Your leaders know what they possess and refuse to let them go. Even after creating several states to stop them from leaving.

Now common restructuring, they are afraid.

Whether the contributions of the north isn't up to 95%is inconsequential, just tell us what your SE is bring to the table

GreatNegro:
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.
You shouldn't have pasted this as copied. Getting the salient points and listing them just as the OP did would have helped.

Anyway we all know that the Igbo (weed) Biafrauds being in an eroded landlocked terrain are of not much help to the country. But nevertheless they contribute tremendously in terms of "exporting" their know how to Nigeria and beyond in such things as drug and human trafficking, armed robbery, kidnappings among others. The Biafrauds are also reknown for their tremendous zeal of settling (in other parts) in Nigeria even though to them their enclave is a no go area for others.

With the recent declaration by Arewa youths i believe the Biafra warlords will sieze the opportunity to call on all Weeds to come back to the eroded terrain called home from all parts of the country as it is an easy route to achieve Biafra.

Back it up with statistics, don't come here and be shouting that you provide 95% of food.
Re: What Really South East Contribute To The Nigerian Economy by pazienza(m): 11:57am On Jun 10, 2017
Igbos don't contribute any thing, which is exactly why we want the Nigerian NASS to do to us, as Malaysia did to the noisy and troublesome Singaporeans!

Expel the troublesome, parasitic Biafrans from
Your Eldorado of a country called Nigeria, do this constitutionally and let this be permanent and done with maturity like Malaysians did.

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 ECONOMYhuh
Wisdom is always a good guidance. One of the good reasons, according to you, why IPOB wants out of Nigeria is southeast does not contribute anything to Nigeria's growth. It is not nice for a person to reap where he/she did not sow. However, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. If Biafra should be actualized, we shall know who holds the solution to the equation. By the way, why is Nigeria terribly worried about the agitation to secede from Nigeria by the so-called group or section that allegedly contributes nothing to the economy of cesspit called Nigeria?
I have never viewed Nigeria as anything more than a worthless dirt.

What a stupid question

We have oil in Anambra, Abia and Imo

We have coal .

We drive economy in Nigeria by engaging in trading and commercial activities . We provide employments
We are educationally the best .etc

We
do you even have any Idea about the quantity of the so called oil? you only engage in buying and selling and importation. something that anyone can do given the increased demand that will come up when you leave
