If all.the industrialists from Anambra decide to build their Industries in Anambra, where will you find the land for such?
Lagos has 20 million people of which 17 million are not original Lagos people.
If more than 30% of all industries in Nigeria are in Lagos the smallest state by size, then you have no point. The major problem stopping people from bringing their businesses to the state is security and the ease of doing business.
they all scattered in south west making a living at the end of they date they keep saying bad things for people that welcome them and accommodate them, bunch of ungrateful people
Not true sir. I used to think that Igbos are a majority in population and that we have more Igbo outside SE but data has proven otherwise. There are more Igbo living in the 5 Igbo SE states and Anambra is no exception..
My hypothesis is that Igbo population has been inflated. The most emperical data show that 20% of Igbo are domiciled outside the SE, 80% are domiciled within the 5 Igbo SE states and the Igbo population is actually a minority population.
Luckily, numbers do not have emotion. Below are the facts:
1. Due to history, cultural affinity, linguistic spread of the Igbo language and Igbo-speakers, most of this 20% Igbo living outside Igboland will be more in states such as Rivers, Delta, Kogi and Benue that border the 5 Igbo SE states than far away places like Lagos, Kano and Abuja.
2. Data from recent inec voters registration for Osun alone is higher than the total registration in Igbo South East (screenshot below)
4. Data from 2021 JAMB registration show that 447,857 are indigenes of SW states that registered their states of origin as Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun for JAMB against 320,306 indigenes of SE that registered their states of origin as Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra. Only 20% (70K out of the 320K) of the JAMB candidates of SE origin live outside the 5 Igbo SE states.
5. Demograhics data of internet subscribers also support my hypothesis like other demographic data captured with better data capturing tools, https://www.nairaland.com/7203013/states-nigeria-largest-internet-subscribers that validated my hypothesis that Igbo population in SE is inflated and the Igbo are a minority group in terms of population.
The politicians knew this reality all along hence no serious effort to canvass for votes aggressively in SE like they do for other zones.
SE may just be same population as states with similar land size as it like Kaduna or Katsina or Oyo and the SE is by far the least populated of all the geopolitical zones.
As things stand now, no serious contender can bank on votes from SE and a serious contender will not get the voting strength incentive from the SE.
The SE is a minority vote region even far behind the minority tribes-dominated SS from these data.
Data from JAMB show the Igbo population is abysmally low, so low that only Imo state featured in the top 10 states with registered indigenes sitting for JAMB and for Igbo dominated schools, the Igbo were no. 4 top for universities with UNN ,No. 8 for polytechnics and no single college of Education in Igboland made it among the top 10 colleges of Education with highest registered JAMB candidates ! https://utmeofficial.com.ng/jamb/jamb-registration-statistics-2020-2021-by-course-universities-polytechnics-nce-and-state-of-origin/
On number of JAMB applicants who are Igbo, Anambra state is the Igbo state with the highest number of registered candidates yet was No. 16 on the list far far behind! And all the JAMB candidates registered for JAMB in the whole of SE just adds up to about the total candidates in Lagos state alone or sum for Oyo and Ogun.
As at now the best and cleanest data indicate that about 80% of Igbo are domiciled in the SE while 20% are domiciled outside the 5 Igbo SE states.
Out of the 320,306 Igbo candidates in the 2020-2021, max.(when you add total candidates that registered for JAMB in those 5 SE states and assume they are all Igbo) only about 250K(~80%)account for candidates that sat for exam in the SE while about 70K(20%) are Igbo candidates who registered outside the SE to represent the total Igbo candidates. It makes sense because you have more Igbo domiciled in SE than outside SE.
So where is the high Igbo population I used to imagine??
Internet subscribers; low
Inec registration; low
Jamb applicants writing Jamb in SE; low;
Jamb applicants based on State of origin; low
land mass; low Yet Analogue Census; High(?)
So all these data conflate to prove that Igbo are a minority group by population but have inflated numbers which call for scientific enquiry.

Don't give yourself hypertension on Igbo matter. Leave population if you think they are not populous, it's about quality people. We know people that used to pride themselves as most educated, hope they know how the story is reflecting on unity school cut off Mark and other areas of education.....
PresidObi: Anambra is a small state with a very large population. Anambra cannot contain all of Anambra people and all their large companies, estates, offices etc.
Anambra has spilled into many neighbouring states like Delta, Enugu, Imo.
Since the 1940s, Anambra people have been moving into other parts of the world, but they always return, with a lot of prosperity.
That's what people don't understand, even agitators for secession. We the igbos actually needs Nigeria the same way Nigeria needs us. The east is too small for the IGBOS. Most of the IGBOS are not in their state of origin (the numbers coming out from election exercises and census in the east far under represent the true populationof the igbos). Igbos more than any tribe in Nigeria engages in migration. This is why if a census must be accurate, it must ask for people's ethnicity. You can't just come up with a census and say the people in Kano are so so millions. Igbos are undoubtedly the second major ethnic group in lagos with a population of about 20million. This tribe is in every corner of the world. Igbos should get serious with politics. They should learn it the way they learn trade. Power is more important than money. A guy with a gun will collect the twenty million naira you keep in your house. The north by nature takes politics more serious than the south. This is why the have power. Igbos needs a safe Nigeria. Igbo doesn't need Biafra so much. What they need is to start prioritizing politics and start making friends. If you do not take politics seriously now, some people with guns one day will come and pursue you away from the lands you have so much invested in. Then you will have to leave your houses and businesses and run back to the east to start dragging the small land with your brothers their.
ANSMEDIA: Stop spewing nonsense. The Governor is making a political statement. Anambra is still the most populous state in Nigeria aside Lagos, Kano and Rivers. And the state has figured out waste management system that other states in Nigeria should copy.
Expect Improved Waste Evacuation Process Across Anambra State
-as 31 contractors are mobilize to work -
Anambra State Government on Thursday, July 1, 2022 mobilized 31 contractors on waste evacuation across all the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.
Speaking to news men on the new development, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Anambra Waste Management Agency, ASWAMA, Chief Ifeanyi Ozoemena, Nzeakonobi, assured of improved waste evacuation process across all the communities in the 21 local government of the state.
Chief Ozoemena, explained that "the state government mobilized 31 contractors on 1st of July and they have all commenced work simultaneously, therefore we are expecting improved waste evacuation in all the litter points henceforth." He further assured that there will be no backlog anywhere going forward.
It will be recalled that on assumption of office on 17th March, 2022, the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, suspended contract of all the contractors handling waste evacuation in the state in other for the new government to review their activities and come up with new modalities that will serve the state better on waste evacuation and management.
I don't care what you wrote up there, let him stop sharing disease to us, clear the goddamn waste, his 100 days in office is dirty.
Many. Lagosians hardly ever go anywhere because they have everything to thrive and not only that their government has helped make life easy for them by providing jobs, creating wealth and supporting their businesses. I was talking about SE governors not employing in their civil service even PO never created any job and someone was like it's waste of money to employ people that's why they do not have openings for opportunities there. Their governors are selfish and create a hostile environment to indigenous people and none indigenes and these people have started seeing it as normal even supporting PO's position on issues like these. His people rely on jobs by FG or civil service in States where they bear Igbo names. They have to lie about their state of Origin.
FuckOsuPigs: Their land is barren and without prospect. That is why they run to other people's land for prosperity
The only issue I have with them is that they are ingrates. Their case is like the proverbial slave accommodated with open arms in the home of his master but soon starts swearing by the ancestors of his master's as if he's one of them.
OriOko88: Only Onitsha and nnewi are densely populated in anambra.. Other towns over there are stark villages with few mansions. I think anambra has high mortality rate hence their low population. The rate at which young people die there is a major course for concern. Its as if d old witches are killing d younger ones....maybe that's one of d major reasons igbos dont stay in their towns.. Fear of village people. I served in ekwusigo in 2016, d rate of deaths then was so high..and people think its normal thing.. They even do Burial like carnival.,and by 6 7 pm everywhere don silent like grave. I quickly japa without looking back after service.
Guynexttdoor: Because u already grouped Igbos only the political way of only South East, I'm from delta state and I'm Igbo. Some part of south south states are also igbo dominated origins
Thank you for educating the whole forum. Quite worried about Nigerian educational decadence and tribalism.
oneeast: Stop mentioning SW. Igbos only go to Lagos. Igbos don't go to yoroobaland which comprises of mud houses infested villages like ibadan, Abeokuta, osigbo, akure, Ado Ekiti
Majority of the people that were killed in the Owo massacre are IBOS.
I think it is population by number as per number of inhabitants, just like Lagos, Rivers, Kano etc - whose major inhabitants are non-indigenes who relocated to the state for greener pastures. I find it very arrogant when these same Anambra ppl claim that they developed Lagos but quite a number of the traders in Onitsha market are not from Anambra, they just came there because of the commerce in the area. And it is silly for them to keep bragging about higher GDP and all that but hate when Lagos claims the highest GDP, as it's only natural that Anambra GDP is better than other southeast states due to it's vantage location...Any area that is close to water and is not landlocked will easily attract commericial and development activites, just like Lagos
But in terms of number of indigenes, IMO STATE has the highest number of Igbo indigenes. No amount of lies by these people will distort this FACT...
Not sure u are Imolite. Riverniger connects d 2 states

[/s] Trash upon trash
A practical example is my family line, over 80% of the kindred are outside the state(not anambra), and I know many others like that.
So your trash makes no sense. If that was the case, I believe Fulani-led FG would have organized a census to humble them.
Anyway, you and your likes are free to give yourselves false hope.
Okpo give us the list. Even when fulani kills your people in your land, you will turn it to igbo. Igbos don't live in mud houses. Igbos are not yoroobaland but Lagos. Yorooba people were massacred in owo,not igbos
Yoroobas are running to lagos. Go back to your mud house infested yorubaland and develop it. You people are causing nuisance in Lagos. Lagos is a Nigerian project. Go back to your backward useless worthless shithole yorubaland. Even Oba of Lagos confirmed it
I am a northerner but I have so much respect for yorubas that have kept there Lagos running as a model state.
And it's such a pity and a shame that these Igbo cowards from a pig style region will move to Yoruba land in southwest and be talking this trash that Lagos does not belong to Yoruba.
If them born you well goto idumota and shout that nonsense. Na your liver got tell you the answer las las.
Na the same nonsense you 1diots go dey talk for South Africa that made them almost extinct you dia.
I am an Awori man from Lagos State. Yoroobas are running to lagos. Go back to your mud house infested yorubaland and develop it. You people are causing nuisance in Lagos. Lagos is a Nigerian project. Go back to your backward useless worthless shithole yorubaland. Even Oba of Lagos confirmed it.
Go back to your cursed backward useless shithole yoroobaland.
