True federalism / state autonomy will end all these regional arguments ....

SS, SE, SW , and the North would need not argue about who contributes more to the FG coffers if each region is allowed to explore and exploit all existing resources to foster development. ..

It is unfair that for so long the south south has been feeding this nation..its so unfair...

SW has also been feeding this nation. Imagine a nation without Lagos and Ogun state. How will we ever afford to drill ND oil.

The real question is, what is the SE offering Nigeria? What is the North offering?

SW wants true federalism, believe me.

Yorubas also create viable environment so that foreign investors can contribute to Nigeria's economy.


[size=18pt]Five richest states: ‘Ogun is first among equals’
[/size]

In the last five years of the Amosun administration, about 90 major industries have been established due to the investment of the governor in security and other services that boost investors’ confidence. These are multi-billion naira industries. If you check the reports of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), then you know under the current government, Ogun State has attained the status of the industrial hub of Nigeria, which naturally translates into more public revenue.

“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.

And he wasn't lying when you consider the indices from Manufacturers Association of Nigeria's last report as follows:
The SW virtually controls/accounts for atleast 70% of industrial activity in Nigeria.

Love the above..

Southwest Nigeria contributes countless and endless businesses to Nigeria's economy.

Yorubas are the owners of most of the registered businesses in Nigeria.

"They" are the same people that compare their petty trading shops to Yoruba businesses.

"They" have been misled by propagandistic radio station called Biafra Radio.
