Typical of you, once the report doesn't favor your ego... I understand.

Nna, direct your grievance to BudgIT's Ojiugo Uche, he is the Research and Policy Lead Analyst at BudgIT. He's your kinsman.

Anambralstson:


BudgIT stated that access to audited statements brought out some facts on the true state of recurrent expenditure in focus states. Mind you they're working with AGF

BudgIT must be very confused because the same they listed states with enough economic activities to survive without allocation and it contradicts the list you posted above.

According to the report titled ‘State of States’ which was presented by Research and Policy Lead Analyst for BudgIT, Ojiugo Uche, showed that most states’ economies are tied to informal trade and skeletal industrial output with exception of Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Rivers, Delta and Ogun.

Where are those cowardly Igbo Governors and leaders? Why is it only Onye Yoloba leaders stepping up for Kownu? Fayose is Greater than all igbo leaders, past and present, put together. Same applies to FFK oko Bianca.

Where are igbo leaders? Why na Onye Yorubas dey fight for Kanu? ?

Wiseandtrue:
Hmmm Ogun State second Not that I am hating oooo but how come Where are they generating the money from
Just curious

Incase you didn't know, Ogun is the country's industrial hub, after Lagos, and even attractrs more industries these days.

IkpuMmadu:
lagos ibadan express way statistics...which state again

is it Ekiti that is in a mes
is it Osun ?

can you tell me the state again also show us pictures of the states


You guys brag too much yet empty

Guyman, I don't brag. Unlike you and your empty vessel brothers who need to brag to feel good about yourselves (as evidenced by this thread itself). Everybody knows that your region leaves little room for any other viable vocation beyond trading. And even the trading sef is over-saturated, and since that is practically the only viable means of economic survival in those parts, the vast majority of your folks have to seek greener pastures elsewhere. This is common knowledge to everyone in Nigeria. What is the 'brag' in that please?

IkpuMmadu:
igbos are not fleeing igbos are in other places to get chunk of their economy and also keep theirs...maybe in your crazy mind chinese are fleeing also, lebanese are fleeing to Nigeria


tell me a yoruba state that is better than any state in East...pls dont call lagos...its a no mand land developed by all Nigeria...give me ogun, osun,ekiti and ondo...those glorified ghettos

Lol. Those 'glorified ghettos' obviously hold better economic prospects for your wandering race that they would rather leave their 'better' states (which they 'affectionately' call 'village' ) in the East to go eke out a living there. No amount of propaganda would change that obvious fact. Of all people to compare the Igbos to, you had to pick the Lebanese. More Lebanese live outside of their country than within. Why? Because they're scared to return home. Their land is in turmoil (it's been that way for decades), politically, economically, and even religiously, just like the SE. Look, you are flogging a dead horse. I repeat that until your folks start returning en masse to actually live in their 'mansion's back East, as opposed to visiting only during festivities (since they simply can't survive there economically), you are just making noise.

madenigga:

So many times igbos have prooved every one wrong, igbos lost d war and most people thought they were down wud never rise, but they rose so much that they became the subject of envy of there hosts e.g Yoruba.
Igbo's people say they dont go to school but the statistics say other wise.
The day Nigeria stops importation, u people wud think that it is finished, but don't be surprised if every 2 by 2 shop you see in the east becomes a factory.
Most of you think igbos are fools, that there land they leave it, that other Nigerians don't own properties there but igbos alone do.
Igbos naturally like assets, when they are done buying most of the properties in the choice areas in Nigeria and rented them out, after making most of u tenant's in your own land's, when u guys now come to igbo land, u guys wud still be there tenants.

Yinmu. The SW is still the most industrialized region in Nigeria by far, so there's nothing you all can do that we haven't already done and can't do better. If you like convert all your 'high-rises' to factories, we'll do just fine. Nobody envies you all, it's just that your loss of the war engendered a deep sense of inferiority complex in you, so much so that you begin to see enemies where there are none, and falsely blame others for your problems. What more do you want from us? We allow you to come to our land and accomodate you all, since obviously yours isn't ideal enough to sustain your army of almajiris economically. We tolerate your excesses in our region, some of us even support your agitation to leave sef if you want, yet what do we get? Your hero Kanu rains abuses and curses on our race as if we are the ones stopping you all from moving back to Ala Igbo. Truth is, we don't need you all coz really we can do without you -- if you all leave Nigeria today, we will live our lives like y'all never existed. If we need imports we have the ports, we'll go to China and bring in the goods. We can build our own factories. So why would we be against your desire to secede? Like I said, collectively you all are still suffering from the hangover from the loss of the civil war, which unfortunately distorts your perception of reality.

Achuwa1:
Go to Lagos mesuem archives & see for ur self wat the british were using as seaport then & compare it with what u see now at the Lagos seaport..
it is the crude oil money ur sw states sit at home to receive from abj tht developed lagos port to what u see now from tht ancient colonial days.
sw should thank lagosian for their hospitality coz if not for them i dont think there will be difference between wat we see in the north & sw.
After all we lost during tge civil war,we have still gone as far as leading other part of the country econommically & in terms of self dependance..
i wish biafra will come soon so tht we can go & leave this ungodly union called nigeria.

Look, all this your rants will amount to nothing until your folks talk with their feet by moving en masse back to Ala Igbo. Stop deceiving yourself that you lead other parts of the country in any way coz it is no more than a fantasy. Your region is obviously not economically viable, else even your own people would not be leaving there in droves. I mean, for all the 'development' in your SE, you all still have to emigrate to other 'less developed' regions for economic survival. That shyt don't make no sense. We can both agree on one point though, and that is that I also wish you all would have your own country, nothing else would make me happier.

madenigga:

If igboland is so useless and poor why force them into the same country with you?

I just came back from a very lengthy ban for supporting Bia... so I'm not one of those you are alluding to.

Weedcrusher:


Simple truth, nothing to invest in Igboland. No sane investor will invest billions of naira in a region where some destitute will wake up one day to protest and riot for a stupid reason

Guy, if Igboland is so great a place, why are igbo people fleeing her in droves for other regions? Maybe we'd all buy into their hype if they'd just sit their butts at home (for a change) or relocate back East en masse.

Achuwa1:
What does sw contribute to the country ?,,they say they have seaport & they dont know hw or what to do with the seaport & the igbos started making using the seaport they now remember tht there is aseaport in Lagos..
seaport tht was built from crude oil money tht belongs to the whole of Nigeria,..
Finally,why not allow the igbos to go if u ppl feel they are contributing notn & their land is landlock...
hunger will kill sw if they try it & thts y lagosians dont like other sw claiming lagos as their own

You are obviously ignorant and dont know what you're talking about. Lagos ports weren't built with any oil money. The british built it long before there was anything called Nigeria or before Oil was even discovered so you are better off keeping quiet than exposing your ignorance. Secondly, what does the SW contribute to the country? Did you really just ask that? Besides our contribution in Oil revenue (which surpasses what the SE produces and contributes), we are the highest non-oil contributors to the economy. We are the most industrialized region. Also, our land, air, and sea ports also generate more than any other region's. Educate yourself for a change rather than embarrassing yourself.

https://www.naij.com/499136-see-much-nigeria-earned-non-oil-commodities-2014.html

According to the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) data, Nigeria earned a total sum of $2.4bn from the exportation of cocoa, rubber, and other non-oil commodities within the 2014 fiscal period. The NEPC estimates show that cocoa exports with a total amount of $666.45m accounted for the highest non-oil export earnings, followed by raw hides, skins and leather with $487.97m....

Most of the posters above me: Unu nwekwara uche? None of you ka'm abu ezigbota nwa afo Igbo. Now read the post again, and this time carefully.

Guy, sorry to burst your bubble but all it'll take to humble una would be to deny you all the privileges of importation. You people are majorly traders in retail stuff that are 90% imported from China, and you are here beating chest about controlling other people's economy?? The only folks that can brag about controlling the economy are the Niger-Deltans, followed by the SW simply because they provide the bulk of the revenue that keeps the engine of this country running. Even the amount of Leather that the North exports yearly supercedes whatever non-oil contribution the SE brings to the table. Until your collective contribution to the commonwealth of this country appreciates dramatically, you all have nothing to brag about really unless you want to keep deluding yourselves. Remember that even the ports that bring in the imports that your folks retail are not in your control. SE is landlocked so obviously you do not control your economic destiny. Take away importation and una have nothing to beat chest about. Nuff said.

investnow2013:
Must You comment?..... Is Anambra State not part of Nigeria anymore?..... What type of foolish comment is this!.This is why Nigeria is going backward everyday inspite of the huge Manpower & resources given to her by God Almighty but sacrificed on altar of Tribalism & Nepotism!.

Erh.. Save your lecture for your fan-base and not me because I can see through your bullshyt. It's like you know people are already getting tired of your same old recycled b.s so you had to use a deceptive headline to suck folks in. Yeah, you bet I'll comment coz no be your papa forum even though na you open the thread. I have as much right as you or anybody to comment and speak my mind on this thread and you cannot gag me. I don talk my own, now you can do your worst.

investnow2013:
Amichi Anambra State Locally Produced Rice!

Guy, must you turn all your threads into an Anambra-centric one? You didnt have to suck us in with the deceptive headline. A more specific Anambra heading would have sufficed. Nigeria is bigger than your state alone abeg. I know you get paid to do this but try and show some versilitilty for once.

Smh. Nigeria took way too long before commencing the necessary diversification of her enonomy and now the naira is paying dearly for it.

Scholes007:
*mainstreet bank and skye bank plc is not owned by yoruba. Mainstreet was formerly owned by federal govt(amcon) and was acquired by skye bank which is it's self not owned by any single person. The ceo (a yoruba man) was appointed. Ceo does not necessarly mean own pls.
*Sterling bank is not owned by yoruba also it is consolidate of 5 different banks.
* gzi is not owned by yoruba. I have already ironed it out with you. It is owned by a consolidate of group of foreign owner, vetro and standard charter

Guy, you have a funny way of applying standards, honestly. It's like you just fabricate your own standards all in an attempt to sound learned. Are you implying that Igbo companies are all Sole Proprietorships? Or that Yoruba companies are the only ones with sound enough footing to attract foreign capital and investments? Coz your arguments are absolutely devoid of any sound basis.

Ok, going by your warped logic, who would you say owns Diamond and Fidelity banks? Are they owned by the Chairmen of the board, one person (sole proprietorship), by a conglomerate of Igbos, a corporation, or what? I have gone through the list of the board of directors of skye and sterling banks and found that they have more Yorubas on their board of directors than there are Igbos on Fidelity and Diamond banks boards. On Diamond Bank's board, there are only 2 listed Igbos with 6 remaining non-igbos out of 8 total members. Fidelity has 9 igbos, 2 Yorubas and 3 Hausas on its board. Skye Bank has 10 Yorubas, 1 igbo, 2 calabar, and 3 Northerners on its board. Sterling Bank has 10 Yorubas, 1 Edo, 1 Indian, 1 Northerner, 1 Baylesan on its board. First bank has 8 Yorubas, 2 Igbos, 3 Northerners on its board. Standard Chatered Bank Nigeria has 6 Yorubas, 1 Hausa, 3 foreigners on its board. GZI has two Yorubas (including the Chairman) and 6 foreigners on its board.

Now, I ask you, based on these lists how do YOU (Mr. Smart Alec) determine ownership? Is it based on the total number of Yorubas/Igbos on the board versus others? Or is it based on some.. insider information in your possession as to the share value of each member of the board? Unless you can produce such facts, you my friend need to quit making an embarrassment of yourself with your baseless arguments. What exactly is YOUR criteria for judging/determining ownership? Don't tell me it's all based on assumption

Scholes007:
Before i started discussion with you i believed [i][/i]
you most be a learned who will do more research on the company in question not throwing tantrum. Read about the managerial team of the company then come we will argue not this tantrum of self acclaimed intelligence

Dude, teacher don't teach me nonsense coz I am a founder of two startups withg investors on my board, so you are in no position to bamboozle me with your pseudo knowledge about corporate structure. Bottom line is that you are trying fruitlessly to make a moot point about company or business ownership from an ignorant position.

Scholes007:
You lots said gzi is owned by a yoruba man right? And in clear terms i disproved it. I have given you their official web where it was stated clearly that it is not owned by yoruba man. I also told you companies like globalcom and honeywell are the ones founded and own by yoruba. Or do you jst like insulting people because you can talk. Gzi is not owned by yoruba. The ceo is not a nigeria but the md is a yoruba simple or do you have any other problem? Next is skybank. I will be taking it one by one and at the same time giving you links pls be reading the links thank you

Smh. My goodness gracious. You obviously think you are dealing with Alaba marketers coz you are not clever at all Mr. An indigenous company appoints a CEO of a foreign background and you are here displaying your ignorance. Ownership of a company is not determined by the CEO boy. A corporate entity's ownership is determined by who the founder is and his stake in the amount of shares he controls in the company. The board can fire and replace the CEO any day. Only a founder with controlling shares of at least 51% can remotely boast of ownership. Ifeanyi Uba's capital oil is in receivership coz he obviously lost control of the company he founded owing to debt financing and stuff. Unless you can prove that Tunji didn't found GZI and that he doesn't have controlling shares you have no right to tell me he doesn't own the company. Na bad belle dey worry you.

Scholes007:
I know you are intelligent enough pls read this at least the first two paragraph http://www.gzican.com/company-overview/ you will see where it is stated that it is owned by a group of foreign investors, verod capital management and standard chartered...

You see, this is why you folks from your region will always remain fraudsters and will never be taken serious. You went from claiming the company is owned by foreign investors but managed by a Nigerian to listing the owners which 'group of foreign investors' are merely a component part of, to absolutely and mischievously excluding the Nigerian investors on the list. Word of advice: you are embarrassing your tribe as a bunch of immature and hopelessly bitter lot, all in your failed attempt to show a superiority that only exists in your infantile minds.

Why don't you quote where it says that? You can't because you put your spin on it to mean what you want it to, which is a typical igbo trait.
