True economic activities are reduced because of the main family's absence but there is enough jobs to go around for technicians servicing families that are there year round. And more and more business men are leaving their families in the East to go other places to do business. Things are changing now.

princdebola201:
there re millions of redudant houses in south east thats why there is little economic activities going on there.
Instead of building redudant houses why not move investment there that will imcrease economic activities

horsepower102:


You keep parroting this false statement. At this point I will just leave you to your beliefs. How can the houses be redundant when they are fully occupied? In fact more houses need to be built. There is shortage of housing everywhere in the East and in Nigeria overall.

cjrane:
Believe Nigerian statistics at your peril!

I don't understand the younger yoruba generation. Nigeria cannot count even the number of people in Nigeria nor even count the number of votes in a ward election. Yet, you think it's the complex algorithm and calculation of poverty index that they can do?

Keep deluding yourself

princdebola201:
the fact remains south east region is just a residential zone until there is increase in economic activities in the state. Thank you

This one is trying to play cheap divide and conquer tactics.
Soon he will log him with his multiple monikers claiming to represent all SE states and attack each other to create the impression of Igbos from different states fighting each other.

Have you ever wondered how the renters are able to afford their rents if no economic activities gong on?

Do you think people living in these houses are living for free/?

Do you think more houses will be built for residence if there was no profit to be made?

Honestly, you are not making sense.

princdebola201:
majority of houses re in south east re private apartment
How many residential estates do u have in whole of south east?

Op, Keep deluding yourself

My guy I will give you the same advice that I will give to Yemi the head of NBS, visit the south east. I am done talking about this.

Honestly, NBS just showed how far they are willing to go just to prove a point. Nothing in that statistics add up to reality.

The only problem is that when foreign investors are looking at where to invest and get a good return, they will just ignore the south east and go to the west and south south.

I know their game plan.

cjrane:


Bros, Forget about meaningful foreign investment coming to Nigeria. Nigeria is going down the drain and foreigners are looking for ways to divest from Nigeria and move to prosperous safe places such as Ghana, Kenya or South Africa.

The only people who have not really caught up with the reality of what is happening in Nigeria are still some recalcitrant Igbo businessmen who are risking their entire wealth and still massively investing in the Southwest or North.

But when alarm finally blows, they will pay for their folly. So, na dem sabi!

As a person who has seen the completion of about 8 buildings in the last 1 year in the south east,

An average of N7,000,000.00 was spent on labor and workmanship costs for these buildings. The whole of the money went to poor artisans in a manner of N3000 average daily for about 200 or more workers who work in each of the houses. This is the best poverty alleviation technique in the world. Work and get rich.

There are plazas going up in Onitsha, there are malls and flyover projects in Ebonyi and Abia, there are roads in many states here, men do these jobs, it has a ripple effect on the economy of the region and people are not as poor as they were to be if not for all these ongoing jobs. Shops will sell more, transportation of goods and services has been lubricating the south east economy.

Construction is the biggest factory in the world.

A south east where whole streets are built up in a few years. None of these buildings were existing here in the past 5 years, all new developments......

The property boom might not reflect the GDP of the residents, I maybe wrong, that sort of scenario happen in Macau, China. In Awka, land x super expensive, structures are rising in leaps but are the owners resident in Anambra. Are they residing and running factories in Lagos?

okeyglm:
What we lack in south east, especially Enugu is industry. The lackadaisical Governors we have in the state lack visions and Willingness to either build or encourage private investors to build. All you see in Enugu is Estate . will the citizens eat estate building. Unfortunately people like spyder is one of their supporter. The only Governor trying in industrial development is Dave umahi.

Enugu is a poor state. Their rural areas are poverty-stricken but some mistakenly believe that Enugu city is representative of Enugu state. Economically, Abians are doing much better than Enuguites though it looks like Abia has been cursed with wicked leaders. Ebonyi is a backward state. Their ruthless governor is busy stealing for himself and his family while poverty and disease kills his people. Anambra state is not where it ought to be but that can change if their people can stop investing in Lagos. Imo is the only state with promise as our IGR and job creation is set to take a leap with the coming on stream of Shell gas and Waltersmith refinery which will create economic boom across the state. Owerri is currently the best city in southern Nigeria.

SpaceTour:
OP this advise should go to Abia, Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi states. These are where their people should wake up. God continue to bless Anambra- the light of nation

superlightning:


sir, even anambra shouldn't be where she is presently. She can do better by achieving a single digit poverty index. Let's not segregate please.

SpaceTour:


That's why you should focus your reprimand more on Imo, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi. The poverty map is clear on the segregation

Nwanyiogwashi:
So you believe this poverty index done by Yoruba man? if you haven't learn something about Nigeria this recent lockdown should have taught you something. This lockdown exposed many things in Nigeria, Enugu and Anambra was on total lockdown like Ogun state and Lagos but who complain of hunger more? The people that has least poverty index was the one complaining of hunger while the so called high poverty index people was not complaining,osun state and IMO state was not on full lockdown but who complain more of hunger between the two states?they say that Igbo's don't love themselves but this lockdown expose the people that doesn't love themselves, during the lockdown is only the west that complain about hunger and even go as far as forming a gang that disturb people sleep at night. If you believe that index then I pity you,I have been with this people from ogwashi ukwu to Asaba and I know their way 100% if I talk more now they will ban me but just know that this lockdown has expose many lies about some people.if you're rich and you can't feed yourself during a difficult time, you are poor.

How can a state that has 59% poverty rate be developing so rapidly. Thank you for your contributions.
