veraponpo: Ajimobi too wanna show face. $1.3b is not a joke. More jobs, more exports, more businesses, bigger economy, more taxes, increased IGR,etc

That is enough to shoot the state's already big economy up again.

South west on the moveeeeeee...

Haters gonna die...

geeez:
The leader of the Canadian team, Edward Ndububa, said the project, which would be located in Itesiwaju and Afijio area of the state, would start in December.

djon78: This is good news for our brothers in the SW, we are happy for them, but all these talk about some people jealous about this news, to me is childish. One Igbo adage states ihe oma aha agwu agwu meaning good things can never finish or is inexhaustible, so that you have good coming your way today does not mean good will not come to your neighbor tomorrow. I remember one story I heard about China in the 1950's, one western philosopher made this statement about China "there lies a sleeping giant", as of mid 90's China's economy was not among the top ten in the world, but fast forward today China has leapfrogged many high economies including the likes of Germany, the economic power house of Europe and Japan the former electronics/fuel efficient cars giant of Asia.
Why am I stating all this when I look at the Igbo nation and tremendous potential she's got, I always say that is a sleeping giant but thank God bit by bit, she is waking up from sleep...... I rest my case.

You are an outlier like most cosmopolitan people everywhere.
Many of your people wish us ill and that is a fact.
Their opinion is that a progress in the SW is like a conspiracy to deny the SE the same thing.

Believe me when I say that you guys are still sleeping.
Even when the handwriting is on the wall with mall opening here and there,
The consumer electronic traders are already beginning to feel the pinch here.
Dangote refinery will remove the chemical trade as well.
MoSt of the retail sector in the SW will be formalised .
Most of your brother are still beating their chest emptily.
Especially when you consider that the largest market of consumers and purchasing power in the country are yorubas
While the SW is still very far from el darado,.
Initiative after initiative makes it apparent that the region will continue to suck up most of the oxygen.
All this is happening while the SW is in opposition.
What do you think will happen when we become a governing majority.
You better go and hassle your leaders to please stand up.


I will point out a few reasons why I think you have inept leadership
Enugu -the most cosmopolitan city in the SE is essentially a government money state(civil servants). This city has coal .instead of pressuring the federal government for a power plant and looking for private sector investments to reactivatie the mine ,your leaders are doing houseboy for AGIP ,when they should be pushing hard on that same government with their regional voting power.

2 Anambra- a town with the commerce oriented onitsha and manufacturing nnewi .
Like I posted before the strategic location of anambra on the Niger ,with the unstable,inefficient and very corrupt Asaba across the river means that a good leader should be able to exploit that advantage.
The tinapa thing would have worked in onitsha and just making the city livable means that it would be in the position to take advantage of the spending power of delta state .

3abia state-this one has already lost the battle against port harcourt.

4imo state- has a little oil and a few tertiary institutions .Investment in tourism may be the way to go .

5 ebonyi-another inept ,rudderless state and Mostly agrarian state. Should be doing the same thing as osun .Irrigation to allow all season agriculture, most especially in rice, yam where the state's advantage lie.

Mansions ,monument etc are not development.
Development is the economic situations that allows mansions and monument to be built

Ur comments are a joke on educated minds. I wonder were u got the notion that most south easterners wish our south western brodas ill. Nigerians where are we all going with this bad, this is bad. I didn't know Nigerians hated it had this notion of themselves. Look, I was born in Lagos, grew up there, had Yoruba friends all my life. Speak and understand yoruba but also speak and understand my native dialect. What should matter is that development is taking place in Nigeria, regardless of where. I wish Oyo state success cos i know what ever comes out of there would benefit not just Oyo but the whole south south and nigeria as a whole. That is what is important. U guys should stop fighting over ethnic divide, it will not help us. Instead we will be doing our children harm. Enough is enough. Believe me, easterners know where they stand, both with southerners and northerners but all those are irrelevant without development. As for east progressing, don't uncross ur fingers yet. Igbo's never carry last (believe me, I know, I married one), I assure and they did help develops Lagos no matter how our western Broda's try to deny it.
God bless Nigeria, Igboland, Yorubaland Hausaland, ijawland and the rest of the country.

Tolexander: This is a very nice step to agricultural developement!

Brimmie:

Where you go before?? Omoluabi!

170chuks: Mk i hear say anything positive com out from this stuff

hunter2,1:

If not for the defensive stand taken being taken taken by the likes of bloggernaija, by now somebody would have come hear to write "another OWAMBE project" as a comment. I hope you would be hear to give them the same response.

0monnakoda: $1.3 billion from where? Try and do some research on this guy and his company? This sounds like bullshit. I am of course loyal to the SW but we pride ourselves on being street smart. If you have $1.3 billion to invest in ANY country in the world would you put in in Agriculture and do so in what is esssentially a START UP and would you do so in Nigeria.

Who is this guy and what is his track record.

What was his last project

Wat is his biggest deal to date. This story does not ring true and the characters in his team on the website are a bit Hmm........


I don't buy this yarn let us not be so gullible.
Would a company with
£1billion have such a cheap website

Go to "CURRENT PROJECTS" and read through ; basically it is all we will we propose they cannot show us a SINGLE FARM anywhere.

Anyone from Oyo State should be having a pop at Ajimobi for allowing this clown to make him look stupid because there is no substance to this tale and there never could have been
