KungLaoooo: Haba. Oyo would be in the top 10 na. It isn't as sophisticated as some others at the very top, but it has the economics of scale going (large size), It is the number 2 most populated state in the South (2006). Probably the number 3 now, after Ogun~ which ultimately places it somewhere in the top 8 at least. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

KungLaoooo: Oyo may be underperforming based on poor leadership but that can't take away the fact that it's got immense wealth, viability and high productivity. Na to harness all that wealth be the problem and that boils down to leadership. In the words of former Access bank MD AIG Aigboje: He said apart from Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Oyo, Rivers and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), all other states rely solely on the federal allocation to survive. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/11/10/only-six-states-in-nigeria-are-viable-says-aig-imoukhuede/ 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Based on Federal allocation plus IGR I think it shd be Lagos Rivers Akwa-Ibom Ogun Delta Note: it's not 5 most developed states. Next top 5 after those above is Kano Anambra Oyo Kaduna Cross River. 6 Likes |
