Tazmode: Bravo. I'm not sure about the regional parasites but i think the main parasites are a large group of entities with varying tribes. They are like the Ebola virus, there's only an experimental cure available |

Igbos are to blame for the perception of ''poor performance'' of SE, although this is not a case of poor performance at all, given population and federal allocations data. That being said, much is expected from Igbos; so everything ''Igbotic'' (including its zone of SE) is viewed with a different, often higher, standard than other Nigerian groups/zones. 8 Likes |

Igbos have taken their rightful place economically in Nigeria as a country; however, the SE has not. The only way the SE will take its rightful place in Nigeria is for SE to de-invest in other zones. Here I must then link the term ''SE'' with ''Igbo''. Igbos have to go back home to SE in large numbers and repopulate that place; they must invest more at home and eventually be plentiful enough in SE to get more federal allocation, and in return cause the SE to make more contribution to the national cake. Any investments Igbos make outside of the SE (and there are thousands of such investments worth trillions) are investments that counts for other zones. Remember ethnicity is not even in the census data. So, even if Igbo-owned activities continue to enrich Lagos, PH, Abuja and Kano among other states, it amounts to nothing economically for the SE. 10 Likes |

Below is a typical monthly allocation formula in Nigeria since after the creation of zones. SE always gets the lowest every month In a summary of federal allocations to the states obtained by the Economic Confidential, the online intelligence magazine, within the period South-South states that are mostly oil-producing received the highest allocation of N386.8 billion followed by North-West N162.5 billion and South-West N160.7 billion. Other regions like North-East got N119.7 billion, North-Central N117.2 billion and South-East received N99.4 billion. https://www.nairaland.com/547057/rich-poor-states-how-states (Modify) (Quote) (Report) 5 Likes |

To make a dispassionate analysis of which region(s) is(are) a parasite(s) in Nigeria, three types of evaluations would be important: population, contribution to the nation, and what is taken from the nation. So here we go: SE: least populated by official census; least recipient of federal Naira (aka least takers from the national cake); low contributor to the national cake SS: mid populated; highest taker from the national cake; highest baker of the national cake SW, high populated; third highest taker to the national cake; mid contributor to the national cake NE Mid to high populated; high taker from the national cake; low baker of the national cake NC: mid to high population; mid to high taker from the national cake; low baker of the national cake NW: very high populated; second highest taker from the national cake; low to mid contributor to national cake Based on the above analysis, who then is a parasite and who is not? The parasitic zones would be those who have a high population, take a lot away from the national cake and give far less back. Also, those with relatively lower population, but take more and give less, are parasites as well. In addition, even others who take away even slightly more than they give are also parasites, to a lesser extent, of course. At this point, let me also make another distinction regarding the SE, due to the peculiarity of the natives of that region. The term ''SE'' should be distinguished from the term ''Igbo''. While SE is low populated and therefore, as expected, a low taker and low giver, the Igbos are nearly the opposite. They are a large population, they contribute the most to Nigeria as an individual ethnic group, and they take the least as an ethnic group. By the very nature of their penchant to migrate to other parts of Nigeria and abroad, they work, pay taxes and contribute to the income of their host zones in Nigeria, thereby helping to increase the contribution of such host zones to the national cake. Their millions of business men import all sorts of goods and pay customs and exercise levies and taxes; they pay rents for shops and business premises in non-Igbo zones; they single-handedly moved Nollywood to the current level, thereby generating billions for the country; they pay huge sums as school fees for their wards who study in fed, state and private schools in non-Igbo zones; they remit billions of dollars from abroad, being the most Nigerians found abroad. On top of all these, by the nature of their level of self employment, they are the least, both as an ethnic group and as a zonal group, with govt employment. This means that govt salaries go less to Igbos and SE, than to other ethnic groups and their zones. On the flip side, this huge migration has contributed in depleting SE zonal population, its contribution to the nation, and thus, its take-away from the nation. Again, distinguishing between SE and Igbo, the SE is the most leveling zone in NIGERIA; it takes only as much as it gives. In contrast, the Igbo lose out because they give more than they receive. The SS is the most balanced because it gets as much as it gives, commensurate to its zonal population. I would like those of you who have the statistics of regional populations, federal revenue allocations per region, and contributions to the federal purse per region to post such data here with true links. Thereafter, let those of you who are grounded in economics analyze and refute my permutations that all three parameters must be considered in calling any Nigerian zone a parasite. 12 Likes |
