With these figures before us I hope that the Anambra team can stop terrorizing us with the false economic 'superiority'. The state states in the SE or Imo and Abia (which were also the last to fall in the civil war, and the start states in Igbo land are Rivers and Delta given their oil and the initial investments Mike Okpara made in Rivers early on.

Good


I would be glad if CBN governor can reduce interest rate for small and medium scale registered agricultural and industrial businesses to encourage expansion


This action if taken will see SE agricultural and industrial businesses booming now that price of foreign goods will increase.

I will also be happy to see CBN allow 10 most healthy banks control 10% of our foreign reserve each handling 1% to help make available low interest loans in order to encourage creation of new businesses and expansion of old businesses.


This economic climate is our opportunity to seize a sizable portion of Nigerian market through our technological and financial creativity.

Ikengawo:


The only thing holding the SE back agriculturally are the people, so a little government push will be necessary. Few youths want to stay in the rural areas were farming is done (which is normal around the world for young people to not want to be rural). On top of that land politics is so intense in the east that many don't want to irrigate their land and turn it into farms out of fear of not having a place for their children and children's children to build homes.

Igbo based statistics by Igbo man (Soludo)

Why are they all running away from their so rich soil? That is a very simple question Soludo did not and could not answer.

Yeye dey smell.

This thread is made for Igbos and good non-Igbos.

pazienza:
Ikengawo, what exactly do you intend to achieve by inciting an Igbo dick measuring contest? Are you a builder or destroyer of Igbo unity.

Nwannaa, biko, onye ana ekiri ekiri, anaghi ekpo aja!

Delete that post you made on 8:05, there was no need for it.

And how do one/you determine who is a GOOD non-ibo?

Ikengawo:


There's nothing wrong with objective comparison
I also what this to help curtail the abuses the whole of Igboland is getting from people from Anambra because it's disgraceful. They have been selling each other the myth that Anambra is the economic center of Igboland when it's really the Imo-Abia confluence. Aba is bigger and more economically important to Nigeria than Onitsha (trade, industry, commerce and finance, Enugu is the political capital, the Imo is by far the most liveable in the southeast. So I don't know what warrants the constant abuse Igbos suffer from Anambrans.


If you make it an Igboland thing and not a SE thing, Rivers and Delta take the cake, so again, I don't get it.
Igbos are ok comparing each others states. It's only when it comes to Anambra that it becomes a fight.

@Ikengawo you well so, why do you guys loathe Anambra this much? So CBN that listed Anambra and Abia among the first 5 states for cashless transaction don't know anything, Anambra having highest number of banks after Lagos and Abuja is for fun abi? Bringing me GDP stats i can edit on wikipedia is no issue, tell me that the economic activities in Jigawa is above that of Imo.
