What exactly is SE contributing to this Nation, apart from Crime?

These are Osus are nothing but parasite and they are always the first to point accusing fingers at others.

Here they go again! A very beautiful thread to debate on, you couldn't resist the evil urge in you to turn it upside down.

To the topic, if the duties on imported rice stands at 60%, why is the imported rice cheaper than the locally produced ones? Nigeria we hail thee.

What was lost in the SS is more than compensated on the basis of being the home to the major source of nation's income and infact mostly due to oil spillage.

But what I don't understand is what exactly is the SE contributing in this obodo?

What exactly does the word "parasitism" mean?

20CRATES:
Kudos to Ogun State

To be Objective, South South really tried. With the massive negative effect that Oil exploration/exploitation have on farming and aquatic life, I expected zero % in rice farming.
Then due to the small landmass in the South East Region (which is less than size of Kogi state) I didn't know rice farming will be this high there. Kudos to them. No land can be best at everything.

parasites that you cannot do without,i dont know where you come from but if realy you want easterners to go why not start protesting just like they are doing .by the time all of you online tribalist start protesting that you want igbos to go just like kanu is doing then they will start taking you serious ,forming tribalistic warlords is just the most cowardish way to go about it.
by the time the govt sees the population that want them to go then they will be serious. stop the childishness

. See the southeast/IPODS, they are almost useless at nothing. Very lazy, what they only know is fake things, drug traffic, 419, money rituals & chest beating. The northerners are still hardworking to me producing the country meat, beans, pepper etc.

For a long time, Nigerians have always been talking and discussing about the need to become food sufficient, especially in some of our most imported agricultural products such as Rice, Wheat, Sugar Etc. So much Ado has been ado concerning the topic, but have you at anytime wondered which states are the top performance in terms of rice production?

Whenever an South Easterner tells you that he produces 1 million tons of something, better be rest assured that it is not more 100 Kilograms.
