How can Imo state record 27 new cases in one fell swoop? What is going on? Imo state is lucky to be surrounded by other states that have very low Corona virus cases yet look at what is happening!!

When an incompetent puppet is giving unmerited power to rule, this is what will always happen.

SMH!!

Sunshineg5:
How can imo alone produce 600 million cubic feet?

Bro try relax small go through the list again

You can check it again yourself. 300 mcf in two locations.

Sunshineg5:
Oh thank God you have finally accepted that you exploit the Niger Delta more than anyone else.

They have come again. Did you even read the table on gas producers? Imo state alone produces 600 million cubic feet of gas which is higher than most others in the list!

Alakija is chashing fame while Uju is chasing money

Only in Nigeria will people be making noise so shamelessly about a former hairdresser who fraudulently obtained an oil well.

That woman symbolizes everything that is wrong with Nigeria and should never be celebrated. I mean what are we teaching the younger generation if we continue to mention her when there are lots of actual role models like that Uju of Brittania U.

Check out states leading in oil lubricant production

After Lagos, Abia, Kwara, Anambra state

Lagos has the highest number followed by Anambra, then Kaduna, Ogun, Imo, and Abia states.

Igbos are gradually transforming their dominance of the trade and commerce into industry. Many of the industries being built by Igbos were of products they formerly used to import.

flokii:
If Niger Delta will be the poorest, then what will happen to South East?

All the attache by force, we the SS/SE is for what?

Really, you want to compare yourself with SE in terms of survival potentials? Even with our industry, commerce and huge diaspora population which earns huge remittances. If there is any ethnic group that can easily survive post Nigeria, it is definitely the Igbos!

ClitRaider:
So Igbo produces palm oil?
why Dem dey call yourba ofe?
Some peeps are just plain hypocrites.

Lol, your problem is hydraheaded, partly an inability to read and comprehend, and partly due to ignorance.

Yes, Igbos call afonjas ndi ofe nmanu basically because they don't know how to prepare soup without spoiling it with too much palm oil.

There is no village in Igboland that does not produce palm oil and kernels in large quantities. Until the 90's, many household in the villages rely on proceeds from Palm oil and kernels to earn a living in combination with subsistence farming. Similarly, most states in the East have large oil palm plantations.

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

Orji Uzor Kalu is in the category of the few wealthy people that include the likes of Emeka Offor, Arthur Eze etc. However, I'm talking about the tens of thousands of businessmen who are millionaires and billionaires. Many of them are now branching into manufacturing. The likes of Innoson, AZ oil, Orange drugs and so many others belong to this group.

Igbos have the same attributes like Lebanese, Indians, Jews and Chinese. One thing that is common about this group is that they are naturally gifted and because of persecutions they suffered at some point in their history have decided not to trust others but instead to build a network of cartels through which they control certain sectors.

Just like these other foriegn ethnicities I mentioned, go to any Sub-Saharan African country today, and you will see the Igbos just like the Chinese and Lebanese controlling the supply of goods.

Being in control of the value chain of the informal sector as well as having the largest diaspora population are the reasons why Igbos have the largest middle class in Nigeria. Lastly, check how many billion dollars Nigeria receives as remittances annually.

Amarabae:
hmmmm its scary but their media will be making it look like there is no atom of oil and gas in south east

The loss of the civil war really dealth a huge blow on us. Since 1970, these guys have used all manner of propaganda to demarket us. If any bad thing happens to us, they will use the media to blow it out of proportion but when good things happen to us, they will ignore it. I bet you if the reverse were to be case, i.e. Osun happens to be the one supplying gas to Onitsha, it would have made headlines and they will keep citing it as case study.

Igboland has more onshore oil than any place in Nigeria and that is fact! When you combine all the Igboid oil bearing communities in Rivers, Imo, Abia, Delta, Anambra and Akwa Ibom then you will know that no other ethnic group has such volume of oil in Nigeria. Igboland boundaries have been known right from precolonial era so no abo.ki can wake up and tell us where our boundary is.

Even the little oil in Ondo state that makes them oil producing is found in Ilaje, an Ijaw speaking community. You see their evil game plan? They add non Yoruba speaking oil bearing communities to their state but at the same time remove Igbo oil bearing communities from our states.

Thank God that we have the numbers and intellectuals to destroy their lies in this digital age. What people see as fight between Igbos and afonjas on nairaland everyday is simply a fight between facts vs fiction, reality vs propaganda between the former and the latter.

dukeprince50:
I don't know who has more poor people, but think of it, Nigeria has the richest people(pastors, politicians, business moguls) in Africa yet one of the poorest countries in terms of GDP per Capita, having so many rich men is different from being a rich country

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??

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.

Not true! Biafra can easily double food production within a few years and in less than a decade become food sufficient. Even if we need to get more, we can still decide to buy from Cameroun. But on the other hand, without the Biafran market, many families in the north that depend on agriculture will lose their income and sink deeper into poverty. So the North or Arewa will need us more than we will need them.

If Nigerians are sensible, the best solution is to give every region semi autonomy so that everyone can still benefit from each other.

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?

Only a fool will believe that SE has more poor people than the SW. You guys can continue mastur.bating on the fiction the propagandist called Yeye Kale fabricated but anyone who has traversed the SW outside Lagos, as I have done knows the true picture.

timibare:
In the East we like using firewood....let dem take d gas to Lagos or abuja...

Stop being myopic, Aba has gas pipeline supply infrastructure since many decades now. That was why Geometric owned by Barth Nnaji built its independent power project in the city and that's also why Aba has lots of industries.

The governors are only saying that all the state capitals should be connected since we have large deposit of gas.

Amarabae:
if it is true, then it is a big height of injustice.
why not lay gas pipeline across all States?

Of course it is true, Dave Umahi who happens to be the chairman of the SE governors forum made the statement so it is 100% factual. However, even in the breakup of Nigeria, they will be paying for it just as Ghana is paying for gas we supply to them.

Imo state followed by Anambra has the largest gas reserves in Nigeria. When you consider that gas is the future because the importance of oil will gradually decline in the coming years, then you will understand that Igbos definitely has all it takes to be a great country even if they go with the five SE states.

Now it is confirmed that we have enough human and natural resources as well as access to the sea, what else can they use to demarket us??

Innoson is really going places. I see that company becoming the biggest brand from Africa in the coming years.

There is a reason why Nigeria and South Africa together dominate Africa economically.

The effrontery and guts these barbarians exhibit always amazes me. You mean, they went to people's farmland, occupied it illegally and from there attack law abiding citizens and after each robbery or kidnapping, they will return to their hideouts in the bushes and when the owners of such illegally occupied lands asks them to vacate those places, they refuse and start protesting!?

Only in Nigeria does such nonsense happen, in sane environments such as the United States, any landlord has the right to shoot you if you trespass into his property unlawfully. Every Southern community should as a matter of urgency chase these barbarians away from any bush they are found. If they can't rent houses and live like normal human beings then they should return to the north and enjoy their stone-age living in peace.

Bastards!!

They should watch the supreme Court governor carefully, he is to them what Judas Iscariot was to Jesus and disciples.

Aside that, these are my takeaways from the meeting:
1. Imo State supplies gas to Lagos

2. Umahi is currently the most popular SE governor.

3. The environment they took the picture and their outlook looks so beautiful.

4. By handing over the decision to the various states house of assembly, they don't want to give the Federal government through the attorney general any excuse to sabotage their efforts.

5. Fulani herdsmen killings will not continue indefinitely.

Okoroawusa:
I get 9 accounts with the same BVN. That one no be news.

Saharareporters should go n sit down. Good investigative journalism is coming out with evidence that those accounts contain proceeds of fraudulent means and how much each account contains.

I have 3 accounts in 3 banks with nothing inside but with the same BVN.

Look at him defending corruption. In your haste to support the corrupt man you ended up confusing yourself. In one sentence, you claim to have 9 accounts with one BVN, in another sentence you claim it is 3 accounts in 3 banks. Don't sell your soul to the devil because of peanuts. Nigeria has been looted to oblivion yet people like you still support them. SMH!

Lol, if ordinary speaker could have such number of accounts which he is using to loot Lagos dry, then imagine how many the capon, drug Lord and godfather of the state since 1999 would have.

Despite having almost the entire infrastructure of Nigeria situated in one place and all the revenue being generated from them, Lagos still struggles to provide even the most basic amenities for its suffering citizens.

Primitive kleptomaniacs have held the state hostage since 1999. SMH!

Just look at the elements Buhari surrounded himself with. The I'd!ot thought he could hide his bigotry by replying in Hausa.

Hear him, he is going to contact people that will prevent justice from taking place! A rapist who defiled a minor is who a supposed government representative is defending! Shameless people!!

Seerade029:
Does cocoa grow in abia?

Yes, it does.

Seerade029:
Only Akwaibom and Benin produces cocoa apart from west.

Fallacy, Michael Okpara established cocoa farm settlements in present day Abia, Cross River and Akwa Ibom.

Seerade029:
Read this report.

You guys can't beat it in 60s

I have read the report and it doesn't disprove the fact that the West was lagging behind the East in terms of school enrollment and other development indices during the 1950's and 1960's prior to the civil war.

Bring a comparative analysis for confirmation and not a data that proves nothing!

MetaPhysical:
Youve always been primitive. White man opened your eyes.

Of course, Europe was the most advanced region during that period and they assisted other regions too. They opened America, Africa, Asia and Australia as well, so what does that has to do with anything?

MetaPhysical:
Palm oil and kernels is produced all over South including West. It is not exclusive to East.

Same applies to cocoa, it is equally produced all over the South including a small area in the North. It is not exclusive to the West.

mamaafrik:
When you ask an average Yoruba man that went to school before 80s ,95℅ will tell you It was through Awolowo.

I do tell people if Easterners were to have been in North shoe,they would have been a more worse devil in Nepotism and favouritism than Hausas abd Fulanis.
Ironsi situation is there for all to see,check Diamond banks and many whose MDs are ibos.

They are bunch of hypocrites who practice what they can't preach and if you doubt me check parastatals led by Ibos.

Understanding your destiny matters for growth in live,they often times think they are more smart and intelligent but that is not the case in reality.

I wonder who will take the risk to transact with someone who is lacking in integrity and honesty.

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

MetaPhysical:
Here are commodity exports and Nigeria's foreign Exchange Earnings by product.

Point to your contribution here. Freak!

I don't know what your point is with this table you presented. If it is to show that cocoa was the main income earner for the country during the period under review, then it shows you either didn't understand it fully or you want to decieve people.

The data even proves that palm oil and kernels from the East contributed more than cocoa or groundnut!

Facts

When people said that in Biafra, Africa died, they know what they were saying! Each time I look at how developed we would have been today considering our very high development indices prior to the civil war, I just feel like crying.

These guys have finnally reduced us to their level of primitivity. They have dragged us down yo their level of debauchery.

We Igbos must do everything possible to leave this sh!thole for the barbarians because we simply do not belong here!

Apawicked:
Facts

My goodness, I'm beginning to have the impression that afonjas contributed to Nigeria's decay more than any other group. It has become clear that the only reason why history learning was stopped in Nigeria was to erase the massive exploits and contributions to the growth of Nigeria and to replace it with blatant lies and propaganda which they have continued to churn out unabashedly, the most recent being the ridiculous nonsense Yeye Kale produced from his smelly ass and presented to the public as statistics!

Even as far back as the 1960's, the Igbos were already ahead of the afonjas in school enrollment yet they kept telling the indomie generation how the afonjas are the most educated tribe in Nigeria. The only time they were ahead was immediately after the white men first arrived established schools in Lagos and Abeokuta but the moment they crossed the Niger, we took over (read Achebe's Trouble with Nigeria for more emphasis) and it has remained like that till today (university enrollment figures, JAMB and WAEC figures proves that).

The British system only supported merit and that was why Igbos occupied majority of posts in the country and that was the golden years of Nigeria until the civil war and the afonjas and abo.kis took over to destroy everything. Since then it has remained a free fall to the abyss and that is why we want out from this suicide mission called Nigeria.

Welcome development!
Nigeria is stvpid country where a collection of greedy kleptomaniacs will loot everything when in power and still have the effrontery to be collecting more allowance after leaving office. Rubbish!
