DEVELOPEMENT IS NOT BY MOUTH AND NAIRALAND PICTURES

Uppercut!

"I want to say that Yoruba land is a blessing to we the non-indigenes. Most of us who have become somebody today come to Yoruba land with nothing. If you are the most hard working or the most intelligent person in the world but the environment is not conducive, there is nothing much you can do. So, whatever achievement that non indigenes are making in the south west is not just because we are hardworking or that we are intelligent, conducive environment plays a major role. So, our host community has provided a conducive environment for us, we have to reciprocate by organizing ourselves so that there would be harmonious relationship between us and them.”

This man has spoken nothing but the truth here. Yorubaland been pulling migrants that can't make it in their enclave out of grinding poverty since the days of metusellah. All hail the GREAT Yorubaland, Land of Milk, Honey, and opportunities. Truth is like pregnancy that cannot be hidden even if you tried.

MasterChen:
It's not surprising that states like Kaduna, Edo, Kebbi and Akwa Ibom are getting more local and foreign investments than potor states

Between August and November, BUA commissioned a big ass cement plant in Edo state . Osinbajo commissioned a fertilizer factory in Edo state on the same day, a multi-billion Naira Wacot Rice Mill was commissioned in Argungu, Kebbi State, OLAM $150 million integrated feed mill, breeding farm, and hatchery was commissioned in Kaduna, a N500m food processing factory was commissioned in Jigawa

Dangote is already planning to build a ($450m) sugar factory in Niger state

Mind you, these are all landlocked states that don't even have as much human resources as SE states

They're waiting for FG to build seaport in landlocked Onitsha at the same time lying that ports in nearby SS aren't working even though evidence points to the contrary

That's what you get for being senseless

You just said the koko. They would like to have the rest of the world believe that their region is the bastion of development and prosperity, yet they paradoxically scream marginalization against the fg for failing to develope them, and can't come together to build basic infrastructure.

Ogun state had to borrow heavily to fix the federal roads that criss-cross its domain (considering that it is an inevitable/unavoidable gateway into Lagos from any part of the country) coz the state government knows that its industrialization drive can't be toyed with, owing to its strategy of maximizing its proximity to Lagos.

Till today the fg has not yet paid back the over N200-billion naira it admits to owing the state as refund for fixing those federal roads, but you don't hear the state government whining about marginalization like they prefer to do. Rather the state is moving forward and even opening up new highways to accommodate it's projected growth.

They should continue waiting for fg to fix their region while others are moving on to bigger things.

'Eziokwu. So our famous 'Worldwide developers' are finding it tasking to manage and keep the few industries they have in alaigbo viable and alive, yet they are busy developing China, South Africa, Indonesia, etc?? Ojukwu would be turning in his grave over this piece of news. Odiegwu oooo.

hornyofife:


work hard and achieve success and not pull others that are succeeding down...that is what you are doing..

show us pictures of you rustic towns to counter push your argument instead of telling us which is onitsha or not..

like they say picture tells a thousand stories....win us with your afonjaland picture...ashiwaju mumu

Lmao. This coming from someone who has to come to my region just to see beautiful skylines laced with skyscrapers. We've beaten this topic to death already dude. Don't you get it? Most people aren't buying this una display of foolishness. No pictures here wey una never show before. SW get aerial views (like the ones below) that beat anything y'all have in that cursed land of yours. Visit skyscrapercity and learn. Ibadan alone has more infrastructures than the entire SE combined. #Fact. This has long been established. No contest. We no be una mates. That's why no one's taking y'all seriously. Unfortunately I don't have the time to be putting up pix like you loafers, but I will still drop enough to shame you village people that we are not mates.

These Onitsha pictures looks like lekki, now I believe Igbos developed Lagos.

Stop fooling yourself guy. Here's the FULL picture of Onitsha. From this single picture you can see the lenght and breath of the entire place. Brown roofs everywhere. No cosmetic s or sugarcoating with selective pix.

Ebonyi doesn't have a big market yet is more developed than Anambra. See Anambra and compare. Followed by Enugu

Ibadan slum city, a city with three skyscrapers in middle of slums, when you enter Coco house almost 92% of flats in Coco house is unoccupied same with remaining two, what's the need of building skyscrapers when they flats will be empty, no city in Southwest can be compare to Onitsha in highrises and they are all occupied by tenants

This Is Onitsha skyline no city can beat Onitsha in highrises in your slum enclave.

Yinmu. I have already showed you the real pictures of those places you are showing. Why are your pictures tinted? It's coz you people are trying to hide the brown roofs so you decided to TINT the pictures. I have already showed you the REAL pix of those place. I will show you again sef for free. Your propaganda has failed. See brown roofs everywhere for a so-called city that was 'built from scratch'.

oboy see how you selected pics of some part of anambra that you want and then selected pics of ibadan that you want just so that you will please yourself. Talk of being biased. We all know what 90% of ibadan looks like. Stop deceiving yourself.

You should be thanking me for exposing your glorified ghettos to the world. If I don't, you people won't coz you peddle falsehood as though your entire region is better than Dubai, when in actual fact it's decaying and erosion ravaged -- abi why else are you all fleeing the place? Look, Ibadan people are proud of their heritage of old urbanized settlements which you all in your foolishness use in trying to mock them. They even flaunt it coz they're not out to prove shyt to you people. That's why you see them upload such pictures all over the internet. Yet the same Ibadan has more infrastructure than you entire region. The developed part of the city are larger than 10 Enugu cities. #Fact. It's a blend of the old and new. I said it already that till today you people are yet to have any skyscraper that can match Cocoa House in your entire region, after 50-years of its commissioning. Isn't that a sad shame for so-called 'developers'??

More expatriates and foreigners reside in Ibadan than any other city in the SE. #Fact. It's population keep soaring at a rate that your cities combined can't match, inspite of all your campaigns of calumny against her. Your fathers did not 'develop' Ibadan into what it is today so you can't claim any credit for it. Ibadan people are just not chestbeaters like you lots.

Isn't it ironic that in spite of all the derision you people direct towards ibadan and the SW, your people still speak with their feet and head towards there in droves in search of economic sustenance? In other words, your hype don fail woefully.

We are not the ones posting pictures of GRAs and upscale neighbourhoods in our region. Nope. You guys are, yet your people are still fleeing your region. Who's fooling who?

Ibadan is world biggest slum city

Read UN- report

Three main slum type in Ibadan

1, Inner city slums

2. Squatting areas

3. Unplanned outskirts

That's Ibadan, Yoruba heritage.

You keep exposing your ignorance and stupidity with each attempt you make at sounding sensible. Me sef I sabi Onitsha like the back of my testicles. The same Ibadan you're trying so fruitlessly to run down keeps outperforming all your regional cities in virtually all internationally reputed indices of developmental projections. While Onitsha is getting ranked amongst the worst polluted cities in the world, which explains why people have to flee those parts coz the quality of life therein must suck if you're rated number 1 most polluted city in THE WORLD!!

Even Nigerian data refutes all your hype, be it in terms of IGR, human capital development, poverty rate, industry, you name it.

Cocao House is still standing, and your father didn't build it. Our CBD is still standing, with Femi Johnson glasshouse, Unlike you people that LIE about your region, showing only the relatively ok parts as if your entire region is paved with gold, yet una no gree remain for SE!

[b]YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT UP TILL NOW YOU LOTS ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP AN AREA THAT IS BARELY THE SIZE OF OYO STATE.

Yet you have the nerve to talk about 'developing' other people's lands??

Op, You people must be under some sort of curse. Are you the only non-Yorubas in Lagos, that your obsession with coveting that space is this frantic??

Even without oil money or onitsha and Aba style markets, or ever being FCT, Ogun is already attracting no less than 75% of Nigeria's FDI, pulls in more IGR than all your SE states combined, and is now the defacto industrial hub of the entire country.

Without 'oil money' ibadan is still reckoned to be one of Africa's fastest growing cities with one of the highest purchasing power in the country, competing with the likes of Lagos, PH, and Abuja, while all your SE cities and states were missing in action. Are you seeing a pattern?

Why isn't any of your SE states making these sort of impacts upon all the noises you lots make about 'developing everywhere?? Abi we're you people cursed to never develop like others??

Why is it that it is only noise you people are known for making?

Look here, even up till today, una still no get standard CBD or single skyscraper in the entire SE, more than 50-years after Ibadan commissioned the first one in the entire country (check it out below as it still towers above the city even today). You people still have to come all the way to the SW (and more recently Abuja) to see skyscrapers!! It's not our fault that you people chose to flee and refused to develop your region!!

The locations in the pictures attached below aren't Marina CBD in Lagos, but Dugbe at Ibadan. With that we have demonstrated flashes of greatness infrastructurally even outside Lagos, Yorubas built that without oil money, please show us anything similar that your own people have done in your entire region or STFU!!!

Our forebears and their descendants built everything, both old and new in Ibadan, without oil money, and the infrastructures are still standing till this day to attest to that. WHILE YOUR PEOPLE ARE STILL FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP AN AREA THAT IS BARELY THE SIZE OF OYO STATE. Already, your cities are getting rundown with brown roofs everywhere, and looking worse than our old settlements, inspite of y'all having to rebuild after the civil war. Yet you have the nerve to talk about 'developing' other people's lands??

BeijinDossier:
So to post where ordinary folks live in Osun state now big for you guys. Lemme tell you, you don't have anything on Anambra. I wanted you to post where the ordinary folks live in Osun because that would have been an own-goal. That would mean turning the trigger on yourself. LOL

E pain am. You are a foool chino. Na the same kind ghosts and masquerades (not 'ordinary folks') wey dey live for those brown roofed Anambra pictures I posted earlier dey live for the Osun areas I also showed you. Anuofia.

BeijinDossier:
Ogbeni, your first and 2nd pictures are not even Anambra to start with. I only asked you guys to show us where Osun ordinary folks live but you are already spoiling for e-war. I haven't posted bad pictures of your villages yet but you are already jittery and spoiling for fight. No be fight just show us.

Yinmu. All those pix are confam Anambla pictures. Look, there's nothing you people can show about brown-roofs anywhere in the SW that you haven't already regurgitated countless times so go ahead . But me sef get assorted arsenal of Anambra pictures that will embarrass you fakesters.

BeijinDossier:
What are you even yapping about? You are busy showing old pictures to divert attention. Show us equivalent to this. The truth which you don't want to accept is that Osun state is a rural state filled with mud houses and rustic roofs. Show us where ordinary people live in Osun state




Show an area view of Osun and not those carpenter made roads/flyover.

Even the buildings in the pix you attached have brown-roofs, so they cleverly tinted the picture with a pink/purple overlay to hide them. I have enough Anambra pix to deflate your lies so save your crap for your gullible ilk. I've showed you enough birdeye/drone views of Osun to prove my point.

More Anambra (See brown roofs everywhere) :

BeijinDossier:
Hehehehe

Don't divert the discussion because Anambra has more flyovers and infrastructures. Stop jumping from pillar to post. For the records, Osun is a rural state where it's houses are mostly mud houses that litter Oshogbo. Ogun is another dilapidated state with mud houses and rustic roofs. So those useless schools and mountain of debt in Osun is what you call development?

Don't digress, below is Anambra area where the poor and middle class live, now show us where the poor and middle class live in Osun State. Let us do it with pictures than gibberish.

[s][/s]

You are only fooling yourself with all this GRA pictures and obosi ghettos . Lol. Everybody knows Anambra is a big market village with brown roofs everywhere. All the 3-storeys built after the war have developed brown roofs already. Lmao. The best interchange which I have attached below was built by FG, while the Osun state that gives you people perpetual nightmares is building one by itself. Obiano's overhyped substandard and flyovers are already falling apart, and look ugly as fvck. You can't compare those eyesores to what is obtainable in Osun. You lots should be ashamed that Osun of all places is outperforming your state on several fronts.

See as AY neck long. Nobody ugly oooooo. Na money no dey dia hand.

SouthEastFacts:

If this is what you call refutation, then I need to seriously question our education system. Attack the points raised in this point to declare them invalid, not derailing the post to divert attention.

Am going to respond to you, and at the same time educate you.

I don't know where you got the idea that SE has more brown roofs than Ogun and Oyo put together. Ibadan without doubt is. Even Business African Magazine once referred to it as '...the city with brown rusty roofs'.

Do you know what appointing Enugu as 100RC means? it means Enugu can now act as a model to global cities seeking for urban resilience.

For a city to make the 100RC, it must score high in these four dimensions:
1. Health and wellbeing
2. Economy and Society
3. INFRASTRUCTURE and ENVIRONMENT
4. Leadership and strategy

Yinmu. Talk is cheap. Enugu state is a glorified village of which only a small fraction (probably no more than 2 local government) out of the entire state is urbanized/'developed', and that's by SE standards anyway, while the rest are rural areas (dude, I have enough drone shots to prove this). You can Quote me anywhere. In otherwords the 'city' is just too small to even be considered robustly developed let alone the entire state. Outside that tiny 'city', the rest of the state is an overgrown village. It's an insult to compare your enugu village to Ibadan. You can remove no less than 20 Enugu 'cities' from within Ibadan. Ibadan has 5 mega malls (compared to just the Polo Park mall in Enugu), 4 Cinemaplexes (compared to the one in Enugu), arguably the best and most equipped teaching hospital in the entire country, is home to way more multinationals and international brands that don't even exist in the entire SE, let alone Enugu (I'm talking about the likes of KFC [which has 4 outlets], ColdStone, Dominos Pizza, e.t.c). Enugu has no leader o, guy. Even your own SE kinsmen would agree with me on that, considering your 'leader's show of shame episode during the fulani herdsmen attacks on his people. Enugu is a civil service state so you aren't fooling anyone with your crap. Aba and Onitsha can brag a bit about having considerably modest economic output but certainly not Enugu.

2. You said SE has the lowest purchasing power using internet usage as a guage. Do you really know what purchasing power is? You need to be sent back to school. According to World Internet Stats, Nigeria has the 8th largest internet user, while Germany 11th and UK 13th. This doesn't mean Nigeria has higher purchasing power than Germany and UK. China occupies 1st, India 2nd and US 3rd. Using bank deposit mobilization is better measure for purchasing. According to the CBN, Anambra is 3rd largest in deposit mobilisation, behind Kano (2nd) and Lagos (1st). Don't forget Lagos' population according to UN is about 21 million, Kano over 13 million. Anambra is just 5 million.

If you take the ratio of the deposit to population, you will see Anambra will have the highest purchasing power.

Dude, I just gave you data from specific and different sources (telcos, euromonitor, business insider, and fraym) that clearly show that your region is an economic featherweight, in spite of your hype and baseless posturing. Those stats are from non-Nigerian/credible sources that can be VERIFIED. You on the other hand have failed to refute any of them. And yes, those voice and internet usage data are credible measures of purchasing power because they are consistent with the other data that I presented on cities with the biggest markets AND fastest consumer spending in sub-saharan africa. 'Recharge cards' have become basic necessities and valid measure of purchasing power and consumer spending. Pray tell what these Anambra 'high bank depositors' are spending their money on that isn't getting captured or reflected in their local economy to catch the attention of data analysts?? You even unwittingly (and probably) under-represented the state's population in your attempt to show that it has a relatively under performing economy, but in any case, why is this purported high purchasing power of Anambrarians not reflecting in the state's VAT, neither is it reflecting in the state's IGR? The fact that some traders at Onitsha main market make multiple bank deposits in a day doesn't translate to a 'high purchasing power', mr. okoro.

Anyhow, I wasn't really expecting you to put up any credible rebuttal (besides that weak and tired bank deposits crap -- it's interesting that Anambra, in spite of all the noises and hype you all make about the state, is yet to make a debut on the international scene ).

3. You said 5 Nigerian cities make top 25 biggest market in Africa. You got that from this www.nigerianewsonline.com.ng/3-nigerian-cities-make-euromonitors-top-10-fastest-growing-african-cities-list/

Do you really know what consumer market is? I guess you don't.

Projection was made from 2015-2030 to identify cities that will have the largest consumer market in 2030. Population growth was used to identify the cities. The size of your population is the size of your consumer market. Lagos' consumer market is 21 million while Anambra is 5 million.

Expected food consumption in 2030 was used to make the ranking. Food consumption is used as a proxy for the consumer market.

In 2030, the populations of Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan and PH are expected to expand rapidly, hence an increase in food consumption.

Dude, Lagos didn't even make the cut on the 'fastest growing consumer markets in sub-saharan' africa list, hope you noticed that? Anambra has the largest population of any SE state, yet Onitsha its most populous and commercial town, didn't make the cut on any of the lists I referenced. Benin city made the cut on the top 35 Biggest markets list (at #32). Where is this elusive Anambra purchasing power that caused the likes of Delta, Kaduna, and Edo state inhabitants to have more money to spend on recharge cards than almighty Anambra If Anambra people are spending so much (mind you, if you aren't spending how will your local economy be stimulated, how will money circulate?), where are they spending the money? What are they consuming that isn't getting captured or attracting the notice of data analysts??

4. You want to measure economic viability using private investments in manufacturing in Ogun and Ikeja. A look at your figure shows that that investment was made 2014, 3 years ago and worth 416.86 bn NGN.

Anambra government alone in the past 4 years attracted 5 billion USD worth of foreign investments. That is about 1.8 trillion NGN in today's exchange.

Google that up pls.

Guy, this right here is the biggest bullshyt of all. Obiano's political opponents within Anambra have challenged him to prove the veracity of his $5-billion dollar worth of investment claim, and his best retort through his handlers was that it's based on previously signed MOUs that are awaiting execution. In otherwords, they're non-existent investments that can't be verified. There's absolutely NO WAY that a state like Anambra would attract that much in investments and the entire country wouldn't feel the impact let alone the natives of the state (perhaps in your twisted mind, you're confusing $5-billion with the scandalous $5-million Ugu export claims). The Ogun investment -related report I cited was sourced from MAN (Manufacturers Association of Nigeria) and the figures were for half of that year (2014) -- the state actually attracted a total of N690-billion in manufacturing sector investments in 2014 [ https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/ogun-state-attracted-n690bn-investments-2014/ ]. The previous year (2013), the same Ogun led other zones with about 60 percent of investments into the manufacturing sector, closely followed by Oyo/Ondo/Osun/Ekiti and Kano (Sharada/Chalawa).[ https://guardian.ng/business-services/industry/nigeria-s-industrial-sector-in-perspective-by-man/ ] In 2015, Ogun repeated the same feat when (according to MAN) it similarly attracted 69% of the investments into that sector. And according to a british envoy, Ogun attracts 75% of FDI that comes into Nigeria. http://punchng.com/ogun-attracts-75-fdi-into-nigeria-uk-envoy/

Meanwhile, in the SE:

---

---

---

Innoson last year attracted 1 billion USD FDI from China to be invested in digital media. That is about 360 billion NGN.

www.herald.ng/innoson-motors-chinese-investors-invest-1bn-ict-sector/

Abia state government this year attracted 1.5 billion NGN FDI from China to be invested in shoe manufacturing. That is another 540 billion NGN.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/04/chinese-firm-build-1-5bn-shoe-factory-aba/

The three investments worth a whooping 2.7 trillion NGN, and we didn't make noise about them.

Dude, those investments you listed are yet to materialize. They were more or less MOUs . You must be from Anambra coz you and that Obiano guy have a penchant for deceptively appropriating MOUs as though they're actual investments. Same thing applies to the Aba chinese shoe one you also touched on -- a kobo of that proposed investment has not yet landed in Nigeria let alone alaigboland. Your own people are already crying to their Ikpeazu to desist from inviting the chinese into Aba shoe industry coz they're afraid of competition. [ https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/06/aba-shoe-makers-jittery-chinese-shoe-magnets-investment-aba/ ] Look, when these investments arrive, they'll certainly be captured and we'll all be here to celebrate them.

Are you afraid of our incoming report on that Fiscal Sustainability Index? You are already showing that.

I wish we can just write on Lagos debt profile. We really need to put an end to some chest beating.

Rmxr I have seen who you sent to refute the facts. Try harder next time.

Biafraishere what do you think?

#Thanks

Dude, you think too highly of yourself. Lagos debt profile that you're masturbating over hasn't stopped your people from emigrating to Lagos and the rest of the 'indebted' SW en masse for economic sustenance. Until it does, you are just blowing hot air coz even your own folks ain't buying what you're tryna sell. #Real Talk.

Rmxr:
It's like you people think we are all stupid on this forum lol. You can't be throwing figures around and expect us not to ask questions.

Well, they really must think that they're dealing with stupid folks on here. I mean, how else do you explain a people that wanna claim credit as 'developers' of other parts in one breathe, and cry/lamenting about 'marginalization' and underdevelopment of their own tiny enclave on the other hand?? Whatever happened to 'charity begins at home'? If there was any truth to their fables, that SE region ought to be a mini-Dubai by now in terms of infrastructure and development. But instead, na dilapidation, capital flight, and brain-drain.

Rmxr:


Someone needs to pen a refutation of all the nonsense the mumu wrote lol before they start passing it as facts. There are too many zobos in the post and trust some Yorubas that don't think to believe them you don't even need to verify to know everything he wrote is rubbish. They just don't make any sense Cc AshiwajuFoward scholes0

Guy, no point 'refuting' anything coz it's actually a failed attempt at damage control. All the balderdash contained in this thread amounts to no more than hot air coz the SE is still the least viable region of the federation. #Fact. Heck, the OP himself would have a hard time getting any of his more ambitious brethren/kinsmen who's sights are set on emigrating to the Best/West side in pursuit of a better and more secure future, with this load of crap. I'll only say a few things to highlight how ignorant this OP is.

If they (the SE folks) have to scream 'marginalization' and endlessly engage in cajoling exercises to coerce the FG to come build a 2nd Niger Bridge (an undertaking that one or two SE states are capable of executing), then abeg who's fooling who? The SE is barely the size of Oyo state, yet these same people who claim they had to rebuild their enclave 'from scratch' after the civil war, are finding it super difficult to develop that tiny space, and already have more more brown roofs in their entire region than Oyo and Ogun states put together.

That region has the lowest purchasing power -- I have provided verifiable data from the telcos that show that in spite of all their noise and empty chestbeating about how 'super-duper' they are, they still fail to live-up to their own hype data after data. Their region performs very poorly against even some Northern states, yet they still throw fits in the face evidence, and go on about being 'the richest' tribe in Africa' in spite of all the mountain of evidence . They can barely afford to recharge their mobile phones Data after data, they are missing in action -- as if the region doesn't even exist sef. And I mean every economic data of reckoning. Bottomline is that if you're an igbo youth who has more ambition beyond become a trader at Aba or Onitsha, you have no other option than to emigrate from the SE. #Fact

https://www.businessdayonline.com/ogun-ikeja-top-manufacturers-investment-destinations-in-2014/

Ogun, Ikeja top manufacturers’ investment destinations in 2014

While Ogun, which is now Nigeria’s industrial hub, recorded N377 billion worth of investments within the period, Ikeja returned investments worth N39.86 billion.

Ogun State’s represents 78 percent of N483 billion worth of investments made in the whole of the manufacturing sector within the period under review, while Ikeja shares 8.3 percent.

“This has revealed that the majority of manufacturing investments were directed towards Ogun industrial axis, which consists of Otta, Agbara, Ibafo/Mowe and Shagamu industrial areas,” said MAN, in its latest January to July 2014 economic review.

....

The data further show investments in Kano/Sharada/Challawa as N19.75 billion and those of Oyo/Ondo/Osun/Ekiti as N19.2 billion within the period under review.

Anambra/Enugu that had N5.5 billion worth of investments.
while those of Imo/Abia were estimated at N309 million.

These datas are available and accessible to serious investors, including their own kinsmen, looking for where to invest their money. You can't give what you ain't got. Matter of fact, I know of some igbos that prefer to launch their products in the SW than the SE, for this same reason. A tech company, owned by an U.S trained SS native, recently raised a shitload of money from venture capitalists for expansion, and they listed Lagos, SW and SS as their target markets. -- NO SE, as if they don't exist. Obviously this company was acting on reliable data about demographics and purchasing power for their products and services.

The SE is just not viable economically, simple! And nothing else encapsulates this fact more than the steady and unrelenting stream and emigration of able-bodied Igbos from the SE to other parts of the country in search of economic sustenance.

They can try to spin the whole 'fiscal sustainability index' report to window-dress their pitiful situation but the reality on the ground is glaring to the blind sef. If there's any truth in the crap the OP is trying to sell eh... it wouldn't be trying to so hard to convince us. Heck, this subject matter has been thrashed on this very forum times without number so I personally no longer feel the need to engage in back-and-forths over this sort of nonsense.

We are talking about half of Anambra, the second smallest state in Nigeria by landmass, being swallowed up by menacing gully erosion (according to your own governor and paymaster), and you here trying to compare that to isolated incidents of erosion occurrence in Ogun state that is at least 3 and half times your state in size?? Why do you reason out of your arse?? Why??

Biety:
No one should take that anambralastborn mumu seriously.
As we are typing, many igbos living in igboland are thinking about nothing than how to relocate to yoruba land.

Na bad-belle go finish them. Obiano recently went on record to say that Anambra stands the risk of losing half of the state to erosion within the next 10-years if something isn't done fast. Instead of them to focus on how to mitigate such calamity, na Yoruba people dem dey obsess over.

From next year Nigerias will hear another name for arms been given to different IDPs in west, last election was stomach infrastructure.

Smh. Ebonyi and Abia IDPs are still there crying and begging for attention, yet you keep obsessing over your imaginary IDPs in the SW. You Anambra egotistical morafockas talk a lot of crap about how rich you are, why not extend some milk of kindness toward your Ebonyi and Abia brethren? Oh, I forgot, according to Chino, they are lesser igbos.
