E no concern me if alaigbo rotten finish since it citizen are more concerned about Yorubaland than the own states.

rdokoye:


I know it's Yorubaland, that's why I said OUTSIDE LAGOS. Another obtuse individual.

Using Lagos, defeats the entire purpose of my argument. The vast majority of Yoruba people, live in those other 5 Yoruba states. That's what I'm trying to draw attention to. There's no infrastructure projects going on in Osogbo, for example.

plaindealer:



Where majority Yoruba people live in the SW doesn't change the fact that Lagos is part of the SW and Yorubaland is home to Yoruba people from every corner of Yorubaland.

I don't know why ibo people love to throw Osun or Osogbo into every discussion to disparage Yoruba people when in fact the same Osogbo produced more infrastructures and is actually doing better than your entire region, even poverty is many times higher in the whole of your region than Osogbo. Ignorance is really a disease.

PROUDIGBO:


See this fool trying to give advice to a people better than him and his entire lineage! Ndigbo might just as well take advice from a deranged lunatic!

You lot have this sad obsession of comparing yourselves economically with Ndigbo, and once you feel ‘one Nigeria’ and its lopsided political-economy has yet again given you a edge over the ‘okoros’, you can go to bed and sleep soundly...safe in the knowledge that all is well, and your ethnicity is making the necessary socio-economic advances expected of it!

You need redemption mate, and it will start from you having the balls to identify with your true ethnicity instead of being a two-faced and shameless impostor!

‘One Nigeria’ is covering up a lot of inadequacies in this country! Imagine using its political-economy (that’s disproportionately favoured you from 1970 to date) to grab advantages for yourself over and above that available to Ndigbo, and then not having the shame to compare yourself with them....a region/group that’s that’s been brought into this ‘competition’ with one arm tied behind its back, while you have the freedom to use both arms!

If you had any sense of fair-play, you’d hang your head in shame!

Is that why Abia government can't clean an ordinary market in Abia?
While others have progress to show their children, it is only excuses and outdated pako furniture you are packaging for yours.

chibede:
with the funds from gala sales they buy your land and pay owo chairman

Chimookigwe:

Even Shuna Ashebe did not type up to this before he started crying for a Nobel Prize.
When you are tired of typing worthless stories, you would go and carry headpan to pack the refuse at Aba and stop waiting for the others to clean your surroundings.
You are crying of marginalisation but tomorrow, you start making noise that you developed the whole world. Why don't you pick up a story and stick to it instead of showing diverse stupidity.

Why investors shun region
• Low returns, poor infrastructure trigger apathy
• Investors attack governors
• We’re doing our best, govs’ forum insists

Omoluabi16:

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.

PigTormentor:
Ok

All these analysis missed the real reason for lack of investment in the SE. Most Igbos with means to purchase these goods don't even live in the SE hence low return on investment. They mostly live in the SW and the North hence money will always go to where their is a good ROI. End of story.

Omoluabi9:
E ma da yen loun. He was just contradicting himself allover the place. He even managed to gather 115 likes! That tells you how delusional those guys are. The question is how did Lagos (and the Yoruba's) built that status.

softeeg:
The local investment there is also investment

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.

TheSparrow:
There are several businesses you can start and run profitably in Nigeria. Below are four that readily comes to mind:

1. Rice Milling: One of the best businesses one can venture into in Nigeria today is parboiled rice production (Rice Milling).

Nigerians currently consume over 5 million metric tons, which is equivalent to over 100 million 50Kg bags of rice annually. With the current population growth rate of Nigeria, the consumption of rice is estimated to reach about 35 million metric tons (700 million 50Kg bags) by the year 2050.

There is high demand for rice in Nigeria. With a population of over 180 million people and an estimated national population growth rate of 5.7% per annum ,an average economic growth rate of 3.5% per annum in the past five {5} years, Nigeria has a large and growing market for rice.

As it stands, the current producers of good quality rice in the country cannot even meet up to 50% of the current demand. This is the reason why the market is flooded with poorly produced and low quality rice.

New entrants into the rice milling industry that can produce good quality parboiled rice will have an evergreen market waiting to be sold to.

2. Drinking Water Production: Another good business that does very well in Nigeria is drinking water production (Bottled water and Sachet Water).


The growth of the middle class in Africa in general, and Nigeria to be specific, has led to a need for hygienically produced and well packaged food products like bottled water.

The market for packaged water is high and cut across all parts of the country. With a population of over one hundred and eighty million (180,000,000) people, and an estimated national population growth is 5.7% per annum, Nigeria has a large and sustainable market for packaged water.

3. Poultry Farming: Poultry farming is yet another business that gives good returns on investment.


Poultry farming has risen to become one of the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria today. This aspect of livestock farming, if set-up and managed properly, provides legitimate continuous income for entrepreneurs within a short period of time. There are over 160 million consumers in Nigeria and over one billion in Africa. This provides a large, growing and sustainable market for poultry farmers in Nigeria, and Africa in general.

4. Pounded Yam Flour Production: Pounded yam flour is another product that you can chose the invest in its production.


Pounded yam is a popular delicacy produced from boiled yam tubers, and is consumed by many people across Africa. However, a lot of people, especially the middle class find it difficult to prepare pounded yam the traditional way which involves boiling yam, pounding it in a mortar using a piston, until it becomes a succulent dough.

The growth of the middle class in Africa in general, and Nigeria to be specific, has led to a need for hygienically processed, easy to prepare and well packaged food products like yam flour.

Wishing you all the best in your quest.

How can investors be attracted to the South East when you deliberately fail to build Federal Government infrastructure in the South East for four decades. Its not rocket science.

This is eye opening. It is a pointer to the type of politics we play in SE, that is, the type of leaders we elect. SE believes so much that they can do everything for themselves and pay little attention to what can be gained from others. Unfortunately lazy leaders like this approach. It gives them opportunity to steal and live the people wallow in their self conceived omnipotence.

Gokada biz,Uber and Bolt can move to other cities in Nigeria like Kano,Kaduna,Onitsha.Lagos is not the only city in Nigeria

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".
