What a SHAME!

Only N7 billion, With the billions upon billions it receives on allocations.
Even former Anambra state governor left N75 billion in the state treasure...

Ikwerreboy:
How can we pack and go back to benin when 50% of rivers state are ikwerres, not to talk of our brothers( The ekpeye and the ogba.)

The brother's u ogonis have in rivers state today are we the ikwerres.
We are accommodating you guys, we marry you guys and we have neva had conflict with you guys like the igbo's, and okrikas.

We ikwerres are accommodative, we dont mind were you come from but our only problem are the igbos who have refused to understand that we are not and can never be igbos because we are different from them linguistically, culturally and other wise.
The igbos have mistakenly invested in port Harcourt so much and they don't want to loose/fill relax with there investments. but the truth is that dey are big bunch of fools that forgot how the ikwerres refused giving them back there properties after the biafran war to show that we the ikwerres are not igbos and don't want yhe igbos.

The nigerian constitution today have forced the we the ikwerre to accommodate the igbos we dnt want to see in our land all in the name of freedom of movement. but only time will tell sha. Niger delta republic will not accommodate the igbos neva.

What is Niger-delta?

DikeOha882:
How did the Igbos change your names from osaze, efosa to Amadi, Elechi, Amechi etc, even your surnames there is no traceable benin name that you bear, These Igbo people must be superhuman. God please continue to make me super human.

Don't mind them..
The dude Ikwerreboy seems confused!

chiefinalowo:
This is the only ethnic group in Nigeria that cannot trace their origin.

You see yall life?

You are simply Obsessed with Igbos...

BokoHaramInfo1:
There have been attempts by various Zionist
Jewish entities to try and sew Ndi Igbo into a
“Jewish” ancestry. One of their deceptions is
through the painting of the Biblical Eri and the
Igbo Eri as one in the same. Those who are well
versed in the Holy Bible, Igbo Traditions, and
history as I, know that this claim is totally and
grossly absurd. To begin, the names Eri (the son
of Gad) of the Bible and Eri of the Igbo race are
pronounced two completely different ways. The ‘E’
of the Biblical/Jewish Eri is equivalent to the ‘e’
in Easter and the ‘ri’ is equivalent to the ‘ri’ in
ride. Examples of similar biblical names with long
‘E’ pronunciations are Elijah(ee LIE ja), Elisha(ee
LIE sha), Egypt(ee jippt), and Esau(ee SAW). In
contrast, the ‘E’ in the Igbo Eri is as the ‘e’ in
echo and the ‘ri’ is as the ‘ree’ in reed. Examples
of similar Igbo names with short ‘E’
pronunciations are Emeka, Enyi, Ebere, and
Enugu. The only thing the Biblical/Jewish Eri
shares with the Igbo Eri is the Latin Script in
which it is written in. This is a major deception
that is used on the Igbo who are unable to
acquire access to the truth.
Another reason why the claim of the Biblical Eri
and the Igbo Eri as one in the same is laughable
is both the Bible and Igbo tradition prove it to be
false. The biblical Eri (the son of Gad) was said
to have been born during the biblical times of
Genesis. The Book of Genesis is said to have
been written in 1400 BC. That is over 1,400 years
before Jesus Christ was even born. The Bible
itself was completed roughly 2,000 years ago, so
the time difference between the completion of the
Holy Bible and the birth of the biblical/Jewish Eri
is enormous. Do keep in mind that the completion
of the Book of Genesis was a collection of records
of events over thousands of years, according to
religious doctrine and beliefs. In Contrast to the
years of the biblical/Jewish Eri, the Igbo Eri is
barely over 1,000 years old. Eri was the father of
Nri, who establish a kingdom between 948-1000
AD and lasted in major influence up till 1911.
Obviously Igbo and Jewish faithful are being taken
for a ride. The two figureheads were two
completely different individuals and had no
connection whatsoever. Also, the Igbo Eri is not
the progenitor of the Igbo race. He is the father of
the Nri, Aguleri, and Umuleri clans of the Igbo
race. Trying to link the entire Igbo race to this
one man/figure is another attempt to sew the
Igbo into Jewish ancestry. In fact, the Igbo are
from a land of vegetation and have no tradition of
migrating from anywhere outside the Niger-Benue
Confluence; however, the Jews believe they
migrated from a place known as “The Garden of
Eden”, a place of vegetation and which they are
yet to find the location of this particular place of
origin of theirs. Going by the facts I just stated, if
there is any of the two groups that is the
ancestor of the other it is the Igbo that would be
the ancestor of the Jews.
“While these Eastern theories of Igbo origin have
been rejected by African historians as a worthless
piece of creative imagination, “the theory
resurfaced during the Biafra-Nigeria Civil War
(1967 – 1970) when the Igbo race nearly
accepted the suggestion that they were Israelites
or Jews. This was because the Igbos associated
the mass destruction of the Civilian Igbo race
living in the Northern region of Nigeria with the
genocide of the Jews in Nazi .Germany during the
Second World War. The Biafrans of the Nigerian
civil war also attributed the source of hatred for
both Jews in Europe and the Igbos in Nigeria to
their enterprising nature, economic and
intellectual capability which were seen by others
as an attempt to monopolize the economic and
political power of the nation.”
As Emma Onwuzurike remarked in Nguma Uvuru
(1991): “This unfortunate incident compounded
the problem of Igbo origin. It even pressed the
Jewish origin almost to a convincing point.
However, the Hebrew or Jewish origin of the
Igbos is part of the basic theory of Nigerian
people origin which has been discarded by African
historians as an unauthentic theory”

How is that suppose to be your problem?


Leave Igbos alone...

[s]Lagos is scary. You open your door to let a fly out and in comes 6 mosquitoes, 2 cockroaches, 1 rat and 2[/s] Jehovah witnesses.

You are dumb!
You think you cracked a joke eh?

chukel:
jeez. Did u go to school at all? If he sounds pointless, then u sound senseless. Abeg correct yourself.

I blame you, Dr. Chukel my Lecturer.

Abagworo:
Typical Igbotic buildings clustered like South American slum. Look to your left on the 2nd picture and see something decent. Government needs to give designs for both structure and roofing to stop this kind of nasty housing.

Are you alright? Which one is Igbotic?

I noticed that too

Ilekeh:
Saraki is also from Kwara, a Yoruba state in the North.

Who told you that Kwara state is Yoruba?

Rilwayne001:
Fashola / amaechi will be greater.

Your opinion is blurred...

ProfCorruption:
I deactivated this handle once, sometimes last year or so after my laptop was taken from me at gun point in downtown Miami and there was evidence those miscreants were tampering with my info. I adopted another handle, sturborness, which is now rested because I lost it to the great data loss. That data loss, miraculously, brought back my Profcorruption handle. Fortunately, I had recovered my laptop before the resurrection of Prof Corruption, so I decided to live with its exhumation.

Also, I deliberately left Nairaland a few weeks to the general election because I just couldn't stomach the glaring bias of the moderators, including the owner. I had hoped that with the elections over, there would be a semblance of normality and perhaps intelligent contributions would return. Well, that's not the case. I think Nairaland has so much changed that the difference wouldn't be lost on those who experienced or perhaps themselves made intelligent contributions some years back. What we have now is not the real thing as it used to be; it's now more of a shadow, an ugly one at that.

I am not a big fan of philistinism, petty or idle talks, someone with large eyeball, 50 thousand pounds wrist watch etc., husband snatching fooleries. I am a political junkie who likes debating policy issues, exploring implications of political moves, locally or internationally. Unfortunately, philistinism is on the rise and continue to dominate not just the home page but also every sections of Nairaland. It is very tough these days to see just ONE good thread to make contributions. So, it doesn't worth staying any longer.

Bottom line, Profcorruption is gone for good. I would adopt another method to air my views. Any issue I feel strongly about, I would write a piece and get it published or I might set up a blog where my thoughts could be shared.

Overall, What's your point?

You sounds pointless...

chukwudi44:
Lol you people would never cease to amaze me. Even with present economic debacle in Osun, you still have the effrontery to bandy this mendacious and ridiculous IGR figures. Only a slowpoke would believe Osun state generates more IGR than Anambra one of the most economically viable states in Nigeria

Don't mind that man.

lawani:
Osun IGR is 1.6 billion naira. Anambra is 1.1 billion naira. There is no state that can not survive without oil money. What they get per year is much less than 1 billion dollars. They can easily slice it off their GDP if they wanted. We will get there one day.

Gov. Chris Ngige left 11billion naira in the state treasure before Dr. Peter Obi took over as Governor in 2007...
After 8years in office, his tenure ended in 2014...
He(Obi) OFFICIALLY left 75billion in the state treasure before Wellie Obiano took over...

If Anambra IGR is truely 1.1billion naira, then How come?

lawani:
Innoson is not the only car assembling company in Nigeria but it is the first indigenously owned one. You would expect a spare parts dealer to come up with a company like Innoson. We still have a long way to go as most of the car parts are imported. A real made in Nigeria car should be less than 500 thousand naira because everything will be cheap from labour to steel and other materials. India produces such cars.

Maybe Anambra is more industrialized but that does not mean she has higher GDP as Osun has more overall economic activities probably due to cash crops. There are many companies in Osun too of which International Brewries Plc, a blue chip company is number one. You can't compare Innoson to IBL Plc which is the number 3 breweries in Nigeria by activities on the NSE.

Anambra govt. just increased their workers salaries by 15% whereas, Osun workers are yet to be paid...
Anambra can survive without FG allocation while Osun can't...

Most Companies, Factories, Industries e.t.c are private owned and not government sponsored, that's while FG doesn't usually direct their focus to the SE...

S-East can SURVIVE without FG...

Rilwayne001:
To do what?

I don't know! Ask Oremussantus

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Omo ibadan(rilwayne001) come and explain dis

Rilwayne001, your attention is highly needed..

lawani:
Depends on what you want to buy. Tokunbo cars are cheaper in Ilesa Osun state for instance being closer to Benin republic and people go there to buy from the East. The markets in Onitsha are international markets just like Alaba, serving West Africa for some goods not only indigenes. This is because of cartels formed by traders. However, the edge of Osun is not trading but Agro allied economic activities.

Nnewi is the home to the ONLY Nigerian Vehicle producing company...
All the whole New spare parts(Motorcycle, bicycles, Vehicles e.t.c) in Nigeria at large are being produced and Manufactured in Nnewi...
Onitsha is a trading Hub, while Nnewi is home to manufactured Auto-mobile products....

Chigold101:
are you saying that commercial activities in Osun state is higher than that of Anambra state which his monthly IGR stands at about 1.3billion.

The Osun state that cant pay salaries while Anambra increased salaries...

Funny how figures are being generated in Nigeria.

Don't mind them..
I wonder how they came about this statistic....
Osun has no commercial city...
Anambra has 2 commercial cities (Onitsha and Nnewi)..
Anambra is more populated than Osun...
