The revenue generation tilts more to the southwest cos of the presence of the nation's seaports. Establish ports in the SS and see all this stats balancing.
The proximity of businesses close to ports is a major factor here. Check the revenues of those farther from the seaports and you'll understand perfectly.

TheArchangel:
and all those money are generated by only Yorubas, right
At least, I can boldly say without mincing words that the 49b from the SE was generated by IGBOS. Can you say same of SW and then other regions in Nigeria. Can you be bold enough to say that my people generated this amount without the help of non-indigenous people of the land.?

If we are to hold the view that Lagos state economy is being dictated by the igbos, then we must remove lagos state out of the stat, which then brings souht west down to an equal level with south east ( 5 - 5 states).
However, if we are to deduct lagos state's N302,425,091,969 from the total south west IGR N414,847,500,567 then we will be having roughly about N110...,...,..., which still EXCEEDS the total south east IGR N49,934,646,220.
My point is: even without lagos state, south west still beats south east in terms of IGR.
I fink it is high time my igbo brothers acknowledge the fact that Performane and noise making are two parallel lines
i stand to be corrected in my calculation.

Please note that economic activities in the north-east has suffered greatly from the war against Boko Haram. Another thing that is clear from this statistics is that every region in Nigeria depends on oil from the Niger Delta. It is not as if they can't work harder to survive without oil money, but if you compare what they're generating currently to what they're receiving in federation account allocation, then you would understand why they're so lazy.
.
Another thing from the statistics is that the South-West is the only region in Nigeria that can survive right now no matter what happens in the oil industry. Funny enough, they're also the only region making the least noise and focusing completely on development. No wonder the economy of the country is controlled by individuals from that region.
.
Another thing to point out from this statistics is that the south-east has no superiority claim over the north. It is pure wickedness for those who clamour for Biafra to watch the economy of that region suffer while they preach about what would've been if they had their pipe dream. Why have all those who are promising to make Biafra heaven on earth not coming up with those ideas to improve the IGR of the south-eastern states, so as to at least improve the living condition of the people living there? Look at Lagos, look at Ogun, look at Kano, look at Rivers State and the high IGR they all command... Igbos are one of the biggest contributors to those IGRs, not by force but by choice, and they do so by freely associating with people from those regions. But Ogun State alone generates more revenue than all the south-eastern states combined, which means that on the strength of this statistics, it is arguable that the Igbos do better by associating with other people, and will perform woefully by staying on their own.

Is this your write up about biafra or what? Well i noticed you mentioned boko's activities affecting me, who brought it upon them? Or is boko haram a nigerian policy? That has affected them? Did you deliberately miss out on the biafra war devastation of se? And the subsequent policy that has seen successive nigeria govt over look se? Did that aspect skip ur dirty mind? and islamic caliphate want to do away with nigeria why dont you lecture them on how to improve igr like the biafrans? They need it badly too. Did biafran kill anybody? I

TheArchangel:
you don't understand a thing and you refuse to even understand.

When the industries imports their raw materials where is it coming from?
Most traders that troop to Lagos daily where is there wares coming from.? Do you think that if there is a port in Onne, calabar, Onitsha, Lokoja that the numbers will remain same? Get an education boy.

I ain't envious of SW, not at all. I am just having a conversation. Damn it.

kernel505:


I wouldn't know but please go out and ask, who is the king of Real Estate on the street, that's why the Igbo man is called Land Grabber.

The biggest pharmaceutical firm in Nigeria is owned, down stream sector Igbos aren't lagging too. The real economy are the SMEs not the multinationals, they are the highest employer of labour.

Need I correct you, that Hausas has the highest richest individuals, which doesn't make up 4-5% of the there population, same goes to the West.
Igbos has the highest number of entrepreneurs.

TheAngry1:


You guys always have excuses! Chai! What stops the 5 SE states from establishing a joint port? Do you know that while you are busy arguing and complaining, Lagos is building a new port in Badagry? Kontinue developing other people's regions you here! Oshi!
