IMF measured Nigeria's GDP, right?
So who measured the Lagos state GDP Ambode quoted?
Did he measure it by himself or what?
Please provide the link.
Thanks.

seguno2:
What % of Nigeria's GDP and foreign exchange earnings comes from Lagos state compared to oil?

You this despicable fagg0t from Wasteland, channel your negative energies towards consolidating OduaArewanistan republic with your Fulani masters...

Go and check your history very well the greatest kingdom and the longest life spanned kingdom to be recorded in Nigeria is in the eastern part of Nigeria. NRI kingdom comes to mind
Igbos with their brothers have fought wars like the ekumeku war... a little Google research would have helped your life..
Slave trade was a Nigeria problem irrespective of ethnic group... except Yorubas where sold to their Fulani masters up north...
Yeye dey smell
Why Is treachery, backstabbing and betrayal synonymous with Yorubas through out history and present?

LordAdam7:
Don't twist history.

From the account written above, the rebellion against the Alafin was clearly institutional. Had nothing to do with a noble aim to stop slave trade.

Rebellions happen all the time in those days, so no biggie. Princes dethrone kings.

But what the account tells is a chilling tale of how the Yoruba country in its might fell from grass to grace with the complicity of powerful Yorubas.

I think there is a fine line between personal ambition and national preservation. And many influential Yoruba people who had the power to change history were on the side of the invaders.

The Yorubas are a great people, but that recurring incidence of treachery doesn't leave a good taste in the mouth at all.

Cubeet:
Ibadan is the Worse place to live in Nigeria

Cubeet:
There are thousands and millions of Afonjas in SS and SE. What is this one saying.

Cubeet:
Apart from Lagos, nobody give a f*** about other states in your region.

Noneroone:
See them beating their chests over lagos.

Doesnt it bother yorubas that the only product of their supposedly hardwork is lagos. The same lagos that has been the capital of Nigeria since colonial times, the same lagos that has the been the headquarters of many corporate organisations like waec, ascon etc banks, oil companies, embassies, Igbo owned markets like Alaba, Balogun etc the same lagos where some key federal institutions have their headquarters. The same lagos whose seaport and airport through delibrate fed govt policies, robbed other seaports and airports of patronage.

They even boast of being liberal and crime free yet lagos crime record is worst in the country while UN declared the SE the best place to live.
The day Nigeria's dysfunctional politics of development removes the economic monopoly it places on lagos, it will fall back to the present ghost-mode status Ibadan enjoys notwithstanding its geographical location. If yorubas are peaceful why is lagos still their only city. Why does Igboland have the most modern, emmerging, flourishing cities in the country?

They know this thats why they
clutch desperately to 'one nigeria'

but their cup will soon full

Cubeet:
Can Lagos Survive without the Non indigenes?
IGR from where? Tax.

PentiiumProf:
The foreign investments coming into anambra state are in billions of dollars not naira
Gov obiano has attracted a foreign investment of over 4 billion dollars leading to an industrial explosion in my own words
More foreign investors are coming
When these industries and other commercial ventures come on stream more investors will come
The industries you see in Lagos and other parts of the country will either relocate to anambra or open another plant in anambra
Are you aware that anambra entered into an mou to build three three independent power plants
Can you imagine the massive growth anambra will record once the ipps become operational

post=51933047:
Still waiting since you want to compare your backward state to Anambra

post=51932547:
This is my state

post=51932172:
Please mention one thing in Ogun state that will make Anambra guy jealous the state

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Fg owes all states. .
Plus, non yoruba have more of the industries.
Reason your states and people remain backward.
The only developed parts of your lands are the ones with more non yoruba touch

The Committee chaired by Hon. Toby Okechukwu (Enugu PDP) and Hon. Babangida Ibrahim (Katsina APC) heard that Ogun state is leading the list with N222.9 billion.

Akwa Ibom is being owed N75.9 billion while Zamfara is being owed N57.9 billion.
Further breakdown of the debt showed that Anambra is being owed N43.427bn, Oyo, N32.93bn; Enugu, N25.930bn; Cross River, N25.701bn; Ebonyi, N21.85bn; Plateau, N19bn; Sokoto, N13.103bn and Kwara, N12.855bn.

post=51925435:
My friend shut up Ogun state is backward, majority of the the industries in Ogun are owned by non Yorubas, the reason why people by land its proximity to Lagos and land there are cheap and that's the only area developed in Ogun

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Igbo biz are part of the FDI.
We already control our economy and we are there in collaboration with other people to colonize you too.
Why did you people accumulate so much debt for nothing, you show for it, yet, you don't think you are bad economists.
Igbo states are not that indebted, except Imo that is learning from wacky socialism from the 97%

Zinox computers
Eko Hospital one of the best in Lagos (owned by 2 Igbo and 1 Yoruba)
innoson group.
ogbuawa motorcycle company.
Master energy.
Tonimas oil.

it is noteworthy to know that industries owned by igbos have directly aided Nigeria in one way or another. they are not just for profit by salvaging the nation at critical times.

It will be recalled that when world powers turned down Nigeria's cry for badly needed fighter jets parts innoson group rose to answer that call by providing Nigeria with jet parts and armored vehicles for Nigeria army's push against boko haram.

Zinox computers was instrumental in the production of thousands of computers and accessories used for the smooth running of the 2015 elections.

There are thousands of artisans in the commercial and industrial city of Aba doing great little Wonder the FG authorized the production of military boots for our gallant army by shoe producers in Aba.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
There is far more hunger in that Ogun than Ebonyi.
How many of the industries are yoruba owned? It's just a den for capital flight, that's why it doesn't reflect on the socioeconomic status in the populace.
Lagos was spared cos of the presence of non yoruba people there, the politicians too have mingled with non yoruba people.
Have you wondered why the economies of other SW people are just there. Debt upon debt for welfare with nothing to show for it.
Stop digressing and tell us why you can't manage economies

OBAFEMIawolowo:
telling you the truth doesn't make me Igbo, I also support Yoruba when necessary
