Lagos does not have more factories than Anambra state alone. They may have more big brand factories, but not more factories (Especially small scale).

ekt_bear:

This rationale doesn't make sense, btw. Not everything will be cheaper to import than to manufacture. I actually think Lagos and Ogun will be phenomenal for manufacturing if/when electricity is available in Nigeria. You have a pretty enormous market nearby, and relatively low overall transportation costs if you build your factories in Ogun.

@ Eko Ile

Abeg which one be Adeola Odutola Industries. It shows on that site that they sell Quality products. What kind of product be quality product. Most companies listed there are mushroom companies. They can be best described as shops.

Eko Ile:


Ode!! lmao. I guess you're too chicken to post your list, 



We re talking about almost 100 major industries like Honda, 2 West African Portland Cement in ewekoro and shagamu, 4 pharmaceuticals, 4 breweries, 2 distilleries, sugar factories, Metal packaging, Tin, Crown cap , Sodium silicate, Aluminium sulphate, sulfuric acid , Louver frames, Aluminum roofing, Accessories, Bolt, Nuts and Wagner, paint factories,Transformer, Electrical Cables, Coils etc.,  iron and steel,


And this clown is talking about some less than six  month  old joint. I really can nit knock the motor factory because it's a good thing, but that's really an exception and it pales in comparison when talking about the tax base and employment capabilities of almost 100 major industries,

ekt_bear:

Are we measuring overall dollar value of the factories, or  just quantity? I'm sure Anambra has more  quantity, but I highly doubt that the overall value of the business they do exceeds that of Lagos.

Otherwise I'm a bit surprised  that McKinsey for example decided to open their office in Lagos rather than Anambra

Give credits to whom deserves honour if I remember the benin empire was brought down by the British plus they didn't suffer a quarter of what igbos saw but till today after almost two centuries the effects still strong on em. Igbo NDA!!!!!

But you forget that the auto industries in the south east is dependent on the smaller auto spare parts factories scattered from Nnewi to Enugu. The Innoson auto plant will source 60% -70% of their materials from local industries existing synergistically with the plant.

Like I said before, the state governments don't have good websites except Imo state, but Imo does not have the type of industries we are talking about; only Anambra, Enugu and Abia have them, and they don't have the list online.

So, here you go. One down for you.  

Justcash:

Like I said, companies with big brands prefer to exist in Lagos, and are very surpported by the government. [b]However, in terms of number of factories (addition of big and small) (Including toilet tissue, pure water factories LOL!), Anambra gat more than Lagos state. Ogun state is no where near any of Anambra, Abia and Enugu.

Eko Ile:

What's your point really? What's all this rubbish got to do with tens of major industries employing thousands of people and paying taxes?

And please, stop making silly excuses, there is nothing on  their website because there is nothing to put on the website. You yourself can not name them.

Abeg stop jare,

Onlytruth:

International companies locate in areas closest to international airports. Anambra does not have that.
Let's keep things in proper perspective. Now, when Enugu international airport becomes fully operational, we can come back after some years to re-evaluate.

afam4eva:

Is it not Ironic that Imo state that has the best and comprehensive website is not known for industries. At least those states no matter how crappy their sites are should endeavour to post it on their site. The Ogun state website just like many othet state website is crap but they did us a favour by posting the industries in their state.

ekt_bear:

That is not how things work for McK. They chase money too. If there is money to be made in Anambra, then they'll open an office there, international airport or not.

They have offices in even the Minnesotas of the world (though I do concede that Minny has world-class airports, something Anambra (and Nigeria in general) lacks).

Aigbofa:


You really can't help yourself. Everything has to be a competition between ibo and Yoruba!

Onlytruth:

lol. Whatever boils your water for tea!  

Personally I'm not really into this argument to convince your type, just to put things in proper perspective.

Igboland is almost synonymous with industry. Every Nigerian knows that. That is probably why the governors never thought of creating websites to blow their trumpets.
The owners of the factors/industries are busy hustling.  
A single pharmaceutical company like [b]Juhel [/b]is one of the largest pharmaceutical industries in the WORLD. Juhel employs thousands of people. But your type can never know that.

So, keep looking for that website.

Onlytruth:

And how would they enter and leave Anambra state? Let me guess.
They land in Lagos or Abuja and then take a 7 hour drive to Anambra state along the terrible armed robber infested Nigerian roads, right?
Sorry, no deal.

afam4eva:

Tribal bigot. How does my post even suggest that i'm comparing Igbo and Yoruba.

Justcash:

So after defeating the East in the civil war, [b]all Yoruba folks can boast of is a bunch of factories, that can't make any impact on employment. Well, it is a Pity. The Hausa folks have accepted that they messed up, it is the few Yoruba folks here that are trying to justify how much village factories the civil war victory helped them to get.
It is indeed a pity. May God help all of you.
I'm outta here.[/b]

Eko Ile:


I wonder why your people and many from every corner of  Nigeria call Lagos home/are trooping to Lgaos. And I wonder why Lagosians and Yoruba people are not venturing into iboland.

See how silly you sound?

Eko Ile:


This is one of the largest pharmaceutical industries in the WORLD?

Must you people insult our intelligence?

Things will change as soon as the Asaba Airport is ready.

Onlytruth:


As long as it is INTERNATIONAL, then we don't have a problem.
Another local airport is of no use to us.

See how daft you sound. Why have people started trooping to Abuja. It's because it was built with Oil money. Nigeria's money. Why is it that whenever you wan to prove that Igbos are running to Yoruba land it's only lagos you use as an example. Why are Igbos not trooping to Akure, Abeokuta, Oshogbo enmasse. Do the math or keep quiet.

Onlytruth:

Yes it is!  

Eko Ile:

Ode!!! Are we talking about Lagos or Abuja? And it makes no difference to me what part of Yorubaland you fancy? Lagos is  a Yoruba state period, and you and your people ain't ish till you enter or claim Lagos.
