timilehing: Being semi-nomadic may be a cultural thing and not necessarily attributable to poverty. There are millions of Chinese indigenes scattered across Sub-Saharan Africa even though Chinese people are definitely not poorer than the average black African. As for who controls most of the cash in Nigeria, the central bank published an article mentioning that the following states control about 90% of Nigeria's cash: Lagos Abia Anambra Rivers Kano Ogun FCT (Abuja) See article Below: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/lagos-6-other-states-control-90-of-cash-transactions-in-nigeria-cbn/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

An American in Vietnam is most probably living there very comfortably, as an expat , a stationed military personnel, or a simple tourist... An Igbo man in Bangladesh or Papua New Guinea is doing what there exactly? ..... Igbos need to change their mentality of 'Anywhere else but home is good for me" 4 Likes |

If nigeria had remained an agricultural led economy like its early days, Ebonyi state would have produce the richest farmers in the east. The type of agro-allied industrustries there will be tremendous and diverse. Ebonyi state produces all types of crops you can think of. That land is very fertile that you dont need fertilizer to grow food. That state alone can produce enough food for the whole South East population and still have surplus for export. Its very sad that they are poor with so much potential. Also they are the only state in southern nigeria that you can mine cooking salt and they have largest deposits. Sad 1 Like |

If you don't know even that boxer you wear now was made in southeast, that suitcase inside your room at the corner, the one use to pack all your cloths was made and bought from southeast. After lagos with respect no any southwest state that can withstand southeast states in terms of industrialisation. In southeast do you know how many places they coupling vehicles? Huh, motorcycles and.....well. |

Lovesdaisied:Your assumptions are dangerously flawed. What makes you think majority of immigrants in Lagos are not poor/add to their poverty rate?? Is there any proof the non-indigenes who are in Lagos only contribute to her wealth and not to her poverty?? This thread only came up for one think and one thing only- to soothe a battered ego. 7 Likes |

jcross19: Listen to stewpid.... The Nigerian state with the highest number of industries is Lagos... by a long shot. Not to mention that a good number of what Nigerians consume is imported.... If the SE was the part of Nigeria making what all Nigerians consume, why isn't it like Germany the export juggernaut by now? considering the fact that there are almost 180 million people in Nigeria, who utilize consumables in their daily lives... Stewpid will always be stewpid. 3 Likes |

omenka: It may also be the reverse that (as in the case with many industrialized nations such as the US) the immigrants may be better off than the natives on average. Even when the native elites presumably run things. Or maybe the immigrants are just as wealthy as the natives. It's a zero sum game arguing about the possibilities so I am treading a neutral path by excluding the state altogether. |

scholes0:this is a problem we have with people that use their finger to think instead of brain. Check my recent post I said exclude lagos with respect no any with southwest state that can withstand or compare to southeast state in terms of industrialisation. Am still saying that boxer you wear now,inner wear you put on,your shoes, and your suit case were all made and bought from southeast. Okay then why are they calling one goods igbo made which have they called yoruba made? Be sincere. |

Lovesdaisied:Still doesn't add up. Are the states in the SE made up exclusively of natives?? Aren't there immigrants there?? If you wanna do stats, do it without bias so you can be taken seriously. The analysis you did is what I would call "Emotional Statistical Evaluation" and the margin of error in such can only be imagined. If we were to play the "zero sum game", why don't we "assume" the sum of the economic activities of the immigrants is zero- meaning, their contribution to the wealth and poverty of Lagos is approximately equal, therefore leaving a net economic effect of "zero". This therefore means the economic indices of the state are nearly entirely due entirely to the activities of the indigenes. I still insist your analysis has no basis in pure statistics. 2 Likes |
Re: Southwest Vs Southeast Poverty Rates from UNDP: A Critical Analysis. by HopeAtHand: 7:08am On Jul 02, 2015 |
scholes0: Interesting point at bolded. Is there a way the wealth of the Igbo population in Lagos can be analysed and then included in the general SEast index? Because it will be insincere to suggest that Yoruba people are the only wealthy people in lagos or the yorubas were the only group accessed by the United Nations report. FYI Am neither Igbo or Yoruba. |
Re: Southwest Vs Southeast Poverty Rates from UNDP: A Critical Analysis. by Nobody: 7:12am On Jul 02, 2015 |
omenka: Lagos State and to an extent FCT are highly diverse with histories that hinge on their being federal capital territories. Lagos even more so by virtue of being Nigeria's capital for close to a century. Try as you might, these peculiar reasons always make it a separate animal. As a matter of fact in the first republic, it was not counted as part of the Western region. All states in Nigeria have a degree of migrant populations but Lagos is especially divergent. I feel like I am repeating myself at this point. |
Re: Southwest Vs Southeast Poverty Rates from UNDP: A Critical Analysis. by scholes0(m): 7:17am On Jul 02, 2015 |
HopeAtHand: There is no way to estimate the Yoruba/Other ethnicities proportion in Lagos.... except based on pure conjecture. my guess would be 50% Yoruba (50% rest of Nigeria and Foreign Nationals)..... how the other 50% is distributed is another guess work. Just pray that the Government includes Ethnicity data in our next population census... else, there is no point even conducting it. 2 Likes |

Lovesdaisied:My grouse is that you are sitting somewhere and trying to shove some poorly juggled figures down people's throats. A respected body carried out a statistical analysis and you who's not administered a single questionnaire to that effect want people to take you more seriously. Why don't you start by showing us demographic figures of Lagos and the SE states and factoring these verified figures into your analysis, then one would take you seriously. Until then, this is just a pile of mumbo jumbo with no substance whatsoever. You did this simply because your ego is bruised by the results of the evaluation. 5 Likes |

Re: Southwest Vs Southeast Poverty Rates from UNDP: A Critical Analysis. by Nobody: 7:33am On Jul 02, 2015 |
What are you on about? The only statistical analysis vouched for by the respected body as per the original thread were the state by state numbers. These exact numbers are what I used in my analysis so I am not sure what you think I am angry with there The regional/tribal bent that followed on that thread was based on the wrong arithmetical assumption: Real vs Weighted average in estimating poverty in each region....which by the way was calculated by a fellow nairaland member in that very thread, and which I discussed aptly here. The only thing in contention is my exclusion of Lagos, an action that appropriately follows the ethnic slant that that thread had taken. Of course Lagos is in the SW! But when we are solely talking about ethnicity as it relates to poverty (again a Nairaland generated discussion) then all bets are off as far as Lagos is concerned. I'm not sure about what is confusing. omenka: |
Re: Southwest Vs Southeast Poverty Rates from UNDP: A Critical Analysis. by HopeAtHand: 7:35am On Jul 02, 2015 |
scholes0: That was why the Op decided that Lagos be set aside when comparing the SEast and SWest indices because including Lagos will amount to including Hausa, Igbo, Ibibio, et al into general Yoruba index. The ethnicity thing should be included in next census..The FG is only being mischievous if it claims not to know that Nigeria is not France and ethnicity plays a major role in all spheres of our society. It helps to get a more accurate breakdown of statistics. |
