If you include his other names like Rotimi ,It will sound Yoruba.

Ino. I am sure azikiwe son to is yoruba? And then all muslims are from arab and your english name equates you to england

realjoker:

what do they export?.

i need fact and data about the bolden not hearsay and emotional beleive.
that is been generated in their region.
not in other people region.

he s talking about human capacity.
Man power.
Technology.
Etc.
If they don't contribute sir, then they should do the needful to let them go. Remember some part of SE was given to SS and they also help to generate revenue. That is Delta igbo, rivers igbo(obigbo). Obigbo has the highest gas and petrol in their region and they re SE.

Anyway sir, if our oil in SE is small why remove anambra state? But in the case of palm oil,groundnut,salt, rice and coal, the SE has it despite they have abandoned coal but they exports rice,palm oil and limestone from SE.

You may not know all these but SE re important to nigerian. If they re not let them go. They will be more happy than staying.
Remember SE is better than togo,benin rp and niger and they still survives, so if they can why not SE who has a blessed skills in productions of CARS,motors, vehicles,SHOES,and DINOX computers.

Pls let them be, you may not know their usefulness to nigeria until they re gone.



Pls hope my statement is not tribal am only trying to say something though.

AustineE1:
Its only parapo ewedu economics that you discuss a region without discussing the people of the region.Resources dont give you money but its effective usage and application that gives you money.However it is discussed, the south East remains the most vibrant and effective contributors to the Nigerian economy,with all due respect to the equally blessed south south region.
The oil production state op brandished above, may most likely be from the collections of Asiwaju Tinubus news media,we are all used to their Yoruba parapo press.
It is on record that the second highest revenue earner in our economy is from import duties and which south-Easterners amounts for over 82% of all revenue to government from importation.
As for internally generated revenue from direct taxes on businesses,lands,properties and commodities,which equally makes up the chunk of government revenues,no need mentioning those who are more into businesses,those who own more lands and properties in major cities et al. We all they are igbos!
It is also on record that Nigerian diasporan community contributes a lot to our total foreign income,by the money the send home and of course we all know the people that travels a lot and are welly established all over the world.

This explains the continous and inordinate effort by the Nigerian state to keep South-East in this marriage of convenience called Nigeria.
One luv,no harm intended!

Vital considerate points for the op. He may not know it all like I told him.

OP thank you for opening this thread which clearly shows why the SE feel marginalized.

Your question is exactly why the SE will always agitate for Biafra and the reason Nigeria is suffering today. There is a huge potential, man power and revenue that has been caged by the fake One Nigeria Slogan.

Why are people from SE compelled to import through Lagos when the Government can easily build a port closer to the East?
Why is the Govt. not thinking about dredging the river Niger to allow easy flow of good to the East and other regions across the Niger?

The fact remains that if massive indigenous industrialization and development is to be seen in Nigeria the FG needs to explore the prowess of the SE which has been caged in the name of Politricks.

Nigeria will keep moving at the pace of snail. If Igbos leave Nigeria tomorrow I can bet my life development and Tech in Biafra will surpass Nigeria in a very short time even without oil.
The structure of Nigeria at this very moment is counter productive and until the SE is unleashed likewise other regions you won't see rapid growth in Nigeria. Just take a look at Aba market which is indigenous, look at the manufacturing plants all over I expect the Govt to make policies to favour these local productions but NO....lets keep importing.

Be there asking silly questions that will bring up tribal e-war instead of asking why such a region with manpower is tamed.

IyaIode:
So no igbo man can say exactly what they add to the national purse, what a pity

Sydney22:
what are you contributing ? ****

Very funny, this look like tell first and I will tell you mine. Iya ode , it s igbo not ibo tanx

Yiiboes and there ways, simple question they resort to name calling and cursing of the OP. If not for the mods, I for show una pepper. Pathetic

@ Op(real Joker) Why dont you try & improve on your education before venturing into areas you know nothing about. You hardly make a complete sentence without tense & spelling erorrs, you cannot differentiate between past, present & future tense, Something a primary one pupil will do perfectly well. The joke is on you son, half education is worse than illiteracy! Enugu & Owerri airports are both busier than Kano airport, they rank 4th &5th respectively. Igbos contribute the biggest amount of remittances from abroad. When you talk about monies that accrue to custom & FAAN also have it in mind that Igbos are by far the biggest contributors through import duties & others they pay at the sea ports & airports when bringing in their goods from abroad. Finally are you not ashamed to be asking this kind of question when the same Igbos since 1967 have been demanding to go their way while you desperatively want them to be with you!! ****

a very useless, shitty and foolish thread. continue hating on the igbos while we progress

Wizprodigy:

So our resources is a nomansland?
Lagos is yorubaland? Just look at what you are saying. We should remain with aliens that knows nothing about our culture just because they want our oil. Keep deceiving yourselves.
If you want to know the contribution of the SE let us have true federalism to prove who are the parasites and leeches in this country.
What is the contribution of SE yet they are been forced to use lagos seaport like lagos is the only state in the coastline?
What is the contribution of SE yet they have the highest indigenious industries in the entire Nigeria.
What is the contribution of SE yet one of their state is the only state to move away from parasiting our oil.
The question should be what is the contribution of the SEasterners.

[/s]

You are just crying and splashing spit everywhere. All this emotional trash cant take you anywhere, is Lagos a sad beastern land? Is there any rule that force you to use the Lagos sea port. Answer the op or keep shut. Rubbish.

I never called him id!ot, mynd 44 pls take note, I only made a general statement, stop putting words on my mouth! pls point out where I called him Id!ot, why are you like this?

Testimonies from non-igbos
I AM NOT AN IGBO!!!
I am not an Igbo, but i'd say that the igbos
contribute more to the economy of Nigeria, in terms
of production, commercial services, entertainment,
sports etc.
*Those yorubas saying they have more industries, do you know that majority of those industries are
owned and controlled by the igbos.
*The igbos started nollywood and majority of
nollywood directors and actors are igbos and
nollywood contributes 2.0 percent to the nigerian
GDP *The igbos have been doing well in sport. legends
like okocha, kanu etc are all igbos...
*If Igbos are not in Nigeria, the standard of living in
Nigeria would be very poor and the cost of living
would be very high i.e they wouldn't be able to
afford foreign commodities. *majority of the shoes, clothes we wear are made
by Igbos and they are affordable.
*I'd say The yorubas and hausas are always
oppose the igbos because they are jealous of there
creativity and ideas.
*you and i know that if biafra republic eventually gains their independence the standard of living in
Nigeria would be very low and the biafra nation
would be prosperous and wealthy like singapore
and dubai because of their cordial relationship btw
themselves and their creativity.

Igbos when Yorubas call you ''leeches'' tell
them to leave yoruba news outfits and know
that:
*Abia and Anambra produces cocoa in
commercial quantity.
*Ebonyi is the biggest rice producer in Nigeria with 25 solid minerals(lime stone) and 2 salt
lakes.
*the coal in Enugu can power west africa and
beyond.
* Anambra holds 16 percent of Nigeria's gas
reserve *Anambra,Abia and Imo(with untapped
fields) are crude oil producing state.
*Abia and Imo are the major palm oil
producing state.
*Anambra has Bauxite,Imo has ceramic etc.
*Onitsha,Aba,Ladipo,Alaba and computer village are the trade capital in Africa(powered
by Igbos)
* Igbos pay 85 percent of import duties in
Lagos.
* As the most travelled ethnic group in west
Africa, the contribute up to 60 percent Nigeria's abroad remittance.
* the 3 biggest markets in Lagos are powered
by Igbos which is a great source of revenue
for the state.
* Igbo are major players in real estate in
Abuja,thereby generating income for Nigeria via tax.
*Igbos has the biggest investment in Nigeria
per capita.
* The second biggest film industry in the
world is powered by Igbos.
*The biggest footwear industry in Africa. * major players in Automotive in industry
(ladipo,ibeto,innoson,nnewi auto market etc)
* transportation industry.
* pharmaceuticals
* to be continued...............

oil production by states:
1, Akwa-Ibom: Akwa-Ibom ranks as the top
crude oil producing states in Nigeria with
production going on in upto 8 different local
government Areas in the state.
2, Rivers: Initially Rivers state was the
major oil producing states in the country, with two refineries in Port Harcourt and
large crude oil reserve.
3, Delta: Delta ranks third in the list of oil
producing states in Nigeria.
4, Bayelsa: Bayelsa is the state where crude
oil was first discovered in commercial quantity in Nigeria
5, Cross River
6, Imo
7, Abia
8, Anambra
9, Ondo: Ondo States serve has the only state from south west that produces oil in
commercial quantity.

Wizprodigy:

You are not aware that before the militancy oil spillage, air pollution and water pollution has been a menace in our region?
Your second question is out of place. What is Nigeria source of foreign exchange and in which region is it found? And you are asking me who is feeding other region.
Finally, your last question. There are two types of contribution SE provide.
1. Human resources.
2. Import duties.
However if you are talking about money from the region it is not that high.
But let me make this clear, Nigeria is practicing a fed-unitary system of govt, and by the word "unit" it means individual contribution. The SEasterners are known to be the highest contributors.
There is a reason why true federalism is called regionalism, so if you want to know the logical contribution of the SE then we should impliment the last confab report. If not you can't have a valid answer to what you are asking.
Btw, i thought osun have the IGR of the entire SE? How market na?

Enough of all these lies tell me any part of SE that has experience oil spillage air pollution, water pollution due to the activities of oil exploration I know u will still keep on lieing and continue believing that ur region produce a sizable amount of Nigeria crude oil wich is as a result of dellusinal hallucination and keep peddling around lies that u feed the the whole nation whereby u are the second parasitic zone second to NE.

Nigeria finds oil and gas in commercial
quantities in Anambra Aug 12, 2003 02:00 AM About 30 tcf of gas and 1 bn barrels of crude oil
has been found in the Anambra River basin in
Anambra State, the Director of Engineering
standard in the Department of Petroleum Resources
(DPR), Mr Patrick Onwumere, said in Awka.
Mr Onwumere who led a team of experts to assess the volume of gas and crude reserves in the
Anambra River basin as well as gauge the
preparedness of the state government in the
establishment of an indigenous refinery through its
oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources, said the
team was impressed with what it saw on the ground. His revelation was coming on the heels of a
confirmation by the Managing Director of Orient
Petroleum, Engr. Nnaemeka Nwawka that a large
hectare of land for the construction of the refinery
which would be sited at Otuocha in Anambra East
Local Government area of the state had been mapped out. Nwawka added that the only thing
delaying full acquisition of the land is the state
governor's signature on the certificate of
occupancy (CoO) for the land.
According to Onwumene, his team's visit was a
preliminary move which has to do with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the area,
the level of land acquisition promised by the
governor, and the examination of the extent of
work done so far by the Orient Petroleum
Resources. Onwumene also said he and members of his team
were interested in seeing that the exploitation of oil

realjoker:
nobody doubt or question their productivity and industrous prowes, bit they have been disturbing our peace calling other zones all sorts of derogatory names and claiming to be the one feeding the whole nation which is far away from the reality on ground. so what is SE states contribution to fg revenue?

I can see where your hatred starts from. You mean SE claims to be the one feeding this nation? Haba , that s a BIG lie from the pit of HELL, pls don't mind them o. They re not the one and can never be the one feeding this country alone. Every other tribes re contributing. That I am very sure, no one has the monopoly of resources in life. Everyone is useful to this nation.
Op pls stop taking what you read on net personally,it ain't good. We africans, I don't know what s wrong with us, despite our civilisation in africa, we re still living in the past. I don't think the white behaves like this in their own country. This Is one of the reasons that set this country backward cos everyone wants to feels superior and others a slave or a servants which is uncalled for. Assuming we see ourselves as one,or first as nigerians, by now, 1$=1#. it still baffled me how nigerian abandoned coal, a very useful resources in the world, in enugu state and also abandoned some natural talents/creativity of individuals/resources, we can extracts from east,west,north and south. Re the leaders lacking visions and solutions of The importance of some natural resources in nigeria.? Yet the igbos and the yorubas will be proud and chanting to the world they produced a president. A president that was there for a good past 8years to 6years without doing something meaningful for this country. A president that spends 8years and 6years, no money in reserves and no meaningful development, re we cursed or the leaders re the cause? Which one pls?
Our youth like op and other tribalist op or defenders that re supposed to be in the offices and factories or business places ends up in nairaland typing nonsensical statement and seeking for an answers that is meant to be answer by a failed leaders of this country called nigeria.
What is exactly wrong with us, what will lovely tribes in nigerian gain from battling and hating themselves? Is it because they re blacks, or is it because we re not yet developing ourselves to reasons like nigerian or is it because we re too tribalistic ?
Yorubas re wonderful people except you have not met one or two likewise the igbos and hausas or ijaws/ibibios etc.
Am very sure seun and co didn't opened this site for bashing but for the usefulness of information around the world. Am very sure. Pls op I know the igbos re very proud people, always proud of their talents, always proud of anything they laid their hands upon. but learnt to ignores their ways of life and tried to apply wisdom with them by tolerance. My prayer is that our leaders should wake up and do the needful. This country has a lot of untap natural resources apart from oil. A lot needs to be done here. They need adverts that will kill racism and tribalism. Our leaders needs to be patriotic rather than going after public funds. Nigeria must be great again.
