Simply visit South Eastern states and compare with other states.

Minus the places heavy with Federal Government presence (Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt)

Anambralstson:

Conehead in serious pain, many of your leaders has visited the industrial city and confirmed, Nnewi na 100% indegenous industrial city no be borrow borrow make me rich, making mouth with foreigners and other tribes investments in your domain.

fk002:


That's sad and pathetic

fk002:


Stop posting rubbish. Is too childish. anyways who knows maybe you guys are underage or something because no Adult will post and argue on Arial view of a city.

Gnaeusmagnus:


I can see where you are going. If we remove subsides, fuel price would be high..and we would suffer.

Sorry, but it is time we removed fuel subsides.


You can't do that without...

1.Removing subsides, because no one is going to refine fuel at a high cost, and then sell it at N140...below cost.
2.Making NNPC a truly private company, not the government slush fund it is right now.




Again, subsides have to go. Otherwise, the profit won't be there to pay for repairs. People sabotage the refienreis because it benefits them. If NNPC was private, sabotage would affect the profits it could make...and thus would be clampred down on.




Not wiothout subsides gone, they won't. Again, no one is going to refine fuel, and sell it at a loss, as would happen under a subsidy.


Okay


Only if you let the local refiners sell at their price, not at government controlled price...which is what subsidy would cause.


But of course.


That's why subsidy has to go. If the APC government is sincere, it has to take that hard decision. So that the corruption around it ends, and we benenfit long term

Gnaeusmagnus:


The thing is GEJ was trying to take steps to make it less of a paper economy...by removing fuel subsides

If we had removed fuel subsides in 2012...the savings could have been used for better economic growth, and the jobs and investment would have been created well well.

Nigerians said no, and we got stuck throwng money down a big hole.

Also, the borrowing we were doing was largely because the oil price was not high enough to sustain Nigeria...even when prices were as high as $120 per barrel.

That's why Nigeria needs leaders who can get us off oil...and on the way to a manufacturing economy producing things whose prices, we control.

Keep deceiving yourself with that worn out APC propaganda

try ask your mum well, afonja doesnt have flat head, and he would rather fight till death than be like lamidi kanu and ojukwu

ivandragon:



What you presented is only a part of the reality of the situation at the time.

As at 2012, the US, which was the largest importer of Nigeria's crude had cut imports by more than 60%. By 2014, this had dropped to almost 0%.

https://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/obama-stops-buying-nigerias-oil/


Mind you, of the about 1.7mbpd that Nigeria produced at the time, about 1.3mbpd was purchased by the US...

So contrary to the misconception thrown around about the squandering of the oil boom by GEJ, the high oil prices actually had the reverse.

Also, with oil prices at over $100pb, GEJ still had to keep fuel prices under N100 & the exchange rate under N200 all the while still making Nigeria the largest economy in Africa & one of the fastest growing in the world.

GEJ had his faults, no doubt. But people should do deeper research of issues so as to have a better understanding of matters.

XANDERBOY85:
Aunty Ngozi making us proud again!

They should get Soludo on board as well!

@officialgarri shebi you see the people wey US de owe? Not China and definitely not UK.

I believe if the government is honest about the corruption fight, if we can account for the monies all out agencies and ministries misappropriate we don’t need a foreign loan.

Please I have this cool nature dealing with Christian Omoluabis but not the Muslim counterpart. They represent anything many can still term violence in religion.

Justice Odili chaired the panel while the lead Judgement was delivered by Justice Ejembi Eko. The review Judgement delivered by Justice Amina Augie.

The verdict is clear and inorder. Everybody must not be in APC with you guys. Since you guys hv decided to serve the caliphate slavishly till eternity....others don't and will never.

Don't use my head for your Jihad please.

totit:


The dude keep showing us 2010-2015 as if that would return us back to these years.

The 2019-2020 stats placed the whole of SE at zero level. Why would there be need then to include the so called " almighty ' anambra or any state from that region on the information?

Just don't understand the dude.

He was receiving hailings yesterday and feeling like one superhero because some of us don't just have the time arguing over some irrelevant and over the beaten issue.

totit:


Oga. Did you check your screenshot at all? It says, 6years ago Nah.

ngoxievergreen:



This is slum, not development. yorubaland is still in stone age

ngoxievergreen:



Ejoor, is this the development you are yapping about? Ibadan is actually more developed in mud houses and rustic brown roofs

ngoxievergreen:
This gives you an overall view of Ibadan. Please is there another Ibadan apart from this? Ibadan can be categorized as a very big slum.

Biafrarep:


Land costs just a fraction when building a house in the East. For instance, here in Owerri, you can buy land in a good location for just 3 million while it will cost you about 30 million to erect a two storey building of 6 six flats.

You can't possibly tell me that cost of building materials is cheaper in Ibadan than Onitsha. You can't tell me that labour is cheaper in Ibadan than Onitsha because we make use abo.ki labourers here who charge low rates.

It's a fact that Igbos control trade and commerce in Nigeria, even down to your OWN TOWNS & VILLAGES!! Go to any timber market, building materials market, drug market, motor spare parts market, general goods market etc in your town and tell me those that run the show there.

Ask yourself why Igbos largely live in the upscale areas of any city or town they reside in while others find it difficult to do so in reverse (check out Lagos, Abuja, P.H, Kaduna, Kano, Jos etc). There is even a general saying that Igbos are often the reason why rents are high in some places simply because they are willing to pay high prices for good houses.

I have been to Ibadan and a few other yoruba cities as well as north, so I know what I'm saying.
