Are you for real or is it that I can't read and understand again?cos my niece in nursery 2 won't sound like this,you need to learn how to recite the 36 states and their capitals ASAP,I'm sure you don't know it.jesu mere anyi ebele na obodo.

@ Topic How can Ebonyi be infamous when half or more of the nation eats Abakaliki rice?

How can you say half of the nation eats abakaliki rice

be truthful to urself, abakaliki rice is not even 2 % of the national rice

we import majority of our rice and even the national grown rice is Ofada rice which everyone is familar with, how can you now call abakaliki rice ?

Well I for one just saw that name OFADA for the first time in my life today but I've been hearing abakaliki rice since I was a kid(mind you I was born and bred in the north)take it or leave ebonyi is not on the list of infamous states in nigeria.

i actually thought AKWA IBOM with capital at Uyo and Gov. Godswill Akpabio would be among the unpopular state, but i now see that some states like Yobe, jigawa, Ebonyi, Osun, even Niger is not in anyway popular based on my location down south

What is abakaliki rice ? Is it like the imported ones ?

I served n Jigawa State in 1999, Gwaram Local government then Alhaji Saminu Turaki was the governor. It may not necessarily be an unknown state but you have started a campaign here to popularize your state

better !

Hey, atleast i know Jigawa well enough, Hadeija is cool as capital city.

There is something very small like a pinch of salt u can do to make jigawa popular as a state. Why can't u try a bomb. The nxt day u'll realise dt jigawa will b the world talk

I guess Yobe state, and most likely the least developed.

Nigeria: Masterweb Team Scores Governor Obi High




Masterweb team was on the ground in Awka August 25 to 27 for celebrations marking the twentieth anniversary of the creation of Anambra State. Anambra was created on August 27, 1991 by the military government of General Ibrahim Babangida. Our team operating as independent observers travelled across the state on August 25 inspecting projects by Governor Obi’s administration. The team began their trip at 9.00 am ending at 7.00 pm when it was getting dark and did not completely cover all the targeted projects. Our team returned to Anambra on August 30 after the celebrations to visit remaining projects.

It took us this long to file a report on our assessment of Governor Obi’s performance which we are rating “excellent”, because we employed both visual, common sense and scientific methodology in arriving our rating. We visually saw the projects and not a third party describing them to us, used common sense to assess them and scientific methods to cross-check assumptions and conduct accurate analysis.

In our analysis we compared Anambra State under Governor Obi to other states in Nigeria and not in the United States nor anywhere-else in the developed world. Comparison of a Nigerian city or state to any place in the developed world can not be made until the federal government delivers on her responsibilities. The infrastructural and power supply situation in Nigeria is shameful, to say the least. These are constraints among others, in the ability of a non-corrupt efficient governor doing his best.

In our statistical comparative analysis, the performance of Governor Obi was above the mean (average) and significantly too. Using a confidence interval around the mean of 3 standard deviations, Obi's score was determined to be statistically significant. This ranked him one of the best governors in the country.

In the analysis we rated the projects by Obi’s administration assigning each project a number between 1 to 10 (10 for excellent), adding up the total and deriving the mean value. We came up with mean values for other states from figures from members of our team and reliable contributors, in a survey organized for that purpose. These were the numbers we used in our statistical analysis.

In the next couple of days we will commence the release of our inspection reports and photos. Our reports will be on few projects at a time, to enable readers devote more time and attention on each project.

Anambra State is one of the names that can not be omitted in the history of Nigeria and Igboland. It has always been at the forefront of issues in Nigeria and South East Region. This is the reason why Anambra is among the places Masterweb has reportorial interest. Masterweb independently covered Anambra State Association-USA (ASA-USA) ‘09 Convention which held in Washington DC on October 24, 2009. In 2010, our team in conjunction with citizen reporters monitored (live) Anambra 2010 gubernatorial election. This year we were on the ground in Anambra touring the state and independently inspecting projects by Governor Obi’s government. Yes, eventually we touched down in Anambra to report the true situation of things in the state in terms of development. Masterweb is renowned for the authenticity and accuracy of her investigative, fact-finding and reportorial works. We do not operate based on hearsay, vindictive or tabloid reporting as some news media and authors have done in Anambra in the past.

Anambra is the second most populous southern state and third most populous state in Nigeria after Lagos and Kano so yeah it deserves a spot somewhere on the top.

Also many of Nigerias celebrities have originated from Anambra including Chinua Achebe.

i would not say kebbi is unpopular coz argungun fishing festival put it on the map but states like gombe, taraba, ebonyi, jigawa are sure unpopular.

Why do all these stupid states even matter?! It's not like there's anything worth discussion outside Lagos, Abuja and PH. The other places can just go hug a transformer and disappear from the face of the earth. Nobody cares about them!

Those are outdated and inacurate census estimates not actual censuses. Today Anambra has a population of 8.5 million http://www.igbofocus.co.uk/html/anambra_state.html

Do not trust everything on wikipedia

^^ Can you show any actual census figure stat or quote that has it that Anabra is the second most populous SOuthern State in Nigeria?

Preferably a link

http://www.geohive.com/cntry/nigeria.aspx

http://www.citypopulation.de/Nigeria.html

So show us your source

Anambra state population according to the states website 4,182,022

http://www.anambrastate.gov.ng/

Didn't I give you a source?

Anambra is one of the most densley populated places in Africa with over 1500-2000 people per square mile. It is also the second most populous Southern state.

Here's one source: In this source the 2005 estimate was given at 7.8 million http://www.ngex.com/nigeria/places/states/anambra.htm

Here's another one where the 2010 estimate for Anambra state was 8.5 million. http://www.igbofocus.co.uk/html/anambra_state.html

Don't believe everything on Wikipedia, anyone can log into it and change the data or worse put up false data as you were given.

My good ol' Abia state is very well known, for some awesome things and a host of unsavory reasons:

-Aba made merchandise: Not necessarily a bad thing if given the proper support from government to make original brands.

- Legendary Aba crime.

- Kidnapping: Even Mexicans talk say we take am too far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Orji Uzor Kalu: Such a noise maker, brought us unnecessary attention.

Orji Uzor Kalu's mother: Anyi atala ahuhu okpoo!

-Osisi ka Nkwu: RIP

-Bakassi boys: Our little gift to the South East, turned rogues.

- TA Orji: No comment.

- The Abia 5: Bunch of h.orny guys that just had to make a s.ex t.a.pe!!!! Guyz, for real

- PPA: Whatever happened to this little experiment?

At least, Enyimba FC still dey make small noise. We have had our spectacular moments, and there's loads of potential. So Hope dey.!!!!!

Taraba State I think,, Oh & Btw Admin Thanks For The Ban Lift Off !!!

Hmm, i didnt know where Jigawa was until I saw my NYSC posting letter. Infact I thought it was a mistake because i was expecting LG(Lagos ) omo na lie o, na JG (JIGAWA ).The only other info I had about Jigawa was because of primary school, where we learnt states and capitals.

For the bolded How old are you for making such comment, and when was the Jigawa created as state?

Are you for real or is it that I can't read and understand again?cos my niece in nursery 2 won't sound like this,you need to learn how to recite the 36 states and their capitals ASAP,I'm sure you don't know it.jesu mere anyi ebele na obodo.

Is Abakaliki in Thailand?

Agreed but Honestly Anambra is more well known for crimes and political upheaval , also the Okija shrine.

You will be shocked to know that most Nigerians do not know that Abakaliki is in Ebonyi State- that's for all of you shouting about Abakaliki rice!
