Do we really need fact check on Soludo's statement?
Who else should know more about Obi's performance and records in office than his brother/successor,an erudite professor of economics with higher intellect & capacity.

Even Obi himself can't disprove the fact of the matter as he was made to be humbled by Soludo's statement of fact.

I reteirate that Obi is a packaged scam and sham that shouldn't be given an opportunity to govern a complex country like nigeria with hydra-headed challenges in our desperate quest for a 'New Nigeria'.
Nigeria is beyond Obi's capacity, competence and scope in all ramifications.

Your education is a waste.
Intellect without character,your education fees should have been invested on a poutry business.,aleast chickens don't talk non to talk of talking rubbish all in the name of self interest politics

Soludo has become a nuisance already all over the place, guy should put hand on deck and do his job to get it right rather than attacking and apportioning blames.

He should let his performance do the talking, after his 4 or 8 yrs tenure he can at least hav what to use to rant

Why can't the muslim mod show us the poverty rate of Lagos in the same state? Let's check something.

So with this now if Peter Obi becomes president he might make poverty level worse than that of Buhari.

pinkPUSSY:
This one is not hiding his bigotry anymore..

Waking up in the morning the ist thing he did is opening a thread against Peter Obi by 5am, whereas his candidate Tinubu has a lot of incredible dirty loads on his neck, of course this thread is heading to fp..

I thought the owner of this forum told us those days that mods are not biased..

Very unfortunate!!..

BUT ONE THING I AM ASSURING YOU IS THAT TINUBU CAN NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY WITH THIS CURRENT SETTINGS, KNOW THIS AND KNOW PEACE

But it will not be too early, if the news was about Tinubu?
Nothing ever work under your Pandora fraud. He did next to nothing and we will continue to expose the fraud

Mynd44:
Former Central Bank Of Nigeria and Present Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo in an article titled "History beckons and I will not be silent " wrote about the poverty level of Anambra state from 2006 to 2010 while the present Presidential Candidate of the Labor Party, Peter Obi was in his first term as governor of Anambra state.

In an article which many described as either very needless as they claimed Charles Soludo is merely bitter and angry, others praised it as they said it brought into public light numerous false misconceptions by Peter Obi's supporters.

Either way, his comment on the statistics of the poverty level in Anambra, got tongues wagging and fingers typing (mine included) and a lot of people have said the former CBN governor simply lied (but did he?)

Claim: Charles Soludo wrote that "…poverty in Anambra actually grew (from less than 25% in 2005) to about 53% under Peter Obi in 2010/2011 but fell under Willie Obiano to 14.78% in 2020. Yes, poverty more than doubled under Peter Obi and more than 50% of Ndi Anambra were in poverty under him. Go and verify"

This isn't all as he had wrote something similar in 2015 in an article titled "Buhari vs Jonathan: Beyond the Election" where he wrote that "According to the National Bureau of Statistics, poverty rose under his watch in Anambra from 20% in 2004 (lowest in Nigeria then) to 68% in 2010 (a 238% deterioration!)."

These two quotes seem similar but can also be be different as the numbers dont match but if we look closely, in the 2022 letter, he mentioned 2010/2011 which was mostly measured in 2011 and in the 2015 letter, he was specific about the year 2010.

Verification: According to a press briefing By then Statistician General of the federation and lead of the National Bureau of Statistics, Yemi Kale in a press briefing titled "Press Briefing By The Statistician-General Of The Federation/Chief Executive
Officer, National Bureau Of Statictics Dr. Yemi Kale" delivered in February 2012.

Now since the NBS does not release poverty levels per years, we can only judge with the 2010 report

It is seen that the poverty level of Anambra state as at 2010 was at 68% (see image below) which matches the value quoted by Professor Charles Soludo in his 2015 article.

Verdict: The statement by the Anambra state governor, Professor Soludo claiming that the poverty level in Anambra while Peter Obi was governor rose to 68% in 2010 and 53% in 2010/2011 can be said to be true and not an exaggeration.


Also notable is that when Peter Obi responded to Professor Soludo in 2015, he did not refute the poverty percentage.

Mynd44 so you are an urchin

Pls kindly help us verify the poverty rate of Lagos as at the time Theiffnubu was governor.
Also confirm for us if he's actually into drugs. And also how much of Lagos state fund goes into his private account.
Since you are now a research fellow of Nairaland Institute of Obi Affairs

If this report proves anything, it shows soludo is not as wise as everyone paints him to be... The 2006-2010 tenure of governor peter obi was tainted with impeachment, court injunctions, insecurity etc... As a result there was no consistency in economic policies and stability was impossible..It is only reasonable that this happens.

However it takes a genius to crash poverty rate that fast in next ten years and making it lower than it was in 2005... That genius is Gov peter obi, how do I know?? by achieving the MDG goals, creating an investable environment and also frugal management of government resources he brought a positive outlook to the anambra state government economic figures and as we know when the economy outlook improves, poverty reduces.

Mynd44:

I don't hate people, I really don't care about Peter Obi.

I simply fact checked something Soludo.

Now if you want to counter what I wrote and prove me wrong do so.

Solido said according to the NBS…….
I checked the NBS and found it true…

If another agency said something else, it is their problem and not mine.

Can you provide the statistics of the whole country because the last time I checked, in a country structured like ours poverty is a function of macro economics which is the exclusive purview of the Federal Government.

People get wealthy or poor more or less evenly across the country. Inflation, purchasing power, wages, etc which determines the index are almost equal from north to south, east to west

Who dey measure,what is the poverty rate from when apc pick Nigeria and now

Please share the data for 2015 and the NBS figures of 14.8 % under Obiano complete the fact check

No amount of revisionist history will change the fact that Pandora pathological liar Obi tuary was a failed Governor.

Mynd44:

You can only fact check what was said.

Celeste said the poverty figure in 2010 was 68% it is true.

What it was in 2014 is out of the scope of this.

The governor actually said it grew from 25% to more than 50% from 2006 to 2010.

Wouldnt it be better if you give statistics of 2006?

But 68% poverty, are people that poor in Nigeria?

If poverty was less than 15% in 2006 and rose to 68% then 53% in 2011.

Is that an increase or reduction?

Again, mastering english

Where did you get your useless 15% in 2006?

Show your source. Bigot

APC mod. I have always known you to be partisan... Well,this your post can never change the minds of sane Nigerians. If it is not Obi,it should be Atiku,your god tinubu can never be president insha Allah.

I don’t know the parameters they use to measure this poverty. But one thing I noticed during his tenure was that every end for siphoning fund by officials and politicians in Anambra was dangerously blocked . Politicians and government officials were depending on their salaries. No new cars , new houses as proceeds of corruption.
