Ddaji:
who oil block help? Let the Niger deltan collect their oil block from greedy and useless elites.Northern you are talking forget about the so-called they are not useful to us.From the analysis of the op SE are contributing nothing to Nigerian economy. Whether the contributions of the north isn't up to 95%is inconsequential, just tell us what your SE is bring to the table

You can only tell the true value of any region when they become autonomous.

OP if you care then support Biafra to happen... Not like your support is needed o...
Why keep them when they profit nothing?
They said they don't want your sympathy.... Na by force?

Are you asking for war or peaceful secession?

Agumbankembu:

fulanis started terrorising our states during GEJ tenure

OP the fact that you compare the SE comprising of just 5 states with the entire Nothern region with 19 states has already answered your question

However, Op ask your leaders that are begging Igbo's to remain in Nigeria cause stating it here will crash Nairaland...

Or do you want to run Seun out of business or you want Afonjas to call us chest beaters this early morning

Even your youth didn't think their joke of a threat will be taken seriously now the north is divided only important people can do that.

Here is a brief review of the resources of the South East region: Abia state This is the commercial hub of fabrics in Igbo land. The state is gifted with human and natural resources meet for fabrics such as clothes, shoes and other wears. The ingenuity of the Abia people lies in their somewhat mystical talent to construct and reconstruct whatever design of wears and fabrics ordered on them. Created in 1991, from the old Eastern, partly from Imo which it bears boundary with, Abia was included to the other 8 Niger Delta states as an oil producing state in Nigeria. Although its capital is Umuahia, its commercial hub is Aba, an ancient city busied with heavy economic activities which had harboured the British outpost. Abia is blessed with numerous resources which if explored will no doubt set the state as one of the very best in the world. Here are the natural/mineral resources in Abia state: Laterite, Tar, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Lead, Zinc, Flora like Iroko, Mahogany, Obeche, Bamboo, Rubber Tree and Oil Palm, Gypsum, Limestone, Iron Or. Exceptions to these resources aforementioned are the yet to be discovered ones believed so to say, to be domiciled in the state. Anambra State Anambra a name concocted by the British who for their intellectual deficiency of phonological ological interference, were incapable of pronouncing the real name “Oma Mbala,” a name the native people got from their river, Mbala, yet startles the mind of the immeasurable capacity of its people to drive success and development and their distinct ability in dispensing their skills to irk out a living even virtually out of nothing. As ancient as it is, it is one of the newest states created in 1991 with its capital at Awka and commercial hubs as Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, Ihiala and some other viable ones. Commonly called by its slogan “home for all,” Anambra borders Enugu to the East, Imo and Rivers state to the North and Delta to the West. The state is blessed with the following resources: Bauxite, Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Rubber; not forgetting that it has 30 Trillion cubic feet of Gas, deposit of coal. Ebonyi State Just like Anambra and Abia states, the people of Ebonyi are primarily business. Carved from Abia and Enugu state by Abacha in 1996, Ebonyi stands as one of the best agriculturally progressive states in Nigerian. They started off from, though rapidly growing beyond it, subsistent farming. First of its natural resources is land. The land in Ebonyi state including its capital, Abakiliki is a major wealth creator in the state as many of its indigenes engage in Agriculture as their major source of living and creating wealth. Amongst the numerous quite indispensable products produced in the state are rice, yam, potatoes, maize, beans, and cassava in Nigeria. Rice and yams are predominantly cultivated in Edda, a region within the state. The resources of the state include: Lead, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas, but Few Large-scale commercial mines and huge limestone deposit in Nkalagu The state government has, however, given several incentives to investors in the agro-allied sector to encourage production. Ebonyi is called "the salt of the nation" for its huge salt deposit at the Okposi and Uburu Salt Lakes. Others include Sale, Zinc, Lead, Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Gold and other Solid Minerals. Enugu State The coal city (state) and its people share some similarity in business mindedness. Enugu was the capital of the old Anambra state and was split with Anambra in 1991, still retains its capital as Enugu. Commercially viable cities in Enugu state are Enugu town, Agbani, Awgu, Udi, Oji-River, and Nsukka, the home of University of Nigeria, Nsukka which is the first ever indigenous University in Nigeria. Enugu is well endowed with Coal which is where it derives its slogan “Coal City state” from. Other resources include: Zinc, Lead, Oil. Imo State Though it is usually regarded as more educationally minded with its people more seemingly more engaged in academics than business in comparison with other parts of Igbo land especially Anambra and Ebonyi, Imo state is yet blessed with natural resources aside the intellectual resources with Owerri as its capital and commercial hub, borders with Abia State on the East, by the River Niger and Delta State on the west, by Anambra State to the north and Rivers State to the south. Towns that engage the state as a viable economic hub and house its resources aside Owerri include the oil rich Oguta, the business friendly Orlu, Isu, Okigwe, Akokwa, Mbaise, Mbaitoli, Mbieri, Orodo, Nkwerre, Ubulu, Ngor Okpala, Omuma, Mgbidi, Awo-Omamma and Orsu, Ozara etc. Imo is Naturally endowed with natural resources ranging from crude oil, natural gas, lead, zinc, Flora like the iroko, mahogany, obeche, bamboo, rubber tree and oil palm predominate. Though the state battles deforestation as a result of its increasing population with limited land mass, a problem virtually all the Igbo states suffer, it is still a force in the vegetation business second to Ebonyi state.

Bari22:
1. North produce 95% of the food in nigeria(rice, beans, maize, millet, sorghum etc)

2. North produce 98% of vegetables in nigeria (tomato, pepper, onion, cucumber, water melon etc).

3. North produce 90% of the meat in nigeria.

4. North produce 80% of cement im nigeria

5. North produce groundnut and groundnut oil

6. shiroro dam, kainji, mambila, Zungeru and many others produce significant amount of power to national grid. they are all located in the north

7. North produce 80% of the man power in the country, because an average northerner can work as a labourer, guard etc to survive. Northerners are never lazies.

8. North produce 99% of cotton, hide & skin, etc used by our industries

9. 98% of inland import is from northern nigeria.

10. Northern nigeria produce 70% of locally manufactured steel, roofing sheet and other building materials

Northerners are never parasites, southwesterners also play important role in developing nigerian economy.
Niger deltans have oil. The question is that 'what igbos actually contribute to the nigerian economy? Who is the real parasite?

If nigeria divided only God knows those that will survive

As long as we arewans have food to eat we don't have any problem.

If igbos think they have investment every where, please let them take their investment to their biafra, let us see who will buy their goods.

Beside that, they don't produce anything, they only know how to import goods, so as every tribe know how to import

Igbos, you rather be serious or else you will regret any action you hurriedly take for now

Biafra is land locked without grabbing land from niger deltans, and niger deltans are now denying them.

Igbos are the first tribe to spill blood in nigeria in the name of coup and they are now cryin victim

Igbos are politically irrelevant because sardauna has cursed them, and they will never be politically in the present nigeria

we are tired of you please let us go our own separate ways

My question is that WHAT IS THE CONTRIBUTION OF SOUTH EAST TO NIGERIAN ECONOMY

It is a poser for my south eastern people, what exactly do you guys bring to the table.

Bari22:
THEY SPEND 2 YEARS DISTURBING US, WITH THEIR BIAFRA DREAM ONLY NOW THAT FEW UNKNOWN YOUTHS MAKE A DECLARATION AND THEY ARE ALL AFRAID, SHOUTING EVERYWHERE, BEGGING ALMAJIRI KINGS SO THAT THEY STAY IN THE AREWA.

Kyase:

You may be right but their is war going on already. It may not be a civil war but a country without peace is already at war.

Olodo Op my grandmother does not know 90% of the food and cash crops you listed up there

And she lived way above 90s before she passed on at 106 when she lived Igbo's didn't buy food from the north we farmed what we eat

Even till this day most Igbo's in the village farm what they eat and don't use 90% of what you listed there, we farm them in our backyard.

Our staple farm products are yam, cassava, rice, potatoes, cocoa yam, palm kernels, plantain, bananas, mangoes, oranges, pineapples, Udala, pears, avacado pears, cherry, vegetables include, bitter leaf, ugwu, waterleaf, live stock, pigs, goats, sheep, turkeys, chickens, just to mention a few and these consist 90% of our foods

while we might not have them for export we have more than enough to eat and live above 90years, so northerner should stop the whole 90% food lies

Mind you all the item I listed are in our family compound and farm in my village in Anambra we don't buy any of these things outside except we want to do a party, celebration or something that calls for gathering. I hope you know every Igbo mans house in the village is surrounded by his farm and all of this is most likely grown there too. I didn't mention other products that we don't grow that are on other people's farm.

So grow sense.... meanwhile your leaders are still begging us to stay in one Nigeria and you are here making mouth, it's your kind that will keep the fire of Biafra burning strong.

So no one can tell us in clear terms what the se's contribution actually is?

The opposite says he's a northerner and posed a good question and all these guys can come up with is "afonja, afonja". This is unbelievable.

vengertime:
Afonja, when the time come you go know how we are helping you Zombies

Lolz.......


Afonjas giving Igbo(s) serious headache since 1960.A northerner is speaking he is shouting Afonja.

that's what I have been telling those guys that are celebrating because Niger Delta wants it's oil blocs. they think we are like them who kill petty thieves but worship their thieving leaders. they think we would care if oil blocs leave the hand of our politicians. how does it affect the common man on the streets?
