Sir, Apple is one the most capitalized company in the world, but manufactures its product in China and Hong Kong.. These companies in Ogun contribute in terms of GDP, labor, IGR and industrial output to the state and nay Naija. Aba is trying but these are smal scale production.. In Onitsha, SAB Miller built its factory at $ 100m while PG built a plant in Ogun at $300m. So it would take about 300 rich biz folks to build such in Aba, assuming $1m can build an SME.

I keep wondering if d OIL was a gift or a curse to this region which made them so Lazy, Corrupt and underdeveloped. Infact d most popular Slogan in d Niger Delta is " our oyel...this really made me laugh

Flyoruboy:


Lol. Are you minding that goat? Na only Breweries them get as 'industries' in the entire SE. Ogun state has the LARGEST DEPOSIT OF LIMESTONE (USED FOR CEMENT) in the entire country and arguably the African continent, and hosts the biggest Cement Factories as well. SE folks love getting drunk a lot -- which reflects in the rubbish they are yarning here -- hence the preponderance of Breweries all over that region

How much akpu did you eat today? You just wake up and start Allocating reserves? You are a lunatic

Oga I still dey wait.

Name just one product "produced" in Ogun that has more locally inputs in production.

I am still waiting.

Yes we told them that Boko Haram is not about crude oil but the CRIMINAL/ROGUE COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA. Boko Haram are doing wonders ..........
Eboes doing wonders with drugs and baby factories? Cannot build Niger Bridge,cannot solve erosion

Eboes deceiving themselves since 1759

Make no mistake about it. There are heavy economic activities going on Aba and Onitsha. They are part of 5-6 cities/states that control 85% of financial transactions in Naija according to CBN.

Since you asked for just one, here you have it: Cement Ogun state has the largest deposits of Limestone used for Cement production and the largest Cement factories in the country. The state houses the $1bn worth Ibese Plant, not to mention Lafarge WAPCO.

It's no news that only 13% of 2016 budget will be funded by the SALE of Crude

Which means that Nigeria is gradually diversifying its economy away from the Oil sector which is expected to even "nose down more". By d time Iran starts pumping their Oil into the international Market, also with d demand for cleaner energy rising day by day and d Cost becoming cheaper and cheaper, I can tell u that in d Next 20 yrs a bucket of Clean water may worth more than a bucket of toxic crude.


What will become of ND a report that has been raped by the Nigeria Government for the past 10 decade

I keep wondering if d OIL was a gift or a curse to this region which made them so Lazy, Corrupt and underdeveloped. Infact d most popular Slogan in d Niger Delta is " our oyel".

The only time ND man is considered in the scheme of things in Nigeria is compensation because of their Oil. Eg emergence of Goodluck Jonathan etc,

Now that the value is gradually diminishing and d reseRve trying, you wonder if this region has done enough or if they are prepared for the storm coming their way.

I must confess, am happy we re moving away from Oil and you are happy too but what will become of our brothers who only relevant is dependent on CRUDE

Nigeria finds oil and gas in commercial quantities in Anambra


About 30 tcf of gas and 1 bn barrels of crude oil has been found in the Anambra River basin in Anambra State, the Director of Engineering standard in the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mr Patrick Onwumere, said in Awka.
Mr Onwumere who led a team of experts to assess the volume of gas and crude reserves in the Anambra River basin as well as gauge the preparedness of the state government in the establishment of an indigenous refinery through its oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources, said the team was impressed with what it saw on the ground.

His revelation was coming on the heels of a confirmation by the Managing Director of Orient Petroleum, Engr. Nnaemeka Nwawka that a large hectare of land for the construction of the refinery which would be sited at Otuocha in Anambra East Local Government area of the state had been mapped out. Nwawka added that the only thing delaying full acquisition of the land is the state governor's signature on the certificate of occupancy (CoO) for the land.
According to Onwumene, his team's visit was a preliminary move which has to do with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the area, the level of land acquisition promised by the governor, and the examination of the extent of work done so far by the Orient Petroleum Resources.

Onwumene also said he and members of his team were interested in seeing that the exploitation of oil and gas takes off earnestly in the state and expressed his team's satisfaction on the state's preparedness to accomplish their exploitation. He said Anambra State had three sources of oil supply which included, the existing local reserve from the Brass/Agip, import from Venezuela as well as the already discovered wells at Oroma-Etiti in Anambra West and Otuocha in Anambra East council areas of the state.
Onwumene said his team found that the state's oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources had maintained good relationships with the host communities, especially those bordering where the refinery would be sited. He added that with the take off of exploitation of oil reserves in the very near future, a lot of jobless indigenes of Anambra State would be gainfully employed.

Well, whatever they 'control' must be limited to their enclave coz it hardly makes a dent on the overall economy at large, if just Lagos and Ogun alone (according to Jonathan) control over 50% of the rest of the entire economy. Just saying.

pasol4real:

This one na mumu o ,Why dont u go n do Ur ownbaby factory n change Ur miserable poorverty lifes .u ppl of South West will keep on bin jealous of the igbos till the end of time.
Aint nothing u can do about it cos we are blessed by the almighty God.
Only the Igbos can survive in Nigeria without oil.

TheDevilIsALai:


Actually the Yorubas are the ones chanting that more than the ND people.

TheDevilIsALai:


Firstly you are wrong on Ogun having the largest deposits of limestone, that record goes to Sokoto which has the worlds largest reserves.

Secondly, this is exploitative mining and not entrepreneurship .

Abi we go chop cement?

The deposits in Ogun were exploited to meet the housing demand in Lagos.

And besides I can bet you have just one cement factory in Ogun. Is this factory going to employ everybody in Ogun and is it going to form the next Sony which started off as a one man venture?

PigMeat:

What happened to cross river state after it lost all of it's oil wells to akwa-ibom and cameroun and became a non-oil producing state? Can any state in the south west or up north be compared with it's development? Niger_delta is blessed beyond oil.

I guess yorubas didnt exist before crude was found,una just daft.

Which economy do you control?

These multinational firms pay tokens as tax and employ cheap labourers and at the end of the day repatriate back all their profits out of the country to pay dividends to their share holders .


We want to see local industries springing up and keeping their wealth in the economy.


Use brain..

“When Jimoh was talking about World Bank statistics of the poverty rate in regions in the country, he said South West has least in the country. In fact, Lagos and Ogun contributed almost 55 per cent of the economic activities.
