you won't type this trash when your Yoruba brothers are chest beating that they're the richest region in Nigeria. Now the truth is out, you're here comparing Imo and Abia.

Aren't you the same person saying that igbos are not together because they castigate the governors of Imo and Abia? Now you see the difference?

Stop double standards Abeg

Abeg STFU. At least Imo and Abia states in the Red contribute something tangible. Those states in red just require better management that is all. This data suggests nothing more economically and financially.Abeg wetin Anambra dey contribute to commonwealth?

You are the real hypocrite here coz for once you're happy to be in the same league with the Northerners y'all loathe so much. Ndi Ara.

zuchyblink:
It is not about the states and their allocation,rather it is about having productive citizens

Oh, so now Anambra and the Northerner states you all bad-mouth are more productive than Abia, Imo, Bayela and the SW states? See your life. Hypocrite on the loose! Security!!

liberty300:
see talk. Like saying the Chinese are coming to Nigeria because of lack opportunity? Lol, this is exactly the thinking that is making the west backwards. Aren't igbos all over the world doing business? Same with Indians and Germans.

You're a pathetic little fuckboy that know nothing of trade. A gala seller makes 6k a day. Do the math. That's the same salary with a level 10 staff in the federal civil service. Ode

Actually yes, most of those Chinese in Nigeria would rather be abroad to avoid competing with their fellows back in overpopulated China -- #Fact.

Why is that Yee.bo gala seller in the SW to hawk gala,so far from home in alaigbo?

Face it. It's an open secret that your region simply lacks the resources and opportunities to engage her citizens economically. Until that is rectified to stem the brain drain nothing you say here will hold water. #Yinmu.

zuchyblink:

the govt contributes a lot in making the citizens productive ie encouraging education and creating avenues for employment. they have a small population, receiving billions more than states with double their population. now why hasn't their wealth transferred into development. who controls their wealth, the govt.

@invest2013 God bless you for this, I have been a key observer of the economies of Nigerian states I have always known about half the states to be viable.

How abia and imo found themselves in the list of worthless, profligate states is what I do not know.

How to boost the economies of the whole east should be of major concern to our people now.

What's Osun spending 7 billion on, when Anambra and Enugu are spending just 4 billion

Vicotex:
Ndi Imo, You guys should do the needfull to save your asses, kick that Abokee out of douglass house and top the chart along with your brothers

But abia was on the red too?

Too many public institutions in my opinion, the number of state owned tertiary institutions is way too much. Overbloated civil service, and large number of pensioners, i learnt it inherited a lot from the Old Oyo state.

I have been saying this...if not for One Nigeria, yorubas will be worse than Alamajiri.

Abagworo:


Wrong judgement. Imo has free education to University level and pays highest minimum wage so its understandable but States like Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom earning 11billion and 16billion respectively without free education or even much population are the worst.

Simple analysis means that any State earning the average 4 billion would still have 12billion left for capital expenditure if they earned 16billion. Ebonyi State is the surprise State here. Lagos, Rivers and Delta earn high and hence will always have surplus but Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom should have been in that class.

The Northern States top something positive for the 1st time.

Why is imo doing free education?
Is education a problem in imo as much as bad roads are?
Did rochas study economics at all.?
Why is imo not topping the country as it used to, in educational excellence?

Flyoruboy:


Guy, it's only your fellow ignoramus you can hoodwink with this stvpid submission. Why your obsession with Yorubas for God sake? I already rubbished the useless airport traffic stat you are equally touting here on its dedicated thread.

Are Imo and Abia Yoruba or Socialist states too? Does this profile change the fact that some of the states in the "red" contribute more in terms of GDP and revenues to the Nigerian commonwealth than those in the "black", asides Lagos and perhaps Rivers? Most of the Oil producing states aside Rivers and Delta are also in the Red. Context and perspective please. You must really think you're dealing with fools.

So, because delta and Rivers are in red, you are comfortable seeing yours in red too?
Complacency
