And for anyone that would ever consider India as a place to go and hustle or even do any economic activity, I’m really sorry for you in advance.

Since I saw deep and massive poverty in India, I have been questioning how Nigeria is called world’s poverty capital and not India.

The sort of destitution, filth and backwardness I encountered in India, is something I have never seen in my life. No where in Southern Nigeria has this sort of destitution. Although, I haven’t gone beyond Abuja to experience the extent of poverty there.

If Northern Nigeria is the single reason why Nigeria is called poverty capital of the world and they have more destitute than what I saw in India, then we have a disaster in our hands.

For those who have been to North west and North east, is the situation over there that bad to be worse than India

Easternmind:
The downward decline started with the current administration and those that support them..

I thought N216 to a dollar was evil and they can provide 3 million jobs when Jonathan is out according to them(their words not mine)....

With Tinubu,I guess we can hope for the best.

The decline actually began in 2015 when Buhari took over and has now worsened terribly under Buhari.

APC is a disaster that destroyed our economy and Tinubu is the number one person to blame.

The disgusting drug lord and his band of primitive tribalistic supporters really destroyed Nigeria. It will take a while before this country will recover from the damage they did.

The most useless and disgusting set of people are the primitive bigots supporting Tinubu. Everything about them is tribalism and bigotry.

Shut up. We are matching forward. No open gutter on major roads. Over used car? Wetin concern that one with development?

Don’t mind that bigot. The funny thing is that what they use in Ibadan are rickety gwura gwura mini buses and all manner of Kabu-kabu.

Enyimba city restoration to former glory is on course

The picture below is somewhere in New Delhi. This is how I expect Aba to be looking like at night.

With 24/7 electricity, modern features like neon lights, high rises and glass front shops should become common in Aba.

Does anyone still take these fools serious? Just look at how dum.b and clownish the guys looks with that stupid spectacle on his face.

The only minister of power Nigeria has had since 1999 was Barth Nnaji, the rest from Fashola to this confused guy were all totally useless.

I like the way it’s the same Yorubas that are condemning the foolish old man. Otherwise, Tinubu and his band of bigots would have turned it into another Igbo vs. Yoruba tribal issue. Tinubu is the worst vermin that happened to happened to Nigeria.

Aba is really poised to become great again. I see that city becoming Nigeria’s most industrialized and most commercialized in the coming years.

Meanwhile, that express axis should be the new CBD. Now that electricity supply is available 24/7, I don’t see any reason why high rises shouldn’t dot that axis.

nedekid:
Imo shock me. How is it possible?

If only you’re educated enough to understand basic economics, it wouldn’t have shocked you.

Truly truly education is not scam😩

ANSMEDIA:
You know Anambra state economy is far bigger than Imo state base on non oil economy , expect you chose to deceive yourself minus oil which is not reflecting in the life of average Imo indigenes, in real business activities Anambra is far.

The mistake you people are making is thinking that economy starts and ends with buying and selling. Owerri/Imo has something that Anambra does not have, and that’s packaging and creating an economy that attracts elites.

9 out of 10 educated Anambra people won’t like to stay in the state if they can help it. Aside Abuja, Lagos and to an extent P.H, no city in Nigeria attracts elites than Owerri and that’s a fact. Do you know how much those elites that are always in Owerri spend in those hotels, clubs, bars etc? Can you build luxury businesses in Anambra? No! But you can build luxury businesses in Owerri and it will thrive.

For a city to have so many big hotels, bars, restaurants and malls yet they are all thriving at the same time, what do you think it’s the reason?

Imo state has always been the largest economy in the SE even before the onset of massive gas exploitation. You’re the one deceiving yourself.

ANSMEDIA:

Nigeria has 36 states, but you guys always limit yourselves to unnecessary dik measuring with SE. What sort of local champion mentality is that?

You brought a list that showed Edo having almost double of Anambra figures yet you brought it as exhibit. Does it then mean that Edo economy is twice that of Anambra since they have almost double the deposits? Isn’t that what your logic is about?

ANSMEDIA:
Check money deposited in Banks

Before throwing up this stupid list, did you even check it to see that Edo is almost double that of Anambra? You have no problem showing how Edo is far ahead of Anambra in money deposit as long as it gives you something to latch on against Imo state?

When will you guys grow up and stop being so petty and childish?

What a shame.

ANSMEDIA:
The biggest economy in Southeast is Anambra state

BANK CREDIT AND DEPOSIT BY STATES IN NIGERIA



Bank credit/deposit in each state may be used as an indicator of the level of activity and well being of operators (households and businesses) in a particular state as it shows what residents are borrowing and the amount deposit in banks

Did he mention Anambra? No! Did he mention South East? No! Yet, you are here again with another childish and clannish dik measuring. It really smacks of inferiority complex.

SMH.

Abagworo:
You can easily tell Imo is rich going by the quality of life in the State but we have the worst critics on earth because everyone is educated up to University and demands more from the Government .

You’re absolutely right. The standard of living in Imo state is relatively high, only Lagos, Abuja and P.H can compare to it. The volume of hotels, malls, high class restaurants, clubs, bars and boutiques etc already proves this. Also, check the volume of flights in Nigeria and you will see Owerri coming 4th behind Lagos, Abuja and P.H.

Many rich Igbos who stay in the East prefer to live in Owerri than anywhere else, even Enugu is gradually being displaced by Owerri as Igbos premier city.

Imo state governors are short sighted, otherwise they would have focused on giving Owerri a vibe that will attract more elites to live in the city. However, with the aggressive commencement of gas exploitation in Imo state, the state is poised to soar even higher.

hammer567:
If you want to know why Abia needs an Airport, just see what Anambra is enjoying.

1hr Lagos to Anambra.

Well, it needs to be very close to Aba. If it’s not closer to Aba than Imo airport that is in Owerrinta, then it’s not worth it.

These idiots called Nigerian politicians should stop being stupid. There is no other place in the world where they still build roads with open gutters, except Nigeria and some other unfortunate West African countries.

Gosh, the money these bastards steal is enough to cover all gutters and plant trees.

OBTMOS:
When they come to Nigeria, we call them expatriate!
When we go to their country, we are called immigrants! Isn’t that concerning?

Well, it depends on what you’re doing in a foreign country that will determine if you’ll be called expatriate or immigrant. You can’t be washing dishes or mopping floors and expect to be called an expatriate 🤪

I’m in one of the Asian countries and I’m called an expatriate. It’s written in my contract documents and I earn far above what the locals earn.

Meanwhile, that Chinese murderer must never be allowed to go free. It’s quite shameful that Nigerian soldiers are the ones protecting him. It’s due to inferiority complex, if it’s their own country, the soldiers will tactically release the murderer to mobs and allow them to kill the guy.

A terrible and worthless combination. What is Ribadu’s credibility? Nothing tangible!

Fashionable tried in Lagos, anyone can try in Lagos anyway. However, he was made a minister and he failed woefully.

Why would anyone even think of another Yoruba man as president? What sort of greediness and crass insensitivity would that be

PresidObi:
I think it's about population. You cannot be building houses if there are nobody living in them.

Not exactly true. I have seen lots of so-called cities in South west and other places in Nigeria, they’re just crowded slums. So, it’s not about lack of people but rather twin factors such as poverty and lack of taste.

Splashme:
Ibos and buildings sha.
Congrats
.

Igbos have got taste and class, no dispute about that. When I see lots of fine buildings scattered around some areas in Owerri only for the roads to lack side walk, covered drains and trees/flowers, it pains me.

Places in new Owerri will instantly look like abroad if only the stupid state government could provide those basic things.

Taigaban:
If I have this type of primary school in my area I will withdraw my children from private school. First in history East of the Niger

Lol, first in history in Akwa Ibom my dear. There exists lots of public schools in Rivers and Anambra that look more or less like this. If you’re saying you can’t find such public schools in the South west or North, I will agree but SS and SE? No!

You need to travel and see.

Golan007:
Otti, see your life outside.

Ottih is far better than all your governors combined. What he has done and continues to do is beyond building just one school.

Pray to have a great man like Ottih as governor because his kind is very rare.

journalism is sadly dead. i had to go through three articles before i found what i was looking for




one year for malpractice resulting in death or a fine of 100k?

and dr adepoju is a straight up vixen

Is this the justice the foolish Babatunde Irukera was hyping about? This is rather injustice and a mockery.

Truly, journalism is dead in the country, just like most other things.

Spit!

Ugwuaji Road Reconstruction

What the hell, is that the dust bowl? The scenery looks like Dafur region🥱

Fubara na smart guy, dude now has both Ijaws, Igbos and Ogonis on his side. Where Wike want get support again take fight am?

Fubara will thoroughly humiliate him to the point he will be afraid to step foot into Rivers in the months to come.

Enskynelson:
That feud is making the governor unfocused, distracted.

Rivers people should back Fubara and stone Wike if he dares to bring his nuisance value to the state. That dude with his disgusting behavior irritates me.

You ruled for 8 good years, yet still wants to continue dictating affairs of the state. Is Rivers state a monarchy?

Wike is even supposed to be the “governor” of Abuja yet FCT is not enough for him. Did he bury his umbilical cord in the Brick House

How the hell do we keep tolerating all these rubbish for God’s sake?

dejonathan:
The feud amongst politicians will affect all what you claim to be worrying about too..
Na the state as a whole go dey more affected at the end of the day..

It will not affect anything. The reason why we keep having this issues in the first place is because most Nigerians are misguided. What the hell is a former governor still fighting for after completing his term of 8 years Do you think all these rubbish we keep tolerating in Nigeria happens in saner climes

Someone like the drunk called Wike ruled Rivers state for good 8 years, yet he wants to keep controlling the governor and by extension the state! That’s the height of greed and selfishness.

That’s why I like Igbos, such stupidity doesn’t happen in the East. You can ask those governors that tried it and how it ended for them.

The reconciliation of Wike and Fubara will bring nothing good to the state, but will rather worsen corruption. The people of Rivers should back Fubara and stone Wike if he dares to bring his stupidity to the state. He already has a task as minister of FCT, something akin to being a governor, yet the greedy drunk is not satisfied.

Spit!

Instead of worrying about poor infrastructure, corruption, hunger and other terrible problems bedeviling Nigeria, it’s feud between useless politicians that is your problem ??

SMH.

Pennilessword1:
Take up those ones offer..ABIKE WOULDN'T DO A THING!!! If you are Igbo, forget her. She only helps Yoruba people if she is going to help at all

You were absolutely right on the part that Abike Dabiri wouldn’t do anything. They never even bothered to respond to the mail.

Anyways, the issue has been resolved.
