Funny, have you put into consideration factors limiting your eastern counterpart?

Have you wonder that Lagos statistics include their effort in Lagos as well same with Ogun state.


Your IGR you bost of, large chunk comes from your Eastern counterpart dwelling in your city.


Don't go there; "Why is it that The eastern states aren't doing so great compared to their South west counterparts"

The East intentionally or unintentionally are been suffocated by the policies of the federal government right from Military regime. That make their unfavorable for business even for Indigene. Those Anambra sons that set up a successful business in their state did that just for the love of their mother land, not because Their state was the best place to sight a business.

Have you ever imagined what it feels like moving your raw materials from a port far away Lagos to your Industry through bad roads? the risks, losses? why can't there be sea port close by?

You pass through same hardship for export, how then will your price be competitive enough. How will your business survive extra stress on the normal known stress involved when doing business in Nigeria.

I don't want to talk about Airport. I know what you will say, but don't go there. You can build a world class International Airport, but will FG give you license? And why must south east build their stuffs by themselves. Just in the case of Imo International Cargo airport. Our roads are on a PPP why others purely Federal expenses.


We flock to your region? That's the human capital we talk about. rather than fail, why not go to where the government made it favourable, make it there and send back home as well.


Believe me, if The South East states are not suffocated by FG, If we had a sea port close by, connected with railway to major city, why do you think Your eastern neighbours will leave their enclave for yours when they can deal with the outside world directly from their home.

Many will still come over to your state to do business because money must be made.. What will change is that, south east will be the headquarter of Nigeria economy and commerce.


Yoruba have Lagos and Ogun, but with all the advantage, aren't so great.. have you imagined what an Igbo man will have turned those cities if they got the advantage you got?


That is human capital. They made great success irrespective of our unfair situations. what have you have you guyz done with your advantage that can be enviable?

Some of you are very bitter souls! Anambra is not owing anyone, we do not pay any half salary! Obiano is very regular in paying the workers, thato is why he is christened AlertGovernor! We are not in the same league with you!

The original op provided a link to vanguard news from March 2015 to twist facts. This is 2018 and the NLC in Anambra confirm they are receiving 18k minimum wage. They are already asking for more. Stop the shameless lying it is disgusting!

Anambra workers demand full implementation


In Anambra State, immediate past government of Peter Obi, instead of implementing the N18.000 minimum wage, just added N10,000 and just recently, the incumbent governor merely effected a15 percent increment to the workers’ salaries which still fell short of the N18.000 minimum wage.

They have everything, but lack one thing which is the most important to make a great nation.


Just like the economist will tell you that an entrepreneur is the most important factor of production

A political scientist will tell you need to develop your human capital if you want your nation to prosper.


Yoruba lack the human capital. they are not as smart as their South Eastern colleagues.


If you think I'm wrong, why haven't they discovered their advantage and fight for an independent nation.


The Igbos were smart enough to discover they need an independent nation.


Yoruba lack the fundamental...

They are all over this thread casting stones, if that bridge had been built in the east I bet we will not be having this discussion, and that Y0ruba guy is spending so much energy deriding the place he supposedly come from, the day an ipob begin to say the truth hell will freeze over, the ones that won't lie among them will keep quiet.
