things weren't more 'affordable' in 2010 than now. the problem with you people is that you don't know how inflation and currency adjustment works. do you think rice was more affordable in the past than now?
children used to celebrate when their mum is cooking rice. Nigerian currency have been readjusted by Nigerians and they have eliminated 5Naira and 10 Naira. Buhari can reciprocate the trick by removing 1 zero from our currency and then a bag of rice will now be 4,500 Naira but he will not do it because he doesn't care about propaganda

copyrites:


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

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..

National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP) is a 2001 program by the Nigerian government addressing poverty in Nigeria and related issues. Otondo

Greyworld:
Can we forget Anambra poverty of 2010 and talk about Nigeria poverty of 2022

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.

Nazgul:
At least in 2010-2011 things were affordable in Nigeria. This is 2022, Buhari has made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world, why isn't anyone talking about that. What's with the constant attack on Peter Obi?

Under Buhari thousands have lost their jobs, and more are still loosing.

Under Buhari Bandits and Boko Haram kills Nigerians like chickens on a daily basis.

Under Buhari inflation has exceeded 200%

Under Buhari corruption has become the order of the day.

Under Buhari accountability has become a Greek word.

So what's with the obession with Peter Obi?

Aufbauh:
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.

kcnwaigbo:
What sort of rubbish is this biko? This APC mod claims the poverty level rose from 68% in 2010 to 53% in 2011.Is this supposed to be as a result of crass illiteracy or just pure mischief?

Is 68% to 53% not supposed to be reduction?

kcnwaigbo:

You did not answer my question

You said Obi increased poverty level in Anambra from 68% in 2010 to 53% in 2011.Is that supposed to be an increase or a reduction?
Besides since you could not access the poverty level prior to 2010 how exactly did you know that it increased in 2010? What percentage was it prior to 2010?

post=118428413:

I know you hate Obi and you are trying all your best through this platform to bull him down but I can assure you that you're wasting your time, how I wish you can conduct same research on Tinubu drug case


Peter Obi responded to this very Report on LBS yesterday. On19 Nov 2010 — Magnus Kpakol who is then incharge of National Poverty Eradication Programme rated Anambra state high as the state with the lowest poverty rate among all the states in the country.

Watch the response from Peter Obi on Lagos business school

ugbarreta:
OP you’re mad! Why didn’t you show the full data with every state in it? Why did you have to cut out Lagos state? Show us the full data for every state let’s see how Tinubu developed Lagos. Here’s the growth indicator for low-middle income earners performance data between Obi, fashola and Tinubu. Can you now see that your Tinubu no see Obi back, nonsense.

naijapips04:


But you are not forgetting Tinubu's drug case of 1990?

GuyWise101:
Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

This Yoro Muslim mod and Apc member is now trying to 'work hard' after Theifnibu disgraced himself in Jos yesterday.

This is a cover up to take away attention from sane minds who wants to question Theifnibu gaffes in Jos yesterday

He wakes up from the sleeplessness night he had because of the theifnibu disgrace yesterday claiming to be fact checking nonsense.


But this wouldn't take away our attention at all.
Did u see 2015, obi is a liar, vote for him because he is from ur side it OK, it all about choice. But note that obi can not make any change he will only make it worse.

femisplash:

NAPEP is a PROGRAMME. A body responsible for implementing sets of programmes towards eradicating poverty while NBS is the national statistical body charged with generating socio- economic data on areas of development. Honestly, the kind of Education they give you Igbos in the SE calls for questioning.

Sltp:
We all know Nigeria doesn't have database. How do they measure poverty levels in Nigeria?

In records that are measurable, we see Anambra rose remarkably how come they performed very badly in those that have no means of measuring them ?

DeTruthh:


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

Peterobi90:
Yet the same Anambra people say he is the best Governor that set the pace of growth..

How come those you claim were in poverty say otherwise?

In that same poverty
- debt was cleared
- no borrowings/loans
- over 30 bridges were built
- over 800km of road was tarred
- teaching hospitals were built
- The state became 1st in education
- cleared its MDG goals
- Received best Governor award
- multiple business spring up with support
- drastic cut in cost of governance
- yet over 75bn left in savings

What do they really means by poverty, maybe it could mean poverty to those that depend on stealing the people collective monies like the drug baron.

xtycool:



Audio governor, he said and stage all you listed by himself.

Mynd44:


I can confidently tell you you do not know the meaning of bigotry

Ozinlex:
Lol....see wetin a mode of a suppose platform wake up this morning to write as if he eats,sleep and wake with Peter Obi in 89% of his brain.

Obi truly their Nightmare

LegendHero:
No need fact checking anything.

From NBS official figure, poverty increases under Peter Obi. Soludo is very correct.

Peter Obi the Pandora clown will never be president.
