Import/Export duty tax
40 percent, about 45 percent of the cargoes that come to Nigeria end up in the south eastern markets-Boss Mustapha NIM Boss

Commerce and industries : Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi are leading commercial, and industrial cities the also pay huge taxes to FG

Aviation industries: southeast airports Enugu airport, Imo airport are topping

Movie industry: Southeast control Nigeria movie industry

Transportation companies: southeast are leading



Every SE state is heavily into commercial agriculture. Imo Palm Plantation at Ohaji Egbema alone produces 30 Tonnes of Palm Oil per hour!!

Do not be silly I said perhaps .Nothing definitive about that . You said you used Google before. Use it again to check the meaning of perhaps

Do not try and reverse the situation


when you start to major in minors you have lost the argument. Scroll up and retrace how we started


You are the one that started this exchange with a CATEGORICAL statement that REDNESS HAS NOTHING TO DO with agricultural output


That is how it started so stop trying to shift goalposts,


The emboldened is poor comprehension on your part. I said the red soil has nothing to do with the SE's agricultural output, not that red soil has nothing to do with agricultural output. One statement there is situational. The other is a generalized claim. There is not a single post I made where I disputed the nutrient/mineral constituent of red soil. I explicitly told you in one of my posts that my questioning of your source was genuine and I wanted to be sure you didn't drag it out of your arrse, so I never even disputed the "fact". My bone of contention is that the soil type has little to do with SE agricultural output compared to other factors like the tiny landmass and high population density and lower rural occupation and subsistence farming rate compared to Northern groups.

I reiterate my claim that SE land is "perfectly arable" and the fact you think your report contradicts the point indicates you didn't comprehend what you read very well.

Clearly, you have serious problems understanding how regional free trade zones all over the world work. And keep regurgitating drivel about "dumping", when you don't know what dumping means.
Forget about your "afonja" obsession and focus on the massive professional brain drain from the SE. Bore us less with your Biafra delusions and focus on how sons from the SE can relocate their businesses and industries to their homeland and how all those wealthy individuals with homes in Festac, Ajah, Lekki etc can invest in the future of their homeland.



Because Kebbi had a collaboration with the Lagos state government means Kebbi "supplies the entire SW"? grin
Kebbi ranks 3rd in this survey and no South East state is anywhere to be found in the top with Abia finishing 36th in rice production:
https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/03/01/survey-ranks-niger-leading-rice-producing-state-in-2017/
Argue with that one too, and while you're at it, bring us any survey showing us the quantity the SE produces in comparison with other regions. Meanwhile, let's cut this nonsense, cyclical back-and-forth short and get to the meat of the argument. Which region does the SE and SS produce more agric output than? Go ahead and tell us.


Clearly you are not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

Multinationals who want their goods sold in Igbo country would have to open production plants in Igboland that would employ our people and remit tax to our government. That's how it would be.
The Lagos-Ibadan-Ogun axis would lose jobs, and tax revenues should Nigeria cease to exist. It's as simple as that.
You wouldn't be allowed to produce goods in odua and dump on us in Biafra. Get that into your brain.


There is brain drain all over the country to North America and Europe, so I don't know the point you are making with your Igbo brain drain angle.
Lagos -Agbara monopoly would cease to exist once Nigeria dies, and those jobs would be outsourced to various emergent nations down South, that alone would help us keep some of our brains down home, which is part of the reason we are agitating for the disintegration of the luggardian colonial estate.


You are shameless. Kebbi state doesn't feature in the stat your fellow Yoruba provided in that thread you posted, even when we know That Kebbi rice feed the entire Lagos and trickles into neighbouring SW states, that should tell you how dubious your Yoruba people are in fabricating stats to malign the Igbo.

Below is a link to the eight biggest producers of rice in Nigeria, I don't see a single SW state featuring there :https://www.naija.ng/1114914-nigeria-rice-production-statistics.html#1114914

On who SE has more agricultural output than in Nigeria, I obviously don't have interest in that, as it would be akin to a competition amongst obessed individual to find out who is the slimest amongst them. What's the point, when even the slimest amongst them is also obessed? We in SE has no interest in such stupid competition with backward groups, we would rather compete with the world, as a sovereign entity, than be enmeshed in mediocrity mud fight with bitter Nigerian groups.

Nigeria is a net importer of food. But Atleast, unlike SW, SE don't import local rice from Kebbi. We grow our local rice and supplement the shortfall with imported rice.

You're talking about the national phenomenon of brain-drain to the North America and Europe. I'm talking of the regional phenomenon of a huge chunk of the Igbo industrialists and corporate executives and business elite leaving the SE to Lagos. Your average engineer who graduates from UNN or FUTO usually ends up in Lagos, Port-Harcourt, Ogun etc. So how exactly will your disintegration and resultant economic crisis from losing oyel money help the SE keep its professionals and entrepreneurs etc? I've told your ilk several times that the day Igbos are really serious about leaving Nigeria, it will gain real traction, starting from the relevant stakeholders pushing the aspirations. If you remain the most nomadic tribe in the country while shouting "Biafra! Biafra!!", nobody really takes you seriously. Israel as a modern nation was built by Zionists (mostly Ashkenazi Jews from Europe) who came from all over the world to build and fight for the nation. It wasn't built by noise-making Jews in Poland or Hungary or Russia making empty noise in their host communities about their agitations.

It's interesting to see that in your yoloboid brain, you believe Lagos and environs would be allowed to continue their FG designed stranglehold on the better south, once Nigeria disintegrates. grin
Shows how deluded some people can be.
The good thing is that your fellow Yolobas know better, which is why most of them develop trepidation at the mention of Nigeria disintegration, they know what's going to follow that.
Keep living in your fantasy world.

Lagos was carefully designed to be a monopolist, serving as the gateway(both air and sea) to the rest of Nigeria.
The moment Nigeria disintegrates, all those nonsense would end and Lagos would come to serve only SW, and maybe NW.
Companies would relocate to new countries they intend to serve, Jobs would relocate and the Lagos pull would end.
It's as simple as that.

You don't have any say on Igbo push for Independence, as a Yoruba man, so I wonder why that is giving you headache, other than your trepidation at what you stand to lose with Nigeria disintegration.
Igbo stake holders were all on the boat with Ojukwu in 1967-70, it ended up not being good enough, there is more to getting Biafra than waiting for those whose life sustenence depends on continued existence of Nigeria as an indivisible entity to lend credence to the struggle.

Nobody takes your failed Country (Nigeria) serious, you are mocked by entire Africa and now by men like Trump and Gates, I think you should focus on that, and worry less about the Igbo man dreams and aspirations for a functional independent nation.


The point is that you don't care about the credibility of any of the multiple useless stats you are posting for rice production, you don't mind if they contradict each other, so long as they are concocted to malign and belittle the SE, you are comfortable with that.
You were comfortable presenting a stat that presented SW state like Ogun as one of the leaders in Rice production, even when such stat failed to take note of Kebbi contribution, so long as it could help you belittle SE, you were comfortable.
I only highlighted that to prove that you are nothing but a biased Yoloboid Man feigning neutrality to propagate your Igbophobic agenda.

Stats in Nigeria are often time useless. Point still remains that SE imports no local rice from outside SE, something we can't say for SW who relies on Kebbi.
Anambra if everything go to plan, would turn out 600,000 metric tons this year, that would put it right at the top of the rice production stats.

Keep deceiving and consoling Yourselves
Somehow you contrive to put all your failings at not having Biafra

What did your people achieve before colonization?

They could not organize theselves beyond the village level.There were no towns and no strangers lived among you for fear of being eaten


Stop deceiving yourself.
YOU ARE NOT DIFFERENT from the North. The north too can use the same fake argument about Lagos so stop calling them parasites you are THE SAME and no better

In summary you accept that you are parasites but this is because you don' have Biafra and will continue to be parasites till that happens?

The SE people are always quick to label the North as "parasites" depending on oil for existence but is this nt true for the SE as well?

Recently released figures of IGR show the SE performance to be very low when it comes to IGR with the most significant paart of its budget based of federal allocations.
Infact Ogun state has nore IGR than every single one of the SE states COMBINED.

1. OP the biggest parasites are the SW and the north. Despite receiving 90% of Nigerian infrastructure and SS/SE oil money they are still backward, heavily in debt and still cannot generate enough to pay salaries. Besides the massive FG investments to aid agriculture like irrigation projects and dams all over the SW as well as industrial investments like Nigerian Machine Tools Limited in Osogbo your region has been and still is an unproductive drain pipe. To whom much is given (oil money) much is expected. Touting Osun IGR when civil servants in that state almost rioted and killed themselves at a place where free cartons of indomie was being shared last year is a terrible shame. You owe salaries for years but IGR is an achievement We are different sha grin

2. Moderate IGR in places like Anambra is a deliberate policy to avoid stifling businesses with ridiculous taxes like Lagos does and we generally have have better quality of life than people in Lagos do. Willie tried it but the people let him know it was counterproductive so he adjusted a bit. That's leadership with a human face

this is just exactly the truth.

Op is dumb not to understand this.
The stat was published during the height of formidable IPOB.
They don't understand any shit about IGR. It signifies how much the government is killing people with tax.

Look at the recent Lagos Land Use Charge that was increased by over 400% and the funniest thing is it is residential property owners that were heavily hit not company owners.

Tomorrow they will start making noise about Lagos IGR without knowing it is their future they just mortgaged.

I'll only take any region serious when the match the 7.8% debt burden of the SE. Not even the sufferstikated slaves can match that even if they tax fished in the Lagoons. Fullz

As for you inyamiri there is no greater parasite than you, which goes a long way to explain the low IGR your region generates and what ten million of your destitute brethren are doing in mine.

And what igr does ur cows generates for the country at least the se still have some oil fields and huge gas deposits to boast about including very rich human resources which is the most important.

Its subsidized for you. Why not import it from Argentina? Your region on the other hand produces what exactly?

Subsidized indeed so u don't know that the SE can grow any kind of crop in commercial quantity if it chooses to including rearing cows in a modern way?

Ogun state developments with purported high IGR grin grin Ogun recently borrowed $350 million, yet to see what they are doing with the huge loan, their purported Igr can't fund projects in the state grin cheesy, Lagos with high IGR and with a landmass of 3,345km, has the largest debt burden among all states. The state’s debt stock is 35.61% of the country's foreign borrowings. You guys should stop deceiving yourselves.
