Outdated Yoruba newspaper quoting stale statistics
Their source is old,i read it.

The proportion of people living in poverty in the
South East region rose from 13 percent in
1980 to 53 percent in 1996, before falling back to 27 percent in 2004. In the South West,
the poverty rate was 43 percent in 2004, up from 13.4 percent in 1980.
The South East’s infant and child mortality rates, at 66 and 103, respectively, are the lowest
of Nigeria’s six regions.

Not surprisingly, the region also exhibits the highest immunization
coverage among children ages 12 to 23 months (45 percent fully vaccinated), the lowest
percentage of children under age five who are stunted (20 percent), and, among women
giving birth, the highest percentage who receive antenatal care from a health professional
(96 percent), two or more doses of tetanus toxoid (77 percent), and assistance by a health
professional during the birth (88 percent).

Poverty rate is 43% in SW
and 27% in SE

eaglechild: I don't get all the noise about IGR.

The SE has the lowest poverty rate.
The north has the highest, followed by the SW, so where is all the ghost IGR going?

Please beg your government to use their ghost IGR to empower your poor populace.

TATISTICIAN GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION, DR. YEMI KALE

Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics

I'm not interested in your old and bogus 419 nonsense by unknown and unqualified entities. Give my something current complied by the people the taxpayers of Nigerian pay to collect such data.

eeeeeee:

What i gave you is from the British council not some uninformed newspaper journalist.
Thanks.

Kale said the South-West geo-political zone recorded the lowest with 59.1 per cent. .

Thanks for providing the recent stats.
Almost half of SWesterners live in abject poverty.

Imagine what happens if Lagos which has Igbo as the predominantly rich percentage is removed, then poverty rate will be about 80%.

They're still enjoying the loots of the civil!

agbameta:


Coming from you parasites daily trooping to other people's land for survival and sustenance. You ever asked yourself why your forefathers left your land and why generations later are still leaving and heading to Yoruba land with the same parasitic culture?

Btw who is we? Everybody dey talk, dog too yell for attention...smh..

shine eye: is it lagos? osun boy your dry hot state generate merely 200 million naira a month na that one dey enter ur head?

collynzo2: Ondo (revenue, N10.1 billion; salaries, N48 billion) = N 38 billion deficit.
Ekiti (salaries N24 billion, revenue N3. = N21.8 billion deficit.
Osun (salaries N22.8 billion, revenue N5
billion) = N17.8 billion deficit.
Oyo (salaries N49 billion, revenue N14
billion) = N 35 billion deficit.
.
Abia (salaries, N30 billion; revenue, N3
billion) = N27 billion deficit.
Anambra (revenue, N6.1 billion; salaries, N16.3 billion) = N10.2 billion deficit
Ebonyi (salaries, N16.8 billion; revenue, N14 billion) = N2.8 billion deficit
Imo (revenue N6.8 billion, salaries N22.8
billion) = N16 billion deficit

agbameta:


Is poor state of Osun the reason why your forefathers left your land for Yoruba land and you and many generations are still leaving for Yoruba land?

Is poor state of Osun the reason why the same Osun state is richer than your erosion ravage and worthless wasteland?

Is the poor state of Osun the reason why Osun is building a new airport from scratch while you beggars end up with a run down repainted old airstrip

Let me tell you clueless dullards something about poverty.


When you leave the comfort of your own home and environment to seek survival elsewhere, it means you are poor while the people you go to are are not because they have more than enough buying power to buy from you and keep you alive.

Only mad and insane people go to poor places for greener pastures, not that we don't think you people are crazy anyways...

phase1:

If i agree with your bolded that Igbos are crazy...aren't you also implying that you are poor...just saying. I mean this is logic here

Logic1:mad people go to poor places for greener pasture
Logic2: Igbos are crazy.
Logic3:Igbos go to yorubaland for greener pastures
Full Logic: Yorubas are poor.

na your mouth talk am o...no b me.

pazienza:

Now,this puts things in perspective,and reinforces the fact that ndigbo depends less on their government as shown by the relative lower salaries of our states,and also frown at taxation by their govt as shown by the relatively lesser IGR by our states.

Dem burrows: Too bad. come to think of it those same loud mouthed lazy governors will still use same free money gotten from the federal gov to pay the press to insult the president anyhow. The problem Nigeria is having is our leaders especially the state governors.

Pangea: On behalf of the Lagosians
We have President Obasanjo to thank for this deliverance
Baba, we hail you for weaning Lagos off, the addictive oyel largesse that turns arable land to desert, wiped off the groundnut pyramids, removed Nigeria from the list of cocoa exporting nation and single handedly turn the country into a beggar nation

Kudos to Tinubu and Obasanjo

A lesson to GEJ
Please give the other governors the Obasanjo-Tinubu treatment,
Withdraw this highly addictive and incapacitating drug called OYEL

Reading and comprehension should have been part of your village education..


Ode, you are there because Yorubaland is not poor and if the place is poor, why are you there? Are you mad and crazy that you prefer to leave the comfort of your own home just go go and suffer in a poverty stricken land? Are you mad and crazy?

Why go there if the place is poor?


I know many of you are too dumb and retarded to see the idiocy and absurdities in all the unintelligent and pathetic nonsense you spew.

You are crazy anyways means regardless of your dumb reasons for going to poor places for survival, you are still crazy.







“But I think the basic issue Aka Ikenga must address is why people feel compelled to immigrate from one part of the country to the other? Is it the case that some lack the resources to develop or perhaps some parts are endowed with enormous resources but not adequately managed?
