Contribution of the SE (and Igbo) to Nigeria’s Economy

What Really South East Contribute To The Nigerian Economy

This argument keeps rearing its ugly head, pushed on by SW irredentists. But the first thing we need to remember is that the SE gets the least from the national coffers, so it is expected to contribute the least.
However, this is not the case in reality, as I equate the SE with Igbo, in some instances.
Here is how Igbos, even though they get less from the national purse, actually contribute most.

1. There are give and take 17 million Nigerians abroad; 60% of those are Igbos. We know that Nigerians abroad remit billions of dollars to Nigeria annually. Therefore, 60% of the billions of remittances are from Igbos who are mainly of SE origin. The Nigerian Feds have confirmed that the remittances contribute significantly to the economy.

2. Nollywood brings in billions of Naira to Nigeria. We all know that the Nollywood in question is Igbo-dominated.

3. Igbos constitute the bulk of foreign business people who import things into the Nigerian market. We know that importation goes along with payment of import duties, taxes and other levies.

4. The SE, by taking less out of the federal purse, contribute most in keeping some savings for Nigeria. Unfortunately the savings are swallowed by the crooks from all parts of Nigeria.

5. Three SE cities are among the 6-most industrialized cities/towns in Nigeria. Lagos, followed by Onisha and Nnewi(Anambra) Port Harcourt (Rivers), Aba(Abia), Agbara (Ogun), Onitsha (Anambra) are undoubtedly the most industrialized places in Nigeria. This means employment and tax payments to the national purse coming from these industries.

6. SEners/Igbos are the least employed by the federal government. This means they not only take less out of the system by way of salaries and benefits, but also by way of having less opportunity of stealing from the government, compared with other zones.

7. Igbos, by migrating out of Nigeria in more numbers than other groups, contribute less in putting undue strain on the overstretched infrastructure of Nigeria. Most of the strain received by the infrastructure in Nigeria comes from the North. If all Nigerians were to stay back home, we all know how crazy it would get.

8. Most of the sports people in Nigeria are Igbos. That is a contribution that is probably not so easy to quantify monetarily.

9. Moreover, 70% of the investments in Abuja are Igbo-owned and about 30-40% of those in Lagos are also Igbos owned. These investors pay taxes to the governments.

TrRASH!!!

Even the federal universities alone in SE generate just enough for a state's yearly budget.

There are more Igbos abroad and that is a fact.

Our remittances keep Nigeria afloat.

What has the Nigerian economy done Thor the SE sef

Okay, SW and the north are leading in imports and distribution...and Nollywood. Are you now happy

op, truely I am disappointed in you. the mischief makers has asked this question more than 100 times on nairaland and we have provided the answers for them and won in every argument about this topic. so for anyone to bring up this issue again, he or she is being mischievous and doesn't deserve an answer because they will still ask the same tomorrow.

op, simply ignore people asking what Igbo's contribute and quit creating threads to answer them because doing so dignifies their question which already lacks fact and is laden with mischief and hypocrisy!

This thread is unnecessary
