Let's slug this out.

I love debate cause it gives knowledge and idea.

For me, I think if we remove Lagos (for a good reason), SS govs performed more, followed by SE then SW.

In SS, Akwa Ibom wins, followed by Rivers State, Delta State, Cross Rivers State, Edo State and Bayelsa (the most miserable)

The state has been undergoing giant infrastructural strides right from the time of Godswill Akpabio till date. the key ones are
- Massive Road infrastructure
- Building their own International Airport and launching an airline (Ibom Air) which now has 7 Aircraft (2 new Airbus)
- Building massive office complexes (Four Point by Sheraton, Dakada Tower, Christian Ecunumical Center, Ibom Specialist Hospital
, and many others too numerous to mention).

AKWA IBOM IS SILENTLY LEADING.

If you say na lie oya come and convince us

Why should we remove Lagos first? That's my question to you...

Why should we remove Lagos first? That's my question to you...

Cause Lagos is incomparable to any state. Lagos qualifies as a country on it's own. And also it had already gotten it's advantage over any other state in Nigeria. So it will be an unfair comparison.

Without Lagos it will be balanced. WIthout Lagos SW still has states that are richer than SS and SE states in terms of IGR

Akwa Iboom Roads

Other Key Infrastructure

1. Ibom Library
2. Ibom Specialist Hospital
3. Ibom International AIrport
4. Ibom Worship Center

SW and SS cudos for your ruler but as for presidentship I pray let Buhari win you may have have your own different paryer but this is my paryer for God to lead peter obi let us come together and become Obidient

SW already has that advantage with Lagos being one of the states..

In development only the SS will do beta than the SW marginal n even that is debatable but removing Lagos should be likened to removing everything built with 13% derivatives in the SS while the SE will till Jesus return never be in the competition.

Why are you always afraid of removing lagos ...as our former federal capital,it'd be very unfair measuring it with other Nigerian states,even Abuja of yesterday, people would argue with you in terms of development with lagos...

In my verdict, aside lagos in SW, there's no other SW city that's as developed as Enugu and Owerri, despite the huge igr...ie SS then SE b4 SW.

for easier understanding of my point, Google the images of the two mentioned cities and compare it with any SW city ...you'll understand what I'm saying.

Is that why all of you from that region are always automatically lagosian whenever there's a need for development comparison like this??

Why remove Lagos state?

Is Ikeja former fed capital territory?
Is Ikorodu former fed capital territory?
Is Lagos mainland former fed capital territory?
Is Ogba, Lekki, Eko Atlantic, Omole, etc former fed capital territory?

There is no place in the entire Igboland that is as developed as these places that didn't get any special benefit from FG.

The 13% derivation cumulative allocation of Bayelsa is higher than whatever Lagos gotten from FG as former fed capital, yet the entire cities in Lagos state are developed than anywhere you can think of in Igboland.

You can argue with those who don't know your region, but I tell you Ikorodu is better than Awka the capital territory of your richest region.

Lagos 2023 budget is 1.7 trillion while Anambra your richest state is 260m, can't you see the difference?

The number of quality estates in Ibadan alone is more than that of entire SE. Counting head to head development, SE will be in ration 3:10 when compared to SW in all indices of life including security, institutions, companies and human resources.

President Buhari has summed it all that you are dot. in the circle, the poorest region after NE in the entire Nigeria.

C'mon now we not talking about IGR.
This is all about the performance of the governors abi
Lagos should be included else you want to be a hypocrite here.

Ok let's do a small compilation

For every project carried out in ekiti , osun and oyo combined in the last 8 years I would name 4 carried out in abia ...yes abia

South west have absolutely the worse leadership in the south

Only a handful of Governors deserve any praise. Most are thieves. Wicked, corrupt thieves.
The money in these people's hands will solve Nigeria's problem and still leave enough savings. But the fools would prefer to buy properties all over the world. It's a pity.

That's what I keep telling people, SW have the worst set of leaders in south. Igbos are only loud and vocal in calling out their leaders in Nigeria which makes it to seem that our leaders are the worst. Abia state governor have carried out more projects than ondo, ekiti,osun governor and even attracted more FDI than those states combined. My only issue is that he is owing salaries.
Dave umahi have done more projects than any SW governor except Lagos with the least loan borrowed compared to any SW governor.

SE governor have borrowed the least loan compared to any southern governor in Nigeria.ugwuanyi and hope too have also done many projects.

Most SW governors use the media to hype theirselves.

When Sullivan was in power, he was among the best governor in Nigeria and never spent time and money in the media. He just did his work and changed Enugu silently.

Lagos - 1.7 t
Ogun - 470m
Oyo 310m
Ondo - 270m
Osun 160m
Ekiti 113m

Abia 157m
Anambra 159m
Imo 474m
Ebonyi 139m
Enugu 166m

Just compare 2023 budget of each state and tell me which state has potential to perform better.

Since you claim SE don't borrow to execute project and they have limited resources to execute project how will they accomplish development?

Mind you, the budget of individual states comes partly as a result of the governors performance especially in the area of internally generated revenue. Since SE generate the least IGR how would they increase their spending since their federal allocation is based on fixed percentage?

The way many of you reason is worse that illiterates

For instance, the budget of Lagos is more than the entire SE put together, the budget of Ogun state is more than two of SE states put together. That mean SW will have more money to spend in term of capital expenditure as well as in recurrent, those monies stimulates developmental and economic activities within that region.

If this is too difficult for the OP and his likes to see, then I can't help them

See umiah no governor in Nigeria comes close to him in terms of infrastructure absolutely none comes close

He collects less than 20% river allocation have done twice the flyover Wike did

New airport
New stadium
New university
New teaching hospital
New government house
New mall biggest in Africa
Too many roads to mention

Abia is the worst governor in South east I am putting him against 3 governor in South west yet no body would take up the challenge they know the truth

Cuz lagos should be a country. After over 70 years as a capital they still not growing fast enough even though they've got the highest number of investors, revenue and port system.

When i did my vehicle papers in delta cuz thats where i work and reside, i drove to lagos, i was pissed cuz the vio was trying to tell me nonsense. Trying to tell me my papers weren't valid. Cars with other state numbers renew their papers in lagos and its fine with other state but when u have a lagos number and renew in other state they wanna seek issues. Lagos should be a country on its own

You don't know what you are saying.

What's the budget of Ebonyi state?

What's the cost of projects executed by Umahi?

Am not saying Umahi didn't perform but comparing him with states like Ogun and Oyo state is share foolishness.

Ogun state Budget for 2023 is 470b, Oyo's 310b, and Ebonyi's 166b.

What is the total value of those infrastructures compared to that of Oyo?

Comparing 10 Okrika wears with 5 brand new designer wears is madness.

You are even comparing Ebonyi with Rivers state, do you know how much it cost Rivers state in road sanitation compared to Ebonyi which doesn't even have any establishment that handles that?

Now that it is not a country we should term it your village. I don't get the bullshit of Lagos shouldn't be call a state.

Talking about Port, does state government control and collect income from the port?

Is import duty a state revenue? Many of your are simply ignorant

Remove Lagos because of high revenue, but compare Osun and Ekiti to Delta and Akwa ibom that have been taking 13% oil revenue since 1975.

Umiah with little have been able to achieve more than any governor in Nigeria yet you think that's a bad thing

Trying to bring budge into argument of performance and trying to say higher budget equals higher performance is an insult to my intelligence

Name one project oyo governor have done that can be compared to ebonyi mall ..I dare you

Is Rivers fly over in anyway superior to ebonyi flyover ? Umiah has done close to 20 flyover ...yes 1,2,3,4.....20

It's obvious if umiah have rivers budget for 8 years no state would compare ebonyi

Can the law school wike built be compare to his university ?

Outside Lagos airport no airport in Nigeria can be compared to ebonyi airport

List the total number of Estates in entire SE and compare with the one in Ibadan alone.

The fact remains that Ikorodu is better than Awka the capital city of your riches state. You can only deceive those that haven't lived in the SE
