In Nigeria, old people don't encourage the young... They impose limits on young people.. But the youths are beginning to break those shackles

The United Nations' Global Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index has three dimensions and 10 indicators in estimating Overall Poverty. Each dimension is equally weighted, each indicator within a dimension is also equally weighted, and added. It uses 10 indicators to measure poverty in three dimensions: Education, Health and Living standards. This report was Published in June 2015, and is based on data collected on years between 2004 and 2014.
According to the MPI Report, as at 2010, 46% of Nigerians lived below the national poverty line (Only 28% in Urban areas, and near 70% in The rural). Although a Report by the World bank, released in 2014, showed that only 33% of Nigerians could be considered Poor.

This can be solved just by the exploration of the abundant natural resources in the northern geo-political zones... Will improve the local economy of the states, and translate to a higher standard of living for their indigenes...

Yujin:

I gave you reasons why I doubted Osun's position in my comment. Since you're in support give me reasons why you think Osun should be there.

Your reason was completely anecdotal, i.e, it was formed from your viewpoints and personal experience. The study was a result of compilation and analysis of available and verifiable data, your counter is not. I am not required to defend the findings of this study, if Osun has a higher ranking than Anambra it is as a result of the methodology used. Since you call to question this findings the burden of proof lies on you to show how or why it is flawed empirically or logically.

Let's all remember that this not some beer palour discussion where anyone can make a claim and expect to be believed upfront.

The current Nigeria youths are further strengthening the chains designed by the old criminals. They're more interested in Nairabet and other instant gratification schemes. Our leaders understand this madness, thereby seeing us as tools.

Japan and China are a very prosperous and developed nation. They have leaders with an unrepentant attitude towards nationalism. They're Whites. The average black person hardly thinks beyond his comfort....

Brokenbars:
Abia ranked above most states? im speechlessssss. Entering d state sef, u will see poverty written all over it like billboards. This is my opinion and its not tribalistic

Darling I love the way u put it.
But its not by the town, its all about how much in the pockek of the people in the state.

Why is that guy laughing at Osun?
Some people don't know the difference between a cash strapped government, and a Poor people. ...
Moreover, the Problem with Osun, started when the FG drastically reduced their Federal allocation, to levels not commensurate/Proportional to the state's population.
Again, the data was cumulative between the years 2004-2014... Osun's recent problems with paying Salaries is just a blink, within the time frame of this report.

Point of correction:
Osun State's problem stated when contracts were 'bogusly' awarded to gratify the friends of Mr. Governor from Lagos for their support during the tribunal that brought him on. Imagine planting of flowers along Gbongan-Ibadan road to cost as much as N10m per Km, construction of 1km of dual carriage for N800m/km etc, sponsoring other states APC election. My state wasted a fortune on Ondo, Anambra and Ekiti elections

MKO4ever:
This report is false
Jigawa should take the 1st position
And how can you rate kogi as 26.4% while Kano at 76.4%. I think the reverse should be the case

hw possible, can u compare kano populatn to dt of kogi, where popltn is high, d gross poverty rate will be higher than areas less populated

This supports why Igbos move to the SW to do business. They need customers that'd buy their products.

Theyre in all SW states with their 4X4 shops.

God will bless you.

They lack the mental capacity and intellectual acumen to disprove the methodology and the resultant results with facts, figures and empirical evidences that are verifiable.

According to the report, Osun has lower poverty than Anambra. Any aggrieved person can head to ICC or issue the usual lame ultimatum. This i what i will believe, until i see a contrary report.

Poverty level in Imo State should be about 100 or 200 percent. My people there are living 5ft below poverty line. Imagine a civil service state going 8 months without..... Chai, but it would have been worse if the other man had won the election. Imolites know what I mean. they are surviving on 50 cents per year.

skondo09:

the ratios will be a function of the population of each state.

In absolute figures, a state A might have richer people than state B, but in ratios it might be lesser, which makes state B better and more desirable than state A.

That guy doesn't know the difference between Nationalism and Tribalism...They look alike, seem alike, sometimes have similar outcomes...but they are two radically different concepts!

Does a state have to be 100% Yoruba to be in the South-West?

Very good and intelligent question.

Exactly what Radio Biafra preaches,l.

Gulbis:
. The list is about the individual standards of living,not the wealth of the state. For example,Akwa Ibom is wealthy,but there's lots of poverty there. Osun has no oil,but there's less poverty.

Ose jare

By the time they start mining the gold in Ilesha, Osun will be number one

This thread de sweet me die, imagine a tribe that fought civil war bragging with d pple dat nva fought a single war,, kai!!!! Igbo badoooo!!!! Hardwork pays my bro; we rise from our fall and remain strong!!! We will forever proper!!!

Thanks for this observation. Is it not amazing that the four Igbo states: Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Abia that came back after the Civil war to meet the rubble that was their territory, hunger, poverty, abandoned property etc are all way better than the national average? And those who didn't experience any such set-back are glorying that they are slightly better than Anambra?

Instead of weeping over this assessment, I think the Igbos should take it as a tribute to their enterprise and industry. Who knows? In 5years time, they could be the first five nationwide

Isn't it interesting that SE fought civil war, 60% of their infrastructure destroyed and yet, still rubbing shoulders with other regions,. That tells you that in the next 45 years the standard of living in SE will be ten times better than other regions.

BTW:
Since i was pretty much sure that everyone was going to be complaining about Why their state is not number 1, or why so so and so state should be in the number 6 Position, while their was ranked in 9th ....
Please take your time to read the Parameters of the Report., which includes several factors like Educational attainment levels, Standards of Living, Etc.... This isn't just a purely monetary mode of measuring Poverty.

Do not shift the blame from the governor. he mismanaged his state resources. period.

so united nation visited all the states in Nigeria to compile the list.. them try oo bt I didn't see any of their workers near my street. abi we no follow?

Now I know you know the difference and are just being mischievous!! There is a difference between Sokoto and Nigeria...
