Stkilda:


Believe whatever you like and hate them all you want and for whatever reason. The bottom line is that the Igbo want to exit Nigeria like they wanted 50 years ago, only this time they will do it properly in line with accepted world standards. This time they will not lose even a pin.

if you like continue to pretend that you are the master of someone whose shoes you polish and in whose house you live and pay rent.

rigarmortis:


when the north produce the rice, do they gather everybody in a straight line and distribute it for free, or do they sell it for their own good?

when imo and abia produce their oil, do they give it to the Indigenes of the area to make money on their own, or is the money forwarded straight to abuja.

each question is 100 marks each.

oyoofong:
We buy!mfana ebak!

nextprince:

You mean Abia and Imo produced oil? As in they cultivated it? That there are traces of oil deposit (less than 1.7%) doesn't mean they cultivated it.

What I know Anambra works for in the area of production is ugwu, what you should have asked is that did they forward the proceeds of this ugwu to federation acc?

Iporks are senseless.

Catalyst4real:
And when they come to bash the North. All they can Summon is the almajiris and the @bokis to perpetuate contemptuous insults. But see it there, North is the highest rice producing region.

Tribalism and regionalism is killing this country. No respect

.... Ofada rice from Ogun state is VERY delicious.

Funny. Ofada is legendary. It is the most luxurious, locally grown rice in Nigeria.

Ebonyi is just about the only state in the South East that takes farming to heart. The state is just about the only one in the East that TRULY produces rice in commercial quantity.

Obiano, Anambra and the media have all lied in the past and won't stop doing so. Propaganda and lies would lead you a little but the stark realities would hit in the end.

We should respect the North, really, as they are clearly responsible for feeding the country. As bad as we think they are, they play the most important, though silent, role in our nation building. This is the beauty in our diversity.

1. Stats were compiled by a Yoruba man named Abiodun Sule, and we know what Afonjas stand for.

2. This is an old stat, compiled in 2015, taking cognizance of productions from from 2009-2014.

fkj950ax:
Seriously Op!

Can you put a chart showing Contribution of States to Bank Deposits and probably a 2nd showing Palm Kernel production.

Every State and Region have whats call COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.

totit:



And so fucking what? Ofcourse, whatever that doesn't go down well with ibos is always fake. The information were compiled and measured base on each state of the federation or by region production.

O, it's 2009-2014, well none has denied that, so why not provide the latest one

Lmao

Kebbi state has 3 million people compared to SE of 16 million. Kebbi State is bigger in size than the entire SE
It stands to reason that there is more land for rice production in Kebbi than in the SE


Please talk like a person who went to school. SE is not populated? So who lives there snails? Bulk of its people reside elsewhere of what relevance is that to the issue of population density?
We are talking of the rice production by zone and then I mentioned population density. How is it relevant where that its people are not resident?
The SE has a reported (2006) population of 16 milllion in a space smaller than Benue Kwara State or Kebbi State or Niger states etc .

In fact if the SE states were just one state a little bigger than Oyo State, in terms of size it would be number 13 or 14 and this makes it the most densely populated spacein Nigeria so it is not particularly able to support farming and maybe that explains why iits people are so dispersed because there IS NO LAND AT HOME

What was lost in the SS is more than compensated on the basis of being the home to the major source of nation's income and infact mostly due to oil spillage.

But what I don't understand is what exactly is the SE contributing in this obodo?

What exactly does the word "parasitism" mean?

sirfemoz:
I wonder why a good thread like this has now been converted to bashing thread. If you guys so much hate South East, kindly allow them go and have their Biafra. Let's see if hunger will kill them or whether they will beg for food. Why so much hate, yet we all clamour for one Nigeria.

pazienza:


This is an independent statistics on Nigerian states and what they produce.
https://www.nairaland.com/2522113/omitted-truth-debunking-lies...nigeria-states

Yorubas are pathetic bunch who are obsessed with Ndiigbo, from top to bottom.

Keep producing useless stats and keep rejoicing.

The Igbo man knows better, and that's why he would always insist on Biafra.
No amount of reverse psychology will work.

tiwasiaife:







The last time I checked Abia is an oil producing state
IMO is an oil producing state.
Enugu was once the economic hub of Nigeria
Half of Delta is Igbo speaking while part of Rivers is igbo.what is ur problem oga?

brainpulse:
. See the southeast/IPODS, they are almost useless at nothing. Very lazy, what they only know is fake things, drug traffic, 419, money rituals & chest beating. The northerners are still hardworking to me producing the country meat, beans, pepper etc.

AbakalikiPress:
Are you telling us that Abakaliki rice is a Scam?
My Goodness, South East is just mediocre at everything, I don't take them serious anymore.

Whenever a South Eastern "Yoot" tells you that he produces 1 million tons of something, better be rest assured that it is not more 100 Kilograms.

Oblang:


Nobody hate SE. We just hate the way they boast and taunt others...

Afam4eva:

Is this really a joke or what? if anybody needs praising it's the Niger Delta that provided over 90% of the nation's income and not the north that produces agricultural product that adds little or nothing to our income. We buy these food items that the north produces, t's not like they give it to us for free.

even the devil will shout foul at the hypocrisy of some of you Yoruba folks.
you are are quick to remind us, that only oyo state would swallow the southeast (someone claimed oyo us x10 the SE yesterday) , you guys would have an onlooker believe that the south east is erosion and flood ravaged.
the south west has a estimated total landmass of 75000 and produced 16%,the south east was approximately 29000 and produced 9%-pls, intellectuals in the house should do the sum and tell us which region was more effective and efficient.
according to the 2006 census, the SS and the SW (by a wide margin) is bigger than the SE east.
when you peeps analyze this data(like the highly educated people, you guys are quick to remind us that your tribe is) you westerners would realise that una do well bad

Sanchez01:

No it isn't a joke. To you oil plays a more pivotal role to our nation building just because it oozes from the ground 'for free'?

A friend who works with the Associated Press sent me a rare footage of the civil war just yesterday. A 16 minutes video which I'm planning to share tomorrow and I realised that the Igbos were beaten to submission because FOOD supply was cut off. Interestingly, people had their monies with them but couldn't buy a thing because food wasn't in circulation.

Long before the discovery of oil in Nigeria, the country relied on the SW's cocoa, the Mid-West's rubber and palm oil, just as the Old Eastern region, and most importantly, the agricultural produce from the North. The Late Nnamdi Azikiwe wooed them to no end and insisted the country needs the North desperately. Was he wrong? Hell no!

My people took great pride in farming before the discovery of oil in Delta. We lost so many lands because oils would flow out from the soil when tilled. My own family lost a whole lot of oil palm lands to crude flow.

The truth is Nigeria fared during the golden agricultural days, and that Nigeria is what it is today is because of oil. Not a single oil producing country in the world today operate a mono economy because everyone understands that agriculture is the major way out.

So what if the FG return the golden goose eggs but food is unavailable? Would we drink the oil? Indeed, yes, the oil somehow serves the country, but does it really serve you and I? Oil is not a necessity, not in the least of ways.

nextprince:

You mean Abia and Imo produced oil? As in they cultivated it? That there are traces of oil deposit (less than 1.7%) doesn't mean they cultivated it.

What I know Anambra works for in the area of production is ugwu, what you should have asked is that did they forward the proceeds of this ugwu to federation acc?
