Gbawe:
So number of Cinemas is now a measure of economic prosperity and socio-economic development? This is the problem with you guys. You are so desperately devoted to trying to prove you are superior to others that you will even ignore facts and reality to then be embracing silly logic all in the attempt to make an ego-driven and non-existent point. Oga, please read the report below and get to work instead of coming here to make a fool of yourself. That new Governors are trying to deliver the dividends of democracy in States like Abia and Ebonyi where Theodore Orji and Elechi have gang-shagged the populace for 8 years does not mean you come here patronisingly proclaiming that this development is an indicator the SE is now richer or doing better than others.

It is widely accepted that the SW Governors, in the past 4 years, were some of the best performing in Nigeria with real and quantifiable gains made in the infrastructure sector. Enjoy what your new governors are doing and continue holding them accountable to do more but don't come here chest-beating about what other Nigerian citizens, in Ogun, Oyo et al, have been seeing for the past few years while the indolent leaders you electorally persevered with give you guys nothing. The problem is that you brag about every little thing and want to use it in your supremacist agenda, driven by the inferiority complex killing you, while others prefer to enjoy what their leaders are delivering while imploring them to do more. Whether you want to accept it or not, "lazy people" and "oyel money" , as you simplistically always posit in the effort to denigrate others, does not deliver the reality stated below. You can see the SW is the major contributor, by more than a whopping 50% per sector, to GDP contributing sectors with little to do with oil like trade, manufacturing, telecommunications and real estate. When will you guys ever reject empty chest-beating, learn to respect others and begin working with the facts and reality on the ground?

How come most SW States are owing workers salaries up and down?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Painment. Why not counter it with a superior argument other than denial? Seriously, I wonder why it is news to only tribalists like you.
Pay up abeg. SE is far afloat and so far has the best administrations since this economic collapse started

What superior argument are you talking about? Anambra is all hype jo, abegi. Obiano accused Obi of leaving the the state with a heavy debt overhang of N106.2 billion when his tenure expired on March 17, 2014.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/face-off-how-obiano-mismanaged-my-n75bn-savings-obi/

While Obi made it clear that the N75billion naira he purportedly left behind were in cash, bonds etc that have now been sqandered by Obiano.
So, if Obi and Obiano are arguing about how much debt they actually left behind and what not, who the funk is that nonentity displaying his ignorance and foolishness talking about other states owing Anambra? Coz that person is a quack and a fraudster who obviously doesn't know what he's talking about since even Anambra is wallowing in serious debt.

You must be a 419er for that 'Pay up' statement you made. Pay Up what? To whom? To that nonentity? If according to Obiano, Obi left behind N106.2billion in debt, then where is the money for him to 'borrow' other states? Where in the world does a debtor borrow others money? Guy, you are a 419er so gerrarahere.

Hmm!

Say no more. Deal with stats and facts. Only SS is economically more viable and solvent than SE, and the good news is that part of Igboland is in SS too
And fun fact is, the SE receive the least amount of allocation from the FG yet remain more economically viable than regions that gulp more of the SS petroldollars in terms of direct FG allocation and projects, in addition to petroleum directly and indirectly linked public and private sector investments.


What this means is that the SE more than any other Nigerian region is more prepared to adjust to life after the end of money spinning era of petroleum.

I don't go about snapping pictures of flyover, but bear it in mind that an interchange is also a flyover. Flyover is not just like the one in mokola, flyover have different types and going by that Enugu has nine flyovers. If you will add ebeano tunnel, which is a railway flyover, then its ten.

If you have been to Enugu, you won't be asking me the pictures of flyovers, if you coming from 9th mile before you get to abakpa junction, you will meet 3 flyovers (the one that leads to new market, trans ekulu flyover and abakpa junction flyover), from abakpa junction to airport road, you will see two (one at new heaven junction and the airport road flyover). If you are coming from port Harcourt (gariki flyover entrance, amechi flyover, ugwuaji flyover and artisan flyover).

In other words, you lied about flyovers in enugu and you can not show us any flyover apart from this railway gather bridge?


Just like I though..

Anambra workers protest 4-months unpaid salaries


Workers in the Anambra Property and Land Use Charge (APLUC) on Monday, staged a peaceful protest to demand the payment of their four months salaries.
The protesters, numbering about 25, crippled the economic activities of the state government as they locked the gates leading to the office.

https://www.today.ng/news/3637/anambra-workers-protest-4-months-unpaid-salaries

All the states in the SE owed workers salaries and they still have nothing for all the taxes and allocations they've been collecting since 1999..

iSlayer:
Yes it is meaningless rubbish. I'll like it to continue like this anyway.

Of course, especially if being shallow and empty is your motto and portion in life..

aresa:

that was then and even at that time, thet were not as indebted as your looting governors with more allocations.

They have all paid except IMO APC.
meanwhile your states are still owing . Which state has the osun situation? Not even Imo

Why are some of you so dishonest and so ethically bankrupt to the extent you are always willing to ignore the factual truth to then be postulating your own wild fantasies? What on earth, even in your wild fantasy world, makes the SE the most prepared region to "adjust to life after the end of money spinning era of petroleum"? Do you actually understand what natural and human resources endowment is that puts the SW in good stead to be the most successful region if it were on its own?

To give you 'fluid' examples even a child can understand Do you know that Cocoa, produced in the SW, is Nigeria's second biggest foreign exchange earner after oil?

Do you understand that the service sector is one of the most important to the economy of Nigeria and that the SW alone is responsible for 55% contribution to this vital sector? Do you know what the SW contribute as well to Agriculture and Industry which are the two other biggest contributors to GDP after the service sector? I leave that as your homework of the day.

http://dawncommission.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Southwest-Economic-Trend-Recall-2015.pdf

Inferring from the newly rebased figure, the SW economy is estimated to contribute over 35% to national GDP, with its
over 55% contribution to the service sector, which contributes about 52% to the country's GDP.

See below for further proof:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nigeria

GDP $574 billion (nominal; 2015)[2]
$1.109 trillion (PPP; 2015)[2]
GDP rank 21st (nominal) / 20th (PPP)
GDP growth
Increase 6.3% (2014)[3]
GDP per capita
$3,298 (nominal)[2]
$6,204 (PPP)
GDP by sector
agriculture: 17.8%
industry: 25.7%
[size=14pt]services: 54.6%[/size]
(2015)[4]
Inflation (CPI)
9% ( May 2015)

With all these overwhelming factual evidence the SW will very okay without oil and without the rest of Nigeria you guys continue to speak crap and pull tales of mythical greatness, based on nothing, out of some drk place where the Sun does not shine. Lawd you guys are something else !!!!They have shown you the statistics, facts and indisputable argument many times and in many different ways yet you guys still come here with your riff-raff fantasies and delusions about some 'greatness' reality does not bear out. Continue wallowing in your delusions and baseless chest-beating. It is what people like you, to your own detriment, are now famous for.

Nigeria: One Country Four Economies Discussion Points
By
Falalu Bello, OFR


a) South West Economy

South Western Nigeria with a Land Mass of 76,852 square kilometres and population of 25.2 million today owns and/or control 60% of the nation’s industrial capacity, 44% of banking assets, 67% of insurance assets and is house to the nation’s three deep sea ports of Apapa, Tin Can Island and Roro; the busiest international airport of Ikeja, three thermal stations of Egbin, Papalanto and Omotosho. Today, its three major industrial estates of Agbara, Ikeja and Otta are all linked to gas under the West African gas pipeline plan and piping of gas is ongoing from Otta to Abeokuta. Added to these, the South Western population today is the most educated as western education came through there and education as a resource was democratized since the early sixties. Geographical location, democratization of western education, availability of resources enhanced in last 9 years and some empowerment during the Obasanjo administration have collectively enabled the South Western economy to rank as first of the four economies in Nigeria. Today, the South West as a region can boast of having a defined growing middle class and is perceived to have at least 20,000 of its indigenes with net worth of over N100m each. Take it out of Nigeria, the South West economy with is defined growing middle class and resources, will be one of the fastest growing economies in the world.


b) The South-East plus Delta

The South Easterners plus their cousins across the Onitsha bridge control commerce in all parts of Nigeria and are thus largely employed. The region has clusters of small scale industries around Nnewi and Aba. The banking consolidation has assisted these people to now have ownership and or control of over 50% of Nigerian banking assets. It also controls 21% of the nation’s insurance assets and 20% of industrial assets. With this development, this region which has not had a commanding control over Nigerian economy will certainly begin to do that now. Commercial activities backed by finance can only grow the economy of South-East plus Delta. The growing strength of financial muscle of this region has been aptly demonstrated by the recent licensing of Micro Finance Banks. Of the over 600 MFBs recently licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Anambra State alone had 74 whilst Yobe State had 1, Sokoto 5, Zamfara 6, etc. There exists also in this economy a middle class which will now grow itself in number and financial muscle and will almost certainly grow its economy inclusive particularly of small and medium sized industrial base.


c) The Northern Economy

The North which geographically is 719,435 Square Kilometers or 79% of Nigeria’s landmass and has 75 million or 53.6% of Nigeria’s population has its economy as a consequence of various reforms introduced, been totally grounded. Today, the North has ownership and/or control of no more than 3% of banking assets and 2% of insurance assets and 10% of industrial assets. True, the North has a huge landmass but this has remained under exploited due to jettisoning of time tested policies of price support (as a result of abolishing of marketing boards without putting alternatives) and abandonment of extension services and quality control. Also, the North has a huge population but the population has remained largely uneducated and/or half educated because of near failure of governance in certain States and Local Governments. Currently its most distinguishing characteristic is grinding poverty. Recent poverty statistics indicate that the poverty level of States in the North has been on the increase in the last 9 years and reached over 80%. Its two commercial and industrial nerve centers (Kano and Kaduna) have seen industrial capacity utilization decline to an all time low of less than 10%. The textile, automobile and beverages companies that thrived so impressively in the 1970s and 1980s have collapsed rendering thousands jobless. Although hydroelectricity is generated at Kainji Dam and in lesser quantities at Shiroro Gorge and at several smaller sites, the entire mechanisms are run on very obsolete equipment and the performance is consequently very epileptic and unsuitable for meaningful economic activity.


d) The South South minus Delta

The South South is largely in the creeks of Niger Delta and has therefore a small land mass of only 48,321 square kilometers and is populated by 13.6 Million people. Notwithstanding the fact that it is house to Nigerian Oil wealth, this region exclusive of oil company activities like the North is also backward economically. It controls no more than 3% of banking assets, 10% of insurance assets and no more than 10% of industrial assets on account of oil related industries that the indigenes do not control. Furthermore, its overstretched land mass has suffered considerable degradation and its aquatic life destroyed. As a region, its people and economy are worst off than the North as it lacks fresh environment, water and even good air to breath.

IMO state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria.
All educational indices put SE ahead of all your states. From cut off marks to enrolment rates.
Didn't you see the MDG analysis of all geopolitical zones ? From education, health,etc SE ranked 1st in 5 out of 8 indices. The thread is still here on NL. But as usual, your hurting brothers were busy giving reasons for your failures, blaming everyone except yourselves.

Post oil Nigeria will make most foreign countries to leave and Nigeria will be left with what it can produce. If the SW action succeeds, foreign countries will invest again but then ,you and I know that igbos are even more technologically advanced and have more indigenous industries in Nigeria.

The same gbawe with his articles. That's how we were deceived with osun igr and GDP till churches started feeding the citizens.

Now this!
The idea of buying Nigerian made is about Igbos, and you know it. Hausa's are even better than you people.

Foreign companies in Lagos are still sources of capital flight to other Nations and they don't even make the resident population richer.

ermmm. i have been reading without commenting yet, but i just got curious.
In what possible universe, is the SW more blessed than the SE in terms of human resources like you just implied.?
I don't even want to go into the aspect of natural resources in which you also made a fallacious statement.

When was then? It's like a thief saying he's not a thief because he stole only 10 kobo instead of 20 kobo.


Even with Osun, they still managed to build and commissioned more infrastructure than al your SE states combined since 1999. Do you need proof because I'm ready with my facts...

Your states are in debt, but still have nothing to show for your debt, allocations and taxes.

ODVanguard:
Bullshyt. Name them. I'm talking about the BIG names, like Film House, Silverbird, Genesis Deluxe, not some okrika Nollywood type shyt where people rent halls and show pirated films. Enugu has just ONE, and that is Genesis Deluxe Cinemas. Owerri doesn't even have one single one. SHoprite is just about to open at Owerri, and that's where the Genesis Deluxe Cinema Owerri branch would likely be situated. The Enugu Genesis Deluxe Cinema is the ONLY standard Cinema in the entire SE. Quote me anwhere.

all these cinemas are in Enugu. Stop behaving like a cave man.

I deal with facts and stats, not jaundiced, biased and tribally motivated opinions like the one you just copied and pasted.

https://www.nairaland.com/2913833/again-south-east-leads-wassce-performance

This shows that the SE has the most educated and cerebral citizens, a recipe for building a great nation.

https://www.nairaland.com/2732630/lates

The above shows that the SE receives the least from the FG, yet remain more economically viable than the North and SW.
A factor that shows that the SE benefits least from Petrodollars, and will be relatively less hit economically Post crude oil era.

: https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment

The above shows how more advanced the SE is in uplifting her citizens than the North and SW, another pointer to why the Igbo nation will be a great independent one.
