How old are you and what's your level of education sir?


What percentage of Nigerians have bank accounts or deposit money into bank accounts?

So when in 2013, when Nigeria was rated to have the largest economy in Africa, this was done by using Bank deposits as a yardstick?

Is this your (Bank deposits) index according to the World Bank, IMF or London School of Economics?

So any Nigerian who hasn't done any transaction with banks since May-1 hasn't done any economic activities?

What's the GNI per capital of Anambra State sef?

Anambralstson:
The stated clearly that bank credit /deposit in each state may be used as an indicator of the level of economic activity and wellbeing of operators (households and businesses) in a particular state

Bros forget it, nothing special in Anambra State.

The 2018 Human Development Index for Nigeria was 0.511 while the 2018 HDI for Anambra State was 0.471 and it was below the National average.

Nigeria is a backward country but trying to claim that Igbos are superior tribe economically (or in any aspect) is all bladerdash.

kunkelhanspeter:
I agree with what you dat but don’t compare Anambra to Kano in terms of economically value only Onitsha self is more economical dan Kano

So if GDP doesn't measure the size of the economy, what does GDP measure?



It is verifiable that Kano State has higher GDP, Budget and IGR than Anambra and you are still arguing with beer parlour talks of Markets and industries.

Anambralstson:
Otondo GDP doesn't measure economy, can you provide recent GDP of Nigeria at least from two to three years ago. Anambra host more industries, Markets than Kano last banks financial reports Kano was far below Anambra.

Excuse me sir, which methods did you use to measure the economy of Onitsha and showed you that it is greater than the economy of Kano State?

kunkelhanspeter:
I agree with what you dat but don’t compare Anambra to Kano in terms of economically value only Onitsha self is more economical dan Kano

Point of corrections


1) OIL IS NOT BY ANY COMMUNITY.
Oil is found on certain lands and extracted by oil companies for refining into finished products.




2) In Ondo State, oil is being extracted on Ilaje lands and NOT Ijaw land.

Anambralstson:
Even oil producing communities in Ondo are Ijaw

The GDP of Kano is greater than that of Anambra.

Kano State's budget and IGR are also greater than Anambra.

Anambralstson:
Kano more economically buoyant than Anambra in which aspects? Are you bitter or Ignorant?

Thanks Bede2u for putting your points forward in an intelligent manner, devoid of ethnic bashing and promoting intellectual discussion.

Analysis

Though landlocked and densely populated, Rwanda is a developing country that has undergone rapid industrialisation thanks to successful government policy. Since the early-2000s, Rwanda has witnessed an economic boom improving the living standards of many Rwandans. The Government’s progressive visions have been the catalyst for the fast transforming economy. The President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has noted his ambition to make Rwanda the "Singapore of Africa".

Bounded by the Atlantic ocean and having large deposits of hydro carbon, glass and silica sand, Rivers state is one of the most naturally endowed parts of Africa. It produces 50% of Nigeria's crude oil. However from the statistics above, it is clear that life in this very beautiful part of Africa is not better than life in Rwanda which has very little natural resources and land.

It shows again why seperatism in Nigeria is not a bad politics. Nigeria is too large and diverse to cordinate and develope a modern society. Ethnic tensions and religious intolerance contributes to keep the beautiful people of Nigeria down.

The South East of Nigeria which has clamoured for Biafra for years are always reminded that they are landlocked and with little oil. But here is Rwanda, a landlocked African Nation without resources (except its beautiful people) that survived a brutal genocide, gradually draging itself out of poverty without oil.

Think on this today.

There is no sea in Igboland, how can a SEAport be built there?

And why do you think the Yorubas have the power to stop the construction of a SEAport in Alaigbo?

The Igbos were very powerful during GEJ administration and also weilded considerable influence during Obasanjo's administration, why didn't you demand for the construction of SEAport in Enugu, Aba, Nnewi or Okigwe?

There is no SEAPORT in Kano State but the State is more economically bouyant than Anambra State.

kunkelhanspeter:
What the Igbos just need is just one standard seaport
The FG and the Yoruba’s are so afraid to let that happen

You are correct.
Untill recently I ventured into private business, I started seeing Yorubas based in Onitsha, Aba or Enugu but these are very few compared to the Igbos that live in the S/west.

As someone who is very close to the Igbos, I sometimes wonder why this enmity online when in real life, Igbos are the largest numbers of Yoruba's friends/partners.

I know so many friends, colleagues, neighbours that are half Yoruba,half Igbos (they plenty for Kano and Lagos States)

Uptil today, I have only seen 3 Yorubas that speak and understand Igbo language but I can't count the numbers of Igbos that speak or understand Yoruba Language.

400billionman:
Oga, Yoruba people full Igbo land. Some are friends, former colleagues and tenants.

Some have started buying land to develop in Igbo land, married Igbo wives and born half caste looking kids.

Stay there, make trailer climb your okada.

And how many Indians, Lebanese or Chinese abandon Beiruts, Mumbai or Shanghai to come and hawk Gala in traffic or work as Prostitutes in Lagos, Abeokuta, Otta, Oyo, Ogbomosho, Ore, Shagamu or Oshogbo?

Igbos are mostly economic migrants, not Technical expertriates.

Obi1kenobi:
The population of the 5 SE states compares well with the 5 SW states outside Lagos. Or the SS states. Or the Middle Belt states. Or the NE states. Not sure where this weird myth comes from about how the SE is deserted. SE people travel around because we're mercantile people and trading entails movement to seek out markets and consumers. Lebanese or Indians or Chinese people aren't flooding Nigeria because Lagos is better than Beirut or Mumbai or New Delhi or Shanghai or Hong Kong. They moved here because they saw markets here for their goods or products.

It's the responsibility of Anambra State Government to fix that erosion problem.

Wiseandtrue:
What accidental erosion are you talking about

Are you telling me that it happened in a day

Isn't the job of the president to search and solve problems

If leadership is not easy, he should resign

Abi them plant him placenta for the seat

So the OP is Kettykin, one of the foremost Trioka of Tribaliststs that ran Nairaland aground.
The other Chief Tribaliststs in the Trioka are DayoKanu and Afam4ever.


I thought you have grown up... anyway,it's good to have you back.

What if after one week, your partner kiss you and on the 10th Day , prepare Ofe Nsala +Banga Soup for you after which, you kiss her too and proceed to suck her breasts.

By the 14th day, she comes to greet you,stay till very late in your apartment that she has to sleep over.

By 10pm, you are both sleeping on the bed, naked and your index finger find its way into her vagina and she start screaming...oh baby, give it to me and you put your Joystick in her horney pot?

GreatResearcher:
I'm the one who made the research with the help of my research team.. I will come up with 10 reasons why you should wait for up to sex months before demanding sex from your new partner.

There are slums and underdeveloped areas in every State/Country so I am more educated than posting silly pictures as basis for comparisons.




There are established indices used in the Academies, Bretton Woods Institutions or UN agencies like Human Development Index (HDI),IGR, GDP, Poverty rates etc.

They don't post highly subjective pictures in UNDP, UNICEF or NBS as yardsticks for comparisons or milestones of development. Badly educated tribal bigots and kids on Nairaland do that.

So compare and constrast these indices in Osun and Anambra, Abia or Imo States. Is that too difficult?

Anambralstson:
I guess this one of the states with highest IGR and GDP?
Oyo was under Tinubu empire, until recently emancipated

You are shifting the goal posts.

At least, there is no Tinubu in Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi or Enugu States and yet Billions of Naira are regularly misappropriated and embezzled there.

Compare and contrast the IGR, GDP and Poverty rates of Anambra with Osun State.

SLAP44:
IGR that ends up in Tinubu bullion vans en route to the caliphate?

Ibeto was importing cement and bagged them locally while Dangote was into local production of cement, it will be wrong to compare them.


Apart from Dangote, Lafarge WEST AFRICA and BUA group also produce cement locally, so there is no Monopoly by Dangote.

There are more buildings and tarred roads in Ibadan alone than the whole of Anambra State.

Anambralstson:
Without external contribution Anambra is standing tall among others, compare with typical Yoruba States, Lagos should be worst if not for other tribes contributions in building Lagos even at that it's still mega slum city

Shut up sir.


Dahomey was a colony of Oyo Empire at a time you were walking unclad in the thick West African forests.

Thank God for British Colonialism, your home State would have been a province of the Bini Empire.

agadez007:
I heard Ibadam was an IDP camp for effeminate yoruba men running away from dahomey women warrior
I can just imagine yoruba man with their big lips and oblong heads running and screaming "aaaaaa egba wa o aaaa"
lol

picture below is a dahomey Amazon with the severed head of your sissy ancestors

I don't do tribal contest.

However, compare and constrast the of IGR,GDP and poverty rates of Osun State with Anambra

Anambralstson:
Otondo, Nnewi are not Osun people that abandoned their backward villages, innoson, Cutix cable, Ibeto, Ngo bros, Ad switch, Tummy tummy, Chicason became billionaires without Lagos, Nnewi is 100 times viable than your backward town, I'm 1000 sure the mud house your grandpale built in Osun is still there, you guys are not planning to rebuild it, you and your pale has abandoned your village for reptiles and busy claiming omo eko, at least Nnewi boast of industries and largest auto market, banks, hotels etc, in your village not a filling station, empty vessels makes ....

1) Equity doesn't necessarily mean Equality.
It is agianst the principle of equity to be asking to be giving the same thing as everybody.

2) The Geo-political zones are not the federating units.

uchedydy:
So on the alter of landmass and population we are justified to slaughter equity. Have you wondered the amount of development that is denied the south East by virtue of having 5 states.
Consider this: if the "least " state in the country goes home with 2billion naira montly from farc. It means the this amount in development is being the se.
In 1 year...2billion x 12= 24billion naira
In 4 years.. 24billion x 4= 96 billion naira.
96 billion naira direct worth of development denied the se from farc, not to talk of private investments like banks and other foreign agencies that would set up in the state and impact the life of people of th e area.

The vS/West is very marginalized.

Do you honestly believe all these your curses will come to pass?

Or you are only good in cursing people but your tongue can't proclaim blessings?
If your tongue can proclaim blessings and it will come to pass, can you bless your self and declare that in 2019, you will be greater than Dangote and it will come to pass?

mknigeriagreat:
FROM TODAY YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER MAKE MEANING AGAIN ON THIS PLANET. YOU WILL ALWAYS BEG TO EAT EVERYDAY. YOUR GENERATIONS TO COME WILL BE BEG FOR MONEYBTO FEED AND TO BUY CLOTHES. YOU WILL NOT KNOW PEACE IN LIFE. YOUR CHILDREN WILL SEE STONES AND CALL IT MONEY BY THE TIME POVERTY HITS YOU.

Ethnic Identity is largely self identity... you are who you call yourself!

In the real sense, there is no remarkable difference between contempary Hutu and Tutsi of The Congo or between Efik and Annang of Nigeria but the colonial administration classified them as different ethnic groups.

Excaperx:
you are very smart. So how do we identify and ethnic group the people people to.

By ancestry or by culture?

Ethnic bigot, I know you will drag the Yorubas/SW into this matter.

SLAP44:
My biggest surprise, is that they paid them a paltry 100 billion naira?

For Pete's sake these marauding herdsmen should be paid about 15 trillion naira and begged with 1000 SW virgins to stop killing Nigerians

You know their leader cannot be arrested and python dancers cannot touch them, they are untouchable.

There are many people in Edo State with Yoruba ancenstries in the same way there are many Yorubas with Edo ancenstries.

In Many States, the ethnic groups may not be easily separated by State boundaries.

It's difficult to tell where Yorubas end and Edo begins.

Both Irele and Ose LGA are NOT oil producing LGAs.


The Bini Empire also included Yoruba people and many people will now call Yorubas have Bini ancestries.

The Boundaries are Political lines for administrative purposes. It's difficult to tell where Yoruba end and Bini begins because were all one!

Favor99:
The Yorubas stole our oil. Is that local government Binis or Owan people?

I think your wife has some inappropriate sense of entitlement.

1) On the LEGAL ASPECT

a) What will be the offence for locking the old woman up? Is it a criminal offence to Barb her granddaughter's hair? Is your daughter harmed in the process?

Where does your wife derives the legal power to lock up anyone that offend her?

b) Your wife committed an offence (Physical assault) to have beaten up your mum. If your mum is educated and wants to cause, she can get her arrested and charged to court for this.

2) On the MORAL ASPECT

a) Your mother was wrong to have shaved the granddaughter's hair without the knowledge and approval of your wife.

b) Marriage is for better or for worse (meaning things may not turn out as we exactly expect), so it's very wrong for your wife to be resorting to emotional blackmail that she will leave the marriage unless your mother is locked up.

If you listen and give in to this devilish demand, one day she will ask for your head on a platter of gold.

My recommendation:

1) Call your Pastor/ Imam to intervene and settle the matter.

2) Let your mother return home (or preferably to one of your sisters or cousins) for a while.

Churchill don buy market

There are so many things States can do.

States have the power and responsibilities to build Tertiary Hospitals, Superb Housing Estates, construct roads and provide Portable water for their citizens.

In which of these areas, do Abia or Anambra perform very well like Casablanca, Cape Town or Cairo?

mrvitalis:
There is nothing much states can do ...and in terms of resources trust me this state are not doing bad

Igbos are in charge of Abia , Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States yet these States have not turned Bahamas.

mrvitalis:
Ignore has never wanted to dominate nigeria all we wanted was to be treated fairly

The truth is we are two different to be a country thats the truth ....

We never believed we would be this hated

The main reason is the rest of the country are dragging igbos back ....we would have developed more than this if left alone

At the initial stage, it was a patriotic movement but by young inexperienced soldiers. It wasn't meant to favour any tribe but Ifeajuna had other plans which I suspect became corrupted by Igbo politicians.

There were at least 3 coups in one going on simultaneously on Jan-15, 1966.

1) The Ifeajuna Coup to exterminate non-igbo Political leaders

2) The Aguiyu-Ironsi's coup to grab power.

3) The very naive and inexperienced Nzeogwu's coup to eliminate bad leaders and put Nigeria on the right pedaster.

Temple1288:
"No. Infact what attracted me to Nzeogwu at the early stage when the coup was being planned was that I asked him if he was going to make himself the Head of State and he said no. He said he was going to bring a civilian who was more knowledgeable and who had what it took to make Nigeria great. I then asked him who that person was and he said the man was in Calabar prison. I said is it Chief Obafemi Awolowo? He said yes. That was why I gave him my support but when he told me it was going to involve killings, I said no I was not interested again."




The ones who knew the truth can tell you it was a coup to favor the Yorubas more.

Victor Banjo was NEVER part of the Coup.

Bede2u:
was ademoyega or victor banjo igbo? Cos they were part of the coup
