Scholes007, sorry, Abia population is not up to 3million. Latest electoral figures showed Abia with a registered voters of 1.9million and that's about 60% of the population per INEC data.
Also, the GDP metrics would amount to a false HDI since the state is largely driving by mechanised farming.

vanbonattel:
Lagos has debt more than the whole Nigeria put together.

Lagos has a corresponding revenue wealth, Abia is a farm settlement.

Zupay:
Pakute e be like say your medicine don finish.

Which town/city in your home state can match Aba's manufacturing prowess?

How many manufacturing factories are in Abia?, what are the products coming from Abia? pls, don't tell me about Aba shoes.

Otti is going to kill Abia same way he killed Diamond bank, whatever he seems to be doing right now is mere cosmetic. The handwriting is on the wall, you can't go borrowing 400billion in a poor state that generates a measly 15-16billion IGR per year, where 70% of its people are peasant farmers. Remember how Otti budgeted almost 1billion for food while public schools got a paltry 25million in the supplimentary budget.

Under Alex Otti, Diamond bank recorded over 200billion non-performing loan for a new generation bank, Otti gave out loans to cronies in reckless abandon. Otti was later sacked with ALL the staffs that came with him. Alex Otti revalued the assets of the bank to coverup for its operating losses. A year later, the Board realized the extent of Otti's mismanagement and declared 78% decline in profit, net income declined by 77%. The bank's Chairman, Chief Dozie sold his MTN shares inorder to reposition the bank but to no avail. Chief Dozie's family regretted how Otti ruined them, Abia might be next

Yo heard!, Yes, Abia is finished like a ship wreck.
-Abia has a population of 2.4million people

-Abia is one of the top 5 poorest state in Nigeria

-Abia is the dirtiest state in the country

-Abia has the third highest unemployment rate in the country with 50.07%

-Abia has an outstanding debt of over 200billion
-Abia has a growth rate of -2.1

-Abia has less than 1% FDI

-70% of Abians are farmers

-Abia civil servants are estimated at 9,000 staff strength

-Abia has the most decrepit infrastructures in the country

-Abia has the most decayed public schools in the country

-Abia being governed by the most incompetent governor in Nigeria

Since 1999, Abia state has been governed from one unfortunate leadership to another, from one corrupt & clueless Governor to another. When you think Abia had had the worst Governor, Alex Otti came in and proves everybody wrong. Alex Otti is currently driving the state down to a grind, he has come to drive Abia state the way he drove Diamond bank.

Ipob's Modus Operandi; Keep repeating lies over and over till it's passed off as truth. It had worked before, it can always work.

Kukutente23:
Actually, the Igbo social and political outfits made a mistake politicising the matter.
Why go to presidents to beg for release of a man held supposedly on court charges. It should have been the courts you'll plead to. The courts will see it as an affront. Native intelligence is important in everything.
I suspect the courts simply refused to free him so as not to look like an appendage of the executive

This boy so daft, he has never heard of political solution.

We no dey chop human meat people wey dey chop human meat na yolubas. Ogun na their headquarter

You dey deny your culture?, okoro savages.

People are busy mining gold and Diamond. While afonjas are busy mining human skulls.

Normal people dey chop goat/cow meat, but wetin una dey chop? human meat, okoro savages.

ProblemChild1:
Skull miners, tue

Coming from cannibals... smh.

This guy called Nonny is not normal upstairs, how can we shut borders and Ghana not be affected?, a next door neigbour. Doesn't have an idea the volume of trade between both countries, poor boy.

Emco1:
Nothing, they basically contribute to nothing. I wondered why Nigeria is still holding them by force to be together in Nigeria. Why not allow them to go?

No one is holding anybody down, this excuse is stale abeg. They travel back to SE, don't they?, does anyone beg them to come back?

Nonny95:
This one seriously thinks Custom revenue comes from smuggling rice and running inside the bush.

I know you have read a report that says 60% of imports from the ports into the country are made by South easterners.

Even if we want to talk about land borders, I am dead sure you don't know that SE has border countries. Naive riff Raff.

60% by ibos says ipob statistics?, are you feeding the whole country?. Are you NNPC that imports the entire fuel that the country uses?, you can see how daft you sound. 99% of your imports are from China, substandard and fake. Our big import value comes from fuel, agricultural products and raw materials, we ain't talking fake charger and desktop here. Trade between SW and her neigbouring countries contribute hugely to customs. You could see how Ghanian trade minister was crying when Buhari shut the borders. Know your level.

gidgiddy:
And that is why you are a unity beggar who cannot do without Igbos. If you could do without Igbos, it would be you people that would be pushing for Igbos to go their way as a seperate country, even without any motion being moved. Did anyone move motion for Nigeria to be created?

Last time Igbos left you people, your father came down to the East to fight for three years to bring them back into your useless 'one Nigeria'

But wether you unity beggars like it or not, Nigeria is heading for disintegration. When the country finally breaks up in to different new countries, you unity beggars can finally find a different job

Load of dogshit, your lawmakers are the unity beggars who will die without Abuja money and you yourselves are a bunch of unity beggars who would start crying when we ask you to leave Lagos.

Nonny95:
Idiroko smuggler shurrup abeg.
This one thinks importation is same with smuggling two bags of rice from Benin republic through Idiroko border. Mûmu

Smuggling is when you bring in goods while trying to evade custom duty but as far as you pay your duties, it ain't smuggling. If we removed custom revenue from the allocations to your region, you'd all have to suffer and sink in more debts.

BitterTruth0001:
No let me help your cure yours… again

Here’s the National Bureau of Statistics for 2022

I will still type it out and add the link

Total trade for 2022 was approx 52.4 billion dollars
Export was approx 26.8 billion
Import was approx 25.6 billion
The difference is only 1.2 billion dollars . How’s is that 82% difference

Meanwhile relating it to the Lagos ports specifically, the majority of these imports were handled from Lagos but the majority of the exports did not flow through Lagos since Crude Oil is included in that export figure . Our oil and gas shipments go through Qua Iboe, Forcados , Bonny, Brass and Escravos by land and through the numerous FPSO platforms offshore.

You don't know shit. Your okrika and fake charger does not add shit to our import. Our import value comes from fuel, Agric & raw materials. You don't count, you only bring in drugs, fake wine and all junks that kills the economy and people

BitterTruth0001:
Lies . Nigeria makes from both exports and imports
What are the exports ?
Raw materials and agricultural produce from the interior of the country, manufactured products from multinational companies, some petroleum products that not shipped via southern terminals are done through Lagos

The importation is dominated by Igbos.

As you can see for both exports and imports , Yorubas have no say there . You people are good at working 9-5 jobs and artisanal businesses.

You better go back to cocoa farming and contribute something to the country instead of living off the proceeds of the sale of your ancestral lands to other tribes

Are you generating statistics from behlnd your keyboard in your room?. Who doesn't know we earn more from exports, both oil and non-oil, Nigeria recorded trade surplus from recent data, exports for 2022 was 82%. Just cure your ¡gnorance and Google the lists of non-oil items we export and countries buying them.

gidgiddy:
Why dont you guys announce referendum date so we can can take you unitu beggars seriously? You guys want Igbos to go back home so you can steal their properties and continue with your useless "one Nigeria". That game had been played before

Nigeria is a failed state, we should all come together and agree to peacefully disintegrate, go our different ways and stop giving each other headache

But you unity beggars no go gree

Who are the "we"?. Are we your lawmakers that are supposed to push the motion?. 99% of you guys are illiterates, you don't know the process of a referendum.

BrodaBenad:
See lie na


Are you even listening to yourself


Biafra war was faught using hunger tactics

On level ground federal troops had difficulty fighting Biafra soldiers because alot of the majors and experienced soldiers were from the east
Infact military to military Nigeria were severely beaten they had to bomb markets , civilian populated areas and farms
They resorted to blockade starve out the soldiers

You don't tell me history of my people. Both documented and told by my Dad who was a veteran of both NA and BA

ipobs sef, all this una "my uncle told me" bullshit, does it makes sense to you?. Nigerian army captured the eastern region, Asaba fell, Enugu fell, Onitsha fell, they all fell and you are here talking crap.










u

Nonny95, you're just too dull to engage in a conversation. The comparison flew over your head. There's a reason customs is one of the biggest non-oil revenue agencies. Last yr, it generated more than FIRS. SW borders are like beehive.

gidgiddy:
You mean Nigeria that is world poverty capital and 8th most insecure country on earth? Nigeria is a failed nation and what we we should be talking about is how to hold referendum, disintegrate the country and go our seperate ways

But we know you unity beggars no go gree

Go back home first, then we take you serious, how many catalonians do you see in madrid?, how many scotts do you see in england?. After destroying our economy, you wants out... Ibo sense.

BrodaBenad:
Bombing of farmlands Market places

3 years is not three months

Even if you stocked your home it won't last

People literally faught on empty stomach


Hunger was used as weapon

There was blockades

And yes the so called supplies were sent around 68

No wise leader will accept gifts from his enemy

We didn't accept any of your gifts . Stop lying


I would respect anyone who put up a fight when their existence is in question

We were feeding you 2yrs into the war until we blocked all the food channels foff our territory because Ojukwu was found out to be diverting the supplies for his army while civilians die. Ojukwu was so wicked to his biafran kinsmen that he outrightly refused foreign supplies for the dying biafrans just for his ego and media propaganda.

BrodaBenad:
Go and tell that to your brothers stuck as refugees in Benin


We have huge number in , Macao, Japan, China, Korea, New Zealand, Australia.

You're talking as if UK,US and Canada are the only countries outside Africa. And if you check the gap isn't even much

Even in Germany there are lot of Igbos there
And yes I agree there are more Yorubas in France


Like or not Igbos are by far the most travelled both within Nigeria and overseas


Within Nigeria Yorubas are the least travelled

Ibos are more in southeast asia for cheap importation and drugs, yoruba are more in europe and America for proffessional services.

nedu666:
Ibadan, Ado ekiti, ota, Ado odo, osogbo, ako baale all these places and many more did not witness any destruction during the civil war, yet when you go there it looks like places coming out from a war. What level if backwardness. Even the lagos you Brag with, millions of Yorubas are struggling to survive yet you say lgbos are running to productive land. Sw is so productive that millions of Yorubas can't seem to lift themselves out of poverty

Stfu with your lies, which destruction did you witness?, tell us. What were those facilities that were destroyed?, schools, hospitals, markets, airports, banks, office buildings, hotels, houses?..mention them, show us pictures!. Stop lying through your teeth everydamn time. Nigeria was still feeding you during the war 6months before the end of the war. you think that's a serious war?. is isreal sending foods to palestine?. Trash!

CrossRhodes:
You sleep and drink Igbos every day like your life depends on them - it actually does depend on igbos...

Without them nothing for you to talk about, write about or cry about.

Igbos will be your nightmare and your ultimate end.

Ibos are like Niger republic, we give you allocation and feed you. You don't really matter to us.

Kossyso:
Here in SE, we depend on charity from the UN and other regions of Nigeria to survive. We have no water, we walk barefoot, we clothe ourselves with leaves, sleep on trees because we can't afford common tatch house, and no hospitals, schools, or tarred roads.
We don't even have economy to begin with.
All we want is for you guys to let us breathe. Is it too much to ask?

stop disturbing us with your wailings, you can't do shit without us.

BitterTruth0001:
What exactly does southwest contribute to this nation ?
The significant economic activity in Lagos is neither spearheaded nor generated by Yorubas in majority numbers .
The revenue from the ports are mostly from importation of goods and we know who dominates that sector .
The major industries are mostly multinationals.

The indigenous people of the southwest are a net consumer of goods and services and it didn’t start today .
Keep living in denial
You must make another deluded thread today about igbos to continue to showcase the extent of your delusion or else no be your papa born you

The revenue from the ports is largely from exports. Nigeria's export is 82% excess, far more than imports. Nigeria makes bigger earnings through what we export through the ports and not the fake cheap goods you bring into the country.

BrodaBenad:
Very untravelled people

Yoruba have the largest number in the US,UK, Canada of any tribe from Nigeria. They don't migrate to barren region where its resident run away like war refugees.

Nonny95, you're a very ignorant boy. Yoruba import from its borders, mostly Rice and frozen chicken/turkey to help mitigate food insufficiency in the country and you don't even need dollars to do that whereas ibos killed the economy importing all sorts of bullshit including toothpick and boiled eggs. Yorubas export fabrics, furniture, iron rods, etc to neigbouring countries of Benin, Ghana, Togo, etc. What does ibos export?..Nada!

Armaggedon:
Yorubaland has nothing to offer. 90% of economic activities in Yorubaland is externally driven, leaving the natives in anger, bitterness and frustration. It is the opposite in Igboland as majority of economic activities is driven by Igbos, giving them control of the regions prosperity.

The little prosperity Yorubaland enjoys is connected to the status of Lagos, while the
major economic problems of Igboland is strongly connected to it's economic emasculation by Nigeria. If Nigeria ends; Yorubaland will fall and Igboland will be economically free.

This is the truth that constantly keeps Yorubas uncomfortable and insecure.

Lol.. Two years running, you shut down your economy yet Yoruba still dey do owambe, hausa\fulani still dey drink fura du nunu. Buhari closed SW border, all of you were crying of hunger and begging him to open border, Lol. Highest revenue from Customs, Ports, VAT comes from SW. If we shut them down, hunger will finish you in SE.
