And some flat head believe their erosion prone enclave will give them enough akpu to keep smelling around shouting Biafra.

Is it your own headache?

onelife97:
And still Nigerians r hungry.

Blame it on mismanagement and corruption.

very soon....I go invest in agriculture

God help me

They are never taught how to present facts and figures to make their case.

They prefer their unverifiable beer parlour gists and under the mango tree tales by mooonlight, banding it as facts.

yeah facts like nkalagu in Enugu state

Teempakguy:
The north produces all the food.

The south east receives the highest allocations.

Yet they complain that they are being marginalized and claim that they are being stolen from. While boasting that they feed the whole country.

Fortunately, it is only the fools among them that behave in this manner.

A substantial amount of crude oil taken from se covers all those tomatoes, pepper and onion s waste n north produce.

Udmaster:
that list is trash, Abia leads ALL STATES in Palm oil, Rubber and Cassava, Ebonyi lead in Rice production.

It is true Ebonyi produce alot of rice for local consumption. But 4 palm oil and rubber Ebonyi cant boast of 50% of Edo production. Edo also produce alot of rice In Ekpoma, Agbede, Ugboha and Oria in Edo central, but not as much of Ebonyi.

superstar1:
This clearly shows what we have known from time immemorial, that descendants of cain are parasites, that contribute NOTHING to this country.

No wonder they are always quick to shout Eastern Region, in their quest to lump SS with them.

They need to call for a Regional Seminar/Retreat that will reverse their zero contribution to the GDP of this country.

Bunch of jokers.

Tribalist, food don done. You conveniently forgot that Abia, Imo and Anambra are oil producing states. Ebonyi state is a producer of rice and salt. Anambra produces rice as well.

Assuming the post was right(which I doubt), and the SE produces nothing, why don't you kick them out of the Union? Why force them to stay where their hearts are not?

Wondered why the list doesn't include oil and gas? May be it was a convenient omission.

Natural Resources in Akwa Ibom State

Aluminium - Ikot Abasi LGA
Ceramics - Itu LGA
Limestone - Ini LGa
Traces of Gold - Mkpat Enin LGA
Natural gas - Mbo LGA
Silver Nitrate, Kaolin, Silicon - Uruan LGA

Akwa Ibom has the highest number of oil palm tree per capita in Nigeria.

If only these natural resources can be explored, thereby making the state less dependent on Crude Oil

nice one

This thread is incomplete without including Ebonyi state as the major state that depends on agriculture to survive

nawa oo this S.E states re the real parasites of nigeria , No wonder hunger finish their life during Biafra war, They contribute Less and they expect big They want to reap where they didn't sow
Kudos to SOUTH WEST STATES AND NORTH STATES..!!!

Nice one at least every state/region can now know what they have to survive; some funny tribe can now see that they have almost nothing but chest beating! I don't know how they will survive if Nigeria divided.

Ebonyi Leads in RICE PRODUCTION.

Liar which oil do you have in SE , when the oil production of Ondo State alone surpasses that of the whole of SE states.

nigga don't you get tired of this sometimes?

mmsen:


Nigeria imports the majority of its food.

The north could produce a lot more and feed the entire continent, sadly it does not.

Why is a region so blessed with resources also one of the most regressive and impoverished parts of the continent?

I apologize for saying this but the problem of the North is "Islam". This is not a direct attempt to rubbish the religion but the fact that Western education could threaten the belief and practice of the religion has left almost every part of the North in perpetual darkness. The few educated ones among them are hindering others from being educated. They would rather prefer to have them live as peasants.

Ever wondered why there are no Northern innovators? Truth is, there may never be because the Northern powers that be prefer that others serve them rather than serve themselves.

Religion and lack of western education seems to be the problem.

Present your own verifiable data to refute the OP now, instead of making mouth. You can always provide your own counter data.

Who is holding them from going? Or they simply lack the acumen to navigate the tortuous road of separation?

No wonder they romance their frustration with chest beating over the Jungle of Biafra that is a mere mirage.

GodMode:


That's what they make it seem like

If you read the article well.. You'll see that Ogun has the largest deposits of resources for cement.. So how is dangote the richest man in Nigeria and why is Ogun IGR not the highest in Nigeria

really? Dangote is simply a business man exploiting natural resources. The yourbas encourage free enterprise. If you can make money off the land, you are free to. If you can respect the Yoruba culture and you're not proud, then you are highly welcome!
Now, as for the IGR issue, does it really matter?

GrAnDwEeZ:
After someone will start making noise . Say dm want biafra. Oil no b una get am, all this things bin mentioned agn south east no dey. I wonda aw dem wan cope slf

Same way Japan, Britain and Singapore are coping better without natural resources

wellmax:
Ok.
Who are the producers of armed robbers, ritualists, kidnappers, drug pushers, militants, prostitutes and baby factories?

sukkot:
nobody eats palm oil though. that shyt clogs the coronary arteries and causes heart attacks. why yall SE tryna export death though ? yall exporting coronary artery disease and coal causes respiratory disease. we prefer groundnut oil from the north.

No I do not.

Until the very last of your tribalist on NL stops.

We ignored your rants on NL for 2solid years and that never debar you guys from stopping.

shaboti:
pls dont be very stupìd. What d'u mean by SE receives highest allocation, are you dumb or what?

of the five states that received the highest allocations in 2014, the SE and SS was in the top four.

It is not for shallow minds and hollow brains like yours.

You must be very stupid

For Yam
Put Nassarawa, Abuja and Niger State...
Op you need to see a tuber of yam from those region, as in no state can be compared to Nassarawa, Abuja and Niger Yam but unfortunately they are not mentioned in your list

Chai! The kind yam wey dem dey plant for Nasarawa fit feed the entire country. Very big and very soft. Good for tuwo sakwara/pounded yam too

Hm, you wont believe that PZ industries imports Palm oil. We have abundant supply but they still buy from outside. SMH

Udmaster:

So? Do you also lead in every other things like gold, timber, tomatoes etc
