Comparing State Prosperity Levels In Nigeria- Osun And Lagos. by lawani: 7:52am On Feb 16, 2017
Osun is more than 7 times the size of Lagos by land area but Lagos would be almost three times the size of Osun in population.

That population size alone is what Lagos beat Osun with. By other indices, Osun is far ahead of Lagos. Both have their internal economies of trade, barbering, tailoring, hairdressing, carpentary, rewire, car mechanics, bricklaying. Table water, menial labor, farming, painting, education, cloth weaving, spare parts manufacturing, bureau de change, and etc. Each of these sectors can be described as a billion dollar industry in its own right. Check out the number of barbers or carpenters, hairdressers or bricklayers who work in their sector, train their children and have landed property and automobiles, then you will understand. Both states are standing well with Osun better off because of less traffic congestion and overall higher living standard than Lagos by far.

If Osun were to be a sovereign country, it would be even better off as embassies of nations open there. If only 50 nations having an average of 20 staff each, that is a boost to the economy. Then if that happens all corporations operating in Osun state will have to incorporate in Osun and have a head office in the state. Such companies will range from telecommunications to banks to mining companies and etc. That too will bring more jobs to the state. Those jobs now are in Lagos. If the population of Lagos is like 21 million, that of Osun will just be shy of 10 million.

It makes me sad to hear people say Osun is poor, Lagos is richer and etc. On what basis? What are the indices being used? What Lagos has more than Osun is population. Osun is an agrarian state. There are a lot of agro allied industries in the state and the state is considerably industrialized as well with resident Europeans, Chinese and etc. Osun on the overall is better, has more prospects and is more prosperous than Lagos save the population and the more serious Lagos government by their IGR kicked off by former Governor Tinubu. More than a third of any money raised by the LASG can be raised in Osun.

Osun produces catfish for Lagos pepper soup joints, produces palm oil, produces PKO for the vegetable oil refineries in Ibadan, produces cocoa, coffee, kolanuts, rice, cassava, vegetables, maize and etc in an industry worth billions of dollars per annum. Osun produces billions of dollars worth of poultry, pig, cattle etc.

There are heavy industries too like the Breweries in Ilesa, then other concerns like plastics, nail manufacturing, spare parts manufacturing and etc. There are big urban centers and the state is second to none by the number of urban centers. Osun is number one in that respect nationwide.

CONCLUSION.

OSUN IS BETTER THAN LAGOS BY WAY OF VIBRANCY OF THE ECONOMY, DEVELOPMENT AND STANDARD OF LIVING BUT LAGOS HAS MORE PEOPLE AND THEREFORE MORE MARKET AND MORE MONEY.

AN IJESA STATE COMPRISING OF THE OLD TERRITORIES OF OSOGBO AND AKURE WILL EVEN BE MORE OF THAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Stop behaving like the Anambra-Imo people,

Whether Lagos-Ogun-Osun-Oyo-Ondo-Ekiti develops,

It is a win-win for the Omoluabis,

We are all developing but at different paces

Please stop!!!

I DONT KNOW HOW TRUE YOUR POSITION IS ABOUT EBONYI'S IGR BEING MORE THAN OSUN'S BUT IGR IS TO DO WITH IF GOVERNMENT WANTS TO COLLECT IT OR NOT. NOT WITH GDP. LAGOS IGR MAYBE 15 TIMES THAT OF KADUNA, THAT DOES NOT MEAN LAGOS GDP IS 15 TIMES THAT OF KADUNA. IT IS TO DO WITH SERIOUSNESS OF GOVERNMENT AND LAGOS IS THE MOST SERIOUS AND LAGOS IS NOT DOING MORE THAN 10 PERCENT OF WHAT LAGOS CAN DO.

This is 2015 figures. Compare Ebonyi and Osun. Ebonyi was last. I wonder what makes people compare Ebonyi and Osun!. Ebonyi is comparable to Ekiti and Yobe!.

ONE CAN COMPARE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT INTELLIGENT. I HAVE SEEN ON FB WHERE PEOPLE BASED IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA GO ON ABOUT HOW A YORUBA STATE WILL DEPEND ON LAGOS!. SO MANY OF YOU TOO ARE MYOPIC AND UNINTELLIGENT LIKE THAT!.

EBONYI IS A POOR STATE. ONE MIGHT SAY THE VALUE OF THE REAL ESTATE ON IFE LAND ALONE WILL SURPASS THAT OF THE WHOLE OF EBONYI STATE IN VALUE.

EBONYI IS CATEGORISED BY POOR AND AS ELDS BY JAMB. EDUCATIONALLY LESS DEVELOPED STATE. THEY HAVE LOW CUT OFFS.
