Aigbofa:


Banjo was a good man, probably like you. But, that did not stop the bearded goat from shooting him.

afam4eva:

The question should not be about which states have the most industries. It should be about who owns those industries.

Justcash:

My friend, don't talk ignorantly. Your assertion is wrong. Ogun state gat less factories than Anambra state (E.g Awka and Onitsha). Do a research and find out. I know because I have lived and done business for more than 3 years in both states. I know what I am saying. You can only mention Lagos, and yet Lagos cannot be said to have more factories than the whole of South East.

Eko Ile:


I really was expecting you to come up with your own list instead of the useless talk.

I did my research and I back it up with my own facts, it is not up to me to help you dig up facts to counter my own facts, it is up to you to do your own research to discount and discredit mine.

What you're doing is called intellectual laziness. Don't run your mouth about what you can not prove.  Put your money where your mouth is. Stop being lazy.

LOL! You just cracked me up. You don't need to be insolent. Okay where do you want me to start from? Is it in Motorcycles assembly plants, Motorcylcle parts moulding plants, Automobile molding plants, Car Assembly plant, Paint manufacturing factories, Soap making factories, Cloths, Cement, Oil, electronics etc If you even want factories that manufature illegal stuffs like Guns, I can name for you, Just that you have to keep it confidential.  

You used to hear of "Aba Made"? How popular was it, and how difficult was it to know the difference between "Aba made" and the original?

I don't want to waste my time on this. I am keeping to the question that is bugging my mind. How come the West and North remained at this level till the East recuperated and caught up? Forget that I am Igbo,  Does that fact not bother you?

komando7:

Aigbofa and babapupa, say the truth: you both secretly wish you were Igbo.

ekt_bear:

I would be highly surprised if Lagos State doesn't have more factories than all of the SE. Doesn't it contribute like 40% to the Nigeria's GDP, consume 60% of Nigeria's electricity, etc? These figures are off the top of my head and are probably off to some extent, though.

@Aigbofa: I guess my point is that I work for Team Yoruba, not Team Igbo.

Team Igbo would be welcomed to have you.  To add for diversity. Come on my brother, you think like an Igbo man.

Akhenaten:

And who are the scapegoat that you have in mind to awaken the mighty Yoruba race? Fear is good, when it is channeled into productive means. Fear of Nazi Germany propelled the U.S. to create a large military complex that would be able to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. However, fear can also consume a nation. Just look at what occurred in Yugoslavia amongst the Serbs, Muslims and Croats.

Aigbofa:

Wouldn't you like to have him? Like Adekunle Fajuyi abi?

Akhenaten:

Adekunle Fajuyi is well respected in my community for what he did for Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi who is a member of my clan. And I also have the deepest respect for the man.

Aigbofa:

Unfortunately, a lot of ibos don't feel thay way. And I dont want Eku-Bear, another Ekiti man sacrificed for some ungrateful folks.

Akhenaten:

I don't understand why he would not be respected amongst the Ndi Igbo. He died alongside Ironsi, which shows his loyalty to his boss and friend. You can learn a lot from this man. He was not a tribalist.  

Eko Ile:


I'm really not interested in your nonsensical rubbish. The only way to prove people wrong is by posting your own list and facts, not by regurgitating irrelevant nonsense.


Like I said, what you're doing is called intellectual laziness. Don't run your mouth about what you can not prove.  Put your money where your mouth is. Stop being lazy. Give us the list of the industries or STFU.

Mention one factory in Ogun state that is as big as Innoson's factories? Before you jump and start shitting on you nappies, Innoson is owned by an independent individual without government's help. When you have answered that, research about Ogbuawa and Ibeto. Check where they have their factories. Lest I forget, have you heard of Annamco? These are major factories, and not "Moi-Moi and Agidi " Factories that you mentioned.
Moi and Agidi factories too plenty for South east that they are considered unimportant. What we call normal factories in the South East is like mega factories in the West.
Be careful, you may be killed with an "Awka made" Pump action.  

russellino:

Its amazing that someone puts up a post to higlight the positive aspects of the Igbo people and some people want to kill themselves. Igbos survived the war and despite losing almost everything can boast of the highest number of self made multi-millionaires in this country, have without FG input rebuilt their scorched and devastated land to the best of their individual ability are producing some the brightest young minds this nation can boast  of.

Like the N.Delta has shown,when the govt fails to put in the minimal development the youth fall prey to the lure of crime, yet most igbo youth who cant go to school still  trade and most times excel at it.

By all means a round of applause

Onlytruth:

lol babapupa is incapable of acknowledging any Igbo achievement even if his life depends on it. What a character!

Personally I think the topic is tantamount to jumping the gun. We are far from the promised land.

For the record though, i think that Igboland has more industries than Lagos.
The states may not be blowing their trumpets by listing the industries online (don't let Peter Obi hear it though 'cos he is good at publishing his achievements!). The industries are there and they are not just ordinary industries. I would give a simple example. No laff o!  
A Nigerian woman here in the states once complained that the best bra she has ever used here is the one she bought in Nigeria -made in Aba!  

Go figure.  

We produce the best in Aba, but Nigeria is not into marketing her best.

Interesting posts on manufacturing in the SE. Next time I go to Nigeria, I'll have to see for myself. Unfortunately I've only been to PH. Probably a good idea to see what is going on in Anambra too.

Eko Ile:


Useless yeye 419 gist. How u sabi what you can not list. Major industries really shouldn't be hard to list.


FYI, this is not about not acknowledging anything ibo, it's about needlessly putting other people down just to make yourself feel good while you pounding your  shallow chest.

Eko Ile:


Abeg stop bothering me with the same irrelevant nonsense, post the list or STFU.

Justcash:

agos is strategically bad for manufacturing. Why would you manufacture a product that would cost more than it's imported substitutes (Considering ethe Ports)? It is easier to carry out low scale manufacturing in areas that are far from the ports to take advantage of the nearness to consumers.

Onlytruth:

You guys also forget Enugu with the Emene industries. You also forget the Nigerian breweries at Ama in Enugu ( a $400 million industry), once acknowledged as the single biggest brewery in Nigeria.

IMO, between Enugu, Anambra and Abia, there are more industries than Lagos.

Justcash:



I have called names now, you have pissed in your pants. You are calling Pencil, bread and butter factories, and beating your chest. LMAO! Anuofia.
