hahaha... E PAIN AM!! I am not even from Anambra, just stating the obvious...
As for ndianambra being illiterate, this conspicuously shows that you know nothing about that state, check the recent rating, achievements by states in education; anambra leads... The state has produced scholars, academics and academia of reputable characters. Worthy of note is the first Nigerian Vice chancellor of that university at Ibadan is from that state in person of Kenneth Dike...

Yinmu. There's nothing to hate about Anambra. The state is all hype and nothing more. And I don't care whether you are from that big traders state or not. For all the noise you all make about Anambra, pray tell why even Ebonyi of all states generates more IGR than that over hyped market state? Where does Anambra rank on the GDP scale? How important is the state economically to the FG? How much does it contribute to the National commonwealth? These are the indices that determine the value of a state to the federation, not over hyped news of Obiano commissioning a flyover? If Anambra was so important the FG would not have called iPod's bluff when they shut down Onitsha in protest recently. Besides Onitsha, what else is in Anambra? Nnewi is living on old glory. Fvck the hype.

No one forced any Bank to be headquartered in the SW. Its the favourable business climate they found there that made them stay. Unity Bank headquarter is headquartered in Abuja. Tell your kinsmen to move th HQ to their village too.

Lagos is part of the SouthWest and would remain so. Ilupeju Industrial estate, Ikeja are all part of the Western region govt of the first republic

Are all the people in New York Americans? So we can remove New York from USA. right?

If the nigerian Federation is restructured and all banks are domiciled in their respective areas of interest and ownership only ,5 banks would be in lagos First bank whose shares are now as cheap as plantain chips, GTBANK, sterling bank, Skye bank and Wema bank which is as good as a micro finance bank.
This would create a very bizarre and big hole in the igr of lagos state that depended on the income tax of banks, oil and gas, telecommunications companies as it's source of revenue.

Obasanjo Farm is not an investment. Its a Federal ministry. Abeg who is the minister in charge?

Have you heard about the business structure of obasanjo farms, have you seen their revenue, expenditure and profits, do you know about the management of the company, ceo,managers, chairman, farm manager, can you eat their products, can you invest your money in it if they do an IPO?

. Dude, I'd be more concerned about Ebonyi overtaking your ovehyped Anambra than the SW -- Ebonyi already has a higher IGR than Anambra. Besides, you folks obviously have serious inferiority complex issues if not why must you always compare yourself with the SW to feel good about yourselves?

Ogun state has already overtaken Lagos as the defacto Industrial hub of the entire country, and Jonathan is on record for saying both Lag and Ogun control no less than 50% of the Nigerian economy. Leave matter for Mathias and face your region.

please visit anambra to clarify your doubts. After Lagos in Nigeria, anambra is the next cosmopolitan state...
Obiano as a governor is performing tremendously that not even Ambode can be compared with him for now, is like you don't know that anambra state has a large crude oil and gas reserve that the states governor is trying to harness currently building oil rigs and other facilities in that regard...
In terms of IGR, corruption and misappropriation has really made the state to large behind, but today Obiano's govt is fixing that anomaly, I hope he achieves it...

South West obviously started developing before others that is why they set the pace however some other regions will catch up in some years time if properly planned. American states are not developed equally either.
Note: Lagos shouldn't be separated from the south Western states because if the aborigines didn't set the platform, the development wouldn't have been concentrated there
This up here, is a mendacious opinion.

Try harder dude. Until Anambra or any of its major cities start getting mentioned in the same breathe as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano, your postulations will remain but mere hype. As it stands, I reckon that even Enugu, Ibadan, and Calabar rank higher in renown and importance Nationally than Anambra or any of her cities. That is the truth. Though I will acknowledge that you Anambra fans are doing a heck of a job trying to sell/market/rebrand the state owing to Obiano's commendable efforts, but y'all really have your work cut out.

Let's rearrange this your list.

1. FCT Abuja
2. Lagos (Former capital of Nigeria): Business and tourism.
3. South South: Oil, fishing, farming and tourism
4. South East: Business and small oil and gas.
5. South West: Business, farming and small oil and gas.
6. North West: Farming, Religion and business
7. North Central: Farming
8. North East: Bombing and farming.

South East: Business and plenty of oil and gas. The oil in SE is more than SS...I know a lot of Nigerians will be shocked by this statement including SE. YOU WILL KNOW THIS WHEN NIGERIA DISINTEGRATES. DON'T ARGUE WITH ME, JUST SAVE THIS POST. Oil in SE is being stolen everyday and disguised as if it were from SS...to continue to deceive Nigerians that SS has the oil, that SE wants SS for its oil, e.t.c; this perpetuates the division. THEY KNOW IF THEY TOLD THE TRUTH THAT A BULK OF THE OIL COMES FROM SE...IGBOS WILL SECEDE IMMEDIATELY. HOEVER IF THEY SAY ITS FROM SS...THIS WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN ONE NIGERIA. THAT'S WHY...THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW SE TO SEPARATE FROM NIGERIA WITHOUT WAR. THERE IS CURRENTLY A THREAD MAKING ROUND OF NUMEROUS CRUDE OIL MAPPINGS GOING ON IN ENUGU BY NNPC. THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES....WHAT IS NNPC DOING IN ENUGU? IGBOS WAKE UP...YOU ARE THE TRUE OWNERS OF THE NIGERIAN OIL.

Yinmy. Only 2 local governments in the entire Enugu are 'developed' out of about 17 or so total, while the rest are glorified villages. infact the developed part of Enugu can't be bigger than Ikeja in Lagos. Yes, I said it and you can quote me. Owerri the capital of Imo is the only part of Imo that can be considered 'developed' by Nigerian standards. Oshogbo and Ekiti have their 'developed' sides too just that we Yorubas are not as narcissistic as you all are, splashing selective pictures of the eye candy parts of igboland. I have pictures of Ohafia in Abia state that is worse than any village in the entire SW.

I think d OP is wrong.For u to measure this by geographical region,u need to measure the rate of development in each states that make up the zone and check d percentage,then u use the average overall percentage and rate each zone.For example,South West is: Lagos,Oyo,Ondo,Ekiti,Ogun,Osun. U check d rate of development in each states and rate overall percentage.Same applies to other zone,then with d data,u rate each Zone. For me, South West is not first,U can't use Lagos alone as a yard stick.

They-Ibos r messing with wrong generation of Yoruba race.

They messed up with Awolowo generation and got served, ducked and bleeped up.

They messed up with Tinubu generation and till date, no single Ibo man make it to any state cabinets in any Yoruba nation unlike last dispensation in which one to two ibos were commissioners.
