Allow me to define infrastructure for you.

infrastructure
/ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə/

the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.

There are social and economic infrastructures.

Rivers has 2 of Nigeria's 4 Refineries.
Rivers has 2 Seaports, 2 Airports, Nigeria's only LNG facilities. Rivers host Nigeria only petrochemical plant. Rivers host a plethora of oil and gas companies. These are economic infrastructures found nowhere in Ogun, Oyo and Lagos. Riverians aren't disposed to bragging, but Ogun and Oyo does not have Rivers money. We are not on same level. Keep your dragging ability for those from Anambra that have guys time. At least the IGR does not lie.

ajl:
Lagos IGR is lower than Rivers because Tinubu has taken his own huge cut.

Cut the crap dude, you're only decieving yourself. Are there jobs in Ekiti, Oyo, Osun etc? What sort of jobs exactly? Teaching, taxi driving or agbo hawking?

Where are the jobs in Nigeria presently, even in Lagos? At least we Igbos have a fall back position which is business!

Economics expansion

BastardWike:
Ignorance has really finished you all in the SW. I have seen lots of Filipinos hawking phones and perfumes in the streets of Nigeria, does it now mean that Nigeria is more beautiful or developed than Philippines? I have seen lots of Indians selling or doing jobs in Nigeria same as the Chinese and Lebanese, does it now mean that Nigeria is more developed or beautiful than China, India or Lebanon?

If you're educated, you will know that there are different reasons why people migrate and one of such reasons could be to have comparative advantage or to face less competition. Igbos coming to the SW are mostly people coming to do business same way you see them in remote Northern villages or even as far as Mali. It doesn't mean that those places are more developed than Igboland, their primary motivation for going there isn't to go and enjoy amenities but to provide certain services they believe they have comparative advantage on and earn from it. The only reason why Yorubas are not in large numbers in the East is simply because they have no comparative advantage that would make them to thrive there. That is why you see lots of Yoruba women and girls loitering all over our roads, streets and motor parks selling that concotion you call agbo. You also see your men ridiculously going about aimlessly with plastic bottles trying to scam people in the name of selling herbs to them. Here in Owerri, an average 3 bedroom flat is 500,000 while in Oshogbo it is way cheaper and there are lots of mud houses where your people can live and pay next to nothing. These are the factors that force your people to remain in their villages while your villages and towns remain stagnated. Have you asked yourself why there is very little or no changes at all in your towns and villages while Igbo towns and villages keep developing over the years?

Lastly, I can see that you all are pained to your bone marrow that Igbos are everywhere, including remote places collecting your "widow's might" through business while you can't stop them. Your frustration is just starting, because as long as Nigeria remains one country, we Igbos will continue to match into every town or village in our numbers regardless of your sentiments while you continue to cry and gnash your teeth.

Primitive and uneducated people who claim to be sophisticated, do you know how stupid and foolish it sounds to ask a native Michigan man why he is going to New Jersey to do business or a Portsmouth man why he is going to live in Liverpool instead of remaining in his own region of birth. Would you ask a Kwazulu Natal man why he is going to Cape Town to do business when he is not a native?

Cry us a river but Igbos will continue going wherever they want within the borders of this country and AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!

Jashub:
Challenge me as how? Please this is not a pissing contest o. I am only stating hard facts which a lot of yorubas here continue denying. And please get this straight, I am also yoruba. Born and bred from Ekiti state(Ayede to be precise).

Jashub:
Take away the seaport and Lagos will crumble. You know this but continue to live in denial. Come to think of it, are the Igbos not the ones bringing in their goods from overseas? Is the tax generated from levies impose on them not responsible for the bulk of the revenue generated by Lagos? Mtchww. Talk with sense abeg
