This still boils down to the edu action standard you have in South West no wonder South Eastern schools have been taking all the awards


Now how do you know that South East are relocating en mass... When you don't have state to support that

Okay let's even assume they are relocating ...are they not Nigerians and they can live anywhere if you don't want them ... EXPEL THEM AND STFU ...TO THEIR BIAFRA .they have tons you for the past 50yrs they don't care about your Shit hole... But you people keep begging them! Please do what malaysi did to Singapore...EXPEL them ! Period or deal with them and cry forever for the being in Lagos

Now finally! We have lots of Asians in Nigeria such as Chinese , Indians and others... Does it mean that Nigeria is far better than these Asian countries ?


I still don't understand the quality of education action in South West.... They should make DEDUCTIVE REASONING a mandatory subject in that region

The way some of you reason is funny and that is why you guys keep having inept leadership from your kings to politicians

lawani:
Yes you can't compare Imo and Ekiti in population but Ekiti is doing more value added production than Imo despite the lower population. That counts for something

You can compare Anambra and Osun. They are almost at par in everything from number of hotels to number of banks and etc. You can Google check and all those companies are paying salaries while according to NIN Anambra has a higher population

You can't compare Abia and Ogun. Ogun is more than double the population of Abia according to NIN and if we consider active sim cards Abia state has far less people per Capita using phones that live there. Abia is not up to Ogun by any standards. The ratio is like 2.5 to 1

Ebonyi and Ondo?
That is a total disrespect. Ijesha is half of a senatorial district in Osun state and Ebonyi is around the same development as Ijesa. It should be less developed if not because it is a state and is receiving huge allocations. Ebonyi as a whole is not as developed as Akure which is the capital of Ondo state. This is not the 1960s. You can know how developed any constituency is nowadays via Google searches.

The number of banks and hotels in Akure alone should be double the whole of Ebonyi state

helinues:
Can you see the reason why no one will vote anyone from your region as the president of Nigeria

Instead of you to be telling us what you have had achieved as a region to have warranted the position, as usual, you are busy attacking others

Annoyingly, if this is an individual behavior, it would have been fair but group of people having same mentality like this. Oh dear

helinues:
If your thread is basically about Igbo presidency, what's the tom dick measuring for?

ariesbull:
I stilld ont get it with the level of education ayii and thinking

Anambra and Osun is in par... In what areas..isn't it Oshogbo , isn't BAT from Osun , isn't Osun that will have election and we have seen the level of development there


You can't even compare Oshogbo which is the capital with Nnewi which is a 3rd tier city in Anambra


Is it Ado Ekiti that backward place do you want to compare Ado Ekiti with Owerri... The Nigerian Las Vegas

I still don't get it


Make Una first of all..tidy up insecurity in your areas, let the bias stop running, the pay your debts before you can start comparing with East!

Bro east has left you guys in terms of development that's why Igbo go back every Christmas they keep developing their regions , investing and ploughing back profits
When was the last time you went to your village to mould a block.... Oh you are claiming Lagos

ariesbull:
It's not about Igbo presidency,it's about how we aren't looking at regions work capacity to deliver and having inept ..


The north couldn't deliver their regions in any facets from agriculture to security... And they grabbed the national leadership did it change anything ?

It's not about Igbo presidency its about ability to deliver !

lawani:
In what way is Anambra far above Osun? It is only because it has a bit higher population and no other way and that population is not made up of local people. By indigenes, Anambra will be around one third of Osun

Some arguement should be done ..this picture are just aerial views of Onitsha and Nnewi and they aren't the capital cities ...the capital city is Awka and I don't even want to go there ...

It will take Oshogbo 100 yrs to get to this level and mind you individuals built this ....


When comparing Anambra State and Osun State in terms of economic strength, human capital, private investment, and urban development, Anambra generally stands out because of its strong culture of entrepreneurship and indigenous wealth creation. Unlike many states where economic activity is driven mainly by government spending, Anambra's economy is largely powered by private businesses, trade, manufacturing, and investments made by its own people both at home and in the diaspora.

One of the clearest examples is the city of Onitsha, which is widely regarded as one of the largest commercial centers in West Africa. The city's massive trading networks connect suppliers and buyers across Nigeria and neighboring countries, making it a major hub for commerce and distribution. The economic influence of Onitsha extends far beyond Anambra, supporting thousands of businesses involved in transportation, logistics, warehousing, finance, and retail trade.

Another major advantage for Anambra is Nnewi, often referred to as the "industrial capital" of southeastern Nigeria. Nnewi is home to some of Nigeria's most successful indigenous manufacturers and industrialists. The town developed a remarkable culture of entrepreneurship that transformed it from a relatively small town into one of the country's most important manufacturing centers. This concentration of indigenous capital and enterprise is rare in Nigeria and has played a significant role in Anambra's economic growth.

The state's economic performance reflects this private-sector strength. According to Anambra State's economic planning documents, the state's Gross Domestic Product was estimated at about ₦4.71 trillion in 2020, placing it among the stronger state economies in Nigeria. Much of this output comes from trade, manufacturing, telecommunications, construction, and transportation rather than dependence on federal allocations.

Anambra has also produced some of Nigeria's most successful indigenous investors. One notable example is Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma, who established Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing, Nigeria's first indigenous automobile manufacturing company. His investments span vehicle assembly, motorcycle production, plastics, and other industrial activities, creating thousands of jobs directly and indirectly. Another prominent businessman is Cosmas Maduka, whose Coscharis Group grew into one of Nigeria's largest automobile and industrial conglomerates. Similarly, Cletus Ibeto built the Ibeto Group into a major player in cement, petrochemicals, manufacturing, hospitality, and logistics. Chika Okafor also established significant investments in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and industrial production.

The concentration of successful entrepreneurs in Anambra is one reason why the state is often regarded as one of Nigeria's strongest centers of indigenous wealth creation. Unlike economies dominated by multinational corporations or government institutions, much of Anambra's wealth is owned and controlled by local entrepreneurs who reinvest in their communities.

Diaspora investment further strengthens the state's economy. Large numbers of Anambra indigenes live and work in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and China. Their remittances have contributed significantly to the development of residential estates, schools, hospitals, hotels, and community infrastructure across the state. Although precise state-by-state remittance figures are not officially available, the visible impact of diaspora investment is evident throughout many communities in Anambra.

In terms of human capital, Anambra has long enjoyed a reputation for educational achievement and professional excellence. The state has consistently produced large numbers of doctors, engineers, lawyers, academics, and business professionals. Strong family investment in education, a vibrant private-school sector, and a culture that values academic success have contributed to these outcomes. This emphasis on education has helped create the skilled workforce that supports the state's commercial and industrial sectors.

Urban development is another area where Anambra has an advantage. The state is one of the most urbanized in Nigeria, with major urban centers such as Onitsha, Nnewi, and Awka serving as important economic and administrative hubs. These cities have benefited from long-term planning initiatives, infrastructure development, and sustained private investment, helping to create a more dynamic urban economy.

Taken together, the combination of large-scale commerce in Onitsha, industrial manufacturing in Nnewi, strong diaspora engagement, substantial indigenous investment, and a highly entrepreneurial population gives Anambra a significant edge in economic activity, urbanization, and wealth creation. While Osun State has made important progress in areas such as education, governance, and revenue generation, Anambra's unique concentration of private capital, industrial activity, and business leadership has enabled it to achieve a higher level of economic dynamism and broader private-sector development.

But they aren't owing and the Region has being doing fantastic before the AEDC find came just last year or two


The region that has less debts ans more secured is South East while in southern Nigeria ...South West is the most indebted and the most insecure region

Facts and stats are there ...not me that said it

Ttalk:
Okay, because Dangote is indebted to many institutions now mean you with your kiosk is doing better than him.

Why is America the number 1 debtor in the world still regarded as a leading economy?
Miracle centres no be education o, Peter Obi should be blame for that mess

garykoeman:
When they were made senate president, the position was rotated among the five states as a result of one corruption or the other.

Kalashnikov49:
Tinubu As a Yoruba president has failed woefully

lawani:
You like using fancy photographs instead of published data and that is a problem. Osun state has the highest number of urban centers in Nigeria and these urban centers have been in existence for centuries. The urban centers are spread across the state which is much bigger than Anambra state but Anambra today have more population than Osun state according to NIN just like Lagos too have more population than Osun state.

Osun's economy is more agrarian than Anambra's. There are agro allied companies here that are bigger than Innoson by number of employees and the gold company here is much bigger than Innoson amongst others

However because of the higher population Anambra should be ahead. They have more hotels by around fifty and more banks

ariesbull:
Call the Osun state urban centres ..In short let me help you with their pictures

Do we have any left ?

There are still more. Those areas that were photographed have been existing for centuries and in those cities new mansions spring up everyday. I know the ones being constructed in my immediate surroundings

So what have you proved with the pictures? It does not change the fact Anambra just has around fifty more hotels than Osun or that no company in Anambra is bigger than Segilola Resources in Osun by number of employees. No company in Anambra is bigger than IBPlc in Ilesa. Deshalom pharmaceuticals in Ilesa is more than one quarter of the biggest private pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria by number of products and number of employees. Those are facts. I can go on and on. I know an agro allied company in my local government employing up to one thousand people and there are others
