So this international brand is in Owerri....hahaha....Yorubaland have suffered...they are really backwards....while igbos were hustling, they were mocking them, calling them traders, but see what traders have been able to do with their hustle while the yorubas were partying and doing owanbe and flamboyant weddings, with yoruba demons....o ma shey oooo

Amarabae:
It depends on the parameter that you use to determine the development index.
Is it by human development index?
Or by industrialisation?
Or by infrastructural?
BTW how can a geopolitical zone be developed in a backward underdeveloped country like Nigeria?

BeeBeeOoh:
You are free to compare southwest to southeast when she must have suffered what southeast suffered, picked up and rebuilt her cities with her sweat without waiting for the government to do so for her. Thanks

Duru1:
Take Lagos out of the southwest, what remains is a cocoa and kolanut farm.

Rotimik:


Have you been to Abeokuta before. The CBD is awesome. Beautiful, wide and dark road surfaces everywhere.

Lots of large modern buildings. Abeokuta is one of the neatest and most beautiful city in the SW.

Stop looking at 1940's pictures of Abeokuta. You need to visit the city.

I was there some time ago, and I was shocked at the level of development.

PrecisionFx:


This topic is not about IGR, Rather it is about development. Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria, Thus monies generated from every region was used to develop lagos. IGR wise, Most of the other 5 or 6 states in the SW doesn't generate more than Lagos even of the IGR of the other states conbined together.

Lagos contributes the most IGR in Nigeria and this is because of how Nigeria is run. If Nigeria's useless leaders open up the ports in Delta state, Anambra state, Rivers state and calabar, The IGR of Lagos become as it should be.

If FG also bring in embassies across SE n SS, Lagos IGR will fall even further.

If FG builds the needed Airports in SE n SS, Lagos IGR will Plummet even more.

Michael004:
lol, the last statement just exposed you finally hehehehehe. The way you people display stupidity is high. So Lagos is not part of south western states, then it must be part of south eastern states. Sorry about your predicament.

bionixs:
don't bring lagos into the contest. it was a seat of FG.

bakynes:
It is definitely between the SS and SW.

SS has PH, Calabar and Uyo while SW has Lagos, the Modern districts of Ibadan and Ogun states(Abeokuta,Ota,Agbara) North Central comes next with the Abuja factor, NW comes next with Kano and Kaduna then the SE and Last is the NE which has been destroyed by the insurgence.
