If the economist says Imo is twice Anambra as at 2010, then I believe them. I must say I was surprised but That's what the economist says.

I am not Ibo so I have no stake in who is bigger AKA my opinion is objective.

Can we see some pictures of the commercial farms in KD.

Below are some of the commercial rice and commercial poultry farm exploits in Anambra.

Like i said I am as shocked as you, whenever i think of industries I always have in My mind Nnewi, Aba onitsha etc. It must be their oil wells because apart from Nigerian breweries I cant think of anything in Imo

Some of those mysteries that we may never figure out..

MadCow1:


That first picture will need more proof to confirm it is a Farm in Nigeria let alone Anambra. I doubt even Obasanjo farm has such high tech battery cage system in place.

I will also look for photos of Farms in Kaduna.

Just a Google screens hot of my search

allrightsir:

No need for the insults, I hope you know Imo has quite a few Oil wells, it doesnt take much to push the GDP of a small state. look at Ondo.
I am quoting an internationally recognized source albeit out of date as stated in initial post, these are not Organisations in the habit of publishing misleading figures...people pay for their figures. If that is not good enough for you you are free to believe figures from whatever source you like. But I will go by what reputable organizations say.

AS at 2010


Lagos State US$33,679
2 Rivers State US$21,073
3 Delta State US$16,749
4 Oyo State US$16,121
5 Imo State US$14,212
6 Kano State US$12,393
7 Edo State US$11,888
8 Akwa Ibom State US$11,179
9 Ogun State US$10,470
10 Kaduna State US$10,334
11 Cross River State US$9,292
12 Abia State US$8,687
13 Ondo State US$8,414
14 Osun State US$7,280
15 Benue State US$6,864
16 Anambra State US$6,764

These figures are for 2010 I cant get anything more recent.


For context Lagos is now $100B in this table it was $33B

Please someone tell me what Anambra has done to add $20-30B to it's GDP in the last 7 years when stats shows that the state with the most inward investment in the last 7 years is actually Ogun state. If Anambra had actually see $20-$30B worth of GDp increase in the last 7 years there will be no IPOB. There will be no calls of marginalization in the east because the neighboring states will benefit and people will not be moving to Lagos


I call bullshit on Obianos claims

allrightsir:

You need to tone it down, if you have something to say say it respectfully, you do not have exclusivity in antagonistic or condescending tone.
List the investments that could possibly have catapulted Anambra to top 4 status. All these farm projects are not big projects

allrightsir:

GDP is by picture?
clearly this is a dialogue that needs to end

Jetleeee:


Boyo, I never asked for your family picture. What do I need it for?

LoveDecay:


Fact is Anambra had no IGR in 2016. It cannot be the fourth prosperous state.

allrightsir:


Ogun state this are just a few, like I told you in 2014 alone, Ogun attracted $4B worth of investments, shey you like picture have a look

I can go on and on but you get the idea, any factory you see after berger is Ogun state. so when I say Ogun sttracted $4B in 2014 alone, you know it's not noise when the gov says at least $10B has been invested in Ogun since he became gov you know it's not for election. When you here Ogun is now no 2 in IGR you know it's not propaganda.


Show me yours that has led Amambra to No 4. Please dont kid yourself it is not chickens or a few yams at the airport that will propel a state from no 16 to no4

Where are your investments?

allrightsir:

Scroll back I stated before that i am shocked to see Imo higher than Ananbra but I believe figure published by reputable bodies, the variation cannot be such that there is any meaningful difference. And I do not seen or heard of any investment in Anambra that could have bridged that gap in such a short time...though not impossible.
all those projects you are lsiting are small time projects. what does a $5m project do? I need to see multiple projects in the hundreds of millions and billions of dollars.

allrightsir:
Like I said I do not know what Imo does but if the economist says they are twice Anambra in 2010 then I beleive them, they know more than me and people pay for their data.
ok I choose not to beleive unless I see data from credible sources and with due respect a politician seeking reelection is not a credible source. In the absence of a credible source I look at things on ground, an economy that is growing at the rate you say it is is not the sort of environment that gives rise to insurgents and the disaffected. People with jobs dont go migrating to other lands or form themselves into large crowds demanding change.

allrightsir:

have a publication where Amosun claims recently Ogun has seen N20trillion naira from 100 ($70B investments) since his inception, I did not publish it because it is not verifiable (I cant find it anymore but will post it if i do) ....just as Obiano telling us he has $7B is equally unverified. They are politicians. If you look at the 1st link you will see Amosun was seeking reelection at the time. Surprise surprise obiano is also seeking reelection

http://sunnewsonline.com/amosun-attracts-1-2bn-chinese-investment-to-ogun/ prefer to deal with indices that are measurable that correspond with such investments.


As for Imo, No point in arguing, in the absence of evidence to the contrary I will take the word of the economist over Nigerian hearsay. not that it is an indication of anything but note that Imos budget was higher than Anambra in both 2016 and 2017, the 2 years i checked. so even if Amanbra is bigger than Imo, that might be an indication that it's not by much. What it is they do I do not know I am not from there.
