I wonder which part of "I" some people are finding it difficult to comprehend here.

are you the product/s of the nigerian educational system or you want nigeria to take the rap for wherever you were educated.

ayo5511: State that has produced the highest most celebrated and powerful Nigerians both in private and public sectors. Your guess is as good as mine, but I will give it to the following states of the federation:

Here is the state ranking and rating:

1- Ogun

2- Ekiti

3- Plateau

4- Niger

Product of Nigerian Factor alway Revising History to favour their Mediorcity..


Delta state is probably Number 1 followed by Anambra

Delta state has produced Nigeria's Biggest Banks, Zenith and UBA
Ogun will claim they produced First Bank ( previously Govt owned)
Delta state produced Nigeria's First Billionaire Family the Ibru's followed by the Okonkwos in Anambra who made their Billions outside Govenrment Coffers and Patronage

Ogun State far from it has always depended on people like Adenuga ( who made investemnt from a loan syndicated from PTDF through TIB Bank by Atiku

Delta state produced the Dafinone Family which has the highest number of Chartered Accountants
Ogun state

Delta state has produced Nigeria's Top Media houses and brands Thisday, Vanguard and Guardian
Ogun state probaly has non or will claim punch and Tribune whgich are at best Regional papers
Delta state has produced AIT , Nigeria's First Private TV and most successful.

Ogun has none but can claim Galaxy, TVC which dont broad cast beyond Lagos

Delta state has produced the third Number of Graduates after Imo and Anambra

Ogun state is probably 5th or 6th

Ogun,Anambra,lagos, ,Plateau ,Ekiti

It is Anambra and others. Its funny but the fact. Figure out from this link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anambra_State

No single Nigerian state has come any close to the profile of Anambrans.

You shouldn't have made it known on a forum if u have no intention of defending it. I put your assertion down to mischief or ignorance or perhaps both.

for those of you adding plateau state,please educate me on what or who the state has produced!

Do not understand the bolded.

This thread is exactly why Nigeria stinks as a nation. Someone who is drunk on Ethnic bigotry or shall I say inferiority complex opens a thread so he can promote the useless states of Ogun and Ekiti that cannot boast of any tangible world class structure. Then he's shamelessly followed by Igbo folks with the same local ethnic wine that want to smuggle in similar useless states of Anambra or Enugu.

You see why we have not progressed for the last 50 years.

Meanwhile folks are glued to the glorious and heavenly ENGLISH Premier league right there in Lagos Island, others boarding LUFTHANSA air paying double the price, and others talking about states producing THE MOST POWERFUL, THE MOST GREATEST, THE MOST BLACK NIGG.A in AFrica abi?


Fools still

Ogun: Obasanjo, who ruled Nigeria for 11 years about one-fifth of the Nigeria's post-independence life. Ogun has also produced No 2 man in the country(Diya). 2 almost-Presidents, Awolowo and Abiola, are also from Ogun state. Let's not talk about Wole Soyinka, Mike Adenuga, and other big names from the state.

Katsina produced 2 Presidents, Buhari and Umoru Yar'adua, one No 2 man, Sheu Yar'adua.

Niger produced 2 Presidents, IBB and AbdulSalam.

So any ranking that doesn't have these states in Top 5 can hardly convince me. To me, Ogun in particular is No. 1.

Ogun State don try. Soyinka, Fela, Obj and a couple of others cloesly followed by anambra state

Are you alright? How can you qoute your opinion and still force it down our throats as if its fact? You are obssesionally dellusional and sentimentally biased to the point of ridiculiosity. What a bysma-dysmal clownish write up of a typical Ogbomosho aborigene, what is Ekiti doing in the list and were is Anambra?

Bayelsa ;for producing the dullest president in the history of Nigeria

Edo state!

From Edo state we have had a Head of state,two military vice-presidents,service chiefs,numerous federal permanent secretaries(based on merit before federal character) powerful federal ministers,pioneer in evangelical christianity,leaders in aviation and transportation,trailblazed private universities and electronic media,renowned surgeons,lawyers,artists and sculptors,musicians, political party leaders,bankers, sportswomen and men.And the king. Need I go on, and then mention names? You know them.

The beauty of it all is that it is a minority state. The Heartbeat!

torkaka: whatever happened to katsina with two former heads of government,ismaila funtua,owner bulet construction etc

You mean former head rogues and re0tards?That is not something a normal person should be proud of.

Or are u abnormal?

[b][quote author=torkaka]

They are probably proud of the wayward killer,gowon.

Anambra takes the cake no doubt.

ayo5511: State that has produced the highest most celebrated and powerful Nigerians both in private and public sectors. Your guess is as good as mine, but I will give it to the following states of the federation:

Here is the state ranking and rating:

1- Ogun

2- Ekiti

3- Plateau

4- Niger

On which basis did u make this ranking or from which source did u get it..did u just wake up one morning and decide to let your imaginations take the better part of you..

bittyend: I thought Anambra produced more than the whole Nigeria combined, huh?? [size=14pt]Shameless chest-beating Igbo.[/size].

BIG FOOL!!!!..you are too jealous because you know that is true..someone creates a thread with no source whatsoever and doesn't even write the basis of his conclusion.You are so foolish that you believe him even without asking how he came about the list..sorry for you.

ayo5511: What is these okoros talking about? I didnt open this thread for you monkeys to jump into.

The first three topmost states to reckon with when it comes to highest number of celebrated and powerful people in Nigeria both present and past, no ibo state comes anywhere close. Yoruba states takes the first two shots: It is Ogun, Ekiti or either Osun (Awolowo home state) and then followed by Plateau and Niger states.

And what do your states have to show for it? None of your top 3 states even has a single airport. Isn't that downright shameful? Agbepo!

afam4eva: Is Awolowo not from Ogun state(Ijebu) again?

Awolowo is from Ikenne, not quite far from Sagamu, Ogun state.

middle belt might be niger state.

hmm, i should probably revise that.


and, @ topic

define what powerful means, in your context. And how the states obtain this power.

mens dept: This thread is exactly why Nigeria stinks as a nation.
