The best ecomonic model is one where wealth is largely spread out and not in control of a select few like you have in the north and to a lesser extent in the SW, but on the other hand, wealth is relatively spread out in the East. I will give you instances to judge; go to any SE village, you will find almost everyone living in decent houses, I mean duplexes or at least bungalows.

In my own village in Imo state, I have not seen anyone living in thatch or mud houses, even native doctors that used to live in such now live in normal houses but when I went to the North and parts of the SW, thatched and mud houses were very common in their communities with only a few nice looking houses. Secondly, go to any city in the SE, you will find out that almost every neighborhood looks like a middle class estate in terms of housing. However, it is different in the North or SW. Likewise, go to any city outside Igbo land and ask yourself why Igbos always live in relatively better houses than the locals.

Now, you will agree with me that no one who has the means will want to live in slum/shanty housing. So where is the poverty Yeye Kale is talking about?

Lastly, Nigeria's economy is largely informal sector controlled. Again, ask yourself which people control the informal sector in Nigeria? Of course the Igbos. Aside controlling the informal sector, we still compete favourably in the formal sector and we have the largest diaspora population. So how on Earth do we have more poor people than the SW??

nadisms:


I am from Anambra and presently I reside at sokoto.

you said the painful truth...



if you havent been to south east,you wont understand...

it would be hard for south east to adapt if oil dries but they would surely spring a surprise..

I trust my people..

ogenyi1:



Ph is disgusting to say the least

tatatar:

Which region is the poverty capital of the South,and in Nigeria after the core North? And which region generates by far the highest non-oil revenues? And which regions have the lowest IGR in the country?

fugarlion:


You think Igbos need monthly allocation? You think Igbos rebuilt and developed Abuja and Lagos from monthly allocation? You afonjas need to travel out and think out of the box. Igbos' wealth comes from doing business and commerce, not government. Igbos have weak center, meaning private enterprise and individuals run almost 80% of the state; 20% or so is what government does, which is the reverse in the North and Yorubaaland where 80% is government driven. 80% of yorubas are government workers.

tested4sure:
[i][/i] And who are they igbos going to exploits again? is it aba or enugu that all the igbos will gather and do thier ingenuity, who s going to buy? , truth is igbos can never leave nigeria, they and fulanies need nigeria like husband n wife.

dukeprince50:
wealth is equally distributed in SE? uzor kalu case proves that "terms and conditions are applied".

fugarlion:


Watch and see what will happen if oil dries up. You know what Igbos are made off. So-called oil has never benefited Igbos, not one bit. All they built in not from oil.

Taba21:


Oil or no oil Niger Delta remains a blessed region in natural resources

Taba21:


Are they not receiving any money from the government coming through oil source

Goodmarlian:


Who will build ports for you in this Nigeria? federal government? Lagos is the only port we will ever have in Nigeria forget others

Kinematics:

So the ones in Warri, PH, Onne and Calabar are not ports.

Kinematics:

You dey mind the empty chest beaters. People that cant live in their own region, but always run away to seek for greener pastures in other regions.
They make noise online everyday yet their region is competing with NE in poverty.

fugarlion:
Eastern region will survive from their ingenuity. Igbos will always embrace their so-called Niger Delta brothers whether oil or no oil because blood is thicker than water. Yorubbas will never ever embrace so-called Niger Delta without oil, same goes for Hausa-Fulani because they know they are not related; this fake love is all about their oil. But so-called Niger Delta people in hindsight will forever hate Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani from generation to generation. I'm talking about the kind of hate that if they see Yorubaa or Hausa-Fulani after separation without oil, dey fit harm una.

Yorubbas will not survive without oil money as this Corona only exposed them. Hausa-Fulani may survive by managing!

Sammy07:


You're running around like rat.
You don't understand what economics means.

If north stop providing food and east start importing them
Your forex will go down.

dukeprince50:
nah, Lagos economy is not just oil, they also have the entertainment industries

Sammy07:

You make sense. But the north still provides food.
North produces highest agricultural export

Sammy07:


I can't say north is like medical team.

North are as important as anything.
Or else the money generated from ND/SW will be used to import food outside.

Which will affect your forex

AwkaFinest:
If oil dries all the landlocked regions will suffer just like 80% of landlocked countries in Africa. Look at Africa today, only countries like Botswana, Zambia, Ethiopia, Uganda and Rwanda are doing well. The rest landlocked countries are shit.


I pity for my Anambra. As ndi potopoto we will be in deep shit!

PortHarcourt1st:



Rivers yoots shall become cannibals once oil is gone. Look at them right now, what do you think will happen when oil runs dry.
