You don hear about Otedola 435MW Geregu power plant?

Otedola didn't build anything. Geregu alongside Alaoji, Papalanto, Afam ii etc were built by the federal government.

Meanwhile, Alaoji in Abia state is bigger than Geregu.

waynetee:
We are getting there.

Meanwhile, Omoluabis will do something, yeye beerfraud people will looking for every means to claim it. No be juju be that?

See this bigot. Geometric already built a gigantic power plant to give Aba 24 hours uninterrupted power supply. Igbos didn't make noise about it, but ordinary 30 megawatts is what you're gloating over?

There is no guarantee it would even be completed, something that might be used for money laundering.

If the judiciary fails to give a fair judgment, Nigeria won't survive as a country going forward. A lot is at stake.

E still dey pain this Agulu man say he lost

3rd class Nssuka graduate who came 3rd in an election and wants to steal mandate

I challenge Obi supporters to bring forward Obi's class mates, at DGMS and also Nssuka

You don't even have shame. How can you be showing "Thurby" as same as Tinubu?
The real certificate indicates it was a female!

Tinubu mentioned a non existent primary school as the one he attended. He claimed to school at government college ibadan but the school denied he ever passed through there!
He claimed he collected NYSC exemption certificate when such wasn't even available during the time!

Why are you bigots still defending a fraud!!!!

It's really a shame how Blacks tend to always self destruct due to crab mentality. When the second world war ended, the American government realized that German scientists and technologists were advanced than others across the globe. They were the bedrock that helped Hitler to even imagine conquering the world. So, they persuaded them to relocate to America. Gave them all the amenities and conducive environment to operate. United States benefitted greatly from their exploits!

When the Biafra/Nigeria civil war ended, instead of the Nigerian government to empower the Biafran scientists and engineers to work for the country, they instead decided to destroy their efforts. They did it out of fear, envy, wickedness and ignorance. Today, Nigeria has continued in circles of poverty, when we should have become technologically advanced like the Asian Tigers.

A plot of land opposite Federal mortgage estate, 11 million. It's in a gated new estate and well planned.

A plot of land at Amaeze, Naze, Owerri.

It's buy and build with buildings around.

Price is 1.5 million.

10 plots of land available for sale at Okuku, Owerri.

@ 1 million each.

sultanofpigs:
If Yoruba land had oil and gas in quantum sizes, Oduduwa will be on every Yoruba man's lips. Their greatest enemy has all the gas, that is why they hate BIAFRA. When BIAFRA exits then Yoruba land will be like ILORIN.

Yorubaland ends in the 5 SW states i.e. Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ogun and Ekiti. Any attempt by them to go beyond these boundaries under Oduduwa will be resisted.

Oduduwa will be another Benin republic.

Tinubu will be removed and nothing will happen.

People believe that buying property i.e. land or building is more profitable in Lagos than anywhere else in Nigeria. However, this is not actually true and I will prove it in this thread. I will be using Owerri as a case study. Moreover, buying property in Lagos has become increasingly risky, and even worse if you're Igbo or any tribe aside Yoruba.

1. A plot of land @ 10 million in Lagos can only be found in places like Ikorodu, Ejigbo and other fringes with slums around the neighborhood. But a 10 million naira land in Owerri can easily be in a gated estate/neighborhood with Lekki style buildings.

2. A 2 storey building on that 10 million naira land in Owerri can fetch a rent of 600,000 annually but the one in Lagos will find it difficult getting high paying tenants because of the poor neighborhood.

3. A property you bought in Owerri, will definitely be yours and even inherited by your children. However, any property you buy in Lagos will always be at risk. If you're lucky not to have issues with the family that sold it to you, the baale will wake up some day and claim that it owns the land. The state government might also decide to play politics and claim it was erected in a wrong zone or that it has developed structural defects. Thus, they would demolish it.

4. Buying land in Lagos is highly risky. The owner might decide to sell same property to different buyers at the same time. This scenario is quite common. Omoniles can even assassinate the buyer. The baale can instigate the youths with yoruba ronu cry and they will fight you. However, in Owerri, such situations don't occur.

5. Nigeria's future in the long run, is quite uncertain. Nobody knows what could happen in the next 5, 10 or 20 years to come. Again, Lagos has become highly volatile since politics of ethnicity was introduced during the last election. Such fears won't be in the heart of those that buy in Owerri. Whatever happens, your land/building will always be yours, even in the next 50 years or more!

There are other reasons why buying lands/buildings is more profitable in Owerri than Lagos, but I will stop here for now.

renderme:
Wetin concern imo with what they’re discussing here?

If you lack comprehension ability, then simply go back to primary school.

Imo and Akwa Ibom seem to be making serious moves toward gas.

Imo has already gone far on onshore gas while Akwa Ibom is now focusing on offshore gas. The two states are also in the first 5 with biggest GDP in Nigeria.

plaindealer:
This is the real picture even as usual, you people love to confuse yourselves with data that you can not properly read and comprehend.


In the grand scheme of things, Imo is still at the bottom.

IGR growth is poor and deplorable.

IGR per Capita is lousy

Capital important is abysmal

You're the one confusing yourself out of desperation. IGR per capita is rubbish. Capital importation doesn't mean anything in real terms.

A state can chose to tax citizens to stupor like you guys do in SW. Even pure water sellers are taxed! Another state can decide not to tax citizens and help them to have more disposable money.

We are talking about GDP which is a globally recognized yardstick while you're talking about IGR.

Na wa o.

Workch:
we can search Google satellite. Onitsha doesn't have more buildings than kano, Port harcourt and Abuja. Even Ibadan.

I am Igbo but we have to tell ourselves the truth

Forget about being Igbo, we are talking facts here. Demographia and other international organizations that gave that data don't have any reason to be biased. You don't know more than them!

Lagos is most built up because there are buildings back-to-back for hundreds of miles. Same is applicable to Onitsha. They don't consider Ibadan as built-up because the buildings are more or less shanties, which are categorized as slums by those international bodies.

Workch:
onitsha is a small place by landmass, it can possible be the 2nd most built up city in Nigeria. I don't think it's even in top 10.

Even chatGPT don't think so

ChatGPT shouldn't be relied upon on such issue. Demographia and other research bodies are more reliable.

ChatGPT only picks random information online to form its opinion.

You should also understand that Metropolitan area is not same as city. Onitsha metropolitan area includes Obosi, Oba and others. By 2040 more than half of Anambra will be part of greater Onitsha. P.H growth is largely limited because of the torpographic nature of the state. Only Obigbo, parts of Etche, Ikwerre, Ogoni and other adjoining will become part of P.H.

kettykings:
You are right about the oil and gas growth but see some new insight from Google map and see how a sprawling swathes of city spread is emerging gradually

Anytime you're traveling from Onitsha, you will observe that the stretch from Onitsha/Owerri road remains busy with towns almost joining each other all the way to Owerri. Ihiala, Ekwusigo, Uli, Mgbidi, Awo omama etc. Then Owerri. In years to come, they will all combine to form a cornubation just like Tokyo.

SpecialAdviser:
If this data is correct then immidiate Enugu state past governor has got a lot of queries to answer. But on a more serious not, I don't believe that Enugu position.

Problem with Nigeria statistical data is that they are conjured in beer parlours

Do you even understand the term GDP I.e. gross domestic product? It means total value of goods and services generated within a state. Enugu has been lagging in terms of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and even extraction of minerals. These are the major sectors that contribute to GDP. Ebonyi is leveraging on extraction of solid minerals and agriculture that's why it seems to be punching above its weight.

Imo State is leveraging on oil and gas value chain and services. By the time the gas resources are fully developed in Imo, the state will even grow more rapidly. Check the volume of airports traffic in Nigeria and you will see Owerri on the 4th position, breathing down on P.H.

I used to think that Yorubas are smart until I saw them being manipulated by Reno.

Omockry just dey use their brain anyhow. Dey press their mumu button and they keep liking and sharing his IQ reducing posts

WorldRichest:
Go and do it nah, and come back and tell us.

Even Yeye Osun has come out to say she no dey do again.

I couldn't stop laughing when they called Yoruba cultural practice paganism

Omo, Fulanis no send anyone

Utsmandanfodio:
Yes Ilorin Muslims are hypocrites,

why threatening yeye osun when you will hardly/rarely meet any Alfa in Ilorin who is not into yoruba traditional religion? Even majority if not all babalawo's are bearing muslim names, so why the hypocrisy against yeye osun

Yeye osun will do her festival and nothing will happen.

Lol, this one is not even getting the message. Fulanis see llorin as a muslim Northern town, the way they see others like Kano, Kaduna, Katsina etc. They don't want anything that would make Illorin to be perceived as a Yoruba town.

FYI, that order most likely came from Sokoto!

Raskimonojendor:
Open up a shop where they can be taxed properly or return home to invest in the east.

What are you talking about? Do agbo hawkers stay in shops?

mrvitalis:
I would not want my IMO economic growth to be dependent on a natural resources

IMO state government need to create economic zones in orlu, egbema, and okigwe zones plus Ngokpala
Most importantly supply them with GAS!!!!! That's the koko... Anyone can build factory n power it with gas

The create a made in IMO brand... To use that on your product... It must meet certain QA/QC standards... So people would know once a product has made in IMO it's of the highest quality n finest finishing ... Massively promote made in IMO across Africa n the world as a sign if high quality

Implement a housing tax of 15% the rental value of the property... Use that to improve the infrastructure of the state

Hotels pay 10% of their room rate at 40% occupancy rate flat... Every hotel gets 2 years grace from the day it opens

From the two tax reforms 600 billion csn easier br generated but worse case 250 billion yearly that's 300 million dollars not bad for a start

My brother, forget tax. There is a reason SE governors don't put emphasis on tax. With all the so-called tax generated in Ogun state, its infrastructure is still in terrible state. Aba has far better roads than what you will find in Sango Ota and Agbara.

They can even tax companies in Lagos and Ogun because majority of the owners are either foreigners or from other states. So, instead of repatriating every profit, the government there uses tax to get a small percentage. However, most companies in the East are owned by our people. We don't need to tax them arbitrarily.

A state like Imo with huge oil and gas deposits already has enough funds for government to work with. Create enabling environment and our people will invest and the money stays in our region.

HitlerWasRight:
And you think that without powerful Nigerian diplomacy you will still remain within these countries you mentioned ?

When your Biafra comes, you go see the mother of all deportations that will begin from Nigeria down to SA to Ghana and Kenya.

The Indian govt that opened their borders to Nigeria so as to also allow for their own expats to work in Nigeria, will not hesitate to deporting you .


You guys do not understand the gravity of being kicked out from Nigeria

Lol, you're not even getting it. Once Igbos leave the contraption, Nigeria automatically becomes less influencial. The bragging rights Igbos bring to Nigeria, be it in football, education, famous personalities like Okonjo Iweala, oil and gas, indigenous manufacturing, Nigerian hustling clout abroaf etc. Would be lost to Biafra.

Nigeria would become a dead weight. Again, without Igbos, the country will collapse because we are the glue holding it together.

Cooly100:
You have been looking for unity for more than 50 years and we are now back 100 years with division.

I wonder how the same people that supported a drug lord and attacked fellow citizens are now preaching unity.

Today, Igbos must leave Lagos, Igbos must not vote in election.
Tomorrow, Nigeria is better as one country, we need each other.

What sort of confused despicable souls are these

HitlerWasRight:
No other ethnic group save the wandering Fulani has exploited the Nigerian franchise to the fullest and to their sole benefit at the expense of others than the Ibo.

I wonder how they think they will be allowed to continue in Nigeria as if nothing changed when they get their Biafra .

This is by far the most least thought out movement mankind has ever seen.

I wrote about SW myopia but I think it's time I wrote on Ibo cataracts.

Crap!

Go to Cameroun, Benin, Ghana, Ivory coast, Gabon, Congo, SA, Mozambique, US, Asia, Europe etc. Igbos are in large numbers in all those places.

With or without Nigeria, it won't stop us from traveling the world. How many Igbos are in the North or Lagos that makes you believe they can't relocate elsewhere with ease?

ebubeson:
The Nigeria you know is better than the new country you don't know...

If Igbos are 20 million, it is very possible that 16 million prefer to be in Nigeria than Biafra.. Stop intimidating Igbos in the East. Nigeria is not totally the problems of Igbos for now.

If IGBOS become afraid of going back to their origin, then they may become mockery in other places where they reside. STOP MAKING IGBOS AFRAID in Igboland. Don't fight your own progress . There are other ways to do things..

Immediately there is great peace, deep freedom amongst people, love, forgiveness, wealth, progress, investments, development, integrity, riches, no crime, no anger or hostility, good structure, liberty, friendliness and serenity in the East, THEN IGBOS AND INVESTORS may come from all over the world to Igboland.. AND WHEN IGBOS from all over the world begin to return to the EAST, "anything is possible".. IGBOS are blessed people.

One Nigeria is better for now, and if God wants it so, let it remain like that.

Now you're sure Igbos will prefer Nigeria over Biafra, can you all demand for Nnamdi Kanu release? Then call for referendum?

calabaman:
Policeman on duty wearing slippers?
This country sef.

E shock you abi

calabaman:
No, but I mean who wears sneakers with an oversized uniform.

If Nigerian police can wear ordinary bathroom slippers on duty then what's wrong in a militant group wearing sneakers?

Their uniforms aren't oversize by the way.

Sharpsharp00123:
Oga I don mention u tire I no see u comment for that thread wey ipob beat small children n that thread wey dem scatter peoples things in Enugu

E b like say u no dey concerned about that one which is happening presently but u can create multiple thread for what will happen in lagos in d next 27 years

Stop mentioning me over irrelevant things because I will ignore. If IPOB flog school children that's child abuse, you should call the police, not me.

I dwell on important issues such as the projected disappearance of Lagos by 2050. The threat is real my brother.

Ibadanpikin:
The recently GDP stats release by world bank,shows that Imo state has the 3rd largest economy in Nigeria.Abundance of gas have shooting up Imo state economy above other all sw states apart Lagos,Anambra is 6th also above all sw states apart Lagos.

Let the slum dwellers breathe na

Bakrabas:
From their shoes you shall know that they're poor

Lol, are they supposed to be rich
