Is Sowore Yoruba .? He says explicitly that he is from ONDO state and he is Ijaw. Are you now land grabbing IJAW land?

You guys just open your mouth and spew rubbish confidently, on things you are not knowledgeable of. While agreeing that there are Ijaws in Ondo state, they are not more than 5% of the state's indigenous population, occupying just one LG out of 18 in the state, and this is arguably the smallest LG.

Without the Oil and gas from the Niger Delta, you won't ever see light to power your phone to type that comment.

Ibadan was beyond all of this your delusion because the Yorubas gave Nigeria tv,radio,newspapers and a whole load of what make you live a better life now.

Oil and gas gives money to government. There are more than sixty million people earning income to feed a total of over 220 million in the country. Oil is less than five percent of the economy and it goes to the government which employs maybe 1.5 million people in total.

Did you remove rich Igbos and other tribes in Lagos?
Remove rich Igbos and other tribes that stay in Lagos and come back with your statistics please.

you can be rich and still be multi dimensionally poor.

It isn't calculated on riches

alanto:
Igbos don't have as much millionaires and billionaires as Yorubas. Only Alakija a Yoruba woman is richer than the top 10 richest igbo of all time combined.

You really need to learn statistics. Dangote is from Kano and the richest blackman, why is Kano not on the list?

Ignos are better because they spread their wealth, rather than the concentrated wealth of Dangote and Alakija having billions while the rest of their people are poor

gidgiddy:
Im not entirely sure what multi dimensional poverty means but some people are lucky that the British decided to make Lagos capital of Nigeria, a status it enjoyed for over 80 years

If it had not been for that.........

Point correction the British first made Calaba in Cross River as the first capital of Nigeria

Nigeria is a clown zone


The owners of the resources are down the table due to nepotism.


The region of nepotism and corruption that ought to show that at least what they're holding onto is benefitting their lives and their people, are down down the list.

If you're chest beating at least make e show for chest now. IYKYk😂😂😂😂😂


Note: oyo for you if you want to start any funny battle on this. Our reality in this country calls for serious restructuring and not noise and yapping. Someone somewhere from my region go kon dey happy with the 4/10 aspa "we're not like other regions" 🤦🏽‍♂️😆😆

This is terrible, especially with the borrowing surfing this govt is doing. Trillions upon trillions. Traveling upon traveling. God help us to gbera

Manfromlasvegas:
With 40% multidimensionally poor people? You got to be ashamed of yourself, every single region got to be ashamed of themselves.


It is like taking first with an average of 60% and you are now happy. That is preposterous

A lot of the poor from other regions mostly flee to the SW and they are counted as SW.
Remove them and you will see as SW poverty will cone as low as 10%.

Just think about it...
SW has the richest Musicians in Africa.
SW has the richest Nollywood practitioners.
SW has the richest business people.
SW has the richest ICT people.
SW has the richest sportspeople.
SW has the lawyers,richest doctors etc.
Even SW has the richest churches and pastors.
And the list goes on even when we add abroad to it.

And the funny part is that SW agberos are also the richest...kikikikikikikiki

Obaaderemi2:

They're not ashamed at all. People that can not do well until they migrate to the SW

The Abia and Anambra you see there are they in SW? I'm sure no state in SW except Lagos is better economically than those two states

SpecialAdviser:

Remove rich Igbos and other tribes that stay in Lagos and come back with your statistics please.

The poor Igbos in Lagos or any other SW states are 1000 square times more than the rich ones.
Remove them and see how the poverty stats will improve positively.

Penguin2:
Easy!

Southwest gathered its points because of Lagos, and we know those in Lagos that gave Lagos the point - Igbos.

Remove Lagos and Southwest will be competing with Northeast.

Gbam!!!

But Number One state in the whole country is not Lagos but Ondo state, a SW state.
Na IGBOS full there again? Na IGBOS full Lagos my foot. If Na IGBOS full Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Abuja, SW, NW, NC like you all claimed. Then Igbo is the largest tribe in Nigeria which is closer to lues than truth.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

MrGerald:
The Abia and Anambra you see there are they in SW? I'm sure no state in SW except Lagos is better economically than those two states

But the number one state on that list is Ondo state (SW). Were you blind to see it or na hatred. It means the standard of living is better in Ondo state than any other state in your region.
Show us smyour stat to prove otherwise.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

How did they arrive at these statistics. All SS states are oil producing states. How can Ekiti and Osun with no resources do better than Oil producing states.

The number of Yourbas scattered across the SS states is an indicator that all is not well at home.

alanto:
Those 4by4 shops don't pay tax bro.

Hausa boys riding Okada pay more taxes than the so-called igbo businesses.

this your lies can cook a pot of beans.

PHIPEX:

Ignos are better because they spread their wealth, rather than the concentrated wealth of Dangote and Alakija having billions while the rest of their people are poor

You are being economical with the truth.
Dangote and Rabiu are the main dollar billionaires among the Hausas but Yorubas have more than 4 dollar billionaires and more than 100 naira billionaires that I can post their businesses websites here now.It is even on nairaland here.You will never be able to count 30 Igbo naira billionaires and their business websites.It will even be hard for you to get 20.

Yorubas spread their wealth more than the Igbos and this shows in their lives in that you will see them making impact in all sectors of human endeavors.
If you don't know what spreading of wealth means,it is teaching your siblings,family members what you know and not just giving them stipends.You might not quickly understand this until you move away from your comfort zone.
In petty businesses,even before Igbos came to Lagos,Yorubas especially the Igbominas,have and still give shares of the business and money to the persons who serve them after a certain number of years.
I was even surprised when Igbos ascribed that system to themselves just mainly because they can make noise.

Almost every year,money is repatriated from abroad and UK always brings in the largest chunk and we know that is the second home of the Yorubas.
Most of those monies are for businesses,infrastructures etc.This is a very important part of spreading wealth and nobody does it like the Yorubas.

MrGerald:
The Abia and Anambra you see there are they in SW? I'm sure no state in SW except Lagos is better economically than those two states

Oyo state is by far better economically than any ibo state

stuffs2002:
Dangote and BUA have not said all of that na SE dey talk

Over 60% of cargoes arriving in Lagos are bound for the SE, and you do know Dangote is not the person shipping them to the SE.

Of course the majority of the remaining 40% of those cargoes that are not bound for the SE, are still Igbo owned

So Igbos play a pivotal role in the Lagos economy.

Someone has already mentioned the dominance of Igbos in a great deal of the major markets of Lagos. When you put all these together, you will notice that a combination of Dangote and BUA will not even reach 5% of what Igbos are doing in Lagos.

Let's not even talk of the trans-state transport system with the ATMs, Izundus, GIGMs, Autostars e.t.c that are clearly Igbo-owned.

If it had not been for that.........

Nigeria was lucky to have a well developed city with amenities befitting a country as her capital in Lagos. As at 1914, many regions were littered with villages. Your entire region didn't have a single tarred road, electricity, pipe-borne/potable water or any meaningful infrastructure.

Na why una no know book. The Igbos have more millionaires and billionaires than any other Nigerian tribe. It's not about 1 person having all the wealth, it's about wealth being equitably distributed.

Go school, you say no

No, ChatGPT is not always correct; its accuracy is limited because its responses are based on patterns in its training data, which can be outdated or incorrect, and it can "hallucinate" by confidently providing false information. It's crucial to critically evaluate ChatGPT's output and verify any factual claims with credible, independent sources.

esnbrutality:
Lagos... IGBOs and their entrepreneurship
Ondo....Ijaw and Yoruba mixed. They aren't typical Yoruba.


Where is
Osun....with IGR of Florida
OYO...with IGR of California
OGUN...with factories and IGR of Britain
KWARA..no level. Fulani outpost.

IGBO lands with 90% IGBO population, with self-help and even sit@ home and insecurities wahala are still surviving better than zones that don't sit @ home.

Interesting

you are brutal.. like your user implies
