what do you mean by "usual egocentric mentality that ya'll are known for"? Did you call him out when he said that someone who's been handling the economy of Lagos (the sate with the highest IGR in the country) since 2007 isn't doing anything special? Very typical of you and your kind. You'd never quote him to object to what he said,but would rather quote another person who stated a very clear fact... You can't even hide your tribalistic tendencies,can you?

michelz:
No doubt the OP made some valid points up there. It is quite simple to understand: each ethnic group or tribe have a particular area they excel in; and sadly,the SW have proven they can't manage a complex economic system like Nigeria. This is not a case for tribal insults and rhetorics; the facts are there on ground. You kept on screaming everywhere that GEJ and NOI were not good administrators of the economy,and just within a year you were given the responsibility (after taken almost 8 months to choose the best hands you want to work with),you've taken the country many years backward. Someone above said Ben Akabueze is not doing anything special in Lagos,but we've heard that kind of empty talk many times that everybody knows how big a sentimental lie it is. Simple experiment: remove him (Ben) and bring in one of your numerous "educated quacks" and watch how fast Lagos will turn to Osun state. By the way,the Op never mentioned Igbos; he only said Southeasterners. So need to bring in Igbos exclusively to this.

Wow!
I am sure you have your prove/stats? Please do provide it. Just hope this is not another aba made..

Thank you

Shu..t up
Every up you pulled up there is base on assumption except you can prove it.
Lagos as big as it is can not be manage by one man.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
There is far more hunger in that Ogun than Ebonyi.
How many of the industries are yoruba owned? It's just a den for capital flight, that's why it doesn't reflect on the socioeconomic status in the populace.
Lagos was spared cos of the presence of non yoruba people there, the politicians too have mingled with non yoruba people.
Have you wondered why the economies of other SW people are just there. Debt upon debt for welfare with nothing to show for it.
Stop digressing and tell us why you can't manage economies

michelz:
Hmmm... You really do have comprehension challenges. I'll leave you to your self delusion. Enjoy.

RockHard:
Yinmu. I asked you to mention one SE state that is anywhere near Ogun in economic viability, importance and standing if dem born your papa well. Ogun debt has not stopped FDI from pouring in more than all SE states combined, neither has it stopped its GDP and IGR from performing better than your region's best perforners. There are more Igbos moving en masse as economic migrants to Ogun than Ebonyi and Anambra combined as we speak -- #Fact. Until your people start relocating en masse to your erosion ravaged and condemned enclave you can only blow useless hot air that you lots are known for. No one takes you people seriously here simply coz na useless mouth. Agba ofifo lasan.

Yinmu. If it makes you sleep better at night you are free to believe that even Capetown SA is a no man's land for all i care, but any sane person knows who owns and controls what.


While you're at it, please list those Igbo-owned Industries in Lagos and the SW you keep bragging about that can come close to Yorubas' in the region.

I guess to your sick mind the following SW based industries are Igbo-owned: Honeywell Flour Mills, GZI Industries, ProForce, Elizade, Bi-Courtney, Eleganza Group, Folawiyo Group, Petro Inett, Modandola Group, Manucom Fishing, Aiico Insurance, the Yoruba-owned banks, Insurance Companies, e.t.c. Even SME's (interestingly, after Lagos state, Oyo has the highest number of SME's in the country, higher than any SE state) we are comfortably in the lead. You know what SME's stand for right? And how many individuals you must employ to qualify as one?) all located in Yorubaland. I am waiting for those Igbo Big Businesses in Lagos and the SW (not 'pure water' ones o) that are more than Yoruba owned ones, and that give you all the ballz to brag.

http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/pdfuploads/SMEDAN%202013_Selected%20Tables.pdf


Also kindly List the number of Insurance companies players that are Igbo-owned dominating Yorubaland or Nigeria in general.

How many Igbo-owned investments comes close to LADOL in Lagos?

List the Banks that Igbos dominate that are more than the Yoruba-dominated/controlled Skye Bank, First Bank, Sterling Bank, GTBank, FCMB, e.t.c.

List the Telecoms Company that are Igbo-owned/dominated like Yoruba-owned/controlled Globacom and NTel

List the I.T businesses that are Igbo dominated that can stand the likes of Spectranet, CCHub, MainOne

Which Igbo-owned businesses can match the dominance of Yoruba-controlled Oando, ConOil, and Forte Oil?

Chicken Republic, TFC, Tantalizers, Sweet Sensation, Mega Chicken are owned and controlled by Yorubas.

The only Transport segment Igbos dominate is that of buses that convey their kinsmen between YOrubaland and the SE. Yorubas control the SW internal routes, e.g. When I take a bus from Lagos to Abeokuta or Ibadan, 9 out of 10 times the owner of the Bus is a Yorubaman and not an Igboman, so get your facts straight.

In a nutshell, Yorubas already dominate the Big Businesses and industries that count, e.g Finance, Oil & Gas, I.T, Telecoms, Insurance, Manufacturing & Industry, e.t.c. It would be unfair of us to dominate everything so we've left them the crumbs like dominating the Super-Eagles, Gala Hawking , spare-parts bizness, Selling DVD/VCD at Alaba, Entertainment (though Yorubas dominate the Music scene, while we comfortably have our indigeneous Film industry on lockdown as well ), transporting your kinsmen to-and-from the SE to Yorubaland, e.t.c. Your people can keep dominating those. But even Commerce/trading sef una don dey dump that one sef for drug-trafficking.

Well I dont need to rewrite history.
Was there a recession under Ngozi Iweala? NO
Is there currently a recession under Osinbajo, Adeosun, Fashola, Shittu, Fayemi....? YES

What could be the reason? I simply gave an explanation-Socialist Education.

How tribalistic can you people get.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Igbo biz are part of the FDI.
We already control our economy and we are there in collaboration with other people to colonize you too.
Why did you people accumulate so much debt for nothing, you show for it, yet, you don't think you are bad economists.
Igbo states are not that indebted, except Imo that is learning from wacky socialism from the 97%

it is a great feat that a region that started afresh in 1970 is no march to others in terms of local content without outside help.

StOla:
I have already stated in the past that if Azikiwe had succeeded in becoming Premier of the Western Region, the Igbos would have claimed that no Yoruba man was suited to rule and that they brought civilization to the Western Region.

The Igbo man has mastered the art of showing ingratitude and misplaced entitlement for whatever privileges are availed him outside his own domain.
