India, China, USA are more populous than Nigeria but still experiencing economic growth relative to Nigeria.

That's because they've maximized their available resources to take care of their population which is growing moderately not exponentially

I keep saying this. This country is too populated to ensure economic prosperity, that's the reason we experience multi-dimensional poverty of epic proportions.
Europe, Antarctica and other continents are seeing reductions in their population which are fuelling growth and prosperity in a sustainable environment while Africa as a continent is the singular highest contributor to the world's population. That's the major cause for migration to other less populated continents simply because we are too populated for the limited resources to go round.

When the lord sets you free from a slut, you start progressing in all folds.

Congrats sir.

Epic comment mehn

Frod my guy. Make sure you knack Esther's fine ass if you still need me and my guy's votes

I have always known that the embedded Power Generation is d ideal way to ensure the energy in Nigeria. Lagos was doing something like this when Fashola was in charge. I wonder what happened

SouthSouth1914:
So what you are saying is. Someone should get GLO, MTN, AIRTEL subscription in place if he/she really want to access the internet??

Me too I tire for the analysis. Very simple question: ' Which is the best network for internet services' na him my guy begin to dey rap grammar.

Airtel is the President
MTN is the Vice President
9Mobile is the Secretary
Glo that one na 'Office Assitant'

If you know, you know

As an Igbo man, I will rather go into drug, crime, fraud, ritual, selling of fake tins. it is better than begging & borrowing money to start a business

we are d most hardworking people in Nigeria & nobody understands how we succeed in business. we are scattered across every corner of d world. Go to Mozambique, we are d only spare parts sellers in that country. you will never know our secret. deal with it ok

You are the biggest fool I've come across. You are such a fool for bringing to disrepute the Igbo ethnic group. Just take a good look at your comment and tell me why other ethnic groups won't see us a bad light. It's also the reason why our brothers are languishing away in South Africa and other Asian countries.
Stupid fool. Do you think to be hard-working means you have to do a crime??

All because of the ass she promised you. Things foolish men do for ass is mind blogging

Felixamos:
OK first off, for those of us that managed to read through that long writeup, well done.
If I understood correctly, shouldn't this guy be ashamed of himself? So instead of making a speech to break godfatherism that has kept this great Nation in the mud it is, he is making a speech to encourage it? Isn't this clear evidence that our votes don't count?... So if Ambode had known he would have gone back to beg tinubu telling him that he would give him anything he wants once he's given a second tenure? Such a useless fool he is... So the approval of just one damn old man should now be prioritized over thousands of Lagosians seeking better governance?... Such a senseless being...
That's why I can "never" waste my time to go vote anyone... Not with this nonsense happening.

How could anyone with an iota of sense say this;
So, what Abode should have done was to have gone to his principal to say, oga, anything you do, we are going into this second term together, give me my second term and I will give you everything you want’... The bolded is so annoying... Such a fool...
Lagosians should be the ones to make that call not some old greedy man and his gang!

That's why this country is such a 'shithole' abnormal things are so normal while the normal things become abnormal

I just pray that guy remains the focus. He's sure gonna have a bright future unlike one okpoko in Leicester city still fooling himself. If you know, you know

candidtalk:
Folks, done messing around with TundeOlodoBricklayer, Obiano and Igbo folks anti-SW obduracy in general. Let us do real statistics. Below is the top investment destination in Nigeria in the first half of 2018. Lagos takes 26%, equaling $11.9 billion, with Anambra and all other States attracting only $2.7 billion or 6% of the investment coming into Nigeria so we must ask what grade of crack Obiano and TundeBricklayer are on to even be comparing Anambra with Lagos?

Mind you even the 36% of Rivers and 26% of Bayelsa stems from the fact that mining and quarrying, not an endowment of Lagos as is the case with Rivers and Bayelsa, accounted for 61% of the total investment and manufacturing, 28%, transportation & storage 5%, real estate 3% and the remaining sectors accounting for 3%. A smart person will quickly deduce that Lagos is punching far above its weight and will outstrip others in future when investing in oil and gas begins to plummet as the world moves away from fossil fuel in favor of 'cleaner' energy. Interesting that Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta folks are not even bragging yet Anambra man is the biggest and emptiest chest-beater.

Going by the official figures below, even as I know Igbos don't do reality, can any sane person claim Anambra is even 200 years close to overcoming Lagos as an investment destination or is this just another dumb statement from those obsessed with comparing d.icks with the Yorubas/SW daily and 24/7?

https://www.pulse.ng/bi/finance/finance-these-are-the-top-investment-destination-in-nigeria-in-the-first-half-of-2018/lbd9t47


These are the top investment destination by states in the first half of 2018.:

1. Rivers $16 billion 36%

2. Bayelsa $12 billion 26%

3. Lagos $11.9 billion 26%

4. Delta $3.1 billion 7%

5. Other states $2.7 billion 6%

I won't lie. You are truly correct. I'm from Anambra too and I hate the way some of my people here in nairaland Bragg a lot. It's very distasteful. Our lack of humility is costing us a lot but we seem not to be aware of it

gwafaeziokwu:
The kind of investments pouring into Anambra state is scary. If the momentum is maintained then I don't see why they won't give Lagos a run for their money. Healthy competition is good for our economy and I appreciate his humility.

My guy stop deceiving yourself. Purewater investment is no investment

horsepower101:
I have no doubt that it will happen sooner than later.

There so many private investments coming into the state that doesn’t even make the news.

The expansion of the service sector in the state according to NBS data is very impressive.

The only thing holding Anambra back is Gas supply to powerful industrialization but that will change soon once the nestoil gas pipeline is completed. It’s already 90% complete.

You are allowed to deceive yourself. Nothing special is happening in Anambra state. It's just like any other normal state.

GreenWhiteGreen:
So what use is of this news? Just asking.

I swear you are funny. You should know to understand that ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) is more like a mutual fund a retail investor like you can invest your small change in order to grow your wealth. Such funds will be managed by Greenwich because they are licensed, asset managers

ArcSEMPECJ:
............


Oga doesn't say what you don't know......

The difference between respect for an elderly man in Igbo land and a respect for an elderly man in Yoruba land is that

while Igbos respect an upright man and deal with a wicked man........

Yorubas respect both the wicked man and the upright man...

When you deal with a wicked man,....you are free from any curse

It's not in their place to tell if he was wicked or not. It is his constituents that put him there to make that call. We must condemn that act in its entirety.
I guess Buhari was right to have proscribed IPOB as a terrorist group. They are really turning out to be one.

We Igbos should condemn this act done by IPOB. Honestly, it's an unwholesome attitude displayed by Ndigbo. We should be ashamed of ourselves to bring this elder stateman into disrepute.
I guess it has dawned on us why other enthic groups look at us condescendingly. We really deserve it

So what's so special about that??

safarigirl:
Because she has a butt, she can talk.

Buttpad is a form of enhancement and it makes the wearer feel sexy, even though it is not an actual butt

She wears wigs and heels a lot, has anybody told her she's insecure? What happened to feel secure in her natural hair and height? Or does she not know those are also forms of enhancements? Those who use waist trainers are also insecure in their bodies, same as users of push-up bras and all forms of enhancements

All these selective critics fail to apply logic when they are talking. Leave people to wear what they wish on their bodies

All you girls are so fake. Fake hairs, fake ass, fake buttpad. Learn to keep it real

obailala:
1 firm wants to take $9billion from Nigeria? As compensation for no service rendered? Such clowns!

My brother spot on!! I thought I was the only one that noticed. It's true that the FG entered into an agreement with the said company to supply gas to Calabar IPP and other industries but they didn't do anything significant. Instead it was seven energy that took up the gauntlet to build a gas processing plant in Akwa-Ibom fill up the void P&ID couldn't do

horsepower101:
Another one.

Abia, Anambra and Imo always fighting for number 1 spot

All the south East States in the top 10 again.

Special congratulations to Edo state. Keep it up.

I am highly impressed with Abia state for remaining top for the past 3 years despite the governmental ineptitude.

Ebonyi is another success story.

———————————————————

Just Imagine if Nigeria was a country based on meritocracy. Igbos will take over everything.

This is why Nigeria must remain tribalistic, nepotistic and maintain quota system so that the incompetent folks will even have a chance.

Nigeria is the result of incompetence domination of intelligence.

You've started this Igbo bragging stuff again.. Just congratulated them on that feat. Must you be so sentimental about it?

fizzy4luv:
While gokada was busy settling management issues,opay was busy with strategy,poaching best hands from gokada staff. It shouldn't be a surprise though for people with good knowledge about the industry ,gokada also did a cameo on max.ng who really is the Pioneer of this bike hailing business.
I am not a business guru but I think Salem did a wrong move with his former partner. The timing wasn't right for his exit. The best advice have been given on LinkedIn which is to partner with a fintech to be able to survive.
For those waiting for opay to crash due to the almost free rides, you might be in for a shocker. Those guys are here to ball and have good strategy to play with.
Max ng might eventually be the main competitor of opay due to their access to funding and also ability to quickly find a niche in the industry.
All these are just random thoughts anyway.shalom

Spot on man!! For real, Opay is owned by a Chinese man and the company is backed with cheap funds from Chinese backed venture capitalists. Opay has a lot of funds to waste and they ain't slowing down anytime soon

TSRC:
Who owns opay?
Is it a Nigerian?

The CEO of Opay is a Chinese man. Opay's got heavy funding from Chinese backed venture capitalists

Jgoldie:
As you fine reach....no word for you babe....no word

So all you do in your office is comment on nairaland all day?

Kano city is really populated. I'm just wondering how productive the city is considering her large demographics

Perfectnumber6:
You got it wrong girl, more than 80% of Nigerians actually likes you, but what they don't like is you rubbing your Father,s wealth on their faces all the time. Imagine traveling from one country to another just to go get ice cream and then you want someone who does not even know where his meal will come from on that day to be happy with you, or someone who has not travelled out of his own city for once no Na it doesn't work this way, there are a lot of Nigerians even as we discuss this topic that doesn't even have 10k in their bank account Lols they work hard like seriously but the money isn't just coming forth and you want them to be happy with you flaunting wealth upadan Lola

Spot on!! You just typed out what I had in mind. Nothing more to type except that when you make such comments like this, certain Nigerians will tag you 'a hater'.

It appears this artist has really outdone other ranking artists in Africa and Afghanistan. Congratulations are in order

chris4gold:
No be dis guy dey sleep behind the wall against Algeria?

Na him be that oo!!!

CrimeKsmart:
You will never hear noise from an Hausa man or a Yoruba man online but if it were to be an Igbo man, you would hear:

Igbo race is the best in the world, we control everything in Nigeria from sport to technology. We are just unfortunate to be in this country we would have grown beyond this. Indeed Igbo man is blessed with numerous talents and no tribe can ever beat or achieve that in Nigeria. An igbo man can survive anywhere in the world because we are naturally ahead. Give us biafra and see how we will turn it to Dubai withing few years. Igbo amaka.


I am not hating on them but these their altitudes of cheast beating and bragging about being the best tribe without having anything to show off will probably make you naturally dislike them.

I'm igbo nonetheless, but I kind of agree with you. Our sense of pride atimes is uncalled for. We seem to display annoying comfort that sounds irritating but just learn to ignore them, it's still the ' hangover' physique of the civil war

Flier:
what a joke! It took her just 2 weeks to make it?
I don’t know what is wrong with Nigerians jumping into conclusion when they don’t really know what the lady is talking about
The house debt she is going to be paying for the next 30 years

I thought I was the only one that noticed. Even Bill Gates or Dangote never made it that quick. Who con be her?

All these ones na onitsha millionaire traders [color=#000000][/color]

globemoney:
This foolish midget called valentine obienyem keeps talking from his ass. Obiano already surpassed Obis 8 years within just 2 years and no one is buying the nonsense 75billion fraud again which they can’t even prove

It's either you are ignorant or plainly mischievous. Even the banks have confirmed that such investments was in their custody. Don't be stupid..
