LMAO. Isn't it a shame that Anambra failed to submit it's figures? What are they ashamed of? What are they hiding?

Now look at that table again...

Even if we 'dashed' Anambra N10 billion as IGR, do you know Kano and Kaduna alone is STILL more than your 5 SE states combined?

You guys crack me up grin
You 'dashed' Anambra 10? Lol, Anambra 2016 IGR in 2016 was very impressive, should be at least 16 billion.

Just wondering how 'I cracked you up'... That crap IGR means nothing to poverty state of north, Igbo own a lot of business in the north while the one own by your kinsmen down here is shoe repairing, begging, herdsman and at most night watchmen.
Keep on consoling yourself, North is sooo poor. Everyone including you knows that.

North versus South, which of the two is the classic pathetic case for widespread impoverishment and illiteracy?
Just like I thought, the logic will fly over your head.

I'll simplify it for you.

If Household A with 10 residents is allocated N1,000 for their upkeep

And Household B with 100 residents is given roughly the same amount for upkeep...

Which household do you assume will have the poorer residents?

Now bear in mind that Enugu state's IGR is just 25% (1/4) of it's federal allocation so our states (or households) are all dependent on the federal purse for survival.

I hope you now get the logic of my reference to the role of a greater population, even though I understand that your penchant for throwing derogatory remarks around like a juvenile delinquent was what made you aloof to the point I was making.

The reason predates us all, goes way back in history. The british colonialists created an undue advantage in vesting so much powers to the North, politically and militarily, its a well documented and open secret, but trust me, all that nonsense will change for good anytime soon. Watch it as it loads......
Only failures and the mentally impoverished blame others for their weaknesses.

Do you need glasses?

Anambra submitted ZERO IGR data for 2016, and in 2014 it was a meagre N10b so what are you talking about? Where is the Ugwu leaves export revenue? In Willy's pot belly?

...and you think the "Ibo businesses" in the North are not the otapiapia, okrika and indian hemp sellers? Delusion of grandeur 2.0.

IGR has nothing to do with poverty? Wow your intellectual poverty is overwhelming.

Don't bother responding because I don't have the energy to offer free lessons. Ciao.

Re: Northern Nigeria Is Not Poor, Southerners. by fulanmafia:

And I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that a large chunk of the igr emanates from the SEasterners you mentioned, after the fg refused to develop their region which makes a Kano and KD a more attractive destination for business endeavour. So what I'm I saying in effect. that the generated igr ain't a direct effect of the hard or smart work of the Northerners. I'll stop at this for now....
Lmao world developers at work, developing everyone else's IGR except Iboland.

So you have suddenly agreed that Kano and Kaduna are more developed and commercially attractive than Ala'igbo?

Happy world development o! grin

Very funny. You are rich and have resources and you are saving it and exploring the South's ? That means your resources are limited. That mentality alone is poverty mentality. That is what we mean by being poor.
Can you say that to the Americans? They have the resources but choose to exploit it somewhere else. Are you aware of shale oil tech?

Checked out your blog it's good. Yeah potential is nothing without matching drive to exploit it. Till it is the resources in ground don't mean anything g to its brought to market. With right policy the potential will turn to riches.

I use Bauchi as an example the had wiki warm spreads for ever but it's only now they are thinking off a spa. The only have lots of mining potential but it just now being looked into deeply. Recently the went to China to secure huge PPP.
You are right! But know that Lake Chad is a done deal. 23 wells drilled so far and only 2 without a significant quantity of hydrocarbons.

The basin to which Chad is benefiting from has the same geological formation. There is a town in Chad called Logoni Burni with a reserve of about 100 billion barrel of oil..
Re: Northern Nigeria Is Not Poor, Southerners. by Amberon: 11:42am On Jun 01, 2017
How does that change the fact that the north is not only mentally poor but physically poor as well?

How does political dominance negate the fact that the north is the poorer region in Nigeria?
fulanmafia:
Oh really?

Now tell me how mentally poor and lazy southern Nigeria is to have been dominated politically and militarily for donkey years (till today) by these "mentally poorest" Northerners?

I'm waiting if you have an answer.

Borno and Nort east in general very interesting. Fact is it has less poverty than SW historically. I plan on writing about it as one my deep research pieces. Alot of people don't understand the geology behind it. It would also be interesting economics and social talk. I don't think anyone has discussed NE reconstruction in depth yet.

Pardon if I sounded rather rude with my admonishment.

These ones can't be saved, they're already caked in their bent stereotype of Arewa. All one can do is hold up a mirror to them to see much shitt they're in.

No answer as expected, just regurgitated babble despite the illuminations provided already to your ignorant compatriots..

How does your faulty rhetoric change the FACT that southern Nigeria has been dominated both politically and militarily by these imaginary "mentally poor northerners" for donkey years?

How mentally poor does the south need to be for the North to have been running circles around them all this while?

Solid minerals country-wide have not been exploited for 2 main reasons;

1. Lack of purposeful and visionary leadership.

2. Over-reliance on easy money from oil.

However the North for the first time since military rule has been blessed with visionaries as leaders in the likes of Governors Bagudo (of LaKe Rice fame), El-rufai, Tambuwal, Ganduje et al. that are determined to develop and exploit the region's agricultural and solid minerals potential, and the results are already trickling in (significantly improved IGR and sterling initiatives), coupled with another visionary at the helm of the solid minerals Ministry (Fayemi) who has rolled out a solid minerals development masterplan.

Ceteris Paribus, an era of great prosperity beckons.
Tell the governors to act quickly so that northern Nigeria can finally go it's way and southern Nigeria too will go it's way. Thanks.

First of all, Nigeria is generally a poor country. However, when comparing poverty within Nigeria, the North is very much poorer than the south.

No northern zone is richer (on a per capita basis) than any southern zone.

I stand to be disputed.
Re: Northern Nigeria Is Not Poor, Southerners. by Amberon11: 9:58am On Jun 02, 2017
Niger Delta that feeds the nation? What do you people contribute to the nation's treasury apart from illiteracy, boko haram, poverty, beggars, almajiri, Fulani herdsmen, pedophiles, rapists, gworo chewing stick etc?

Do you know that rivers state has the highest GDP per capita income in Nigeria and that Delta state has the 3rd highest also? If not for ND y'all would die of povert .

Keep talking to yourself, I won't engage your further, terrorist.[s]

For obvious reasons, and it doesn't also change the fact that the entire country, particularly the SS is neck deep in poverty as well.

Until we stop looking at this as an ethnic issue we can use to throw shades at each other, minimal progress is expected.
