Don't worry. When dollar hits 500 naira and the govt bans every importable goods , you will be forced to buy made in Aba shoes. grin
There are locally made shoes for sale in Zaria. So after all the boasting shoes are the things you produce? I thought you guys produce rockets and bullet trainsgrin

It seems like something is wrong with you. Can you tell me more about una "industrialization"?

Why didnt you build niger bridge instead of disturbing the government that you dont need? Why did you disturb the government that you dont need about sea ports? I dont want to go deeper
Did you build 3rd mainland, Eko Bridge, or even carter bridge with your money

This is the folly of relying on stereotypes. You gang up SE and SW as one homogeneous group with stereotypical behaviors. Within the SW the Ijebus and Ijeshas are as entrepreneurial as Igbos if not more and we have enough igbos in service based industries (multinationals). Let's stop the tribalistic display and hubris. Its why Africa is held back as a continent.

You see your life?

I have caught you again.

The same repackaging firms that are mainly operated by multinational companies.

Ogun is where most Lagos packaging firms relocated to in the early 2000's after Tinubu drove them away with over taxing.

There are hardly any indigenous firms there and they are simply repackaging and redistribution outlets.

Ariel will import drums of their detergent from Lagos port and transport it to Ogun where it is repacked to meet the low income market.

You can't compare Ogun to Aba because these firms in Ogun invested in Ogun as a location but in Aba a network of small manufacturing firms are thriving on their own investments and skill.

If I earn 100,000 and have to pay 5,000 to service bank debts am I poorer or more indebted than a man who earns 10,000 and has to pay 4,000 monthly?

Use your brain.

Apart from Lagos none of the states in your region come close to the ND.

And with all honesty can you say that Baylsans are poorer than Osunites who are facing an acute famine than even those in the ravaged NE?

Admit it ! Your people are slightly better than your almajiri cousins from up north.

How can civil servants require food aid from churches and FERMA ?

That is what happened in your osun.
Quit shifting the goal post,you said 'HIGHEST DEBTS' not worst debt profile,they are two different things

You use your brain

.....How the fact that less than 3% of a population of a state didnt receive salaries means the state is suffering from famine,is part of what i dont get.Osunites made a lot of noise about the unpaid salaries,true,but we didnt know imolites were owed until news broke that a worker attempted suicide.A man from bayelsa actually commited it....by the way i didnt write the report,the UN,NBS and WorldBank did.

You asked for industrial hub not a processing hub.

Do you want me to define the word industrial for you? In the process of trying to project ethnic superiority, you end up ridiculing yourself.

Next time ask specific questions.

And what is Ogun and Oyo known for?

Which specific industry is Ogun known for?


Pls name at least one specific industry Ogun is know for.

Aba is known for their clothing and shoe manufacturing.

Warri is known as an oil city and it has several hundred small dockyards and fabrication work yards owned and operated by local populace serving the oil industry.

Pls tell me what Ogun industrial base is known for.

point of correction. We are not lazy. You say the ND is underdeveloped but is still 20 years ahead of the SE. And in The SW, only Lagos can compete with PH, Delta, or Akwa ibom. you should worry about your region first. Niger Delta will always prevail.
ND ahead of SE in terms of what?? Education, GDP per capita, poverty rate?? We are talking of post oil bro!!

The largest gas reserves are in the niger delta basins i.e SS,benue,bornu and then anambra.


http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/nigeria-s-gas-reserves-life-index-stands-at-79-years-says-dpr/215813/
Forget about the rigmaroling in that piece. The most important information there is that Nigeria has a proven gas reserve of 188TCF

Now Anambra state alone has 30+tcf out of it. Imo state should have about 30tcf also. Enugu grts an honourable mention even though I have never seen their figure but I will guess Enugu has about 20.
Already, these 3 se states has about 80tcf.

Now add it to the ones in Abia and Ebonyi and you will notice that the 5 Igbo states have about half of Nigeria's total gas reserves.

Add the ones in Anioma and Igbo/Igboid areas of Rivers state and you will notice that Igbos probably have about 65% of Nigeria's gas reserves.

I remember Kachikwu said two months ago or so, that reserves were about to be discovered in Borno hopefully by December. I don't know whether they have been successful at that

Bro, Ogun is a manufacturing hub for companies like Unilever, Nestle.. But state managers have left the state with huge debt.. Right now, the state has a negative cash flow. It spends more than it generates!!

You talk like a child. Does your mother have a problem with vomiting?
All your emotional twaddle is irrelevant. Ibos are never rational when it comes to politics and so you need to personalize things when you are losing an argument. Of what relevance is my personal stand on Biafra? The fact is if Biafra is to be realized it will have to be done constitutionally. Address the issues raised about going through elected representatives. Why should I join IPOB? IPOB is not popular even among the Eboes if you are contest for elections as advised or get weapon and start a war those are your options.Stop making noise
You are more childish than a child. Per the bolded, this is the crap that can only come from the stream of thought owned by an idiotic child. The realization of Biafra cannot be hedged on constitutionality because Nigerians have shown lack of respect to their constitution. Who takes a bet with fish in the case of water. Nigerian government, just like you, should shut up when constitutionality is the subject of discussion.

That is a repackaging hub.

An industrial hub is known for a specific output,

Detroit is the car industry's capital in the US.

Silicon Valley is know for software and computers.

California is known for shipping.

Louisiana for oil and gas.


Ogun is just a host for different consumer packaging firms.

You have Google for such information.

But even in terms of processing raw materials into finished goods and not just mere rebadging Chinese goods. Lafarge, British American Tobacco, Nestlé, Procter and Gamble, Assometals, May and Baker, Intercontinental distillers, etc etc. All these are huge multinationals. Again I'll refer you to a search engine.

But let me hint on a little secret why SW seems to attract huge industries. Well we've been organized as city states for centuries so the economic strength of our population centers are huge and massive. Which makes it a no brainer for any investment decision. Even stuff you produce in Aba will get traded in SW and you know the profit center is typically the difference between retail and wholesale.
Essentially what you "manufacture" in Aba only generates little income for SE since the margins will be made in the SW due to trading. So while some people manufacture stuff, the real money is in the service industry shortly followed by trading.
SW advantage of having huge educated population centers will always ensure its economy activities is higher than most areas. We attract investors and traders like flies to shit.

It's not accidental that Financial Times called Ibadan one of the next big african cities to watch. Just hope they get rid of that Adedibu mediocre legacy.
