lolzzzz:
its a glaring observation, if you can't comprehend the topic, you can ignore it.

Lol. For you mind. The SouthWest is about 3 times the size of the entire SE -- Oyo state alone is the size of Anambra, Abia, and Imo state combined. Ditto Ogun and Ondo. And even some of our cities are as big as your states in Landmass. We have cities that are centuries old and still standing for posterity. It's no secret that the SE is the smallest and therefore the most densely populated region in the country with serious population pressure challenges, which explains why you all have to migrate out of your enclaves in masses and need to rebuild your leveled buildings after the civil war. How big are 'developed' Aba, Owerri, and Enugu? The developed section of Enugu encompasses but a mere 2 local government out of 17, same applies to Imo state, where Owerri is the only 'developed' town. Aba is nothing to write home about. These 'developed' areas of the SE can't be any bigger than Ikeja in Lagos. #FACT. Ibadan city alone is as big if not bigger than some SE states. I have attached pix of Ohafia in Abia state with brown roofs that make Ibadan's look regal in comparison. Yinmu.

Very clean, beautiful and lovely city.

O ba A won U niversity INDEED! Beautifulicious.

B69U:



I KNOW U BAN ME EARLIER AND HIDE MY COMMENT. THIS IS A NEW YEAR, HAPPILY PUSH THE THREAD WITHOUT QUOTING ME?

Are you drunk? ? Do I look like a mod to you?

B69U:
ANYBODY THAT THINK IGBOS WILL DIE WITHOUT TRADING IN LAGOS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IS LAGOS THAT WILL DIE WITHOUT IGBOS TRADERS.

IF YOU DOUBT THAT, LET ALL THOSE TRADERS RELOCATE TO THE EAST FIRST.

Lol. Delusion of grandeur. Na only Igbos dey trade for Nigeria or Lagos? Abi wetin Una dey go buy and sell from China wey others no fit do the same? Keep deceiving yourself there you hear?

An official of the task force who pleaded anonymity, however, said they were at the market to seal it due to the traders nonchalant attitude to environmental
sanitation.

He noted that the traders have taken
government’s threat lightly and did
nothing to remedy the situation.

Smh. Instead of those dirty traders to comply with the Lagos state govt directive to clean-up their environment, they are resorting to Biafra propaganda and blackmail to whip up ethnic sentiments.

Yinmu. They are on a long thing coz na Dem go lose money.

MXrep:

u cant even carry on ur tribal e war alone, running to ur ab.oki masters for help?? Lol. Aba has moved on long ago

Dude, what are you talking about? ? Are you o.k? Wetin consign Abo.k.i for this matter? fearNORTH and mallamseifaldin are your fellow kinsmen from the sad beast and were running their mouths earlier. If those are the people you're referring to as 'a.bo.ki, then the Joke's on you boy. Was merely calling their attention to the fact that the Oyo state govt has sharply and efficiently commenced the cleanup. Something that can't be said for your Aba pigsty.

astrodome:


Duh! He set it up outside the SE and it is now crumbling. He was also duped in Ogun of land that he purchased. Penny wise pound foolish.

Innoson Motors and others in Igboland are doing well.

Yinmu. Your problem is that you are too sentimental, as is the case with a lot of you SE bred folks. That he's yet to receive his C of O in no way proves that he was duped. It's not all the time that you purchase a land that you immediately get your C of O. For all we know he may have taken possession of the land while awaiting his c of o, this is not uncommon in Nigeria. Erisco is too big to be 'duped' by any state government without consequence.

What you fail to understand is that the vast majority of successful igbos did not 'make it' in Igboland but rather OUTSIDE igboland. That is the gospel truth.

caprini1:
The genesis of this mans wealth started from sokoto,in fact he speaks Hausa better than Igbo.....he has invested in all geo political region in Nigeria.Pls let him be.

Don't mind him. His real grouse is that the guy didn't setup the factory in the SE. Very myopic somebody.

IyaIode:

I pity the guy though, his homeland is not viable. Man must suvive anyhow

The guy is definitely smart and savy enough to know that situating this particular kind of biz there is a no-no -- e go don do im feasibility studies about its viability in that region. Sentiments apart.

astrodome:


Like say there is no Yoruba man who imports anything into Nigeria. Get lost, you hypocritical Yoruba bat.

Yinmu. Keep playing the ostrich there instead of placing the blame where it really belongs.

Erisco himself put the blame where it truly belongs when he said:

The sector is not doing well for now because of the bad foundation laid by previous governments.

Interestingly enough, Dangote also runs a Tomato paste factory, I think the biggest in the country, and I'm yet to hear him complain. Perhaps he too needs to be interviewed to hear his view.

astrodome:


And your SW and Northern brothers are the customs officers who collect bribes to let them import every thing on earth into Nigeria. Shame on the customs and exercise authorities. It takes two to tango, remember?

Akuko! Like say SE people sef no dey inside customs. Besides, a lot of those importers got connections and illegal waivers from the 'ogas at the top' which were mostly sealed during the SE-favoured last administration of 'anything goes', to bring in these contrabands and consequently messing up the poor guy's business. You should be attacking GEJ's admin and those unscrupulous importers bro.

Lordave:
You see your life?

If I report you for abusing a me, a fellow Nairalander, them go say cry baby. Do I look like a bigot like you?

Kpachara anya gi o!

Quit whining like a lil bitc..h Jo. I just got back from a two week ban so it ain't no biggie if I get banned again -- I'll take it like a man, so you can continue whining like a taata for all I care.

Today, the industry is plagued by importation of substandard but cheap tomato paste from China, so, Umeofia is left to fight to keep his local plant afloat and has become a strong advocate for the manufacture of goods locally as against importation.

Ironically, it's his SE brothers who are the major culprit with respect to the importation of the substandard tomato paste into the market.

Lordave:
If this part of Ibadan is this dirty, how much more the rural parts of Ibadan where there no motorable roads?

Mumu. The OP just updated the thread to say the thrash is already being evacuated. See the difference between us and Una? Till this very day Aba remains a pigsy.. #FACT #EFFICIENCY

Cc: fearNORTH, mallamseifaldin

EasternLion:
Thank God my Aba is looking cleaner and dapper now, with major construction work everywhere, by this time next year, let me see who will use Aba to cast aspersions at Biafrans again.

Ibadam, oshey!

Mumu. The OP just updated the thread to say the thrash is already being evacuated. See the difference between us and Una? Till this very day Aba remains a pigsy. #FACT. # EFFICIENCY

Who ask you to post pictures


List how companies you have in Abia state and provide a link to it

END OF DISCUSSION!

Cc: MXrep.

Even though you are a 'goat', at least this once you make sense.

CSTR2:
There is nothing developed about osun, ekiti or oyo.
I mean you can't compare any of these states to enugu or even imo.
Nigeria as a whole though is a shitthole, but the SW is far from being its most developed.

Yinmy. Only 2 local governments in the entire Enugu are 'developed' out of about 17 or so total, while the rest are glorified villages. infact the developed part of Enugu can't be bigger than Ikeja in Lagos. Yes, I said it and you can quote me. Owerri the capital of Imo is the only part of Imo that can be considered 'developed' by Nigerian standards. Oshogbo and Ekiti have their 'developed' sides too just that we Yorubas are not as narcissistic as you all are, splashing selective pictures of the eye candy parts of igboland. I have pictures of Ohafia in Abia state that is worse than any village in the entire SW.

christejames:
please visit anambra to clarify your doubts. After Lagos in Nigeria, anambra is the next cosmopolitan state...
Obiano as a governor is performing tremendously that not even Ambode can be compared with him for now, is like you don't know that anambra state has a large crude oil and gas reserve that the states governor is trying to harness currently building oil rigs and other facilities in that regard...
In terms of IGR, corruption and misappropriation has really made the state to large behind, but today Obiano's govt is fixing that anomaly, I hope he achieves it...

Try harder dude. Until Anambra or any of its major cities start getting mentioned in the same breathe as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano, your postulations will remain but mere hype. As it stands, I reckon that even Enugu, Ibadan, and Calabar rank higher in renown and importance Nationally than Anambra or any of her cities. That is the truth. Though I will acknowledge that you Anambra fans are doing a heck of a job trying to sell/market/rebrand the state owing to Obiano's commendable efforts, but y'all really have your work cut out.

MXrep:

Continue, Ebonyi will soon overtake all ur states while ur busy living in the shadow of Lagos

. Dude, I'd be more concerned about Ebonyi overtaking your ovehyped Anambra than the SW -- Ebonyi already has a higher IGR than Anambra. Besides, you folks obviously have serious inferiority complex issues if not why must you always compare yourself with the SW to feel good about yourselves?

Ogun state has already overtaken Lagos as the defacto Industrial hub of the entire country, and Jonathan is on record for saying both Lag and Ogun control no less than 50% of the Nigerian economy. Leave matter for Mathias and face your region.

christejames:
hahaha... E PAIN AM!! I am not even from Anambra, just stating the obvious...
As for ndianambra being illiterate, this conspicuously shows that you know nothing about that state, check the recent rating, achievements by states in education; anambra leads... The state has produced scholars, academics and academia of reputable characters. Worthy of note is the first Nigerian Vice chancellor of that university at Ibadan is from that state in person of Kenneth Dike...

Yinmu. There's nothing to hate about Anambra. The state is all hype and nothing more. And I don't care whether you are from that big traders state or not. For all the noise you all make about Anambra, pray tell why even Ebonyi of all states generates more IGR than that over hyped market state? Where does Anambra rank on the GDP scale? How important is the state economically to the FG? How much does it contribute to the National commonwealth? These are the indices that determine the value of a state to the federation, not over hyped news of Obiano commissioning a flyover? If Anambra was so important the FG would not have called iPod's bluff when they shut down Onitsha in protest recently. Besides Onitsha, what else is in Anambra? Nnewi is living on old glory. Fvck the hype.

kettykin:


Lagos should be accessed differently as a zone, even the PHCN zoned lagos island, ikeja as different zones from the south west zone , are you smarter than the telecommunications companies like mtn, globacom, Air tel that have different switches for lagos and the remaining south west

Kettyki,, you are smarter than this so I'll be a lil easy on you so I don't chop another ban -- just got back from a 2 weeks hiatus. But frankly you are not making sense. Lagos can't cease from being a part of the SW Just simply coz you personally loath the idea. You are in no position to decide that. Lagos is and will always be and remain in the SW just as sure as the sun is sure to set daily.

christejames:
Remove Lagos from South west, its a 'federal territory' for everyone. If Lag is finally removed watch as the whole south west would be comparable to the North west, (if not less developed than the NE).
...as for Ogun being the industrial state of the country, it's a big fallacy; pure water industries and other small scale and cottage industries are not counted as heavy industries that generate bulky income, if I'm lying ask Anambra state whether they were part of the 'snitches' that converge at Aso rock begging for fund comically termed bailout fund...

Lol. Your bad-belle will not change the fact that Lagos is in SW Nigeria, and that Ogun is now the industrial hub of Nigeria. You can hype Anambra from today till tomorrow but that won't change the fact that it is a glorified village peopled by illiterate traders and wannabes.

kettykin:
Can you rewrite your analysis removing lagos from the South west and making it a separate zone also remove Abuja from the north central and keep it as a separate zone, let us see how the list plays out.

Can you listen to yourself? So where should Lagos be moved to if not the Southwest? The moon? Whether you like it or not Lagos is and will always be in Southwest Nigeria. Deal with it.

Ope o. I am back from 2wks ban.

A lot of these governors are 'First term' governors who spend most of their first tenure in office trying to impress the public in order to win their confidence for a second term shot, only to slow down after winning re-election.

That's why I personally don't like the idea of Govs doing two terms coz their second terms usually turn out wasted with inactivity.

Congrats!!

Congrats!!!

greatiyk4u:


They have a Prof. As the Governor, idea rules dear

Okidoki! Then I expect lots of good tidings from that state in the coming year.

Cross River budget high o!

kettykings:


Thank you for the pill very nice and kind of you but the hypocrisy emanating from certain parts of Nigeria reeks with deep trepidation and insecurity on the progress of other people, how can someone tell me Ken olisa, the most powerful black Britain is not Nigerian and not igbo and come here to celebrate another foreign person as Nigerian.

The mods even moved the Ken olisa thread to another section.
Please can someone tell me what really is happening in nairaland.

Guy, I repeat that you really do need to chill out and quit seeing everything from a jaundiced and tribal lens! The Ken Olisa thread you speak of had over 42,000 views dammit! It HIT FRONT PAGE! WHAT MORE DO YOU FVCKING WANT??!! I don't get the way some of y'all reason, I'm sorry.
