Yinmu. The OP added the previous year's Ebonyi 11-billion to arrive at that figure for the SE yet the SW still tops your region by almost 10-billion. Even if we're to add an extra 5-billion to the official Ebonyi numbers (which it it is highly unlikely that Ebonyi would attain), SW still tops y'all minus Lagos.

Oh just saw that now. I expect Ebonyi IGR to be more than 2014 figure of 11billion, they have been on steady clime, a 13billion figure will do for Ebonyi.

I think SE figures was marred by Imo, being the effect of allowing a Northerner like Okorocha with his Northern party to lead an Igbo state.

Imagine Imo now looking like a Northern state, with meagre 5billion IGR, on the chart, she is in an area dominated by Northern states. It was 8billion in 2014, and we all thought it couldn't get worst. now it's 5 billion, by the time Okorocha and his APC party is through with Imo, imo IGR will be 5000 naira , Even Abia despite having suffered under kleptomaniac in T.A Orji is posting fair IGR figures.

Imo people should be ashamed of themselves for bringing this shame to Igboland.

Very low but not bad based on Nigerian standard.

That figure puts SouthWest on third position for regional ranking
@
1. Lagos = 268,224,782,435

2. South South = 179,096,237,974

3. South West(excluding Lagos) = 71,728,635,492

4. South East Total = 62,726,688,189
_______________________________________

5. North West Total = 48,579,503,540

6. North Central Total = 38,781,494,308

7. North East Total = 26,117,872,322

No, SW if we subtract Lagos will be below SE
Remember that Ebonyi is yet to present her own figures, and from 2014 report, Ebonyi generated 11.09bn in 2014o going by that, Ebonyi figures when added to the SE current 62billion mark, will exceed the 71billion of SW, and that will be good enough for SE to topple SW sans Lagos.

Edo punching above her weight

Imo under APC a disgrace to Ndiigbo, she is now competing with Northern states on the bottom of the ladder
Expect Ebonyi to make the top ten, once she releases her figures

Kano heavily dependent on one Nigeria, look at how little they generate internally despite huge population, yet they receive lots of allocation from the FG.

Ogun benefiting immensely from proximity to Lagos.

Rivers underperforming too.

Akwa Ibom has exactly the same figure as Anambra, how possible is that?

A typo perhaps?

A40:
City are the softest targets. This not even EPL beef. The record shows thus. PSG are good but they aren't Madrid, Bayern or Atleti. That is even ignoring the injuries to their midfield

Your list of players do not scare a team with Müller, Lewandowski, Robben, Götze, Ribery in its ranks. Infact if City make the mistake of playing Yaya Toure for any extended period of time it would get really ugly for City.

If you think a 5-Time Champion who has played 5 straight semis is the weakest of the field be my guest. It is the kind of logic we have come to expect, from EPL fans

Anyway Enu o se Durella. The draws are almost here.

Bayern was the poorest of the teams in this semi finals, performance wise, they are only lucky to be in the semis, against any other team in the quarterfinals other than Benfica and Wolfsburg, Bayern would be at home by now.

I don't care about what Bayern did in the past, that's history and helps no one, but in this current season, Bayern is the weakest team in the quarterfinals matches that made it to the semis.

City would be licking their fingers at the prospects of playing this current Bayern team, they won a better Bayern team at Germany, not long ago.

Robben and Ribery are past their best, Lewandowski is not really inform,Gotze is a bench warmer that wouldn't even make first team at City. Muller is the only real player there.

Funny why people think that City are soft targets, lol!

I bet PSG thought the same too.

City are the dark horses of this season's champions league, the Unknown quantity.

With world class players like Aguero, De bruyne and Yaya Toure, who can produce match changing moments of brilliance out of nothing, it's foolhardy for anyone to think that City are Pushovers.

Infact as premier league fan, I think Bayern are the weakest of the teams in this season's semi finals and a match up with them will almost guarantee City a Champions league spot.

So yea, bring on the City- Bayern tie.

snika:
By unraveling these graves where Nigerian Army secretly buried innocent Biafran protesters last year, I thank God the genocide of the Nigerian Army against Igbos are being exposed by the Daura Secret Service themselves.


When someone disgraced Rochas at Chattam House telling him that he and the Nigerian government have killed and secretly buried innocent Igbo people in Igboland, many thought it was a fluke. We thank God that the DSS themselves are exposing these atrocities that are being committed against Igbos by Nigeria themselves.

I think the above is likely the truth.

We have another Ezu river scenario on our hands.

Those graves are likely to be those of innocent Igbo youths murdered and secretly buried by the DSS, perhaps someone discovered those graves and the devilish DSS rushed to the press to cover their asses by making a counter claim.

IPOB and MASSOB have never been violent groups which has been their bane, it doesn't take much to know that the DSS are liars.

if I don't want to be with you, then you have no business being with me.

On point!

ogmaskman:
There you go. So it's about the oil afterall. I thought your biafra will come up with something distinct and acceptable to all. Truth is you are no different from the pple you point your fingers at. It's still same animal farm setting. More like some pple wanting to Lord it over others.

Lol, which oil? The one at Obigbo, Anioma( Ukwuani), Egbema, Agulueri, Oguta, Ukwa West, Etche?

Enyia, wake up, Japan, Germany and Israel have no drop oil, yet are great nations.

Igboland has oil and natural gas in commercial quantities, yet our biggest asset like those nation's I mentioned, is our success driven, Islam free, educated human resources.

ogmaskman:
Ojukwu is the symbol of biafra. The feeling of biafra in every igbo man started after the failed bid to secede which came with its attendant loss of lives and properties. At that point the igbos decide to change the way they do things hoping that they will secede some day. Prior to the way and events that lead to it the biafran thing was not an issue persay.

Ojukwu is the symbol of Biafra only in the moronic minds of Igbophobic beings in the Babel.

Ojukwu was a vessel Easterners used to a great deal in our pursuit of independence out of the Babe.l, you are free to think otherwise, it's a free world

ogmaskman:
You are eyeing the Niger delta oil nah. Afterall you are already speaking for them in anticipation of the new country. Isn't That a parasitic attitude too.

What is Niger Delta? Is that the name of an ethnic group?

I would have you know that Niger Delta is an amorphous and volatile term with so many Native Igbo dialects speaking people who are of great interest to the rest of Igbo speaking people in SE.

By the way, what Oil are you talking about?

The Germans have Germany and Austria.
The Jews have Israel
The Japanese have Japan

All special groups known for high drive for success.

The Igbo lack an independent nation to bring to life their potentials, without being suffocated by envious vacuous groups in the Babel.
We can easily join that elite league, but we must first free ourselves from the Babel of envious groups.

ogmaskman:
He doesn't have a message. He preaches hate, bile and lies. The saner countries you spoke about did not resort to lies and propaganda to make their points. You speak of referendum like it's a ticket to biafra. biafra is a scam. Even Ojukwu died a Nigerian. He even contested election as a Nigerian. Are you more biafran than ojukwu. Do you think ojukwu ddnt think it thru bfor he decide to permanently bury the biafra struggle.

The Biafran struggle wasn't Ojukwu's to start with, so there is no way he could bury what he never birthed.

Biafra was and remain the movement of the Easterners, it's above individuals, that's why it outlived Ojukwu, and will certainly outlive Kanu and the rest if it's not actualized in their life times.

Ojukwu wasn't more Biafran than any Biafran, you are either Biafran or you are not.

irrespective of what happens the minorities and the Igbos will remain in Nigeria. The southwest and the north once fed the whole country with cocoa, agriculturr abd groundnut pyramid money. Only the Southeast is barren. They cant survive on their own so in order to avoid a refugee crisis in future where biafrans will rush down to Nigeria for help, they are better to remain in Nigeria

Southwest and the North, at no point in time fed the East.

The East always had lucrative Palm oil and Coal to drive her.

One Nigeria is the Yoruba and Northern dream, because their existence depends on it.

I am yet to see a parasite that wants out it's host in my life time. If Igbos are dependent on one Nigeria, we wouldn't be fighting to be independent of her, maybe it's time Yorubas and Northerners look at the mirror.

houstonia:
You normal so? Who tell you say Jim Ovia na Igbo, even Emefiele isn't.


I'm Igbo and can tell you that we don't claim people who aren't. Careful how you incorporate people into Igbo.

Jim and Emefiele can't even be understood by Igbo people if they'd have to speak your Ika dialect.

You need help. I don't think you would understand Ikwo, Ezza, Izzi, Ohafia dialects of Igbo, yet they are Igbo.

You have no right to tell anyone who is Igbo and who isn't.

Anyone that speaks an Igbo dialect and identifes with other Igbo dialects speakers is Igbo.

Btw, I understood every bit of Ika dialect Kesmakveli wrote on this thread, yet I haven't been to Ika before.

If you don't understand Ika, it's because you are not well travelled within Igbo speaking lands.
Anyone that understands Owerri dialect won't have problems with Ika, as they both seem to have similar structures.

That classic thread, the holy grail.

Someone here seem to be scared of being reminded of Agatu.

Nice one OP

*Attention*
Ladies and gentlemen we are on our way to FP pls buckle up, cis its gonna be a bumpy ride.

Make I buy land space here.

goodvision12:
you are very stupid for making such idiotic comment.

You are useless for not knowing that this is a public forum and that I am entitled to my own opinions on issues.

Now crawl back to what ever hole you crawled out from.

Attention seeker. They never learn.

don4real18:
I have common sense for sale..... I believe you really need one

If really you have common sense, you would know that it can't be bought or sold.

It's obvious you lack common sense.

Yujin:
In the known world, there are few nations that have been associated with perseverance and excellence. They are the Jews, Germans and Japanese. Many other ethnic groups fall short of joining this league because they lack perseverance. Excellence alone is not enough. At present, when you look at these nations, they actually rule over their immediate regions. They also have passed through the phase of devastation and humiliation but still emerged the giants they are today. Sadly, no African nation is among them not because we are blacks. Its all about perseverance. A majority of us lack that one factor for such lofty position. As at today, these nations are strategically found in the only four continents that are peopled and owned by the aborigines viz; Asia(Japan), MiddleEast(Israel), Europe(Germany) and Africa(?). Aborigines of the Americas and Australia have been subsumed in their lands. There are excellence driven nations(ethnic groups) in Africa but can they muster the courage to persevere and fill in the vacant slot up there? A point to grasp again is that these nations are not beneficiaries of the wealth of others. They don't have colonies to rip and build there economies. Keyword: excellence and perseverance. If you challenged, give in your best to bring glory to your nation(ethnic group) whilst not destroying others. Whatever you do let it be geared towards constructive change or improvements.
Respect to the Japs.

Germany, Japan and Israel have one thing in common, they are majority mono ethnic nations with unified language, cultural, political, religious and economic ideologies.

They are not tower of babels.

Closing the ENUGU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT will be the worst, & perhaps, the biggest political mistake that Buhari could make as president of Nigeria.
Buhari will do himself a lot of good by IMPROVING THE STATUS of the Airport, instead of this obviously Lagos-engineered POLITICAL crisis, designed to sustain the influx of Igbos & other tribes into Lagos, bringing development to Lagos, & PAUPERISING other regions.

Exactly, nothing stops Buhari and his hordes of Yoruba supporters from improving on what Stella has done for Enugu International airport in a space of 6years, which is more than they( Awusa/ Odua people) did for that airport between 1970- 2011.

This their cheap blackmail to close that airport under fictitious excuse of Stella misappropriation of funds will not be tolerated by sensible Igbos.

They must realize we are not fools. Government is all about continuity, GEJ and Stella did a poor job? Well fine and good, isn't this government supposed to be an upgrade on GEJ govt, they should lead the way by doing better work on the airport than GEJ and Stella did.

Well, Japan is mono ethnic, which gives the country a strong sense of nationhood and homogeneity needed for a unified political, economic and cultural ideologies which provides the stability, cohesion and Peace upon which Japan was able to build her greatness.

Japan is not a zoo filled with animals of different species, with divergent irreconcilable political, religious and cultural ideologies.

Awusa and Odua rulers had like 34years to fix Enugu Airport, but they didn't, why do they now pretend to care about the Airport? What the hell is going on here?

Stella and GEJ did more for Enugu international airport in 6years than Awusa and Yoruba rulers did in 35years, this fact is not lost on us.

Stella stole money budgeted for Enugu Airport? Well, without her, nothing would have been budgeted for that airport, everything would as usual be diverted to Lagos,this is why no sensible Igbo would give a thought to this Stella's alleged under use of funds meant to build Enugu Airport.

Now that she is not there, let's see Arewa and Odua people do better for the airport, until then, this Stella story won't sell to the average Igboman.

Now you know why the country is messed up and is set to benefit the stealing elites from all ethnic groups, and why Igbo elites will continue singing "one Nigeria".

Obi is yet to account for the Ezu river murder of Igbo youths.

Let him be running his mouth talking trash, maybe he thinks we have forgotten.

His day of reckoning is coming, already he is now a political non entity in Anambra, I pity Obidigbo.

Well, white racists seem not to be smiling over this news.

So much hate and bile.

Kudos to the family.

Must confess, felt happy when that Salah goal crept in, the look of pain and bewilderment on the faces of the Northerners that filled that Kaduna stadium was funny.

But OP, you sef no get joy o! You no even pity Nigerians o!

Nigeria is certainly not a zoo, zoos are organized and have rules in the western world.

Nigeria is a jungle. But it's ok, we are all feeling the heat, both those who want out of the jungle and those who embrace the jungle, non is free from the harsh conditions inherent in the jungle.
