The data only came out to confirm what some us already knew to be true. An empty barrel makes the most noise. When we tell them that what brings economic growth to a region is its human capital and not access to the sea port. They'll say, "Just give us a seaport like Lagos and see what we will do." Now statistics have shown that Kano state, which has no single seaport , is doing even better than some states that have access to the ports.

To be honest, I am surprised no one has told us to remove the seaport in Oyo State.

All these baseless reports just to spite Igbos, I just laugh, how I wish this country should just be divided already, come to Lagos and visit all the popular markets infact I can literally say Igbos have over 33% of revenue, the heart of every nation is trade and Igbos are in the forefront of it. If Igbos are to leave Lagos and move back to their region, you will be surprised at the vacuum they will leave behind. All this report nah trash to me.

Apparently, it is only South West and South South geopolitical zones that can survive, if they were a Country. Others will disappear with time😂🤣😂

the gas reserve in Anambra alone can feed a nation. No be by mouth

Richpet85:
Why this so much hatred for Igbo nation, anytime I read through nairaland articles. I see so much hate for South Eastern Nigeria from people commentaries especially from Westerners.
When will this hate, animosity and tribalistic tendencies going to stop.
We are United Nation, we are Africans, we are blacks and we are one Nigeria until otherwise is stated and proving.
Can we invest this energy of calling names and spitting venom to some useful things for the betterment of our collective growth and success.
Let peace reign.

do you think this will ever end. Our leaders are the real beneficiaries of the enmity we create.

within yourself, you should know that lack of political will/deliberate actions is what is holding back other ports in Nigeria (including other ports in the southwest and the northern Baro Port in Niger state) Lagos residents are suffocating under the over concentration of port activities in the state,the only people benefitting from the revenue are the political class,a president from Ogun, Delta,Edo,Always Ibom, Rivers etc would make it a priority to make ports in his home state or region operational. The colonial masters had ports in every part of Nigeria, there's nothing special about Lagos ports.

I speak from a position of knowledge and not of speculation or emotions. I am from Warri, my village is 20mins away from Koko port.
Inland ports are very difficult to maintain, that is if you intend it to ferry huge cargo ships and ocean liners. You have to constantly drag to ensure the river is navigable by big ships. Apapa is a natural harbour that requires very little dredging, that's why the FG sited two ports there.
Then there is the problem of restlessness of the tribes along the river leading up to the inland ports. They have to give you permission to dredge and allow passage of ships through their water ways. Abacha attempted to dreg the
River Niger all the way to Onitsha. The Ijaws refused and stopped the project.

People don troll Igbos tire on tweeter.

Someone tweeted that:

"brown roofs state is more economically viable than five plots of iboland...lol.

Another said:

"The brown roofing sheets plays a major role in generation of VAT"

greenermodels:
Very correct, under a neutral president, even Lagos domination of shipping and airport activities would collapse.
Modified: those quoting me should know that the emergence of Lagos as the main port city started during the tenure of president Obasanjo, it has not been like that before then.

OBJ that denied Lagos years of their statutory federal allocation has now become the latest "developer" of Lagos?

You mean SW are tribal please give me one instance where Yorubas are tribal with evidence.

bjdon:
So na SS and SW dey finance this country!! If only the Yorubas were not so trbalistic, I would advocate a SE SS merger. That would be a very powerful and rich nation.

Skooltynz:
Omo lagos dey really help southwest ooo

Take out Lagos, take out Ogun, Osun, Ekiti

Oyo alone is more than twice the VAT of the 5 SE States combined

SE needs SS as cash cow while they will be the new overlords in such a merger

YouAreNobody:
Remove Lagos (which was built with the contribution of the entire country as the capital for 70+ years), let's see the real figures of the SW

okay, I remove Lagos, let talk about Oyo that contribute more that the whole of south east combined

The South Easterners nko? I think they should set a month aside

North is truly reaping the benefits of Amalgamation. North is supposed to have a date set aside to celebrate Lord Lugard.

chopnaira:
Olodo. Oil only contributes around 5-9% towards Nigeria's GDP

The problem i have with most of u tinubu supporters is that u are the most stupid people ever. Your brains is a clean slate, completely empty.
95% of Nigeria foreign earning is from oil and over 50% of our annual budget is financed from crude oil earning.
This was how ur last year budget was financed.

If you want me to explain the meaning of what you posted and how GDP works, just say please and i will break it down for you.

BloomingDale:
I said he should remove Lagos from SouthWest, let’s see the real figures. Where did I mention South East? I’m from South South and I’m interested in seeing the figures without Lagos and Abuja included.

It would have been also interesting to remove oil earnings from South South so we can see the real figures from there too.

Maybe you should also remove the key state like Rivers from South South to see what will be left.

kinharold:
First ask and check:

What is the physical size and population of the South East? Compare that with the ratio and proportion of productivity and economic contribution.

are you suggesting all Igbos to move back and develop there land?

Igbos are the real parasites. All their monies are audio and social media monies. That's why they come to your land and would not want to go back.

What is the percentage of VAT to Nigeria budget?
What is VAT?

Lets see how intelligent you are

Iziquiel:
Honestly, some of you are very shameless.

I'm very sure must have called the North leeches at one point in time before this data became public.
You're shifting the goal post now that you've been caught pants down.

Data is king.

Data is only useful to those who can interpret it ooh

Restructure Nigeria if e sure una

Fiscus105:
Tell political leaders from dot-nation to do the needful, they prefer to be "Govs, Senators and most importantly ruler over more than 200 million people, they want to have access to Crude oil, Gold, Gas, they don't want to be president over their own tiny nation.

So, if political gladiators ready, they know what to do ok.

Don't you and your political leaders want to keep the trillions you generate? Are you not annoyed South East got 350 billion

We would keep milking your tax till una restructure

Abaki5:
Fuckoff

Who be dis one?

Aboki!

Obidients are naturally dull and you are not an exception. We are taking about total GDP, but you are fixated on foreign earnings only.

Again to clear your mucus filled brain. 👇

Yes, remove it and repost the figures.

Foreign revenue is earned from crude oil. Remove crude and see if Nigeria will not collapse.

You are not Intelligent. How many countries in Africa not producing oil has collapsed?

Even that Oil, the SW is the 2nd largest producer in Nigeria.

Make una build refinery too like dangote

chigator2:
Yet they are not complaining of your tax reform abi. Reform am, infact remove us from the sharing formula, nothing go shake.

Go and find out the only region in Nigeria that built an airport through asusu ( private citizens money contribution ). No be by who tax citizens pass

Gbam. Exactly.

The parasitic region in Nigeria is the SE. That region should be cut out of Nigeria. It's a waste land. No wonder their politicians are not pushing for Biafra, no no better than the IPOB touts on the street Igboland. They know their Biafria would be worst than the worst place country in Africa. Even the white powder pushing and fake drugs they are good at won't save them.

But u go believe another trash if it were to be the other way round?

The leeches can fvck off.

BloomingDale:
