BuddahMonk: [s]Tell us abeg Statistician General of the Federation.

If you had visited Ibadam and Aba you dnt need a prophet to tell you that Aba maybe smaller than Ibadam but they Aba is light years ahead of Ibadan in wealth distribution, even development and standard of living.

Pls Ibadam isnt the one i passed on my to Ekiti or does any ibadam exist in the outerspace, that you can drive for more than 45mins without seeing a one storey building but gabbledroof old houses that date back to pre-colonial era.[/s]

That is your opinion...and it counts for nothing.

Stop quoting me if you can't bring anything remotely close to intelligence to the table.

I lived in Aba for 2 year...inside Binez and Terminus hotels...outside of Umungazi GRA and the Low cost housing Estate.....no any place for good human habitation...

danot1030: u seem not to understand, the implication of the analysis above is that there is higher cost of living at Aba than Lagos. Beside get the fact right not Aba as solo but Aba join with Port-Hacourt together. The over all implications is that Lagos might witness a higher rate of migration from these areas

It simply means there is more money to be spent by residents of Aba or PH than those of Lagos. You cannot spend what you do not have.

I understand where you are going to but you are wrong. the difference in per capita spending cannot be due to price difference of goods alone.

eaglechild: Port Harcourt, Warri, Benin City, Aba, Enugu and
Onitsha make up the six city southeast cluster. Its
proximity to oil wells has led the region to be a hub
of activity for oil companies and foreign investment .
According to the report, total GDP in this cluster
alone is[b] $63bn, which is a close rival to Lagos’s
GDP of $68bn
, [[/b]b]despite having far fewer households.[/b]
Both Port Harcourt and Aba have considerably
higher
consumption per capita than Lagos.




Taking a critical look at the above we can see that the SE/Niger Delta cluster has the highest per capita consumption and standard of living.

Note that the SE cluster has a population of about just 7-9million with a corresponding GDP of $63B vs Lagos with a population of 21million and a GDP of $68B.

That is why they said PH and Aba ( and from calculations the other cities) have a CONSIDERABLY higher per capita consumption than Lagos.

What's going for Ibadan is its huge population. Thus, it is easy out of that huge population to find a sizable medium class. Still those decrepit brown roofs that strut its landscape is a clear sign of poverty. I was born in Ibadan and raised there substantially. I know every bit of it.
You may be from ibadan( I am not ) but you definitely have know clue of what makes Ibadan tick.
I will only give you one assignment.
Go to ojo junction,
Just that junction
Look at the economic activity happening there .
1 just imagine that the government was the one collecting all the money union bosses and police are pocketing .
calculate the value of goods going in / out of of ojo on just one trailer.

Go to the market (forgotten the name) where those welders,foundry craftsmen and technicians etc make grinding machine, shelling machine,peeling machine ,squeezing machine etc.
Walk around your area and check out the different activities.
These are just a tiny aspect of the sub economy .
It is then you will understand .
Ibadan had the most balanced economy in Nigeria.
Switch off the oil and Ibadan is still rocking.

Ojoo on Lagos-Ibadan and Ibadan-Ilorin (IITA) roads intersection: all you see there are uncountable bukas, pepper and tomato sellers and iya alamala and ewedu, and a few Igbo and Yoruba boys selling nollywood movies and clothes. Of course you have lots of Yoruba motor park touts there as well.

When you talk of machine makers and small and medium scale entrepreneurs, where then will you place Aba?

phantom: but when I said the same thing on this forum some time ago,they wanted to crucify me.
Lagos is the richest state but its population makes nonsense of that wealth.
the extremes ,very rich and very poor are very evident in Lagos.
in PH,wealth is actually more evenly distributed.
in Lagos,you are more likely to pick a random person on the street who doesn't have five naira to his name...grin

Same thing goes for Ibadan as well, with the huge population, third behind Kano and lagos, you're more likely to come across a poor man than a rich one. Dumb pple can't know this.

From the analysis, Aba and Portharcourt have greater per capita consumptions than Lagos and Ibadan and thus higher average levels of living. However, for starters, when you multiply the per capita of the cities by their respective populations, there is then a bigger overall economy in Lagos and Ibadan than in Ph and Aba respectively. Simple arithmetic that should be devoid of tribal rants.

Getting serious.........

It's more like Nigeria being the economic giant of Africa, but average Botswanans (for example) enjoy better and worthier living standards than average Nigerians. Large population is good only when majority of the people are productive and contributing to the economy. That is not the case in Nigeria, at least for now. With a relatively smaller population and a productive one at that (as with Aba and Onitsha) poverty is sure to be low.

For once, I wish Nigeria has no oil so that out of necessity our big population will be matched with the expected productivity level. Otherwise, we should work towards serious population control to match the current productivity level.

Why are you confusing facts here, the analysis clearly states Lagos with 15M people has GDP of $68B and Nigerdelta/SE cluster has 64B with about 9M people. Now where is there a larger economic activity per capital?
