The South-west Will Leave Other Regions Far Behind If Nigeria Separates by bolaayenimo: 2:50pm On Apr 05, 2024 |
I have this strong belief that the unity of Nigeria is holding down the South West. If the three regions of North, East and West is allowed to become independent countries, the West will leave other regions behind in many areas. Though i agree the East may do well in business (economy) while the North will do well in agriculture.. The West will survive in all indices 21 Likes 9 Shares

Explain how the SW will do better than other region? Remember that if Nigeria divides today, the economic monopoly SW enjoys as Nigerian commercial city will be broken. First, you'll depend on the ND for crude, SE for processes gas, and North for food and agricultural products. The bulk of Nigerians non-oil revenues come from custom, 70% of imported cargoes in Nigeria terminates in the East, so that revenue source will be seriously affected. Already, SE has the highest percentage of richest household population, the most literate population, lowest number of out of school children, and urbanization. Again, Lagos is a trading powerhouse and people from the eastern part of the country dominate that sector. If you remove Lagos, SE has the largest regional economy (Imo is the largest state economy after Lagos and Anambra is the largest non-oil state economy) and if you add Igbo lands in Rivers (the third largest state economy) and Delta (the fourth largest state economy), the economy will be far bigger than SW's. For me, I don't think SW will do better than SE. If SE that survived a bloody war and still catch up and leapfrog SW despite all the monopolies the region enjoys, I don't see an independent SW doing better than an independent SE. The only people that will even rival SE is an independent North, if they put their acts together. Kano alone does #20 billion daily trade volume and key to controlling trade in the sub-sahara. 58 Likes 4 Shares |

bolaayenimo:South West would be the worst hit in the first 10 to 25 years Long term you might be correct but short term? The recession you would experience would be unprecedented in Nigeria Is housing market collapse due to law demand and rapid sell off? Drop in ports activity Drop in aviation activities? Relocation of companies owned by Nigerians from other region? Massive capital outflow would be bloody The oil industry relocation alone would do harm Banks asset would be reduced by 70% minimum Oh please 31 Likes 4 Shares |

The western region was ahead of others before the coup that truncated the 1st republic. I don't expect that will change if we revert back to regional or Nigeria splits. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/10/independence-what-made-western-nigeria-tick-in-the-first-republic/ 44 Likes 4 Shares |

Alexis11:Are you minding that guy. He was lying with so much with confidence. SW is the next oil rich region after SS. In addition, SW has the richest household and it's economy leads in internal revenue generation as well. The reason why the SE who move to SW to do business succeed is because of the spending power of the SW, else they would have stayed back in their region and sell to themselves. 9 Likes 3 Shares
