You rushed to report me to the mods after giving you a well deserved insult.. And to know we both traded insults and you were not banned and yet you continue constituting nuisance here..

Like I told you I dont want to derail this thread by comparing Anambra and Ogun but since you want to move mad.. Here's Labour force stats released last year by NBS. As you can see Anambra has more labour force than Ogun and yet Anambra still has more employed than Ogun.. This should be enough to shut you up if you have any sense...

GDP is a very hard statistic to measure and includes a lot of projections - especially the services sector which is mostly informal, unlike the organized private sector. If NBS had put Ogun above Anambra, your type would still be the same to cry Yoruba bias. By measurable indices, Ogun, which is basically Lagos extension, is a more vibrant economy than Anambra - which is why it generates far higher IGR than Anambra. I also doubt Anambra has a bigger population than Ogun. Anambra's tiny landmass gives people the illusion that it is more populated than it actually is due to the population density, but if you look at statistics like Nigerian Communication Commission stats for number of active voice lines and data subscribers, Anambra does not even make Nigeria's top 10 and ranks far behind states like Ogun, Oyo, Rivers etc and even ranks behind states like Edo and our neighbors, Delta:

Nigeria has not done any census in over 14 years and we do not have accurate demographic data.

Whether you claim Ogun is backward outside boundary towns with Lagos is irrelevant. The fact is that those boundary towns with Lagos are still part of Ogun and Ogun collects taxes from the industries and residents there. And it is not even a true statement. I've been to Abeokuta and other than Onitsha it's more developed than any part of Anambra.

You know nothing on my how economy works, go and check what contribute more in Nigeria GDP, state GDP was recently rebased, Anambra trashed Ogun, CBN monitors the transactions going on in all states through banks, using active voice to claim that Ogun is more populated than Anambra clearly shows you are dumb, how about using voters registration with IPOB order telling Igbos not to participate, which affected our data check Anambra and Ogun voters registration and collection of PVC

For folks arguing about the viability of the Anambra Pessenger and Cargo Airport, you guys should save yourselves the strength. For a starter, you aren't wiser than people who did a SWOT analysis before embarking on such project. Anambra state of current, has two aviation moguls in the persons of Allen Onyema of Air Peace and Okonkwo Obiora of United Nigeria Airlines. Both have pledged material resources for that project.

Anambra with its high human capital development wouldn't see her airport turn to a white elephant project. When completed, the airport is going to attract patronage from her well-to- do sons and daughters from all works of life. No be Anambra we dey talk about again. I doubt the common masses would even be able to access the airport in its first few months of commissioning, considering the kind of publicity the project is getting. And you folks arguing about airport's viability is part of that publicity, which we thank you all for. Please worry about the airports surrounding Anambra state and not the one within it. I'm even ashamed Anambra still is talking about building an airport in 2021.

Obi1kenobi:


loool....so Ogun state having 3% less registered voters than Anambra is definitive proof that Anambra is more populated, but having over 100% more registered active phone lines is not? Considering Anambra had a far higher PVC collection rate than Ogun (85% to 71%), what's the relevance of IPOB?
I have made no definitive claims that Ogun is more populated than Anambra, so I'm not sure why you're foaming in the mouth. I highlighted incongruous statistics showing that Anambra's population is overstated and overratekkd due to the population density on a tiny landmass - especially in light of those claiming Onitsha has 7 million people which is obviously nonsense - and that we don't have current census data to settle it conclusively.

So Anambra's GDP ""thrashed" Ogun state (it was actually N3tr to N2.8tr which doesn't count as "thrashing" to most balanced people), and yet generates far less revenue, runs a smaller budget, and attracts vastly less FDI than Ogun? Interesting.

[s]Sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't give your existence a second thought and I certainly didn't report you to anyone - and I've never infact wasted my time to report anyone on Nairaland. If Nairaland moderation worked, that demented, feral psychopath with many monikers who stinks up this thread will not continue to stink up the place. You're the 3rd person on this thread accusing me of something falsely: the first guy claimed he interacted with me on social media when I've not been active on my social media accounts for months; the 2nd one feeling like Sherlock Holmes claimed I'm mktinsight; now your own is that I reported you to the mods. What have you loons been smoking?



1) Those same stats show Imo state as having a bigger labour force than Anambra (yet, some people like to claim that Onitsha alone has 7 million people). Does that sound plausible to you? Until Nigeria does a comprehensive census (the last was the widely vilified exercise of 2006), demographic data should be taken with a pinch of salt cos it's obviously questionable how NBS sample and extrapolate their data. And we're usually the ones that complain when their data don't favor us, but shout loudest when it favors us.

2) Being more populated or having a bigger labor force does not necessarily translate to a bigger economy. Katsina has a bigger population than Anambra by all projections but it's a poor state that often generates less IGR than Ebonyi. And they have an airport built under Yar Adua with pitifully low traffic. Considering how many of the white collar, cosmopolitan, professional class in the organized private sector work in Ogun state due to the industries there, I'd argue they are the kind of people who are more likely to take flights than Anambra traders.

3) Why does Ogun state have double the active voice lines of Anambra according to NCC records? Ndi Anambra don't use phones? Ndi Anambra can't afford phones? Or is it just possible that Anambra's population is not what it's made out to be?

Obi1kenobi:

very single state which built an airport claimed the same thing. Every single one. They all had lofty dreams about the airports transforming their states to Dubai or Singapore. A few years later, after the high overhead costs of running the airport and low patronage starts to hit hard, they contact the FG and hand over the liability for FAAN to run. They didn't see IPP projects to invest in to supply power to an underserved state. Or connect gas pipelines to serve industrial clusters. Or critical infrastructural projects closer to communities in water supply, erosion control, road construction etc. The vision was to squander N6billion to N8billion annually on a white elephant, vanity project. After lying with useless MOUs initially claiming the construction of the airport will be a private-driven venture.

I can see you idiots from Ogun and other western states are seriously in pain over Anambra airport which your state can't afford to build, continue disguising and fooling yourself for nairaland, With your high IGR you borrow to pay ordinary workers wages even having less workforce than Anambra, during recession Ogun state received ballout fund twice to be able to offset workers wages, nothing is going in the state with the huge debt hanging in their neck, keep deciving your when your house is burning. they've been planning to build airport but they can't afford it

Afam4eva:
I ask again, how close is that Anambra Cargo Airport to Onitsha. I hope it's very close. We Igbos need to do away with our clannish attitude and begin to think big. We need to built great cities and to do that, if possible, that Airport should be renamed Onitsha International Airport and all the areas between current Onitsha area to the airport should be grouped under Onitsha metropolitan area. We need to expand Onitsha beyond it's original limits in order to compete favourably.

Yes of course, "nothing is going on" in a state that year after year after year is yielding the biggest foreign direct investments in Nigeria and where many of your kin run to work for multinational FMCGs and pharmaceuticals and cement and mining and metalworks firms, or even go to the biggest cluster of tertiary institutions in the country.

Now I believe you are trolling or I shouldnt be responding to a dummy like you in the first place. You are comparing a 2016 NBS stats with a 2020 NBS stats? You wanted to dismiss the NBS labour stats not even knowing your 2016 phone stats records was from the same NBS not NCC and when did phone lines become a factor in measuring Economy..

I showed you Anambra had not just bigger Labour force but more in employment than Ogun.. If Ogun had a bigger economy than Anambra, they should have more people in employment. Common sense

globemoney01:

How are our kin running to Ogun state to work and yet we have a higher people in Employment than Ogun..

I wish i can frame this post here! We know who these people are, but we don't want to go there since they prefer acting under fake names.

You finally removed their mask LOL.....

Watch how he comes back with I'm from Umunya in Bende LGA of Anambra state. Without knowing a single family in Umunya or any landmarks there. Yet, has very deep, tap-rooted information about Ogun or Osun that only someone from there would know.

Obi1kenobi:


[s]Why would you assume 2016 stats would show different trends from 2020? If they are radically different, then NBS figures are simply fake and made up.
And the stats are from NBS via NCC. NCC are the custodians of the stats as the regulatory body of the comms sectors, and NBS obtained it from them, so I don't know what you're rambling about the stats being from NBS not NCC. And I didn't say anything about phone lines being a factor in measuring economy. That's your failure of comprehension (no surprises there). I touted the stats as an oddity that should bring into question, the claims about Anambra's huge population. And yes, registered phone users should obviously be correlative with the population and comparative affluence of residents of a geographical area. Only a few things can explain why Ogun has about double the number of registered voice and data subscribers that Anambra has: either it has a bigger population, or Ogun's residents are more affluent and sophisticated, or Ogun's residents have a comparatively high fixation with phones compared with Anambrarians, or the statistics from NCC themselves are dubious.

And no, having more people in employment doesn't mean a bigger economy. Obviously, the type of employment and the level of remuneration of said employment would be contributory factors. All jobs are not equal. So your "common sense" is not really very sensible. [/s]

I schooled in UNN with plenty of Anambrarians in my Engineering class. Most of them are in Lagos, Ogun, PH, Abuja, Enugu etc because those are where the jobs are for white collar, skilled professionals. I know like one of them that works with Enugu Distribution Company in Anambra. I hardly know any of them that are based in Anambra.
