WisdomFlakes:

But tiny Bayelsa's GDP is more than Anambra's

grandstar:
How am I supposed to believe that the GDP of Ondo state is higher than that of Ogun state? Not possible.

Maduawuchukwu:
If these statistics are to be relied upon it shows the power of the Nigerian Federal Government in determining which state becomes developed or not. FCT is where it is because of federal investment. This should put an end to all those arguments that say that the status of FCT did not help Lagos become the commercial giant it is today.

Yyeske:
You have time o, who doesn't know that Lagos is enjoying infrastructures it inherited as a former FCT. Lagos sea and airports, express ways, bridges, flyovers and several others.

Abuja is enjoying same right now because it's the current FCT

Just imagine what would've happen to this thread if typical Yoruba States were on top This is what we have been debating since, I told them IGR doesn't measure economy , when Prof Soludo former CBN governor said Anambra was forth largest economy in Nigeria after Lagos, Rivers and FCT, ignorant minds from West started insulting him, they were ranting how Ogun is industrial hub, you can see small gap Ogun gave Anambra in industrial sector, although industrial sector contribute 11% to the GDP, while services where Anambra top all the state they were boasting contributed 67%, state following Anambra in nominal GDP is Kano, see how they deserted the thread I believe the debate is over, at least they will know their mate

Yyeske:
The DG of the NBS is a Yoruba man in the name of Mr Yemi Kale, forward your disapproval to him and not me. Just tell us your state while we wait for that of Lagos.

KingOfAllIgbos:

Why are you avoiding this thread like leprosy This should serve a great lesson to you and your likes, empty vessel, had it been it was Yoruba typical states, I'm 100% sure this thread would've reach 15 pages by now, it will trend for 1 week, at least your guys now know the real master not Lagos/Ibadan media propaganda. Thank God the GDP came out in Buhari's era and your brother is in charge of NBS, had it been it was GEJ's time, you guys would've said we manipulated the data

Philistine:

The statistics is pure rubbish, how can kogi state be more industrialised than Kano?

dragon2:

Anambra is throughly the light of the nation, a state without seaport, Airport, low federal infrastructures all we have in abundance in human resources. God bless great Igbo nation.

Philistine:

That report is not reliable, stop all this blabbing. How can kogi be more industrialised than Kano.?

Anambralstson:

It is not about numbers of industries, what matters is money they make from the table Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta are on top of Ogun on the table, these are oil industries that makes more revenue than all biscuits and detergent industries in Ogun. It's revenue that matters not numbers of industries.

Anambralstson:

Kogi have more natural resources more than Kano, Dangote cement is in Kogi, Obajana Cement Plant in kogi State is the biggest source of revenue for Dangote Cement Plc According to proshareng, approximately 54.70% and 55.70% of Dangote Cement's revenues and pre-tax profits came from its gas powered Obajana Cement Plant in 2012. Kogi have more than five Ceramic tile industries, Royal Ceramics in Ajaokuta, West African Ceramics Ltd biggest in West Africa manage by Chinese, BN Ceramics Ltd and others.

Philistine:

So there are oil industries in Kogi State?

Blue3k:
I calculated the Tax to GDP we have so far in excel. Most of the states do less than 1%. If states got it to 5%-10% there would be plenty of money for whatever projects and salaries they have. This assumes they don't find new ways to waste or steal taxes. The viability index is calculated using IGR to Federal allocation. Every state would pass if the got up to 5% tax to GDP ratio. If the states are this bad you can only imagine how bad the situation is at local government level.

Unlimitk:

Truthfully speaking
D states should tax more to generate money
Its working in us china Europe
Oil money can't do it alone
1%? Haba! That's too low
But amosun still tried a little bit in d revenue generating sector for ogun,even though he is a dunce

Anambralstson
now on d issue of services u were boasting about
u really made me sad
on d services list kano is above anambra and rivers is above Oyo and abuja is number one
now guy I'm sure u are smart
with all those points I pointed out why do u think kano is above anambra, now I'm Yoruba u are Igbo
and I as Yoruba don't believe kano is better than anambra in an way
u know y?
its population
kano is more populated than anambra, anambra more than rivers,rivers more than Oyo and so on
services doesnt really mean much,cos China has more services sector than USA and does that mean USA economy is not good? no
most time services is not really counted in economy terms as a place x having population than place y will mean at most times place x will have more services oriented sector than place y
it's common sense
go to Wikipedia and read about how GDP is done, even Nigeria services sector is more than south Africa but does that mean Nigeria is better than south Africa? no
u should have notice on d services sector that Oyo is after rivers and anambra, y do u think so?
or is Oyo better than Ogun and ondo in education or what
u should know its population determinant
u have more population working,u have more services created
now I told u in south south west traditionally Ogun and ondo are not in d league of Oyo
Oyo is traditionally in d league of Lagos kano Kaduna anambra Enugu rivers and delta
u see the progress ondo and Ogun have made?
now on agriculture sectors,ondo is number one more than anambra and kano and Oyo with more Land
I thought u said anambra was exporting Ugwu,y is anambra behind ordinary ondo Ogun Oyo in agriculture?
so u see anambra is awful in agriculture compare to those south west States
now on industry
u see how ondo and Ogun give anambra gap in industry and u could see in industry apart from oil companies in ss ,Ogun is number1 in industry in Nigeria apart from oil, so were Yorubas lying about Ogun on industry
ogun is more industrialised than d most industrialised se state,so were Yorubas lying on that?
u guys said u were good in agriculture, u can see its a lie
wah abt industry, same thing
only services thanks to your population
services sector sw states are doing OK,see Oyo,see ondo above akwa ibom,ondo is another silent sw states that doesn't make noise
I'm really surprised about ondo,industry agriculture services sector ondo is very ok

Unlimitk:

point of correction Ogun doesnt have detergent industries alone
I'm sure u chose to b ignorant
if Ogun industries that trumped your anambra in revenue in industry sector
are we OK to say because ogun generated more money from its industries then anambra industries are toothpick industries since more money are being generated in Ogun
use your brain when talking

TundeBricklayer:

Use your brain Kano is below Anambra in industry and agriculture from the table, Kano only lead Anambra in services, check the numbers that's is why Kano is below Anambra in nominal GDP
