The OP simply posted that the IGR of Ogun state beats the whole SW and the Igbo guy up there have been wailing and trying to condemn the SW.

One even claimed they developed ogun and that Igbo businessmen run the economy of Ogun state. When I told him to give me names of the Igbo men running Ogun economy he only mentioned only 2 companies after some time of researching.

In the next two years, the Igbos will start profiling Ogun state as no man’s land and start blaming the Ogun Governor as they always do to Tinubu.

Why a tribe could have that kind of mindset of claiming other people’s achievement as theirs beats my imagination. Even God said thou shall not covet thy neighbors but it seems they have been touched by the devil to always dream of getting what others deserve.

After they see Ogun state is beyond their reach, they will move to Oyo state again and start claiming they developed it while their region remain ravaged with erosion.

This is What matters,
Second phase of nominal GDP from 2013-2017 of 22 states was released by NBS on 22/05/2019, of which all southwestern states were among the listed states except Lagos, only Anambra and Ebonyi from southeast were among the 22 states released so far, from the list Akwa Ibom, Rivers, FCT Bayelsa and Anambra accounted for 50% of nominal GDP, Ogun is below Ondo, Kano before Anambra State this is what that matters not your fantom IGR which doesn't reflect on infrastructures on ground , Ogun I know is still backward when compare to key states in Southeast.

Being in debt does not diminish greatness.
Ogun state is more developed than any state in the SE.. fact
USA is the most indebted naftion in the world and far more developed than any nation without debt.

" they will deploy every illegal means (see their overwhelming crimes) to achieve their aim. And if that still does not bring down the competition, now they demand separation!"

I am intrigued by your comment about Igbos and crimes. Are you making an emphatic statement that when it comes to Igbos and Yorubas with regards to criminality in Nigeria, Igbos are more criminally minded than your kinsmen?

Good point.

See what I don't get about SE people is admitted, they are driven and hardworking. They are competitive and willing to put in the effort to get results, they have been both a source of pride and curse to the country but:

1. If for their hard work, stats show that they are ahead of others, they don't focus on enjoying and appreciating their rewards, instead they burn through their time mocking others. In other words, their primary motivation for the hard work is just so they can tell you how you are useless, and they are blessed.

2. If for their hard work, stats show that others are still ahead of them, they will start throwing tantrums, blaming everything on God's green earth but themselves. In the end, if they cannot legally and legitimately beat you in a particular industry/economy, out of desperation, they will deploy every illegal means (see their overwhelming crimes) to achieve their aim. And if that still does not bring down the competition, now they demand separation!

3. Given the two above, using the the system, the other populace (especially northerners) has decided to play the game to their advantage and just cheat Igbos also using legitimate and ILLEGITIMATE means to get ahead. This now create double wahala and wailing for Igbos as they now have to constantly and eternally complain of the wrongs and injustices (true in some cases, and false in many others) that is being meted out to them.

In this point raised by the Op, Igbos are good at many things ie Sports, small to medium scale businesses, education, general work ethic and so many others that are too numerous to mention, but they clearly are below the SW in economic terms and developing a society. This has always been the case even before colonial times. Let's learn to appreciate on our strengths and work to improve on our area of weaknesses rather than spend time hating and throwing propaganda, false data etc everywhere.

Thanks.
