I want to embarrass you this morning, my archive is blazing hot.

Oh lest I forget, SE have OYEL abi?

Kikikikikikiki

Did you know that all of una oyel combine no even reach that of ondo state?

I dey come make I chill small ke

iaamxavier:
u talk abouhh companies? its only in Lagos the sw have compaines and hope u know the company are owned by people from different region esp the SE

going about to cocoa and other stuff it was back then they contributed to the economy buhh now? nothing u said u produce the highest igr? without the help of other region in Lagos where will u find the igr from at leaat no SW produces high igr" u talk abouhh SE import and export not contributing to Nigeria economy what do u think makes China Japan etc top country in the world do u think its from cocoa?

moving on to oyel the south west only have 2 states producing oil buhh the SE have four state produce oil now who's deceving who?

The question still remains what is the major thing the SW contributes?

I love to embarrass you Igbos a lot.

Now, according to the bolded I am going to burst you bubble but before I do. Could you please, I pray, prove your aba made stats you come up with up there?

Oya

iaamxavier:
I've been pondering for month what exactly the south west contribute to Nigeria's economy

**we know the North contributes a lot in terms of feeding,leather production and so much more!

**we know the SE contribute a lot in terms of commerce (import and export) business and so much more

**we know the SS contribute about 80% or more to Nigeria's economy in term of crude oil and other mineral resources

Now the big question is what is the major thing the south west contributes to Nigeria's economy ??

I'm talking about THE MAJOR THING!

I don't want to embarrass you hence I will take it easy with you :


[b]The GDP of the entire nation of Nigeria, the largest economy by far in Africa, currently is about N130 trillion naira(about $594 billion US dollars)(Wikipedia, list of African countries by GDP(nominal)). The Southwest, one of the six geopolitical regions of Nigeria, has an estimated GDP of about N67 trillion naira( about $305 billion US dollars), more than half of the GDP of the nation.

By my estimates, the Southwest region was the third largest economy in the continent of Africa n 2014! This must be a shock or a pleasant surprise to many people!

But the governors in the region have not adopted a robust revenue generating strategy to tap into the resource base of the region. Taxation of the poor and lower middle-class people is a bad strategy which does not reflect a global best practice. The poor have a greater propensity to spend than the rich, so a taxation of the poor is counter-productive as it eliminates the boost to the economy that their spending provides.

Taxation of the rich, middle-class, and upper middle-class, but not the poor, is a global best strategy to raise revenues for the operation of government, the provisioning of infrastructures, robust security apparatus, and social security services that benefit everyone: the rich, the poor, and the disadvantaged in society. Fortunately, there are millions of rich people living in the Southwest: naira millionaires, multi-millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires available to be taxed.

If the governors of the Southwest had adopted a comprehensive income taxation for revenue as their strategy in 2014, they could have raised N13 trillion naira from a progressive income tax range of 0% for the poor, to up to 30% for the rich: ten times more than the N1.3 trillion naira raised last year!

The combined budget-to-GDP ratio of the states in the Southwest in 2014 was abysmally low, about 2% compared to about 40% in many advanced nations of the world. For the sake of argument, a budget that is 40% of the GDP of the Southwest is approximately N25 trillion naira. This is about twice the budget realizable from using a progressive tax bracket of 0% to 30%.

If the enhanced income-tax-based revenues are spent appropriately, the Southwest will become a prosperous region with robust infrastructures, full employment, improved security, and a world-class social security service.

It is widely accepted (on nairaland) that many governors of the Southwest have reasonably performed well. If they had tapped the hidden resources of the region, their performance would have been elevated to outstanding and transformational! We wonder why policies that would have made a difference in the lives of the majority of the people, such as progressive income taxation, had not been vigorously pursued and implemented. Income taxation will also diminish godfatherism and empower the people while swelling the coffers of governments in the region.

With abundant revenues through income taxation, the Southwest will be in a position to stop accepting monthly oil revenue distributions from the center, but be able to partner with Abuja and other state governors in joint projects of mutual benefit that will drive the economic growth of the nation.

The question that must be asked of the governors of the Southwest is this, are they aware that the great book says, for whom much is given much is required?

So much has been given to the region by the grace of God. So much then is required of the Southwest governments. The governors in the Southwest have an obligation not only to take care of the welfare of their residents but to also drive the socio-economic growth of the nation.

In conclusion, to the people of the Southwest, the third largest economy in Africa, ask not what Abuja can do for you, but ask your governors to:

1. Tax the peoples' incomes, a global best practice, using a progressive tax rate from 0% to 30%.

2. Use the revenues from the income tax to fund government operations, build, monitor, and maintain physical, security, health, education, and research infrastructures, and to provide services and social security to the people. As he who pays the piper dictates the tune, politicians will be compelled by the income tax payers to shift their allegiance from godfathers to the people. This will end godfatherism as the dominant factor in politics in the Southwest.

3. Promote exports and the tourism industry.
4. Work cooperatively with the private industry, research and development centers, and the tertiary institutions in the region.

5. Promote regional integration through intra-regional partnerships and engage in mutually beneficial ventures with Abuja and other governors in other regions.

6. Stop accepting the monthly oil distributions from Abuja from 2016, as this is the root of corruption in Nigeria. To curb corruption in the Southwest and elsewhere in Nigeria requires pulling up the root of corruption in Nigeria by ending the shameful exploitation of the minorities in the oil producing states.[/b]

iaamxavier:
y aren't u guy answering the question face the question ahh!

I guess you are either naive or you know little or nothing of what's going on yet abi?

I don warned you sha

OK, let's see before I deal with you with facts, what region are you from bro

SE?
Don't be shy Oya tell me!

This topic has been over flogged.

Op, I want to employ you to run asap, don't start what you can't finish lest SE will not only be embarrassed with facts but the reality of her little or no contribution to the nation gdp.

I don Wan U ooo

Wetin una fit do

jagorinho:
guy, check my 1st post here, i quoted "evansvenus" when he made dat statement and u started quoting me afterwards, u can see d guy's post on d 2nd page. Am here just to correct dat statement, nothing more!!!! peace.

Perhaps I quoted the wrong person or you misinterpreted my comment.
It's OK.

jagorinho:
hey!! dont play d emotion card here,and i wasnt referring to any stat from d article above....in simple words all am saying is, it is uncalled for to say for every 1 yoruba in owerri there are 10000 ibos in ibadan

When did I said/wrote that?

Infact, you actually got it wrong.
Please quote where, in any of my comments I wrote that.

Waiting..

jagorinho:
honestly, i dnt have problem with u, nt even with the matured responses u gave to my mentions, but u must admit dat d ratio is out of place, dats just my point, there are differences between a region, state and a city. dat ratio cant just work comparing two cities....have a good day.

The stats was purely Base on regional calculation/figure.
What ratio, what else do you want?


Infact the stats only proved and re-firmed the the poverty index as provided by me above.

You should ask yourself, why and how these figures tally with each others taking into consideration the poverty index by these foreign organisations plus this one?

This is a simple as ABC stop been emotional there's nothing you can do to distort or twist the facts.

pulsa:
so you guys have started adding Ogun state now right.

My brother, me sef I dey wait for them to chjoin IBadan sef

chemystery:
Oh.....see him running away from the initial argument.
Oya go uproot JAMB regional statistic also make we see.
After that uproot another one on birth and death rate by region too.
I will also like to see regional statistics by WHO on industrial polution.
I thought you came with points.
Quote me if you want to discuss about the initial topic, else go sleep cos you lack points

And what has jamb or whatever you call got to do with these?

Jesuiiii this dude..been wasting my time.
Abeg, go through these and cure you curiosity.

Should these stats confirm what the Op put up there?

Oya hold am jar'e

jagorinho:
guy i dnt want to venture into this tribal jibes, it is not my line,bt what i wont take is distortion of facts, u cant just say for every 1 yoruba in owerri, there are 10000 ibos in ibadan,it seems u dnt knw d severity of dat statement, for every 300 yorubas in owerri, there are 3 million ibos in ibadan....U SEF REASON AM NOW, U SEE SAY E NO FOLLOW,it's even more than the exodus of the hutu people to dr congo in1994.

Dude, do I look like I am arguing blinding or threading the path of tribal-ish? Do i?
Now, let me ask you a simply question :

Should we because there are millions of ibos in SW void their impact/existence in their (own) land/region just so we can make ibo people happy?

Dude, ain't there millions of ibos all over the country, in the north et al. Now how come their impact wasn't felt much according to the Op above? that should even tell you that SW is indeed blessed sef

Abeg take am easy jor

jagorinho:
you can underestimate the population of igbos in southwest..lagos most especially..for every yoruba person you find in owerri,ten thousand igbos are already in ibadan.

i dont knw why people find it easy to just come online and spew thrash,all in d name of defending ur ethnict line, am very familiar with ibadan, and by your logic it means for every 5 yorubas in owerri, there are 50,000 in ibadan, just listen to yourself!!!

Guy, there are as 3times of ibos in Aba,onitsha,imo et al than what we have in Ibadan,lagos and SW respectively.

Now, the question is, why can't these millions of ibos in the whole aba,imo(the north exclusively) et al beat the top 3states on the Op list respectively?
Ha han nah

Like I said earlier on, You can't give what you don't have..without your various states.

chemystery:
In summary, you are asking me that if you have 10naira, your brother has 12naira and I have 20naira, Mr. A has 6naira. I lend you and your brother 5naira each while A lends you and your brother 2 naira each. You now have 17naira, your brother 19naira, me 10naira and Mr. A 2naira. Why then am i not richer than either you or your brother?
Oya make una bring my money back see. kikikikikikikikiki

Let me leave you with that

Let do away with this pathetically figures.
Note : what you put up there were merely assumption ain't they?

Now let me add to the Op above,and ofcourse note that they weren't pulled out of thin air neither were they assumption like what you put up there,right?

Here, I hope you will relax and understand where I am going this time?
This goes to all the doubting Thomas abag, I no fit shout

Sources
The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index by the U.N
http://www.dataforall.org/dashboard/ophi/index.php/


THIS IS FROM WORLD BANK
The NER also documents major differences in poverty and living standards by macro-region in Nigeria. While the South of Nigeria has relatively low poverty rates, ranging from 16% in the South West to 28.8% in the South East, poverty rates in the North West and North East are 45.9% and 50.2%, respectively. While the South of Nigeria (especially the South West) has experienced a strong positive dynamic in poverty reduction in recent years, the poverty rate in the North West has remained stagnant, while poverty has actually increased in the North East. Thus, disparities between the North (North West, North East) and South of Nigeria in poverty and living standards have increased. This is no doubt related to the recent security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria. Explanatory factors for the high differences in living standards by geographical region are likely related to differences in the provision of public services and the degree of connectedness to larger markets.

NER MEANS NIGERIA ECONOMIC REPORT..maybe it is a Yoruba man that owns it...

Poverty was least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%).

papparatzzi2013:
DO you need glasses.

Your top 3 states figures cannot even march the combo of Ogun and Oyo minus Lagos.

Owliver:
hehehehe bros calm down. you no need all these things. if you were in their psition you'd probably brag like the do. after all this bragging food no go enter anybody belle. the real fight is against rich and poor not between different tribes.

so save yourself the stress.

nice pics by the way

My guy leave that crying baby/pained guy abeg.
I guess he's caught unaware

Heheheheheh the dude is even uploading one yeye pixs to pull out his own stats

Kikikikikikik

Dollyak:
This is why I get mad at the massive injustice going on in Nigeria. SW is getting a lot less allocation than they are contributing to the country. This data isn't a surprise to be honest. The biggest injustice still is how OYO by a fraudulent justification of less populations than Northern states gets a lot less allocation than both Kano and KADUNA, despite having similar or slightly less population than KANO.

My sister God bless you jar'e

Na so we see am..

papparatzzi2013:
This confirms what we have always been saying. SW alone is controlling almost 30% of internet penetration of the entire country.

SW is simply blessed. Haters can only hate and envious, they can NEVER match up..

I thought taking into consideration the poverty stats of each region and SW being ahead the rest in terms of wealth distribution would prove this info/stats,accurate.

Here : https://www.nairaland.com/2956359/igbos-one-advantage-over-other/9

Once again,God bless SW the more..

discusant:
Lol, what purchasing power does the man/woman in Okitipupa, Owo, Ikare, Iseyin, Shaki, Modakeke and the mostly underdeveloped internal of southwest region posses more than others?
Lagos and Ogun the two neighbors in the SW with many strangers merely boosted the SW figure.

You people can be funny.

Let me ask you this simply question : are these call card/credit free?
Those people you call villagers or whatever whatever farmers and doing well financially.
You should ask yourself why was Osun and Co beat 2 to 3 SE states?
I will say it again, you can't give what you don't have.

So, if Oyo and Ogun respective beats 3 SE,ner states what does that tell you about SW region?

You guys are just sad hence has refused to acknowledge the truth out of hatred and envy.

chemystery:
The guy i quoted was talking about population, same as you. But then i don't expect SE to beat SW when the whole Nigeria (Majorly Igbos) are in Lagos and Ogun State. SW is only bearing the glory of immigrants.

Hahahahahaha

You should include OYO too shouldn't you?
Guy you funny die no be small.

So, out of 5 states in the SE none couldn't beat or overpowered these 3 SW states? Ain't there millions of ibos in the north,SS et al as well?
Funny dude!
Atleast SE/ibos should prove us wrong by replicating what they claim or try to take glory for in the various states.
Charity, they say, begins at home..

I guess you didn't get my point.

Ok,let me leave you with this quote : You can't give what you don't have" without your states.

chemystery:
Yes, a hardworking man does not stay at home. His statistics counts at his place of work.

Stop beating your chest over statistical figures that constitutes over 50% of foreigners.

Everyone knows that for every 1 Yoruba man in SE, there are 10,000 Igbo men in SW.

Respect to all hardworking Igbos all over the world.

Mtchew.
We are talking about purchasing power this one is yapping about population.
And so what,so what happened to ogun state, Oyo that beat the rest of SE states?
You should ask yourself this question, if SE as a whole couldn't beat SW as a whole what make you think that the few populace of Ibos in SW would have any significance after all?

Use you head nah

It's simpl as a ABC

Chukazu:
and who is interested in having kids you can't take care of in the South East just to increase revenue sharing from Abuja?
sorry we aren't desperate for such..we are not much but we make the most impact

And what exactly is the impact you make the "most" according to you



Yeye dey smell. I dey wait

boujaye:
how does the info Epp

Will leave you with this, from the OP :

It is me, Scholes0, your resident nairaland statistician, and here are some new interesting information from the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics for your Consumption and planning. This info can help business owners, web marketers, telemarketers, etc know how to plan, and focus on their target Networks, Regions and Audiences. Enjoy.

God bless ya OP.
What a valuable information.

God bless SW

God bless ya OP.
What a valuable information.

Ikechu68:
See am pain. No wonder I got banned. Won't be surprised it is your misreable ass went crying to your daddy mod to ban ne. Shameless thing.

Oh why I know this is NOT the correct story. I've already destroy the useless story and asked for explanation of why that happened in that story but yet does not happen anywhere in the world. A question you avoided answering like a plague. In addition the story came directly from the Yoloba Agberos. While the one from the blog came directly from none of the group fighting ( aka yoruba Agberos or Igbo traders) and he's also yoruba

Who's likely the tell the truth...the fighters or a neutral eye witness? Exactly.

I didn't have to report you poor thing-You actually deserved that ban (even more) with the way you unleaches your uncontrollable anger and curses

Awww boobooo, Eyah poor thing!

Oya hold am....
Oya Oya hold the boi..
Boooo booooo

Ikechu12781:
See am. Pain dey choke this one.

Heya aaaa.

Yeye dey smell.

If you like insult ya papa,mama join that won't stop me.

Pain like what the f+ck,you kidding right,isnt it obvious you are the pained one here hence resulted to calling you mama/papa out like akpu

Yeye boi

Tarrh comot for here you are too emotional to handle sef



Anyway, make I leave you with this quote :

And How did you know this is the correct version to the story. In journalism you try to get the two faction's account before going to the press. You dont judge a matter with one party's account. At the end of the day you get a biased and sentimental report when you do

Ikechu12781:
Blah blah blah, cry cry cry is all I saw up there. Shut up and go whine to your mama.

You telling to shut up? Hahahahaha
Ibo man telling to shut up..
