Mr Obi really missed being president.

ElevationD:
You wey dey forward, how far now?

We are futhering our being forward.
It is only SWesterners that have businesses that are more than 100 years while SEsterners cannot even boast of one of 45 years.

Swesterners also have multiple multi billion and multi million dollars businesses abroad while Sesterners cannot boast of any tangible one.

gidgiddy:
This talk about Ogun State IGR having a bigger IGR than the South East should actually be a source of embarrassment for Ogun State

For years, they have said that Ogun State has a bigger IGR than the South East, the question I ask is, where is the commensurate development? Why is Abeokuta the way it is? Where is this IGR going to?

Anambra has three cities, Onitsha, Awka Nnewi, what does Ogun State have? Is it Abeokuta that is not even on the level of Onitsha?

You can have an IGR as big as my head, but if you have no development of worthy note, you have nothing.

Everybody knows that Ogun state is more developed and has more infrastructures than Anambra and Imo states combined.
Keep posting the part of Onitsha built by Igala,Benin cum descendants of Yorubas even if that Onitsha is just 52sq km.

Okpoko is where Igbos built.

mrvitalis:
Not really

Revenue /debt service+recurrent expenditure is what determine how viable a state is

If a state finds a way to function without taxing her people what's wrong with that

IGR also depicts revenue.
There is no nation or subnational in the world that doesnt take tax.
The ability to collect it effectively is what makes a state stand out.

mrvitalis:
Nations don't use FAAC oga that's a Nigerians abnormality

IGR signifies the ability of a state to exist without relying on any other entity.

Quest7777:
Give an Igbo man opportunity to manage the resources of Nigeria and watch the country blossom to become London of Africa.

Jokes apart, if everything is done on Merit in Nigeria, Igbos will take driving seat in most sectors of this country. 👍

Stop the deceit.
During regionalism,Igbos were backward.

Nonny95:
Nigerian man, Kingsley Ogbuji prompted to Major in the US Army.

He hails from Ezza, Ebonyi state.

Congratulations to him!

Great.
Why do you like posting news without source nah.
Put source for it to go to Front Page.

mrvitalis:
Countries not sub national

Country is a govt while subnational too is a govt.
Just as gdp is used for a nation so do we use it for subnational.
IGR signifies the ability of a state to exist without relying wholly on FAAC.

Great

This Ibeto was once a very rich man.
What happened?
Truly,no condition is permanent.

Kingsmeal:

Great feat.
Put source.

Ojukwu, with the balls of a real man, released your leader after days of profuse wailing/grief of your people. He brought joy & happines to your people - Great moment, A joyful time, a glorious era to be alive as an Awolowo people. Such a blissful momemt in SW.
.
Now, a time to replicate such gesture has arrived and they chickend out, afraid of distorting their master's will as a typical Awolowo descendant, even when in posses of the reing their master left them to taste small.

Continue to deceive yourself.
Everybody knows that it was Gowon that released Awolowo not Miss Ojuku,the lily livered,Ivorian pilgrimage.
It is on youtube.

Because Nigeria will be like USA,better and richer than any African nation..

santaclaws:
Nibo loti ri omo Igbo? Oponu ni e. 😏

Omo Ibo werey.
Igbos have always and will always be babies to Yoruba in business.
Yorubas are the only ones that have businesses that are more than 100,90,80 years.
Ibos do not have any business that is up to 39,40 years.They always destroy their businesses with incompetence and laziness.

Ibos do not have any real business abroad but I can name 10 Yoruba businesses abroad that are worth millions,billions of dollars and still kicking.

Just like Yorubas are the richest Nigerians at home,so are they the richest and most successful Nigerians abroad.

Stop making jokes of the Ibos,please.

Terrahawk:
Onwards and upwards for Yorubaland with progress and prosperity. God bless.
Yorubaland flag.

This is a beautiful flag not that one with a head that looks diabolical
Dont know who designed it.

santaclaws:
Hope it's not to be shared among APC members

Mass housing that you guys do but won't consider your own Lagos state government staff first. How many teachers in Lagos can afford this apartment based on their Lagos govt salary? Keep deceiving yourselves.

The Yorubas who are supposed to vote for you are now forced to live in Ogun state cos you won't provide affordable housing, not even for your own staff. But when it's time for election, you tell the few Yorubas remaining in Lagos to "ronu" and vote for another Tinubu stooge.

Igbos will find a way to pay rent, so when their population increases in Lagos, don't come online to cry for votes or blackmail Yoruba people for votes cos most of them are now relocating to Ogun state for cheaper accommodation.

lol
Another Ojuku.

Your evil thought about the Yorubas is what killed your ancestors.It will destroy you too.

Yorubas own Lagos,Ogun,Ekiti etc.
They live anywhere they like in Yorubaland and will continue to use Igbos as their slaves to develop even their forests when they deem fit.

MrEverest:
I don laugh tire😆😆
Nigerians no get joy abeg😂😂😂

The guy is obviously a scammer. He doesn’t even look like someone who has seen cool $100k in block, but here he is talking about online auctioning of vehicles with seed capital of $100 million 😂😂

Yorubas should go and learn from Igbos on how to open genuine businesses.

lol
You sound ignorant and unexposed.
Name one business that Igbos have abroad.
None.
They are lazy and incompetent when talking about genuine business.They mostly do 'powder' abroad.
I can name 10 businesses owned by Yorubas abroad.

Yorubas are the only people that are stubbornly resilient in business and have businesses spaning more than 100,90,80 years.
Igbos dont have any business that is up to 40 years or more.
Their businesses always crumble after a while.

Yorubas are the ones that can teach Igbos genuine business not the other way round.
What does an expert want to learn from a novice?

The problem with the Igbos is covetousness,greediness wrapped with grave delusion.
Yorubas have always been their big brothers,always spreading a hand of help.

Thewrath:
Igbos and laziness cannot be in same sentence,you can’t make it in your very own backyard others outsiders are coming to make it!!! leave your huts and travel,explore the level playing ground!! Come back when you survive .
Better still fight for your win country and have your eldorado.

lol
Name one business in the SW and even your SE that Yorubas dont have worthy ones more than any Igbo dead or alive or are you saying that selling in the traffic means making it?

Name one business in the SE and I will name Yoruba business there that is worth more in that your SE.p

Yorubas having the biggest mall in your region which you all are running away from shows business savviness and resilience on the part of the Yorubas not Igbos selling chewing sticks in SW traffic.

Igbos are lazy and incompetent because they kill their businesses after a little period and they dont have a tangible business abroad like the business savvy and smart working Yorubas who have many.

Tope Awotona,who is the richest Nigerian in USA according to Forbes is a testament to the industriousness of the Yorubas.

Igbos mostly carry drugs abroad because they are lazy.
If Igbos are not lazy and incompetent,name one business they have been able to nurture for up to 39,40,50 years without crumbling.

Revealpanda:
ShopRite is South African.

I don't know about the rest.... I've definitely seen sweet sensation and chicken republic in SE

All Shoprites in Nigeria were bought by a Nigerian (Tayo Amusan) and its franchise.

Happy ending..

Revealpanda:
Igbo people are suffering from generational c*rses wallaih Tallaih

The more you're against them the more they keep doing rubbish... You go about building things in the place of people who won't waste an opportunity to call you a tribalist, dot nation, IPOB, Drug traffickers

Other day na Obi Cubana erect factory in the place where they label his people tribalist with 2 by 2 shop.

Naw na this one building football pitch.


You can never find even an eatery in the East built by the sophisticated ones.


Una head go soon correct idiat

As for eatries...
Chicken Republic,Sweet Sensation,Tantalizers,Addide,Shoprites etc are owned by Yorubas and they are all over the SE.
Even the biggest mall in the SE,Polo Mall in Enugu was built by Tayo Amusan,a Yoruba man.
Yorubas just dont make noise.

Thewrath:
All these gebrish and SW without Lagos is still wretched..only a handful of yorubas as actually successful for a people who didn’t loose their investments to war,what do you have to show for the reason for decades of infrastructural degradation in the SW? Nothing,even awolowo’s free education amounted to absolutely nothing..

Your pain and envy is why the igbos refused to stay stay down but rose up again,far above your expectations…

The resilience of an igbo man is beyond your comprehension,go back to your history books and your ancestors!

We achieved all these with just £20.

Comical.
You had only huts and hamlets even before the war.Name what you had or show images of your prosperity.

You should thank the war for what you have now.
You have always been backward even with your been in power with the North for decades.

Your £20 talk is stale because 5% of people who used banks at that time doesnt translate to all Igbos.

Lazy and incompetent people like you always have excuses for their shortcoming and failure.

Yorubas were in opposition,they were discriminated against by you Igbos and the North then but they still came up as the richest,progressive and most successful.
Igbos are lazy and incompetent.
Laziness is a disease.

Thewrath:
Tell that to the Chinese that are all over the world doing business,that’s why you guys envy igbos,you lack the Versatility and drive to leave your shrines and hurts in iragbiji and explore for greener pastures….that’s why when you see other people in SW,to you it looks like their region is empty….apart from Lagos which even you osun migrants rush to,is there any other state that is infra-structurally more developed than the SE?

You guys are not business oriented like the igbos,that’s why it’s hurts and surprises you when igbos succeed m,even right at your own backyard!

Any small thing “yorubaland”,”our region”(inside this one Nigeria? You must be joking).
if you so desire to have your region then push for regionalism or outright separation and enjoy your eldorado,ALONE..what are you so scared of.

lol
Chinese are not in the SW begging for alms or running through the traffic selling chewing sticks.

lol
Igbos have always and will always be babies to Yoruba in business.
Yorubas are the only ones that have businesses that are more than 100,90,80 years.

Top 10 Weakest Currencies In The World In 2024

Capital at Risk. All investments carry a varying degree of risk and it’s important you understand the nature of the risks involved. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you put in. Read More

The US dollar is the world’s most traded currency even if, strictly speaking, it’s not the globe’s strongest currency – those bragging rights currently go to the Kuwaiti dinar.

That said, the ‘greenback’ is near the top of the 180 or so traditional ‘fiat’ currencies recognised as legal tender around the world.

At the opposite end of the scale, the weakest currencies trade at tiny fractions of a US dollar. Some require tens of thousands of units to buy just $1.

Here’s a look at the top 10 weakest currencies in the world, based on their relative value against the dollar.

We’ve listed the weakest currencies (along with their accepted currency symbol), based on the number of units of foreign currency received in exchange for one US dollar. The exchange rates (as at 12 June 2024) are sourced from our currency converter, which is based on data from Open Exchange.

1. Lebanese pound (LBP)
The Lebanese pound is currently, by some margin, the weakest currency in the world when measured against the US dollar. One Lebanese pound buys $0.000011. Put another way, this means that $1 is worth 89,578 Lebanese pounds.


Lebanon borders the Mediterranean Sea, as well as Israel and Syria in the Middle East. The country has a service-based economy and also exports precious stones, metals, chemical products and food and drinks.

The Lebanese pound has been under pressure against the US dollar for several years thanks to a depressed economy, high inflation and unemployment, a banking crisis and political unrest.

2. Iranian rial (IRR)
According to our currency converter, one Iranian rial is currently worth $0.000024, which means $1 would buy 42,087 Iranian rials.

The Iranian rial was first introduced in the late 1700s. The currency has more or less remained at its present exchange rate with the dollar for several years.

Iran is located on the Persian Gulf between Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a leading global exporter of oil and natural gas, but economic sanctions have put pressure on the country’s currency.


Earlier this year, Iran’s president, Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash.

3. Vietnamese dong (VND)
The Vietnamese dong comes third on our list, with each unit of the currency being able to buy $0.000039. This means $1 could buy 25,442 Vietnamese dong.

Vietnam borders the South China Sea, with China, Laos, and Cambodia as neighbours. Services account for the largest proportion of the country’s gross domestic product, effectively a measure of a nation’s economic output, followed by industries such as electronics, energy and textiles.

The country’s currency’s has been weighed down by restrictions on foreign exports and a recent slowdown in exports, coupled with a sustained period of rising and high interest rates in the US.

4. Laotian kip (LAK)
The Laotian, or Lao, kip was introduced in the 1950s and comes in as the fourth weakest currency with 1 kip the monetary equivalent of $0.000046. That makes $1 worth the same as 21,705 kip.


Laos is a land-locked country bordered by Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and China. It relies heavily on exports such as copper, gold and timber.

The country has been hit by sluggish economic growth, rising foreign debt and high inflation, each of which has conspired to put pressure on Laos’s currency.

5. Sierra Leonean leone (SLL)
Introduced in 1964, one unit of the Sierra Leonean national currency buys $0.000048. This makes $1 the equivalent of 20,969 leone.

Sierra Leone is located in West Africa and borders both Guinea and Liberia. Key exports include timber and minerals such as diamonds, gold and industrial metals.

The value of the leone has been dragged down by high inflation levels, along with significant debt, a slowdown in economic growth and the long-term effects from the virulent Ebola virus outbreak.

6. Indonesian rupiah (IDR)
Indonesia’s national currency was introduced in 1946. One rupiah is currently worth $ 0.000061, which means $1 could buy the equivalent of 16,301 rupiah.

Indonesia comprises over 17,000 islands in the Pacific, including Java, Sumatra, and parts of Borneo and New Guinea.

In GDP terms, the country is the largest in south-east Asia mainly thanks to its services sector. Indonesia is also commodity-rich, but its national currency has tumbled when compared with others due to a combination of high inflation and recessionary fears.

7. Uzbekistan som (UZS)
The som was introduced in 1993 and one unit of Uzbekistan’s national currency currently buys $0.000079. Put another way, $1 is the equivalent of 12,640 som.

Located in central Asia, Uzbekistan is a former republic of the Soviet Union. It is one of the world’s leading cotton exporters and has substantial mineral and oil and gas reserves.

The country has implemented economic reforms, but it continues to struggle with low economic growth, high inflation and unemployment and corruption.

8. Guinean franc (GNF)
The Guinean franc was introduced in 1959 and today is worth $0.000116. That makes $1 worth 8,614 Guinea francs.

Guinea is a former French colony in sub-Saharan Africa. It has an abundance of natural resources such as gold and diamonds, but has struggled with high inflation, military unrest and an influx of refugees from neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone.


9. Paraguayan guarani (PYG)
First introduced in 1952, the Paraguayan guarani currently buys $0.000133 making $1 worth 7,528 guarani.

Paraguay is landlocked, bordering Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia. The country is a leading producer of soybean, the sugar substitute sevia, beef and maize.

The currency has been under pressure from high inflation, corruption, and counterfeit currency.

10. Malagasy ariary (MGA)
Introduced in 1961, the Malagasy ariary is the currency of Madagascar having formally replaced the franc in 2005. One ariary is currently worth $0.000225, making a dollar worth 4,454 ariary.

Madagascar is an island country lying off the south-eastern coast of Africa. Agriculture, including the growing of raffia, mining, fishing and forestry are the main elements of the country’s economy. Top exports include vanilla, nickel metal and cloves.

Which growth of SW? Apart from Lagos which was built with by Nigeria,which other SW state is doing well,infrastructurally,living indexes etc…anyway that’s talk for another day..

With all your “growth” why are you still scared of being alone?

Olodo.
Ibadan was the most developed and prosperous place in Nigeria during regionalism not even Yorubas Lagos.
The foolish colonialists only developed where they stayed minimally.
It was Ibadan that gave you Igbos,TV,Radio,Newspaper etc just to make you come out of your primitiveness not Yorubas Lagos.

As for fearing to live alone.
Is it the Yorubas that are afraid to live in their region and fleeing in millions to the SW?
No,it is the lily livered Igbos.
Some of your people left Igboland to come and beg for alms and hawk chewing sticks in the traffic of the SW.
Yorubas have always been a proud people who are proudly independent,progressive and resilient.

Thewrath:
Inconsequential,yet you fought for 3 years just to keep them? What stops you from ruling yourselves? Is it because you are incompatible without the igbos?
See,we smell the envy and bitterness of you iragbijis from miles away!!!

What did you do when you were given a level playing field during regionalism?
You were still a kind of failure fleeing to the SW just like you are doing today until envy blinded Aguiyi Ironsi.
He stopped the growth of Nigeria thinking that he has stopped the exponential growth of the SW with his decree 34 unitary system of govt.
