educated tribe, yet jamb statistics keep prooving u guys wrong, richest region yet Nigerian bureau of statistics prooves u guys wrong, even ur glorified slum capital(ibadan) cannot be compared to Enugu in dz world.
SHAME

invest-now2013:
Anambra-State IGR i believe is more than that!.It is about 4.1billion a month according to a very reliable source in the corridors of power minus Oil revenue coming on board in 2014.

the recent money -in billions - being thrown around by peter obi makes me to think that you are right.
the question is why the figure is not reflecting in CBN statistics
could someone be stealing the money before it gets to CBN?

btw I really think that these figures being thrown around for anambra is laughable
only onitsha has about 4 million people living there
that town alone can generate more IGR than most states in Nigeria

There are more Multi National Companies in Abia than Anambra

Moreover, I was once a Leader in Nigeria Labour Congress and in a position to know.

it probably does reflect just hasn't been announced to the public yet. you should remember CBN data for Anambra is for 2011 so it's 2012 is Unknown so there is a high possibility of increase. maybe 2013 will give a more accurate figures

You were once a Labour leader yet claim more banks are in Abia than Anambra. These your lies are getting ridiculous by the minute

The bulk of IGR are PAYE and taxes deducted from Source when Civil/Public (Multi National Companies Staffs inclusive) Salaries are paid. The Business people hardly pay substantial tax.

Unilever gives my wife her monthly tax cheque payable to Imo State Govt when she was there as Marketing/Sales Rep.

ok, now it is making more sense. but still anambra has many banks, industries (like juhel pharmaceuticals et al), universities and teaching hospitals like NAUTH, government workers (state and federal), and other schools (polytechs, secondary schools et a).
the figure still falls far short of reality.

Get off this nonsense and stick to your speciality. I am not here to compare States in SE but gave out verifiable info at my disposal.

How many people pay labour (NLC/TUC) dues in Anambra State?

Don't dare quote me again

LoL...is it the osun that I know?
Lemme just tell u sth, ur governors re giving false figures so as to attract investments to there regions.
D only reason y some states in the se don't want to list der original figures is because of the same reason y most of the ppl refused to be counted in the 60's i.e they fear that the FG wud want to take more cash from them, in time they wud release this figures for u d moment the fg grants regional/state autonomy...lol'''till then keep enjoying the fake figures.
How wud u be comparing osun with anambra, when anambra houses 2 of west africa's most popular and large markets,
How wud u be comparing ogun with abia which houses one of Nigeria's most influential market, as for Enugu and Ibadan, if I show u a pic of Enugu after the war, and Ibadan, then show u a pic of Enugu and Ibadan as at now 2013, u wud know that Ibadan is a disgrace to Nigeria. Even ur so called fountain of knowledge Ekiti...lol'''Imo state beats it 3times in education, thankGod for the federal character, if not what happened in 1960 wud have happened again. As for ebonyi, d revenue it gains from its rice production beats ur termite infested cocoa flawless, just pray that Elechi doesn't ever think about going into cocoa production, u guys re gone.

We can see that Akwa Ibom State governor is utilizing his allocations as could be seen in infrastructures what are Bayelsa and Delta states doing with their allocation and IGR?

This is where I come in. I guess both states (Delta and Bayelsa) incurred recurrent expenditure to their paymasters/godfathers! In conclusion, both state governors are as incompetent as Jonathan!

The IGR are Old school figures for sw states, With a change in govt in 2011 for 70% of south west states The Igr of ogun, oyo,ekiti and osun has experienced a massive positive shift this year courtesy of a more dynamic govt

Thank you for your analysis and statistics Ngwakwe
Few things i have observed is how Ebonyi that was flattened some 43 years ago during the uncivil war with their indigenes giving £20 for what ever they had in the bank has overtaken Awolowo's capital of the south west that has seen neither war nor scorched earth economic policies, some few weeks back I was astounded as to how some ignorant folks went about trying to convince people that osun state imaginary gdp is higher than enugu gdp but recent figures have proved other wise.
With the multi billion naira plants of NBL, NBC, Guiness the malting plants, the internally generated revenues from Ariaria, New market, shoe manufacturers, IEA, big transportation businesses, banks, pharmaceutical companies etc , conglomerates like Pz, unilever, SMEs that produce plastics, chemicals, vegetable oil , hotels, ,Abia would definitely trounce all yoruba states excluding Lagos.

How on earth would Osun state with its meagre IGR sustain an international Airport with 3km runway possible the governor is just fooling the gullible osun people and ensuring he has a nearby escape route should things go the wrong way

Why has this thread been deserted by the loud mouths and noise makers.Please clap for Delta 7 times, for putting the whole Western region where they belong.
