Drop your IGR stats for all other SW states OUTSIDE of Lagos right now and let's do the comparison, I don't have time for some useless Afonja ape wading through the murky arguments of baseless filth devoid of facts. Apart from Lagos, MO SINGLE SW state comes anywhere close to the SE in sustainability index, human capital indices, preponderance of indigenously owned private businesses, manufacturing companies, urban areas and new estate layout developments etc... I'm ready to lay out the ace card of all my facts now and end your noise once ans for all. I'll start with ordinary Ebonyi state, present your state and let's go from there.

Lol, this one really wants to dig his own grave.

Nowenuse:
Alhikmah & Crescent are Muslim varsities, so only Yoruba, Hausa fulanis & middlebelt Muslims like Igala & Ebira muslims can drag that one with you people.

But for the Christian universities, it is impossible!

I was the one who took my younger brother to Omu-aran last year when he was resuming Landmark universitiy.

There is only one park from Warri that goes to Kwara state. Come and see the numbers of people from Warri going to Landmark.
Almost everyone in the vehicle I entered from Warri were also taking their children to Landmark! Igbos & Nigerdeltans.

If only Warri can be like this, how much more Benin, Asaba, Onitsha, Jos, Kaduna, Abuja, Ughelli, Calabar, Portharcourt e.t.c?

When I reached Landmark universitiy, I couldn't believe the number of people speaking Hausa I met with there.
Plateau people, Southern Kaduna people, Adamawa, Southern Borno people (northern christians) were all bringing their wards to Landmark. And mind u, Landmark is a new university compared to Covenant.

My friend who also went to Babcock told me the same thing.
Babcock is a seventh day Adventist school. How may Yorubas are members of Seventh day Adventist Church compared to Igbos & Northern christians?

Let's not even talk about Redeemed. Mountain top can be slightly predominantly Yoruba cos mountain of fire church is not so popular in the Middlebelt & Igbo land. Only in the SS is it very popular.

Yorubas cannot outnumber Non-Yorubas in a Pentecostal Christian university, unless that Pentecostal church is not popular in the SE/SS/Middlebelt.

Yoruba actually outnumber them simply because the school are in the southwest.

Alhikmah university is totally dominated by Yoruba Mulsim. Yoruba dominate this school like 90% of the students are Yoruba Muslim.

Christians universities in the southwest are also dominated by Yoruba, simply because these schools are in the southwest and that Yoruba value education more than the most ethnic group in Nigeria.

Lagos is an international city and you guys know it, if the igbos leave, it will only make more room for the indians, chinese, lebanese and other asians who are even more business savvy than the igbos and will only make Lagos look more international. The igbos are the ones who need Lagos more than Lagos need them.

Sound it man!!! Lagos has never needed them. Before they knew what Lagos is, the city has been existing, they actually came to meet Lagos, she didn't go and meet them. If Nigeria ceases to exist, Lagos won't rise and go meet them.

Barbilius:
@bolded,are ibos the only one who knows how to settle in a place? Even foreigners like Indians, Lebanese etc have settled in Lagos since God knows when and they never even claim to be the reason for the growth of the city yet people who started coming in their numbers in the 1970s will want to push a theory of then being the reason for Lagos growth. Like @omonnakoda use to say, geography is the only factor which has made Lagos, and the thin about geography is that people may change but it never changes. The geographical location that makes it alluring to the Brits is what will attract people's from different places to it in the event of division of Nigeria.

All the Lebanese & Indians in Lagos put together, are they up to 100k?

And do you think u will feel comfortable if 35% of the people in Lagos are Indians & Lebanese?
People who despise and look down on blacks?

Go to Nairobi, Dar es Salam and these east African cities where Indians were settled by the colonial masters and see the high level of discrimination and segregation blacks endure in their own motherland.
Can you intermarry and integrate with these Indians & Lebanese like the way you people do with Igbos?
You think say na clear eye make Idi Amin pursue Indians commot for Uganda ba?

Grayoso:
I dont get them. Simply pathetic how they are so sentimental and can never views things objectively and in line with the reality on the ground simply because they can't bring themselves to give the Yorubas credit where due.

They will make so much noise about the SE yet this is the same region no Igbo who has had prolonged exposure to the SW, especially the women, wants to return to. Some Igbos really believe that adage that a lie told a thousand times begin to resemble the truth.

This is why they beat their hollow chest, every little chance, about their SE States yet the reality is that most SW-based Igbos are always wary of visiting their indigenous SE States and, even when they must, remain very apprehensive of while there. Igbos and self-delusion are 5 and 6.

Seriously, Igbos to me are so much obsessed with leaving their homelands. I myself don't understand why.

If not for the high immigration of Idomas & Igalas into Abuja that have countered Igbo immigration, Abuja would have been dominantly Igbo by now.

Well, I think it could be cos their land is very small, hence creating strong scarcity of land and expensiveness. Thereby a higher cost of living and stronger competition.
Igbos also have a strong Culture of competition. This could also be the reason many of them flee their homelands.

Go to Kaduna city south and see the way Igbos are buying lands there.

The number of Lebanese and Indians is not the issue but their value


How many of them are selling Gala?

Dangote is more useful than 100000 Gala sellers

Yoruba muslims will of course dominate Alhikmah overwhelmingly cos Northern muslims no dey like school.
Also, Hausa fulanis despise and look down on Yoruba muslims. The typical Hausa fulani elites will never send their wards to a Yoruba muslim school. Otherwise, American University of Yola & Baze Universities are both Hausa fulani owned private schools and they have the numbers there.
Yoruba muslims do not have a good relationship with Northern muslims. This is unlike we SS/SE/MB Christians who have a better relationship with Yoruba christians and we love education.

There is no basis of comparison abeg.

LegendHero:
Do you know Ogun IGR is more than that of any SE states? Infact at some point Ogun IGR was equal/more than all that of the SE states collectively.

What the bleep do you mean by indigenous industry? So if a foreign industry is in a locality, it doesn’t count as part of the state GDP? Is it the SW fault that your region don’t attract foreign FDI?

Even USA will not rely on indigenous companies alone for their economy. We have virtually all big foreign corporations around the world domiciled in USA.

Ogun state has the highest number of industries anywhere in this country and we are not talking about mushroom industries here.

What the bleep is urban layout? Ibadan urban layout is better than anyone in the whole south East. If you want to understand how to see a city structure, use goggle earth image.

Just go on google earth now and check the best part of Ibadan and that of let’s say Onitsha or Akwa from space and see what urban layout and planning looks like. If you need us to open a separate thread for that, I am game. I am working now but I can engage on the thread on and off.

The socio-economic data favors the SW better than the SE as reflected from UNDP comprehensive report and Lagos is not even part of it. We are removing Lagos and still SW beats any zone in Nigeria in terms of socio-economic metrics.

What do you mean by number of indigenous business? What data give credence to the fact that the SE got more than the SW? Can you please provide a source?

My brother, I tire for these osu swines o. Anambra is their biggest state with their so called industries. Ondo igr surpasses that of anambra by far. Anambra igr has never pass that of ondo, and he want to jump to ogun.

what the less than 100k indians, lebanese and co control in Lagos is 100 times more that what the entire igbos have in Lagos, Industry is what is making Lagos not ordinary trade and commerce

Igbos lack sophistication, worldview and exposure. This is why, of all ethnic groups, Igbos host the highest number of "money miss road" in Nigeria i.e wealthy people with no class, style or finesse to match their wealth.

This is primarily because Igbos, unlike others, are materialistic and very shallow. Acquiring money at all cost, even at the expense of personal development, is paramount above all for Igbos. This is why it is common to see many unsophisticated, unrefined and 'Bush' rich Igbos.

This also is why Igbos cannot understand that having businesses in Lagos that generate wealth does not mean others cannot easily replace that with even bigger and better models.

In the 70ties, 80ties and even 90ties the cornershop were a staple of British grocery shopping to the extent even the Pakistanis would be forgiven if they claimed British small grocery shopping sector would collapse if they close shop.

Instead, in the 2000s and beyond, big supermarket started buying smaller shops to create condensed versions of their big stores on high streets and in the traditional corners the Asian shops used to dominate.

These are called Tesco Express and Sainsbury Local etal. This model has now run many Asian grocers out of business. That is precisely what will happen in Lagos if Igbos leave because the world stands still for no one and a vacuum is often an opportunity to replace what is gone with bigger and better.

Blah blah blah blah are you done sweating and hitting your key strokes in pain and utter lamentation . Those Osu slaves own you now, they are fast swooping in and buying your fathers land, very soon your family's "abule" AKA pig house will be taken over by an Osu, demolished and returned bare as new land for "Shukwudi's" new spare parts business . If you like keep sucking on Dokubo's phallus for some nonsense he said, still won't change any fact. May I remind you that a MACBAN chairman, I mean a Fulani herdsmen called you yaribanzas "uncivilized" on national television some months back, what happened to your Amotekun noise after your Aboki masters scared the shege comot for una body, they dared you to form Amotekun and you cowards back-tracked like the true SLAVES and cowards that you are. Back in the last election in Lagos, a whole leader of an OPC group was nearly lynched to death by Igbos for trying to disenfranchise voters in Okota, we own you, we are taking over your real estates, we Dare you to do anyhow and we will show you who the real SLAVES are in Lagos, Ibadan, Ogun etc.

If Abuja was the one with the high population like Lagos, do u think most investors will invest in Lagos over Abuja?

LegendHero:
See this ones using UME and WAEC statistics as a metrics of educational advancement in a country called Nigeria.

WAEC that almost 50% of the people that wrote it did exam malpractices since 1999. If we take a statistics now and people were to answer truthfully, you will see that majority over 50% of people did one form of malpractice during their exam period.

WAEC that special centers is the main thing is what you are using for metrics? WAEC that is so useless that even public schools are doing malpractices let alone private schools.

Jamb was like that too until they started the CBT exams which saw some drastic reduction in malpractices. Yet people are still cheating the CBT which explained the list that was on Nairaland last few week about Jamb malpractices with SE topping the list.

Anytime I see anybody talking about WAEC and JAMB statistics as a measure of educational might, I just assume the person is intellectually deficient!

You are dissecting these Osus one by one. Chai

What you are saying makes sense, but it is only applicable when these settlers do not have a large population of that area.

Do u know the percentage of Igbo middle-class citizens living in Lagos? I don't even think Yorubas will outnumber Igbos per middle-class citizens in Lagos.

Can Asians match English middle-class in London? Your analogy is not good enough.

Imagine if half of the Middleclass citizens in London relocate.... Will it not shake London to the core?

Schools & Businesses are mostly in the SW because of Lagos, nothing else.

No! Because large number of South Westerners were exposed to education, trade, Morden architecture, media early before any group in Nigeria. Don't forget the Ibadan was far developed and prosperous than city in Nigeria and sub Africa when it was the capital of western region. Fact.

Ibadan and Ogun state will begin to level up seriously with Lagos when the Lagos-Ibadan railway line begins operation. Industrialization is what is driving Lagos and Ogun states and not just population and when that railway is open, it will rub off on Oyo state big time even presently there are lots of industries springing up in Ibadan and environs.

And the investment of those foreigners are far more significant than those of the noisemakers. Think about companies like airtel, chagourys, Eko hotels, infonaija fm, wazobia, etc. And as per that marriage issue, it's one of the biggest lies being repeated over time which is fast becoming truth,just because a few inter tribal marriages happen in Lagos, ibos be shouting over the whole place that Yorubas are obssessed with their girls. I can categorically tell you, marriages in Yorubaland is still 99% a yoruba man and Yoruba woman affairs. Even in the same Lagos, people just tend to amplify inter tribal marriages. People like us are here to push back that silly narrative.

It seems you don't get the gist . Should we type in your native language ??

Lagos is what it is simply because of its geography . Lagos has always been an economic powerhouse before Southern Nigeria not to even mention the amalgamation of 1914.

The port of Lagos was built by the colonialists before Nigeria.
Lagos is naturally blessed and nothing any loser from anywhere might type would change this .

When my forebears like Awolowo was building the first industrial estate in Lagos state , what were y'all doing ??

Instead of you sticking your minority nose into what doesn't concern you , worry about what would be the lot of you and your minority people in the land locked people's republic of Arewa

Yams?

Even my village in ibadan produce large volumes of yam.

Most yam brought from the north in Yoruba land are those sold by Hausas themselves in Lagos and Ogun state communities near lagos.

The only things we get from the north in large quantities are beef and onions

The writer deliberately omitted the south west and specifically mentioned the south east for a reason don't you think.

The only thing u get from the North is Beef & Onions? Well, I hope u meant only CORE-NORTH?

Middlebelt & Core north jointly provides u with Sweet Potatoes, Groundnuts & Tomatoes. Or do u produce Tomatoes in Oyo state?

Middlebelt exclusively provides u with Corn & Irish potatoes. And Guinea corn for Akamu.

Then all the other vegetables like Carrots, Cucumbers, Water melons, Lettuces, Cabages, Grean peas, Green pepper, Ginger, do u people farm these things? How about Oranges that are 90% from Benue?

Besides for u to think that most of the Yams consumed by Yorubas is farmed in the SW shows how delusional you are.

Plantains & Bananas are the only foodcrop you Yorubas dominate in Nigeria.

Yorubas cannot outnumber Non-Yorubas in a Pentecostal Christian university, unless that Pentecostal church is not popular in the SE/SS/Middlebelt.

You are spewing nonsense . So you sampled the people you met in the school to know their ethnicity ??

You are just a religious bigot who deserves everything you and your people are getting in the hands of the Hausa Fulani .

Since when did one's denomination become a factor to consider before attending a Christian private university in Nigeria ??

Are you saying only Redeem people attend Redeemers ?? Are you saying only 7th day people attend Babcock ?? I hate slow people !!!

If indeed the yardstick for attending those schools is your membership in the church like you opined , then Babcock should have been sited in the SE/SS or North central since many people from those areas attend seventh day church . Can you see your pseudologic now

The only thing we largely get from the north is pepper, onions, while cabbages, lettuces, are not really that common among every folks, only the few elites eats cabbages and luttuces.

most folks are just ignorant, so true that a lot of farming goes on along that oyo-ogbomoso-Ilorin corridor which I have seen. Truth is the SW states outside Lagos have been grossly under reported and underrated. No thanks too to the ignoramus on nairaland who come here to spew lies.

People come to Lagos DAILY fro faraway Ghana to buy goods

China manufactures for the world

Lagos manufacturers don't have to wait for Ibohomosexuals to buy their goods except maybe Gala and FanYogo
