Wrong, hookup and yahoo has the highest employment. Like 70%.of youth in warri are either into yahoo or hookup...

Warri finally carry last

Warri i went to last 3 years omo...its was a shamble ...everyone is struggling like ...omo ...all d babes there na hookup dem de do...all d guys there at least not all sha ..mind me....na G boys ..... the girls own na taya me....shame

Look Igbos business activities is very essential in Lagos economy , if they leave and take all their business outside lagos , watch what will happen in the city ... seems you are just blowing grammer anyhow i am laughing ...am not igbo o , abeg make you no come de reason tribal fight

Go to Apapa port and see who is having the most containers shipped into naija, go to tin can port as well ....

Let leave insults igbos are hustlers from every l
Class of life ....almost all the major markets in lagos are dominated by them .....clear road for the game changer ..who de who de.......haha

Igboslayer:
Going to Warri back then was a big battle. You can’t enter the city with any vehicle bearing the logo of a popular company. Anywhere you park Agebros will bombard you like bees asking for Deve. Benin also borrowed some format from this and drove many potential investors away. The Benin by pass saved a lot of people and businesses from Agberos lurking in every part of the city. Robbery is very common along the bypass till this day.

Very true bro

does Onitsha looks to you like a dead city, did you visit its industrial estate in ogbaru, or harbour industrial estate and see things for yourself. There may not be a behemoth like dangote refinery, but there are a lot manufacturing going on.must thing use in east are produced in the east.

Commot there jaree, most freighers and container owners are Tinubu's henchmen not ibo( if you know you know)...one container imported can be shared by dozens of your kinmens in small cubicle shop... which means most of your men's are Retailers not Containers owners or Wholesalers.

Trust me you can only tax successful business... in East where businesses make far less you can't ask them to make such sacrifice of huge tax like in Lagos or Ogun...


Like that is responsible for Anambra earning less than a third of Osun...most business in East are not viable that is why their youth would rather leave via Night buses and their big men choose to invest in West.


Stat shows SE has one of the lowest disposable income, how you wan tax people whose first theme is Survival as these stat protray...

Pascal9:

Exactly
A lot of those factors identified by the Op had to do with security, law and order. A capital city has better indices of such than one which is not.
For example, just imagine a bunch of thugs doing "deve" in a state capital. It's near impossible.
The Warri crisis couldn't have occurred nor drag on for so long if warri was the state capital

Buh businesses in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun are not complaining cos they know what they make on daily basis can't be made elsewhere. that is why Lagos,Ogun and others keep welcoming people in thousands via Night buses from all over Nigeria. Go other region and see how many months e go take you to sell what you sell in a day in Lagos or West.



It's not rocket science.

fkj950ax:


Stop the (A) misinformation and (B) throwing dust into the mix. You are not being honest wit the details in the devil.

The location(s) of the riots as at 2023 has recovered 100%. There is absolutely no trace of the riots and destructions anywhere today.
Rent is high, cost of living in LA is out of the roof... (I have been living in LA since 2021 till date). These have nothing to do with the riots. The riots didn't kill the economy in LA like the OP said Warri suffered.

Homelessness in LA is crazy, but it has nothing to do with LA Riots of 1992. There are no fentanyl dead people all over the streets today, even in almighty Skid Row. (I'd drive through Skid Row tomorrow and save a video from my dash cam for you).
If you can identify the streets where the riots took place, I'd go there tomorrow and take pictures for you.

Also, drug abuse is not a major social or medical problem Los Angeles. On the lists of US Cities with highest use of Cocaine, Weed, Heroine and Meth problems, Los Angeles is not among the top 10 on any of the drug categories (https://americanaddictioncenters.org/blog/substance-abuse-by-city)

Also, the propaganda by Republicans blaming people leaving LA is just BS. Your link shows 500k people left LA in 2 years. Its more of a financial decisions by them. Most of the people who left LA are homeowners who sold their homes in CA for 900k and above and used the money to buy 2 bigger and better homes in TX, UT (400k-500k). The number of people moving INTO California has been between 125k-200k annually. People move from place to place. Republicans are just using it to bash CA because of the Democrat run state.

Even the Fentanyl dead everywhere you mentioned is another talking points of republicans and FOXNews people. Its just bad politics.
California and New York and Washington (Seattle) are as pricey as each other. There is nothing wrong in that. They been pricey also have nothing to do with the 1992 riots.

Many thanks for the info. This is based on first hand knowledge and witness. I am also not saying everything has to do with the LA riots.

But why are home prices so high in California? Why not encourage more high density housing? This will help bring down high home prices. States or cities with autocratic town planners have cheaper housing than states with entitled property owners who frustrate things because they don't want their house prices to come down.

The building was built in 80s when Tinubu was a treasurer with ExxonMobil he left Mobil to become Senator in 1992

Is that now clear to you

He ran for office of the senate in 1992, he wasn't a senator, neither did he win in 1992.

Besides he was employed in 1990 into Mobil, that building has been there before he thought of relocation back to Nigeria.

Where in warri?

I stayed Effurun && Deco Road

I was born and brought up in Okere community in waffy and still working and reside there. So I hail all the waffys in the building, una teeth complete, una face show.

As for the decline in the economy of warri, I will blame it on the indigenes and communities in warri. The youths are lazy and don't want to work, they feel it is their right as Omo otor to collect deve from all businesses and companies even when you want to construct something as small as roofing your shop, you must pay them else they bring it down and where it is bad is that these deve they collect gets increased on a steady.

Then again, the government is aiding them because they allow these go on under their watch, Ibori and Udangan's tenures were the worst, that was when Shell had the last straw and relocated it's HQ to PH.

If I hadn't established myself here already I would have moved to a better state, the only economic activities keeping warri now are Yahoo, Businesses, Keke and Hookup
