America is the most heavily indebted country in the world and yet it is the richest
Dangote is the most heavily indebted man in Nigeria and yes he is the richest
South East is the least indebted region in Nigeria because it is the poorest, who in his right mind Will lend to the south east? How will they pay back? Where is the investment? The revenue generating activities that will be enough to pay back any loan given to the south east states? The east depends on oil money from the south south , get it's food from the North and imports all his goods from the west. It is not an economically viable region!!!
Check the proportion of US debts to their GDP, the proportion of Dangote's debts to his worth. Those debts are not sustainable.

Now check the proportion of SW, NE, SS, NC and NW debts to their GDPs and compare with SE's.

Inspite of how massively Lagos had borrowed, 2/3 of their population, that is, 67% are living in slum.

Lagos according to the Fiscal Responsibility Commission over borrowed in 2015 by 300%.

All projections are made based on assumptions. ALL.

When projecting population growth, GDP growth, budget, anything you can think of, assumptions form the basis.

Lagos has what it takes to pay back its debts even if oil goes to zero kobo. If oil stops flowing today all south east States will go bankrupt with immediate effect low debt or not.

Kanu is one man out of 50 million. Continue talking about him while the incursion continues, keep hiding in your 'enclave'. Probably an Igbo man is representing you in Lagos State House of Assembly. Three of them won in an area heavily populated by Igbos.

Check this out again:

South East Nigeria is the least indebted region with a patry debt of #248 bn. This translates to 7.5% of the total debt profile of the entire 36 states. This patry figure leaves the other 5 regions to share the other 92.5% at an average of 18.5%. This means that South East is below other regions in Fiscal rascality.

The aggregate debts of the 36 states to the National budget 2017 is 45.8%, South East debt to the budget is about 3.5%, leaving other 5 regions with 42.3% at an average of 8.5 for the other regions.

The proportion of SE debt to our GDP is 0.0%, meaning this is sustainable and serviceable at the long run.

With a single digit figure against the double digits figure of the other regions, SE deserves a Kudos.

Has Lagos in anytime in its history presented a balanced budget? That is by the way.

without federal allocation from oil money? what other means of revenue generation will south east depend upon? federal allocations makes roughly 30% of Lagos total revenue but almost 97% of south east revenue.

In 2011, UN estimated Lagos population to be 11.5 million, Lagos State Government estimated it to be
17.5, National Population Commission said the city had grown to 21 million in 2016.

We used Lagos State Government Stat to project the number of Igbos living in the SW.

Different writers are at concensus that about 40% are Igbos, this translate to 7 million living in Lagos alone. With these we can safely say over 11 million are in the entire SW.

Are the Stats valid? I don't know. Verifiable? YES!

Let's Lagos state provide her stats and figures first nah. cheesy
All I am seeing here is assumption and/or assumed figures. wink

The figure was provided by Lagos State Government.

We didn't assume any figure, we only made calculated the population of Igbos in Lagos based on Lagos State Govt's official population figure.

I guess you don't know Onitsha main market controls Nigerian importation network infrastructure, while SW only the sea port. As long as that infrastructure is firmly in their hands, they will always control trade.

SE strength is not just in trading, we are manufacturers. Time will come when you will abandon your cars for Innonson, the most versatile automobile company in Africa. Google this up please.

Nigeria Army used to import their kits, but presently Aba manufactures them and the Army has not lost confidence in them.

Innoson has started manufacturing military vehicles, with time they will start manufacturing for our military.

Don't forget Zinox is an indigenous computer manufacturer in Nigeria, owned by Anambra man.

Linda Ikeji is not a trader, she is a blogger. African most successful blogger.

Everything is all about value proposition and we understand this very much. We are very dynamic, if the landscape changes, we will change as well.

We will never be stucked. In the future we will be electing Governors, Senators. We have started with State House.

I just wish all regions will open their eyes to the opportunities that traveling has to offer.
^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^

ProForce Ltd, manufactures Armored Personel
Carriers/vehicles
for the military in Ogun State, Nigeria
and for export since 2013.


There is nothing that is being produced
in Aba or Nnewi that you will not find
a substitute being produced locally
in Lagos or other parts of SW or Nigeria as
a whole, based on
my research since the 1990s. I discovered
that savvy entrepreneurs of Edo, Yoruba, Itsekiri,
Igala, Idoma, Efik, even the North like
Sokoto, Kaduna, Kano are manufacturing
things at a standard technological level.
Recently, a man from Kano was at an
exhibition in Abuja were he displayed a
vehicle that uses only solar energy panels!


Companies located in the South West such
as Yiko Deen Footwear
and the North also manufacture military
boots and kits for the Nigerian Police/Armed
forces. The manufacturing contract was spread around
so nobody has the monopoly of technology
or Knowledge in Nigeria. Nigerians have
very brilliant people in every region.


There is even an indigenous car manufacturing
company in Ghana which is owned by a
Ghanaian citizen. grin


Last by not least, I do not trust the source
of wealth of some of young Ibos because
many of them especially of Anambra
stock have been arrested in Lagos
and Anambra by the NDLEA for operating illicit
methamphetamine laboratories.


Nnewi, Ozubulu,
Satellite Town, Iba Newsite, Ibeju Lekki
New site are some of the places being used
to operate hard drugs laboratories. A young
guy from Ozubulu of 36 by the name
Blessed of Blessed International was also
busted by NDLEA in Ajao Estate in Isolo
Lagos for production of methamphetamine
inside the so-called mansion he was
living in. The by-products of the methamphetamine cause cancer and
mental issues and these so-called
rich young, dubious SE guys have polluted
the soil with the waste from methamphetamine
production. You can crosscheck these
FACTS with NDLEA and NIA. Over 95% of drug
trafficking via MMA in Lagos[Lagos International
Airport] is done by male/female of Ibo descent.
Off course with the body scanners and
sniffer dogs, most drug traffickers get
caught. Yoruba and Edo/Delta make up
the remaining 1% to 4% involvement
in drugs trafficking based on NDLEA
and the biannual NIA reports of Nigerians
in foreign prisons.


It is really embarrassing that of the over 500
Nigerians in Chinese prisons, 99% of them
are of Ibo origin, same with Brazil, South
Africa, etc. Another guy who was
a sitting eze Ndigbo of Australia was
also arrested for dealing in drugs as a drug
barron 3 years ago! Many of them say they
are importers but they are now on death row
in Pakistan, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Myanmar,
Brazil, etc.



I only TRUST Ibo professionals and real people like Zinox, Coscharis, Slok[Orji Uzor Kalu] etc,
because I know how they started their
businesses, but not these other dubious guys who
call themselves traders, who use that to
cover up their criminal ways in the area
of kidnappings for ransom, armed robbery
across the West African borders (A criminal
gang was busted in Lagos over 2 years ago
and one of them confessed that most
of the Ibo traders in Alaba are into crime
but use trading to coverup. This guy
from Ebonyi was involved in robbing banks
and Bureau D Change in Nigeria and
Benin Republic. He had built a mansion
along Ikotun Egbe Road and living a fake
life until him and the rest of his gang
from Anambra were caught!



The stories were widely reported in papers
with their pictures and the mansions
they built in Lagos in PM News, The Sun, etc.


Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike's arrest
in 2017 for the series of kidnappings and
armed robberies/killings in
Lagos, Edo, and other parts of Nigeria
only made me to be a lot more suspicious
about the lavish lifestyle of especially young
Ibo traders who claim to be rich until proved otherwise.

You make me laugh, South east investment does not make up to 10% of total investment in Lagos, if Igbos leave Lagos there will be less pressure on the infrastructure and more room for better investors who will bring in good money but less liabilities after all South Africa has trillions of dollars of investment in Lagos but how many south Africans do you see here putting unnecessary pressure on our infrastructure?
