Abufo: I wonder what these feel good pentecostals from southwest have achieved in the east! They take but it is hard to identify what they have given back anywhere in the east! Winners,Redeemed and Deeper life over to you!
Down here they are utilizing their money well not buying private jet
Gajagojo: You can swear? You are not sensible. Is it mouth Swear let us see
The claim. That there are 200000 shops is a LIE
Onitsha Main market remain the largest market in West Africa, your ranting here can't change that so stop wasting your time, even people from your region come here to buy goods
Pakute: Scholes007, sorry, Abia population is not up to 3million. Latest electoral figures showed Abia with a registered voters of 1.9million and that's about 60% of the population per INEC data. Also, the GDP metrics would amount to a false HDI since the state is largely driving by mechanised farming.

Abia have one of the lowest unemployment rate in Nigeria, the shoe and fashion Industries you don't what to hear, employed more people than those few industries in your ignorant mind

You're just empty 🧠🤯, what is the number of registered voters in Abia
Pakute: Otti is going to kill Abia same way he killed Diamond bank, whatever he seems to be doing right now is mere cosmetic. The handwriting is one the wall, you can't go borrowing 400billion in a poor state that generates a measly 15-16billion IGR per year, where 70% of its people are peasant farmers. Remember how Otti budgeted almost 1billion for food while public school got a paltry 25million in the supplimentary budget.
Under Alex Otti, Diamond bank recorded over 200billion non-performing loan for a new generation bank, Otti gave out loans to cronies in reckless abandon. Otti was later sacked with ALL the staffs that came with him. Alex Otti revalued he assets of the bank to cover up fos its operating losses. A year jater, the Board realized the extent of Otti's mismanagement and declared 78% decline in profits, net income declined by 77%. The bank's Chaisman, Chief Dozie sold his MTN shares inorder to reposition the bank but to no avail. Chief Dozie's family regretted how Otti ruined them, Abia might be next.
You are just born sadist, how do you sleep with so much bitterness in your heart, see how you are wasting so much energy over nothing

Gistsnaijamedia: ... says APC is now officially known in Anambra State as the people’s Choice.
Comr. Ezekafor Ebube, The APC chairman Ekwulobia Ward one stated this while receiving a good number of men and women with Capacities from different political parties who joined All progressive Congress APC at Ekwulobia Ward one APC, Ekwulobia is in Aguata LGA of Anambra State.
udede: With the way the judgment went on the case of MNK at the supreme court, i don't think i will want to spend the yuletide in the East. Not because of Ipob or ESN but because of the menace of UGM masquerading as freedom fighters. They have been given another reason to unleash mehen.
So sad
You guys keep fooling yourselves on social media platforms
yommen: Break hearts Kpele o. This one dey brag about Anambra gas thinking SW self no get something to brag about. For your information, the quantity of crude oil in Lagos alone(400,000 pbd)is more than that of the whole SE. We are therefore not jealous of you because we've got enough natural resources to sustain us.
flokii: I don't know why NNPC is meeting with Anambra State agency honestly.. all they need do is move men to various sites with probable gas deposits and start exploration. Any of you rascals that dare show face would be bundled straight to Kuje maximum prison in Abuja.. 30yrs you never comot for prison.
Obaofaba: Already lamenting, abi na groundnut oil dey there ni?
So zamfara state is in the same league as Anambra?
Both has same thing in common, terrorism.
I now understand.
You bitterness can't stop us, Anambra is third largest economy of non Oil economy, imagine what the state economy will be once the natural gas are developed
Today, Anambra state investment management agency hosted a delegation from NNPC to engage in discussions about a prospective collaboration between the two entities.
SoNature: This is a baseless assumption. If this was true, then every state in Nigeria would be as rich as or close to being as rich as Lagos State so they can borrow more. States are more likely to understate and steal their IGR than inflate it. They tell us the one they want us to know.
As for measuring wealth from IGR, I don't agree with you either. The sustainability of a state without Abuja handouts depends on its IGR. What happens to IGR in most states with big IGR is that the money is looted.
Same state that claimed high IGR were bankrupt when oil price went low, they couldn't pay salary keep keep fooling yourself
