Onitsha is just lucky with government and multinational's patronage. Ilesa has been an urban center for centuries while Onitsha was just a cluster of villages. Yet all developments in ilesa area were initiatives of Ijeshas. I guess we have to do more and we will. The SABMiller expansion would have been in Ilesa but I guess the Osun governor failed to come up with money as promised. You can still pass your message across without using foul language like yapping and etc if you try. No need for all that. Again, what the Renaissance report is saying is that the total value of production coming out of Osun exceeds that of Anambra. This may be hard for you to come to terms with but it is the plain truth. Cassava, yams, kolanuts, catfish, eggs, chicken, palmoil, cocoa, catfish, coffee, cotton, maize, services of all kinds, trading, okra, timber, plastics, nylon, and hundreds of other products. Remember that if cocoa, kolanuts and coffee brings 1.5 billion dollars a year, that's just a bonus because most farm owners have other sources of income. Some don't even visit the farms. Cocoa, coffee and Kola are like oil wells to the owners. Also, Anambra can't be an oil producing state just because they have a refinery, no matter the capacity of the refinery, otherwise Kaduna will also be one. The oil discovered in that area has been determined to belong to Kogi state not Anambra. There are hundreds of products coming out of Anambra but Osun's appear to be more. One indication is the IGR.

Imagine the moroon saying Onitsha is enjoying government patronage and is a clusters of villages.

I regret even being on this thread because i thought human was typing never knew a goat was on the keypad.
Keep siting in ibadan and be throwing figures around while the world is donating aids for u

I didn't say Onitsha is a cluster of villages. I said Onitsha was a cluster of villages when Ilesa was a well planned urban center centuries ago. Same for Ibadan and Lagos. They were also villages when Ilesa was a well planned urban center centuries ago. I am not saying the oil belongs to Kogi I am just stating the report I heard.

I don't care about oil money. I see it as an impediment to development and growth. Though if well managed, it shouldn't have turned out like that. Ijesha land was reknown for intricately woven mats and kolanuts. Those were our traditional exports. Later cocoa, coffee and etc entered into the fray. We don't need the oil money to get ahead. No one really does. Industry is enough. Congrats to those who have the oil. Thanks for your offer to visit Anambra but no time for now. The Brewery at Onitsha and the coming Neimeth factory amongst others are patronage by multinationals. Aren't they? That's what I mean.

forget bragging right. me and you kno anambra is more developed. ba

lawani:


If your GDP has many sectors and varied economic activities are taking place with no overbearance of any sector, then that's development. It does not always translate to larger GDP. For example South Africa is more developed and industrialized than Nigeria with even a higher per capita income but Nigeria's GDP is bigger. However, someone mentioned here that trading alone covers 40 percent of GDP in Anambra while manufacturing is 20 percent. I don't know the sector breakdown for Osun but reports say Osun is ahead of Anambra by both GDP size and per capita income. I don't know about development.

The GDP of Oyo for 2012 is higher than that of any state in the SE. The GDP of Osun is the same with Imo and Anambra which are the highest in the SE (see below). These are the latest figures from a credible agency and not that 2010 GDP post that has been recycled over and over.

From the report I have for Q1 2013, Ogun State has a higher GDP than the highest in the SE which means the three SW states of Lagos, Oyo and Ogun have higher GDPs than that of any state in the SE and if Osun State were in the SE, its GDP for Q1 2013 will be the second highest

Amazing

This thread is supposed to be trashed for being misleading and a blatant lie.

Osun is currently having the highest GDP of hunger pangs

Adminisher:


Osun has the most sophisticated Machine Tools manufacturing and foundry shop in West Africa. It is also home to Oshogbo steel Rolling mill and is a vital node in Nigeria's electric grid. It has a big railway terminus and is a stop over for travellers from the North on their way to Lagos . Agriculture is very well developed. It has two universities and a lot of research institites. I believe it's published GDP level

The Agro-allied sector in Osun has no answer to it in Anambra. That sector produces billions of dollars of farm produce per annum. Per capita income in Osun will be higher than in Anambra. Osun is richer because of the agro allied sector

How was he discredited?

prodigy24:

Mention one agro allied company in osun state...

lawani:


There is maybe 200,000 people in Osun state who are produce farmers earning well over a million naira per annum from farm produce being sent all over the world. There are big agro allied companies too of which Tuns farm Osogbo is the biggest. Use google to get more info.
