What's this and what has this got to do with the reality the stats provided?

The stats are based on a reference point,do you really know what they based the stats on.

Instead of just waiting for people to tell you things find out urself.
Can you really say yoruba interior is developing based on ur own personal assessment?

totit:
I repeat : absolutely, no ibo state made the fastest-growing, developing state but the same Ibadan the OP is orally looking down on.

What an irony of life.

Yoruba when una go learn?
The whiteman is telling you he discovered river Niger,when it's in your backyard

ElSudani:
Not true, this is why we need leaders who are smart and who will put the interests of his/her people first.

The truth is that China was already deep into local industry in its various interiors before foreign and concentrated industry, which is similar to what the igbos are doing,Yorubas are using European model which doesn't seem to be working

What igbos really lack is direct access to the sea,if they had it,Ogun state will be no match,that's the truth

ElSudani:
And you think the Chinese industrialization was started by the Chinese alone? You all need to read and broaden your understanding of how the world around you works.

Blackman they different, you won't get what they got,the Blackman as to very very on top his game,they all want you down

babyfaceafrica:
How is that your problem!

I want the success of the Blackman, the Yoruba have huge role to play

ElSudani:
The Chinese miracle started from the Guangdong region of China. Bavaria anchored the economy of Germany just as California continues to hold the forte for U.S.A.
Don't worry yourself, Ogun state is currently the most industrialized state in Nigeria. It will get to the other states.

Ogun industrialisation is actually Indian,Chinese,Lebanon industry, because of Lagos. Build industry for the local Yorubas in villages,this will liberate the Yoruba

The Yoruba fascinations about LAGOS or Ibadan is a costly development strategy I think.

The Yoruba are not developing their rural areas at all,they are fixated on only the cities.

This attitude is even reflected in Lagos were the more traditional Yoruba areas are neglected while the city proper is constantly developing.

The Yoruba have this attitude of copying the Europeans alot which is a big weakness in my opinion. They want to be like the whitemans, have big cities,but they struggling to achieve it which is costing them a heavy and serious neglect of their rural areas.This is probably why Yoruba villages and local towns are grossly undeveloped.

Yorubas should engage more in rural investment, attract it's people back to their local towns and villages.

More investment should be put into rural areas in southwest.

The nigerdeltans are also very guilty of this too

Moh247:
Like all countries once conquered by either Fulani empire, Othman empire, Roman Empire, and the British Empire.... Each Nationality and countries that formed the then British Empire all later had the chance to fully be autonomous and decide to some little degree how best they governerned them self

Don't forget British conquered Nigeria after over 70 years of war and negotiation, and after queen Victoria's reign serious countries like United States, Indian, China/ Hong Kong fought and rebeled against British Empire, while Nigerians simply sold out cheaply and bought the illusion of one indivisible Nigeria

Exactly what am saying,the Nigerian people didn't resist the British again after being defeated,especially the major tribes of Nigeria, the real kings that initially resisted were defeated, afterward the major tribes fell like a pack of cards,so cheaply for the British lie of one Nigeria.

It's the same till today,people continue to be deceived by this one Nigeria, but Nigeria is actually nothing,it's a British failed project, unfortunately the indigenous owners of the Nigeria land area can't see ,that they are living a lie.

Nigeria can only work for the British, it cannot work for the indigenous people.

The problem of black people was and is still lack of being lettered,they didn't know how to read and right,so didn't know that with patience over time,they cud independently build their respective kingdoms,they were looking up to the whiteman to save them that's why they quickly bought into his project called Nigeria.

Nigerians still do that today,constantly comparing themselves to developed countries, they want to get developed too quickly, thereby swallowing every recommendation and project of the developed nations( whiteman) today.

If blacks especially Nigerians look inward,to their respective regions, Nigeria will develop fast,

Instead of developing Lagos or Abuja,which are British Nigerian project,

Nigerians should look into developing their villages instead,build the necessary quality schools,roads,housing etc in your village, instead of focusing on Lagos or Abuja,this what the various governors should be doing,instead of focusing on the Nigerian state created capitals,focus on the rural communities, the villages,cos that's were the real African is that is what African governments are failing to do,which is not making Africa to develop, they focus on what the colonialist created for them not on their indigenous lands were the real Africa is

Moh247:
The people of their respective province, constituency and region that voted them to the then parliament of the British Nigeria, including the king's that are parliamentarians at the then house of Lords and kings


As at then each king's represent their people like Senators we have today and people also voted their own representative under a British designated Governor General

You should understand that most kings at that time descended from kings imposed by the British. The real kings of the lands were deposed through war eg oba of Benin and Lagos,even northern Fulani kings were deposed through war,the latter British imposed kings were British puppets and the si called elections for the so called founding fathers were a sham.mind you people cud hardly read or write English then,people were uneducated in European governance systems .people didn't know what was going on,they just towed in line in submission .

Moh247:
Cock and bull story blaming imaginary Lord Lugard and British your fellow human


British Colonial Nigeria ended in the 50s with Anglophone Cameroon still in the Union

By 1955 to 59 Sarduna, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikwe among other Nationalist went for the so called Nigeria with its new constituition while Southern Cameroon choose to leave with Cameroon

That is what i am trying to get at,who made obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe sarduana etc representative of the people,?

Nigeria was essentially a British project initiated entirely by them .

They forced independent kingdoms into submission to give away their sovereignty to their project.

The people and even kings of virtually all independent kingdoms in Nigeria never wanted this project,most kingdoms were defeated in war,the true kings of the lands were deposed and exiled.

Puppets kings were put in place.
These puppet kings essentially selected the children of the cronies to become the new educated African elite.

The problem is when it's said independence was in 1960,these people negotiated the terms of independence. Do we really know the terms and conditions at which independence was given?

Nigeria didn't fight war of independence, therefore there must have been negotiated contracts and agreements for independence to have taken place.They wasn't even protests like in India.

Which brings me to my main point:
Who then is a Nigerian when majority of Nigerians true independent kings and kingdoms and it's people never really were involved in the agreement for Nigeria.

The so called founding fathers, who were they really,did they really represent the people? Especially before the so called independence, was there really credible voting for them to claim the representative of the people?

What defines one as a Nigerian when the indigenous people of the land encompassing Nigeria weren't really part of the or even want anything to do with the Nigerian state, mists tribes calling themselves Nigerians today were not part of its formation, they were coerced ,forced , pressured or just roped into Nigeria.

What makes one a Nigerian?
The Fulani people that just stroll into Nigeria anyhow that people say aren't Nigerians, how can they prove it?

Anyone can claim to be from any village and speak any language and claim he is a Nigerian, unless you are willing to do lineage tracing to his village how can you dispute that claim.

Nigeria is ephemeral, Nigeria has no identity,anyone can be a Nigerian?

Especially because as it's a mix of several kingdoms only people within their own kingdoms can identify themselves.

A Yoruba cannot know who truly is a real igbo or Hausa,or Fulani or igala ebira,tiv,idoma,ijaw etc therefore any black person is essentially a Nigerian.

This gives room for a lot of lapses.
A British man can tell a Portuguese living in Britain is not a natural British, except the person was born and groom by British people and vice versa.A Japanese can most like detect a Chinese in their midst.

But Nigerians with varied foreign names,varied languages and accents,varied mannerism and looks hardly can you really recognise a person that is not indigenous to the land area called Nigeria.

This gives room for a lot of infiltration, like the so called foreign Fulani are doing.

You can even tell probably buhari isn't a Nigerian but a NIGERIEN or Atiku is from CAMERON.

Since Nigeria has no reliable record or data
It therefore means there's more to Nigeria that the indigenous people know.

There should be a standard of citizenship
Or ethnic groups and allies should align to formalise the presence of people living in their midst.

From the look of Nigerias security situation, there are so many enemies of Nigeria living in its midst pretending to be Nigerians but delight in destabilising and killing their compatriots.

Who knows who they are and their missions

07kjb:
Starting from somewhere and willingness to do the right things is what we are asking for

NIGERIA is big..is NIGERIA bigger than Canada that all of us are rushing to go

Stop discouraging people joor

Canada is just about 30million people, the resources they of which oil is a major one like Nigeria can more than sustain them

The north is barren,the south Nigeria is flowing with milk and honey,with treasure beyond human comprehension.

The south plays the backfoot,as chosen to be the tail.The south as all it takes to insist on total control of Nigeria or total control of its resources and wealth, and protection of its people but the south as chosen to be the tail.

Osinbajo behind buhari like a dog
Okowa behind Atiku like a cat
The rest left to pander to the north.

The truth is that the southern people are actually evil,they do not want accountability so they hide behind the the tail of Nigeria to not be noticed ,so they can perpetuate their evil towards each other and themselves.

The south like Esau as sold their birthright for a morsel of bread.

666Advocate:
To you its criminally but to us its not.

We still collect Amnesty salaries on top of it but we still comfortably do bunkering

Were are the sky scrapers in ijaw land?

666Advocate:
You don't own it because we still do bunkering without end.
And nothing u can do over it

At the cost of your lives,the ijaw are the only oil bearing communities in the world, that have to exploit their own resources criminally.

The Fulani enjoy your resources more than you do
