When it's convenient for you people, you shout and rave that you have Yoruba people and Yoruba community in the whole of SE, but all of a sudden, you don't have people from other parts of Nigeria working and paying taxes in Anambra.

So, you mean only Anambra people work, invest and pay taxes on Anambra state? Or you mean Lagos state is the only state where there are people from other parts of Nigeria.?

You people and your lame, deceptive, and weak argument sef.

TundeBricklayer:

Never in my life have I seen any building that was built by Yoruba man in Anambra State, the rich ones stays in rented Apartments, while low class always occupy uncompleted buildings, just few are paying taxes

TundeBricklayer:

Can you mention one industry in Anambra own by Yoruba man I will mention five own by Anambra guys in Ogun state.

Peacemaker5129:
Ugwu exporter
If you know you know

horsepower101:


Go to their office in Awka to meet her. Also buy a plot there to impress her.

globemoney:

How much is a plot there? where can I see the details?

OMANBALA1:


Roads, bridges ,buildings etc

MyGeneration:

as far as u guys keep mentioning Nigerias breakup, such things will continue being a pipe dream

Ttipsy:
...actually I don't see anything wrong with Mr obiano statement.

overtaking Lagos as an investment destination in Nigeria wouldn't be a bad idea. we all want another Lagos pls.

but I wonder the comparison here on Nairaland.

just like America, California and Washington DC isn't all they got, they have Florida, Texas, Newyork, Illinois, Georgia, etc

why can't Nigeria emulate that?? Lagos, FCT, Rivers, Anambra, Ogun, Delta, Kano all should be developed as Lagos, for greater Economy of Nigeria.

Being giant of Africa isn't just for mouth. we can be like America. no competition but Economic disintegration and viability for all

Putinofrussia:
Ogun state has more than 15 bridges..has more buildings than Anambra. . file:///data/internal_memory/357km%20road,%2015%20flyovers%20completed%20in%20Ogun%20%E2%80%93%20Amosun%20%E2%80%93%20Daily%20Trust/dailytrust-357km%20road,%2015%20flyovers%20completed%20in%20Ogun%20%E2%80%93%20Amosun%20%E2%80%93%20Daily%20Trust.htm

Putinofrussia:


This can be true but if not in Services because of the large population
of Anambra,, which sector does Anambra beat Ogun state sir?

kokomilala:
@mabea,I dont feel threatened,not in the least. If anything, I want other states to develop so that Lagos can be decongested at its heart. The demographic disequilibrium is not doing Lagos any good.Too many souls are swamping the city.
But some south east governors- past and present- have spoken irresponsibly,reductively and invidiously about Lagos.They are always saying Igbos developed Lagos; saying they'll overtake Lagos,bla,bla,bla.
There's too much burden on their shoulders. They should gear their efforts towards developing their regions instead of being in irresponsible competition with Lagos.

immortalityk:

Which stupid services sector
U are talking as if it's only anambra that has high services index
And which small stupid gap did Ogun give anambra in industry sector
Or are u blind
What about kano services index
U just turned blind and be yapping there
What matters is their total figure not some stupid services contributed 65%
Is it anambra alone that contributed in services?
What about rivers Oyo
U didn't mention agriculture because u don't even have mouth there with your fake ugu
What about industry, Ogun of yesterday has beaten your anambra
And never in your life say yorubas don't have industries
Maybe u were blind to doyin group Honeywell group the kuku family the odutola industrial complex
Go to tin can and see Yoruba's industry there
Another industrial city is coming up in sagamu industrial city
All these news are on nairaland
Go and look at all the IPP built in Ogun state and ask who own them

Ritchiee:



In infrastructures,Ogun staten is far above Anambra.
In education,Ogun state has the highest number of higher institutions,way above Anambrra.

In Industry,Ogun state is the most industrialised state in Nigeria..Anambra is very much below Ogun state.

In total development ,Ogun staten is more developed thand Anambra.

These are a few infrastructures in Ogun state:

OMANBALA1:


If I were you I wouldn't brag about something I didn't build, thats one. Secondly, Lagos lacking massively in infrastructures with all the over taxation and billions they rake in everyday...its not a conducive place to live nor raise children. You are ffucking shortsighted but you want to win a argument...smh

Eastlink:
This is a useless comment by Obiano! No state can ever replace Lagos in investment destination. Not now and not in the foreseeable future.
The infrastructural development in Lagos dwarfs every state and the fools arguing their foolishness here should be better informed.

Emyben:


Please, can you tell us the daft comment Obiano made?

That he aspires to work harder and make Anambra overtake Lagos?

Isn't that healthy competition?

Isn't that what he is supposed to do?

Is he suppose to just sit in his office and be comfortable with Anambra's current level?

Is aspiring to be like Lagos or even overtake it a daft idea?

Honestly, you seem to be the daft one here. Sorry to say that. Some of you are just unnecessarily hyped up and threatened.

Obiano has a dream and a plan. Let him execute it.
Stop being angry that he aspires something great for his state.

Cherez:

Im.tired of commenting on NL but you guys are bringing up stuffs that makes no sense.
In academics stats, Ogun cannot compare to Anambra. Check unity schools' & POST UME cut off marks for both states even when Ogun is more populated than Anambra oooo!
Check WASSCE, or academic exploits outside the shores of Nigeria.
See, Ogun has universities who can't buy lands in Lagos with no direct impact on Ogun but for IGR.
On infrastructure, Ogun is better?
Bros name one good state road in Ogun state apart from the Sagamu-Abeokuta way and Abeokuta centrals.
Oga Ogun state is about the worst states in Nigeria when you talk about roads.
Just drive through all the boundaries (Akute, Lambe, Ayobo, Agbara, tube, Ijofin, Ibafo, Ogijo, etc.) of Ogun state and Lagos and you'll understand.
Ogun state is lacking in serious infrastructures.
Imagine the huge IGRs yet with heavy debts and the state is owing civil servants.
Leave Ogun state ooooo!
The governors have not really done well.
Honestly, Lagos is class and this is why every state should emulate Lagos except for the political dominance there.

Ritchiee:


Ogun states has far more infrastructures than Anambra.
Apart from exotic buildings,industries,schools etc in Ogun state,these are still some infrastructures in Ogun state that Anambra does not have.

Most of you just follow political statements without understanding the issue on ground. Stop allowing Obiano rub your emotions. Anambra can only grow at it's own pace but never at the expense of competing with Lagos. I repeat, no Nigerian city can compete with Lagos at our current conomic dispensation. Cities in the western frontier such as Accra, Abidjan and Dakar despite having viable infrastructures on ground can never go toe to toe with Lagos, let alone an Anambra that is in the hinterland and deprived of a modern railway.
The infrastructural deficit others states have compared to Lagos will keep denying them those investments. Ogun state for instance is only enjoying the spillover industries from Lagos because of it's proximity.
Until infrastructures such as railway interconnecting eastern cities to major export point is constructed, the so called massive investment will be only be miminal. I'm not talking about seaport here. Only a technologically advance means of transportation can bring other states to her potential and not the idea of using trucks to conveyed key raw materials in and out, thereby still profiting the same Lagos where these raw materials have their exit and entrance.

Brugo:
[s]Maybe they can finally go home to sell gala and fan yogo instead of deveroping Lagos.

Sanwo-olu should commence the deportation of these “industrious” biafrans who have performed miracles even in far-away Amelika (according to FBI). We don’t deserve you people.

Thank you.[/s]

Eastlink:
Ogun is maximising her proximity from Lagos. The industries in Ogun state found themselves there due to many factors that tribalists like you can never fathom. As well as the dunce from Anambra arguing their foolishness with you.

Emyben:



Your statement goes thus:
'What a useless statement by Obiano'
'No city can... '
'Those foolish ones arguing'

Now, read your first comment and see why I responded in the manner I did.

You immediately made it seem like someone making an effort to catch up with Lagos is Daft. An effort oo.
How can you say that?
Would you rather prefer him to stay in his office, drink coffee and assume that Anambra cannot catch up.

Is his job not to try?
Let's be honest with ourselves. Ethnic Bigotry is the Bane here. And you allowed it to get hold of you as you typed that first comment.
Goodmorning

Suit yourself. The ethnic bigot here is you. Because you are blinded by ethnic patriotism and cannot see the reality on ground.
Until you take that cobweb off your eyes only then would you accept the truth. Anambra can only grow at it's own pace, but competing with Lagos, Mba. Even if 100 Dangote and Innoson relocate to Anambra it will keep playing second fiddle with Lagos unless drastic infrastructural changes is carried out there by the Federal government.

Emyben:


The situation on ground is that a State Governor has an aspiration. He sees Lagos as a model and wants to compete.
Competition is ideal and I love it. You should too.

And I wasn't the one being provocative and calling an administrator Daft. It was you.
You seem to be the bigot here!

Counsel yourself, you need it!
