They are superior to us. I do agree with you. Africa is innately raw.

Neymar1095:
The earlier we realise the whites are superior to the blacks the better because racism will never stop.

Bolustical:
Yes

Magana de la master et servanto

Master/slave affair

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.

deomelo:
Regarding?

hilroy:
Yorubas have put the IT sector on a complete lockdown. Too impressive

deomelo:

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.

Obi1kenobi:
Is there really anything stopping the states setting up their own institutions?

shukuokukobambi:
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

Dedetwo:
Are you from this world not to simply understand that from Lagos to Ibadan and beyond has a population mixed with non- Yrai.ba?

ODVanguard:
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.

Dedetwo:
Northeast: 18 million registered voters and half of this number are Cameroonians and Chadians.

South West: 15 million registered voters and half of this number are Beninos

North Wast - 11 million registered voters and half of this number are Nigeriens.

Lajet:
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.

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

Blue3k:

Don't you have one of those hilarious animations for us?

DonVikings:
Bro Jetleeee, I sight you.

Cc: ZombieHunter. What have you to say about this?

omenka:
If anyone should demand equity and fairness, Afam certainly isn't that person!

9jaihail3:
Like i said in one of my comment above, people of your type perish due to lack of knowledge. Again i put it to you, what is the benefit of your so called landmass when the said landmass is barren and unproductive?

9jaihail3:
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.
