Bro, I didn't come here to argue with u.. U and I know that over 90% of share holders in the biggest markets in the south east are easterners. The south east is majorly driven by small to medium scale businesses. Those markets are controlled by the easterners. U will hardly see non Easterner with large market share in those markets in Aba, Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, etc. The east is mostly driven by market economy.

Now, in Ibadan for instance, Queenslima market is dominated by the igbos, Duge market is dominated by the igbos, Aleshilonye market is also shared between igbos and yorubas, etc. These are top markets in Ibadan city. These markets have positive influence on the economy as they house both small scale and medium scale businesses.

Lagos is not to even talked about. Stop the hate. Igbos work extremely hard. I am not saying others don't. But easterners are parasite, right? Northerners are parasites, right? East suffered a major set back via the civil war, and had little help from the central govt after the war. Most of the FG programmes there were abandoned, yet, east is not the poorest in the country. That tells u a lot about them.

Other regions already have advantage over east.

West already have advantage of Lagos which is the biggest economy in Nigeria and among the biggest in Africa. Lagos is the centre of business in Nigeria. It is normal. It is the former capital of the country and has enjoyed massive mono poly for decades. Every country has her own mega economic city, south Africa, it is Jourbug, Egypt, it is Cairo, etc. Lagos is furtunate to have that. It is the first point of city outsider gets when entering Nigeria.

The influence of Lagos is affecting western Nigeria all together. Just that Nigeria is a useless country, all western states would av been far ahead, not in Nigeria standard, but global standard. But these states are still doing badly even with their close proximity to Lagos of all places.. Take away lagos, west will be almost empty.

Now, south south, is the oil hub of nigeria and that is the region that feeds the country. South south has more income flow per states from FG than other regions due to 13% derivation. It is normal for that region to be ahead of other regions. Have u been to PH? How is the market economy there? How many igbos dormimate the popular markets there? Find out too.

Now, north has Abuja close to her. North has always been the baby of the country. The country has many policies that favour north like the educationally disadvantaged states in Nigeria, FG character which benefits states with more local govt and northern states gain more from this. North should av been ahead of east.

East suffered a war for three years, I mean a full blown war and had no special commission to rebuild it as north east is getting now.

If with all these and east is still not the poorest in nigeria, they deserve their noise baba.. If easterners are lazy, oboy, that region for be cast by now . Those boys are dam hustlers.

Fixed, Igbo people will always dominate wherever they go.

The rate at which you ibos rape and abuse the word " dominate ' can be quite amusing and funny at the same time.

I ask you a simple, straight question you went about configuring your personal, oral stats with no basis nor facts? What a delusional fellow you are. Well, I ain't surprise this is how you people go about dominating online only to be confronted with facts, figures but go about configuring yours. Damn annoying. Is buying and selling and doing petty trade you measurement or basis for domination.

Dominiate in what aspect, exactly, with facts? Maybe you meant, in poverty because in the whole of South SE Dominate the table.

Smh.

What's it that Igbo states contribute meaningfully to the Nigerian economy? Can't you see that the states where the bulk of Nigeria's revenue is gotten are in the top 5?

You Igbos are quick to tag others parasites because they do not produce oil. Please how are Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra states different? How much VAT does the FG generate from them?

How do the non oil producing states in SE get their budgets financed, is it not through the same feeding bottle system?

I'm sure you don't know that oil gotten from Imo and Abia states combined is not up to that of Ondo?

I must say here that there is something fundamentally wrong with all developers - INFERIORITY COMPLEX & VAIN PRIDE.

lol..it is because Igbos are mostly illiterates that they do not understand that data.It means your South eastern states combined had no project but eat and clean mouths.Osun state only had more projects than the whole of Igboland.Osun state can be compared to USA with the highest debt in the world and largest projects while all the 5 eastern states can be compared to the Northeast...lol ..they are both in the east..

Harrynight:
If not for Lagos
Ogun state wont b where they are

RebelChip:
Hahahahahaha.

I thought the BMC iddiots said that people in Osun feed better than Anambra people? How come Osun is the least state there? Does it mean Yoruba Land is handicapped? Because many Yoruba States are at the bottom.

God Bless My Anambra and Those who bless her.

I don't even want to talk about Northern states. Those ones are natural occurring disasters. Parasites always leeching on the South to survive. How I wish Kim Jong Un will do the needful and wipe that region out.

My only dissapoint is our Afor Ukwa brothers of the west that took their votes and gave to the terrorist below.

Our Afo Ukwa brothers that should have joined forces with their southern neighbours and taken us to the top.

Ogun state, despite running a recurrent budget deficit, is up on the fiscal sustainability index due to her growth in its internally generated revenue. However, Ogun’s debt profile is equally increasing, which could weigh in on its performance in future.

Obi1kenobi:
This whole new Osun thing is the latest craze on Nairaland, sha. Aregbesola might be one of Nigeria's best performing governor in terms of his infrastructural strides (at least, relative to the revenue of Osun), but it's come at a painful cost and it doesn't look like the potential consequences of his fiscal irresponsibility has fully registered to his cheerleaders. The legacy of the debt he has saddled Osun with will have its time of reckoning. Osun has a small IGR of just over N8billion and one of the smallest FG allocations with just over N31 billion: yet owes over N165billion in debts and owes salaries.

It's all well an good spending N1.3billion on Ilesa Goverment High School. I'm sure the 3,000 students that will enroll there will enjoy the first class facilities (hopefully, they don't run it down to decay, but this is Naija and that is doubtful), but you have to wonder if the tens of thousands of civil servants owed their salaries (or seen it cut in half) wouldn't prefer to be paid and you have to wonder what the incoming governors who would inherit this debt legacy would think about their predecessor.

Osun State recorded a 10% increase in her Internally Generated Revenue, IGR in 2016,

This is what the ignorant ipobs don't understand because of their collective illiteracy, ignorance and blind mentality.

To grow your economy and develop your state and better your people with little or no resources, do you fold your hands and do nothing like the incompetent and lazy governors in their villages are doing? No, you borrow to spend on infrastructures which in turn stimulate your economy.

Yes, temporarily, the effects of the debts will show, but in the long run, the positive effects of your intervention will in turn yield positive results and the NBS data revealed the same positive results.

Osun state's economy grew by massive 10%

With this kind of growth and return on investment (ROI), I see them wiping off their debt in little or no time. The sky is the limit for them.
Basically, you have to spend money to make money.

For now, Osun state commissioned more projects than any other state in Nigeria last year and so far this year too, even more than Lagos state with all their IGR in Lagos state.

Apart from the Metro rail project in Lagos state, Osun state has more ongoing major projects on the ground and they are all world class standard including even what is probably going to be the best airport in NIGERIA.

Obi1kenobi:
Just so you can brag about Anambra, you're willing to belittle and denigrate fellow Igbos from other states and spewing nonsense about "Islamic influence". Some of you are sick, I swear. And I say this as an Anambra man.

Obi1kenobi:
Ahhh.....our favourite rabid cretin is here again with the trademark foaming drool on his mouth. Having a civil, cool-headed argument like normal humans doesn't seem a favourite hobby of yours. If you're going to keep throwing around words like "illiterate" around all the time to mollify your intellectual insecurity, you might not wish to make basic illiterate errors like equating IGR growth with economic growth. Apart from the fact Osun's IGR is hardly impressive, I can absolutely bet anything the Osun's debt has expanded far higher than any IGR growth recorded under Aregbesola. Your optimism doesn't square with any economic reality. To claim that the most insolvent state in the country has to basically bankrupt itself (and its public workers) for what has been at best marginal gains is some incredibly twisted understanding of economics. And I say this even as a novice whose last encounter with the subject was in secondary school.

No offence, but you're no authority on the economic prospects of Osun. Spewing hyper-optimistic crap from your arse doesn't make it reality.

devindevin2000:
When I talk about Afonjas, people attack me and think I'm being tribalistic...no, I'm not. I know these people very well because I grew up in SW and speak fluent yorubaa. These people are worst than Northerners....take it from me and I'm not exaggerating. They hide under one Nigeria, using bogus statistics to deceive you they are doing well. Have you noticed that when government agencies' supported statistics are released, they are always behind? Because these free from their propaganda. But ironically when private agencies release stats, mostly own by yorubas agencies, they rate themselves high, deceiving you they are doing well. I'm not surprised that Ekiti, Osun and Oyo are last, an indication they are worst than northerners. The only reason Lagos is at the top is because it's occupied and built by non yorubaas. And also the only reason Ogun is there is because it's close to Lagos; kind of like how Asaba is close to Onitsha.
