It's not by Size and quantity... Quality and resources has it all.
Subtract is investment and business of most Easterners from some states in Nigeria, those states will naturally turn to Desert.

What is the relevance of this post

Gforce2019:


This question comes to mind that why would Dangote build almost all his access in the Southwest and not southeast or northwest where he comes from....?

DaddyRochie1642:
Lemme see any idiot that'll tell me that Lagos is bigger than Imo Stae again...nonsense

EVILFOREST:

The entire NIGERIAN Nation which you claim is BIG is SMALL my Brother.
CALIFORNIA State in the United states is Half the size of the entire Nigerian Federation.
TEXAS is 2/3rd the size of the entire Nigeria.
ALASKA is bigger than Nigeria+Benin+Togo+Ghana all put together.
These are just 3 STATES ooooo
Yet our Population in Nigeria is chasing that of the United States with the speed of Light.
That's the only DEVELOPMENT we are good at

No doubt the entire SOUTHEAST is small but it's 2 times bigger than Jamaica. .
QUESTION of the DAY:
Now if it's really small, why does the Nigerian Government find it difficult ceding such a small portion to self actualisation with territorial integrity, if they could easily cede a small Bakassi..?

General babangida perform sum sh*t with Niger state

MetaPhysical:


...your response would get good support if it were true that the five states, or the region in itself, is a respectable economic performer.

You must find some other index with which to brand SE, land and economy ranking work against you. Lagos state is a tiny state but economic giant. The whole SW region is the top income earner for Nigeria and also the top culturally diverse society, and in land size the region is the biggest in the South.

So Ibos need to define new brandings, economic or geographic does not work well in your favour.

lucasalves:


yeah pick another story less than 25 years ago Dubai was a desert..

Lamasta:
Land mass is one economic mass is another...

But Niger State is enough to stand as a country with a huge land mass

Lagos state has the least land mass but is enough to sponsor the whole Nigeria budget as small as it is the billions or trillions coming out from there will develop the whole land mass of all Nigeria if there is no corruption.

I think you should check again, because the facts are there. The SW(79665KM²) is not the biggest in the south in terms of land mass. It's the SS(84587KM²).

Please educate us on the places that depend on Lagos port. The silly or assumed dependent on Lagos port is purely idiotic and politics. The moment the shithole ceases to exist, the Lagos will have to compete with others ports in other nation states such as Warri port, Calabar port, Onne port, Bonny port and even Port Harcourt port without any silly federal government of Nigeria's directives.

Dedetwo:


You could be correct. I need to go back to Osogbo and Ogbomosho. I learnt the glorified villages are now flowering cities with plenty of what got me there in the first place.

bigfish3k:

That is why I am also wondering why you people are so angry anytime we want out
Unproductive unity of nigeria is your sole aim and achievement.
You are calling yourselves glue, that u are the ones gluing nigeria together

Dedetwo:


Unfortunately land mass is not one of determinants in actualization of a country. The bolded is a misconception of elementary level. Lagos will collapse if Nigeria disintegrates.


You are from the east
Thats all
Only a fool would say a major port city would collapse during a major war
, take a look at Yemen, Syria, Libya and Somalia
Their port city seems to be the only one that held the country, and the lifeline of the nation
So what rubbish are you talking about you this bl**dy illiterate

Gracchus:
What the fucck do you mean by we are angry because you want Biafra? Pray, tell me, which of our politicians have ever spoken against your Biafra or asked you not to leave? Has any notable traditional ruler ever asked you not to leave? Heck, did we block the road leading to your region and prevented you from leaving? Abi we are the one siting on top your Biafra thereby preventing you from getting? Get this straight to your tick skull, your biafra has no business to an average yoruba man on the street, he knows next to nothing about your biafra, likewise our politicians and traditional rulers don't give a ratass about your biafra, it's non of our business since we don't share land borders with biafra, neither do we share anything together whatsoever.

Dedetwo:


Stop the joke already. Lagos is very empty. The disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria will prove this to you in a hurry.

iHart:
One state is bigger than the whole Biafra

Rolexjerry:


All these Lagosians overhyping Lagos State I tire for una oooo.
Just this morning, someone made a comment on how Lagos State alone could sponsor the whole Nigeria's budget in one of the posts here.
The other day another Lagosian said that Lagos was the state with the largest economy in the entire African continent, I was shocker than Buhari sef because Lagos was not even in the top 5- Lagos is far below Johannesburg, Cape Town, Cairo etc in terms of GDP alone.

Come back to Nigeria, Lagos made an IGR of ₦398 billion in the whole of last year 2019. That amount of money is not even enough to fund Lagos' 2019 budget which was set at over half a trillion Naira.
For your information, Akwa Ibom State alone contributed roughly that amount (₦380 billion) PER MONTH(not per year oooo) to the Nigerian economy in 2019 in the sales of over one hundred and eighty million barrels of crude oil at an average of price of 65 dollars per barrel.

If every state were to survive on their resources, you would notice how Lagos would be struggling to keep up with even the smallest Niger-Delta state.

The most important state to Nigeria's economy is Akwa Ibom State, followed by Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa States.
These four states alone produce over 93% of Nigeria's oil literally catering for the economy needs of the entire country but when we want to talk about financial muscle, only Lagos State comes to the fore.

AKWA IBOM STATE MAKES LAGOS' YEARLY REVENUE IN A MONTH.

Lagos is overhyped, Akwa Ibom is underrated.
