^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Your comment is the reason I created this thread. For some strange reason, people from the SE are obsessed with telling lies. They make ridiculous claims, and most people just laugh. If no one exposes these lies, they start to spread as though they are the truth. This "Enugu is richer and more developed than every SW state except Lagos" lie is very, very, new. It is time to expose it with facts, so that we can kill it early. Enugu will have to top Borno State in GDP before it can claim to be richer and more developed than the SW. "If you repeat a lie many times, people are bound to start believing it."

You claim the state is very poor, yet she has achieved enviable infrastructural development, the best security in the country, as well as orderliness and organization, and that on a very tight budget. Most importantly, it has an international airport, which obviously rankles you like a bee sting. Quit hating, my brother 9 Likes

smh, another yoruba propaganda manufactured data that is everything but factual. Let it be on record that Enugu is more developed than all SW states combined together except Lagos of course. Enugu is one of the top 3 decent, serene and beautiful city in Nigeria after Abuja and Lagos. To analyse this with one factor, one would wonder how come a shoprite that was opened in Ibadan is folding due to lack of patronage with it being turned to a sight seeing and excursion tourist site whereas Enugu shoprite is recording huge financial profits daily and yet Ibadan has more than twice of Enugu's GDP according to this data manufactured in ogbomosho. 7 Likes |

KFC has opened two outlets already in Ibadan and has none yet in the SE The SW has the least unemployment rate and its no wonder they keep trooping in daily to flee from the stark poverty ravaging towns and villages built on what is left of eroded barren land 16 Likes
