Jaideyone:
for stating the truth?

IloveMoney:
And you expect a sensible person to believe ibadan and kano has more purchasing power than portharcourt, ontisha and Aba...

Kano that cant even feed its people and has the highest poverty and malnutrition rate in the country and the highest out of school children, highest vvf, highest almajiri, highest child illiteracy. same with Ibadan in the south. with the highest number of beggars and hungry people....empty mall and clubs...Last month i was in ibadan, i visited ebivande club which i was told was the biggest club in ibadan, to my surprised, it was only six people in the whole club, myself, my two friends and some ladies that we met at the club.. i was like fucck..we eventually left early in the morning.... so shameful., yet some ibadan peeps on Nairaland come here to form to make believe...smh

you afonja will not stop deceiving yourselves with your fake data gathering and media..these days it is easily for someone to put up fake data, attach it to a site or blog to make it look credible, post it on Nairaland and gbam it will make front page. then afonja will be dancing up and down in victory.

Pulseng and Naij being one of the leading afonja propaganda news outlet, i dont take them serious.

Omofunaab2:
Lagos and Ibadan made the list.

Yorubas are the most successful, educated, intelligent and richest tribe in Africa and Nigeria

Look here ipig. I was talking about the top twenty. Every available credible data … be it IGR… population… or what have you puts Edo/benin above every SE state. Higher population definitely and automatically translates to a higher purchasing power. That's the truth? Learn to deal with it.

Ezezima2012:

You lack simple understanding.... Lagos and Ibadan made the list because other tribes are there in a very large number

StOla:
What is the population of Kano vs Port Harcourt? If I recall well, Kano state had the highest figure at the last national census, which can easily translate to a higher market also.

What is Aba and Onitsha? What are they purchasing there? And what business does a city like Ibadan have being in the same sentence with those 2 Igbo townships?

Because your boasts are now serially belied by facts daily, it should ordinarily lead to the feeling of denial your currently experience.

Klinee:
I can't argue with you but it is a very big insult to compare Edo market with any Eastern markets, the biggest market in Edo is ringroad and new Benin market, the two market put together is not equal to the smallest market in Onitsha.

Omofunaab2:
I thought you guys said Ibadan is brownroof and igbos don't reside in Ibadan because it is a poor state

sunshineG:
Ibadan omo aje igbin je ikarahun

LoJ:
You guys should stop analyzing every topic through tribalistic and ethnofacist lenses.

There is a difference between how great the Purchasing power of a given market is and how big that consumer market is, although the former influences the later.

Cheers.

ODVanguard:
Dude, the problem with some of you is that you base a lot of your arguments on your supposed economic superiority on wild assumptions that can't be backed by credible data or the reality on the ground. The data I attached in my earlier post came from the telecoms companies (atleast you can't argue that they're biased or compromised on ethnic grounds). It clearly suggests that there are more people in Edo with phonelines, whom are also spending more money to purchase data subscriptions, than any SE state. That's raw data right there. These are some of the data that investors consult before making decisions concerning FDI into Nigeria, in order to ascertain purchasing power.

Obviously, those much-touted 'markets' at Onitsha and Aba aren't amounting to much in terms of economic output coz even Enugu that isn't known for any major markets has consistently posted higher IGR numbers than both Anambra and Abia. So perhaps it's about time you lot quit basing your supposed economic strength on those overhyped markets. Anambra didn't even post any IGR data from last year, yet it expects to be taken seriously?? This isn't about chest-beating but data.

Klinee:
In terms of IGR, most of these IGR in Nigeria States in not
really the money they generate INTERNAL rather they tends to
return their bail out funds(federal allocations) claiming that
they generate the money in INTERNAL. Let be truthful to
ourselves, most times when a governor perform credible well
notice this: the IGR of that particular State will reduce
drastically, with exception of Lagos

dutchnorics:
Have u been to kano before or u just hide under ur keyboard n type nuisance, the kano population u are talking about is it the almajiris,the beggars or the tramadol infested abokis that roams the streets of kano.what's their purchasing power?

Abagworo:
Take it easy and learn to view issues from different dimensions. Aba and Onitsha are distributor markets and not consumer markets and in truth they are the largest markets in Nigeria. This report is not about the largest distributor markets but consumption or end user.

ODVanguard:
Guy… your argument does not hold water. If you had said that perhaps Anambra and Abia had been understating their igr figures fir the past couple of years perhaps then you would have had a case. But to connect high igr to bailout funds? Come on… you can do better than that. Enugu for instance had been the undispited SE state with the highest igr for many consecutive years even before any single bailout was doled out. How do you explain that, compared to relatively underperformin market states like Anambra and Abia? Even Ebonyi posted a higher igr than Anambra about two years or so ago. Your argument no make brain jor.

Klinee:
Guy just accept this, it's a fact no doubt about it.
Most of these States return their bail-out funds claiming to have generated it internally. Just do a thorough research on this, you will confirm what am saying.

LasGidiOwner:
Onitsha represent to the SE what Lagos and PH represent to the SW and SS respectively. Onitsha is not all about commerce, there are industries, blue-collar and white collar jobs. The economy of the city is mixed and diverse. As for the IGR status, though Anambra did not release that of the 2016, but the rough estimate put the state's IGR at over 24B, the highest in the SE.

ODVanguard:
Look chino, i think the problem with Onitsha is that it's just not a big enough market. The likes of Obosi are still having a hard time accepting the tag of being regarded as part of the greater city, hence limiting and denying Onitsha of its place as a large enough market to be contended with. Onitsha as presently constituted is too small, that's the truth.

delivryboy:
You are not Ikwerre, you are Igbo, Ikwerres are proud people who are proud of their identity and will never be allowed to be lumped under the pigs and idiot tribes who lie at will, always seek to shamelessly revise our collective history, greedy, drug peddling, kidnapping, children of baby factories, bullying fools.

LasGidiOwner:
You maybe right about the position of towns like Obosi, Ogidi, Ogbunike, Oba etc, but I must tell you the utmost truth those towns are a part of greater Onitsha metropolis. It is a tag they have to live with by their mere proximity to Onitsha. If all the entire metropolis is put into consideration as it were then I can assure you that Onitsha would just make this list like a walk-in-the-park.

StOla:
We can add Kaduna and Enugu to complete the Nigerian cities list.

I always marvel when I read Igbos remark that Anambra has 3 cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi. So I begin to wonder what is a city and what is a town, and if the 20 local governments in Lagos are therefore 20 cities.

IloveMoney:
yes mentioned after kano and ibadan, just imagine...

i can bet my pen that warri and benin has more purchasing power than kano and ibadan..

Ohaneche:
Hmm. If Igbo had not been a very successful people no body would have taken that tribe serious. I am a blogger and I understand the media game by one ethnic group who despite their stong government backup think Igbos are individually overshadowing their light in the nation.
They have used the media to convince the gullible that Ndi Igbo are drug peddlers, kidnappers, dominant in nature and so on.
When you more successful than your counterparts they do everything to bring you down to their level and that what Ndi Igbo is facing in the hands of Nigeria today.
Igbo has the best skin tones and they breed beautiful offspring,
Igbos has the highest number of successful people,
In fact there are several clear evidences that other ethnic groups when they ponder on them, their heart breads jealousy for Ndi Igbo. I am not commenting based on the post but for some ugly comments.
I am Ikwerre and I love being called Onye Igbo. Wene
