BlowYourMind:
South East don't need investment, investment cannot bring as much money drug trafficking, scamming and swindling will bring

Drug trafficking.

Brothels

Baby factories.

They bring more IGR than the United States of America

Chimookigwe:
When they burnt half a dozen Dangote trucks the other day during Ipob protests, they didn't know there would be consequences.
Only a fool would waste money investing in the SE. Even the Commissioner for Information of Anambra state has run out of Igboland. He currently lives in Lagos.

What? Is this true?

Maduawuchukwu:
From this article, even the North west attracted lesser investments than the Soutj East. Most of the investments coming into Nigeria ends up in the Lagos/Ogun axis. This is because of the Status of Lagos as Nigera's commercial capital and not as a result of any enabling environment put in place by the state governments. Lagos does not have an enabling environment for business. Look at how the LASG destroyed Gokada's business and is on track to hamper the operations of Uber and Bolt. Did the actions of the state Governement reflect one that consciously puts in place good government policies? Do all the harassment from touts and endless gridlocks reflect a government that is serious about promoting investments? Lagos attracts investment because of their status and not because of any State government policy. Ogun state is merely a beneficiary of proximity to Lagos.

Lagos is COMMERCIAL CAPITAL.. yet has no 'enabling environment'
Lagos attract investment because of her status ......And ogun state is a beneficiary because of close proximity



You ended up saying nothing but contradicting yourself.

kettykin:
Audio FDI.the problem with this statistics is the only checked foreign investment inflow and not internal investment inflow

But the news is STRICTLY about FDI, and not domestic investments. Even the title says so.

What a loss

IvarTheBoneless:


AfonjaConehead right now...

Dude, this is about SE( your region) having the least FDI investments and investors not SW.
You are being funny or what? Who should be more pained and hurt here? I am from the SW doorh! The region with the highest FDI . Lool

What an irony.

Edited, you are not an ipod like i thought.

Cheers

We must keep marching on.

Marching to where exactly...?

Southwest $81,808,183,342.05 (87.70%wink; South-South, $470,688,204.67 (0.50%); North Central, $10,732,800,098.87 (11.51%); North east, $ 39,414,980.00 (0.04%); and Northwest, $29,959,790 (0.03%).
[b][/b]South east, $203,898,690 million and representing just less than one percent (0.22%)
Don't understand why pointing at southeast only

Chimookigwe:
Looking at the comments on this thread, I see why the South East has nothing to show.

25% of Igbos are blaming others, 20% are living in denial, 5% are sensible enough to shut up and the remaining 50% are busy hawking gala at Ojuelegba. They would be back in the evening to insult "Tilumbu".

Hahaha, you are fantabulous.

gwafaeziokwu:


See love. Yoruba youths have finally lost it. So foreign investment is the new gold?

Simply wow. Even the biggest countries of the world have so been due to large foreign investment on their soil and ease of doing business.

Igbos are great business minded people and all but dey talk true small small na, he no go kill you.

We must keep marching on. More investments, security of lives and property, better infrastructure and well funded educational institutions. Health care for all.
The DAWN agenda must be our guide.

kettykin:

Read the topic.

BeLookingIDIOT:
The SW always first and SE always last in everything positive

Stop being a mumu, the SW is not the issue, The Fulani and the north are the issue...

Most investment has gone up there due to their commander in chief..

gwafaeziokwu:

Wow!!

Ndigbo biko, never leave your indigenous economic model and start listening to these people who love owambe more than anything. We are not cut from the same stock abeg. Leave us with our economic model. You like the easy way out, while we like to work it out! While one enslaves you forever, the other make you eternal boss!

Few years ago ,you guys laughed at our apprentice model as if we pooed on our trousers, today it is been studied in major universities in the world. Ndiigbo and their future generations has locked down wealth through it.

Today, it's FDI. You guys don't get it. WE ARE THE FU**ING DIRECT INVESTMENT FOR CHRIST SAKE.
Our wealth is spread out to all nations of the world. All we need do is to bring it back. That is our drive. Aku luo uno!! Let our wealth reach home and we are fine.

See this mugus.

Thank you.

Hhh

Simple and short. Lagos is overflowing with providential abundance. The government does nothing but spend and embezzle from his abundance. Just like Nigeria of the 70s.

Find me a local investor doing something on the scale of this: https://www.awkamillenniumcity.com/
In Yorubaland (outside Lagos).

Don't mind the naysayers... people are quietly doing things, without making noise. Are we where we want to be? Not yet. But they better believe we are improving on a daily basis.

Nevertheless, I don't approve of all the regional bashing, and would rather we just concentrate on building and improving. We need continuous investments in all regions (which is happening), so that we're not all crammed into Lagos to look for opportunity.

Let FDI go to where it's needed and useful, and let internal investment go where it's needed.

Problem identify is problem solved. SE will someday be a great region.

Even if it's owned by Yoloba .. Or Congolese or even Fulani are these not verified facts compiled by....

Citing data from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN).

Let's face it, it is what it is, it doesn't matter where the news emanated from.

Read the wrote up very well. Even your leaders are concerned.

which useless leaders are u talking about? Lack of foriegn and local investment in the eastern region is as a result of lack federal institutions in the region, no single federal investment in the whole of eastern region. No region developed by its self .but we don't like telling ourselves the truth in this part of the world.

Kindda agree with you.

Those activities are money spinners.
