Thanks for the tag Sanchez01

He's very active on twitter as well. Some people believe his book on the civil war is the most balanced

I haven't read any of his books, but i'll probably give this a try

I think as far as something like mining of state minerals or control of international borders within states goes, there are inhibiting Federal laws and hence you have many mineral-rich states across the country that can do little with their god-given resources as everything is channeled towards "oyel", but I doubt there's anything really, other than financing that limits states in setting up and funding any kind of research institution in education, health and bio-sciences, agriculture, technology etc that they wish to.

Oyo is certainly one of the most blessed states in the country considering its huge size, population, historical and cultural importance and relatively high education standards. And was the former regional capital too. Attracting the capital inflows it seeks from the corporate world would be difficult though. Ogun is reaping this at the moment due to pretty much surrounding an increasingly saturated Lagos, so industries and residents are flowing across its borders. The rail-line and completion of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway might aid the economic integration though.

True words breh. Lack of vision and exposure is also part of it. Most of these All these governors aren't futuristic, and the people aren't smart either. That's why they always come back to repeat the same nonsense about good roads/clean water every election and people take them seriously. They're so basic with their ideas and manifestos. No one is planning to do anything along this line, cos they don't even know jack about it. Pentium 1 state of mind.

Heck! all these guys know about ICT are computer labs grin

That is going on as we speak.


Sadly, the state government is not taking advantage of the huge population and land mass in terms of IGR collection and enforcement. Oyo state right now should be posting huge IGR after Lagos and without significant IGR and with dwindling allocations, the government can not address the state's infrastructure deficit.

They are handling agriculture to some degree, but still not aggressive enough considering the fact that they have all the major Agric institutions withing their border.

ICT hubs are surprisingly springing up in Ibadan, young folks in Ibadan are also very excited and energized about their cities and state in general and night life in Ibadan is shaping up almost like Lagos.

They educated manpower is top class and Ibadan is home to our premier and one of the best Universities in Nigeria

There's a reason why Ibadan is home to the largest Shoprite in Nigeria, it's because of their buying power, prospect for great economic growth and enlightened society. They have major international brands like KFC, Dominos, Cold Stone Creamery, major mall and Agodi Gardens is the best amusement park in Nigeria with zero competition.

Ibadan must wake up and aggressively move away from their SW political and administrative center mentality to a strong and viable economic powerhouse because the potential is huge.

Is there really anything stopping the states setting up their own institutions?

State owned universities? Yes they are allowed to, but i'm not 100% sure whether states are allowed to have state-owned research institutions. Even if they are allowed to, where will the money to start something like that from the scratch and constantly fund it come from?

It's better to just make do with what's already available

What I would prefer are privately owned research institutions. Even PPP wouldn't be a bad idea

The problem is that all those institutions are federally owned with the exception of IITA that is foreign sponsored. The state government has little power over them.

Truly Ibadan has a lot of potential

This is why regionalism is badly needed. The dundees at the top don't give a fook about these institutions, yet they won't let the state governments take control of them even if they want to

The country is structurally fooked up. That's why you have so many moribund industries everywhere.

There are 2 things that need to be done to catapult Ibadan to greater heights

1 High-speed rail connecting the city to Lagos

2 Funding of the research centres and institutions in the city especially IITA, UI and UCH. There is also NISER, NIHORT, IAR&T, FRIN, CRIN, NABDA, NACGRAB.

Most people aren't aware of how important those institutions are. I can see the city developing into a software, biotech, and medical research hub if these institutions are heavily funded. We are wasting our time if we think we can make much progress in Agric without heavily funding our Agric research centres. Netherlands and Israel are good examples of what could happen if a country funds her research centres

Ibadan could be sold as a hub for venture capital-backed Agro startups akin to what obtains in Nairobi and Kigali. The city has land. Imagine an Agro-city a la Eko Atlantic close to somewhere around Moor plantation.

So much potential breh

This whole talk of people in potor land rejecting medical outreach has nothing to do with python dance or whatever. It's just a case of false information spreading among people who aren't exposed.

Something similar happened during that Ebola period when it was all over the place that salt bath was the cure grin

People actually believed it lol.

I'm sure this rumour must have started on WhatsApp. These days, rumours spread faster on WhatsApp than any other platform. Even old people are on WhatsApp.

Actually, potors now constitute 96% of Lagos population. Smh. Those mumus just pull percentages out of their anuses and expect to be taken seriously.

In any case , the SW is the swing region coz everyone knows and can predict other regions' voting pattern, while the SW acts as the tie breaker. That's exactly what happened in 2011 and 2015, and will most likely repeat itself in 2019. undecided

Nonsense Propaganda look for another lie this one no work out Mr Afonja Muslim even when many people boycott not to register because of IPOB the still manage to get 2 Million voters during September by now it may have increased . You have to bear in Mind that Igboland have 99% of Igbo people living in South East not like lagos that Igbo may consist 30% to 35% voters there.


Olodo leleyi sha. I showed you something from INEC, you're telling me it's afonja propaganda grin cheesy As at the last time election was conducted in Anambra state, only 703,000 people voted. The OP's figures are based on the last presidential elections, not upcoming elections.

I thought you said it was 3million. Why are you showing me 2million?

Per your 35% population in Lagos, I said it's wrong. The last time I checked, it was 95%

Only Anambra have 3 Million voters so Afonja look for another propaganda even in South West Igbo have 30% to 35% of Lagos Populations.

When they tell you to go to school, potor won't listen. You'll be exporting abiama powder upandan

They're talking about registered voters by region, not ethnicity.

Only 703, 409 people voted in Anambra during the last presidential elections. Reg no of voters in Anambra is 1.9 million

http://www.inecnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/summary-of-results.pdf

Per the emboldened, I disagree with you. Potor make up about 95% of Lagos population. Yorubas 2%, Hausas 2%, other ethnic groups 1%

There is no way the North-East can be higher than South-West.

Maybe they meant North-West i.e Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara

North-East is Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe

And if you check well, you'd notice they mentioned North-East twice. Must have been a mistake

Ok fine, lets agree that your Oyo is bigger than the whole of south east in your dream, does it mean people should indirectly or directly take over my right because i am small in size or few in number? Mind you, S-east has at least two active oil producing states and that cannot be said of s-west and all the 19 states in the north.

And when did I tell you anyone should take over your right because you are small in number?

I only spoke about state creation, I don't know who is arguing about oil producing states with you

Speaking of oil producing states, are you implying that there aren't oil producing SW states?

Breh! It's too early for me to be posting gifs.
