Business owners are counted too, they are categorized as employed if I am not wrong. That is why I put up the definition of employment rate given by NBS.

And please stop that statement that Igbos are business owner, what about the other tribes? You mean other tribes don't own business also.

Do you mean the Yorubas don own business too? Or what exactly do you mean by Igbo own business?

That is a flawed reasoning and stop giving statistics with no verifiable facts.

ahaz:
but the last time we checked no south east state has been reported queing up for rice due to improvised labour force..pls don't give me the aba kerosine defiance that's just a political stunt by the governor.
The fact remains that business owners are not actually captured cos if you go to Onitsha more than 80 percent of the population are are traders..aba is the city with the largest concentration of smes in Nigeria.so tell me how will such a region be that unemployed according to your oluwole statistics..After all 90 percent of the businesses in america are smes does that reflect too as unemployment?
The statistics you posted here is actually talking of the labour force according to states so if you say the south west employ more civil servants that I agree but not in the area of self employment cos your governments knows an average Yoruba man is not business inclined so no offence Oga its only a stranger will argue over the Igbo's domination of SNES in Nigeria and such a region can not be described as a grossly unemployed region..civil service yes,..self poyment capital no.

Keep decieving yourself that you SELF CREATED Graphs you tried to pass off as NBS work actually correspond with what NBS provided.

Hell even by your own report you provided inaccurate figure of Niggeria unemployment rate I'm guessing by your own calculation (21.2%) in comparison to what NBS actually reported (35.2%)


As far as we all know that graph you posted was made and created by YOU. I could careless about your self reported figures

Iblad0994:


Another IPOB Bureau of Statistics statement. Self employed Ko, self unemployed ni

mrvitalis:
Blah blah lets go to regional government lets see

Iblad0994:


Everyone already knew we have informal sector, but you guys always come online to acknowledge the fact that the Nigeria unemployment rate is 23.1% and the world as a whole use that metrics in judging Nigeria. ( So why the mention of informal sector this time around)

Most nation have their own inefficiencies and that always reflect in the unemployment index when reported, you can't just use some slight variation in the figure in the case of informal sector as a determinant to say the figures are totally wrong.

Also, how did some of the guys up there come up with the conclusion that only SE does business and hence that justifies why they had a higer unemployment rate. My question is that what about other regions? Do you mean they captured the informal sectors of other region in the metrics and purposely left the SE region informal sector? Or do you mean other regions don't have the informal sectors?

If we are going by your analogy of informal sector to condemn the statistics, then it will be good to condemn all statistics when they say Nigeria has one of the highest unemployment rate in the world.

Iblad0994:
I am going through the National Bureau of Statistics website and I pulled out the Unemployment data to analyze and below are my findings:

The South-South region even with all the bogus federal allocation still remains the zone with the highest unemployment rate. In actual fact, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa-Ibom are the three states with the most unemployment rate in Nigeria.

The South-West zone is the region with the lowest unemployment rate and in actual fact Osun, Oyo, and Ondo are the states with the lowest unemployment rate in Nigeria.

The South-East region trails behind the SW, NW, and NC in terms of unemployment index.

Note: According to NBS:
A person is regarded as employed if he/she is engaged in the production of goods and services, thereby contributing to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in a legitimate manner (Scammers, Yahoo boys, Drug dealers, and other lilegit works are not included).

The unemployment rate is the proportion of those in the labor force, who were actively looking for work but could not find work for at least 20 hours during the reference period. You are unemployed if you did nothing absolutely nothing at all, or did something but for less than 20hours during the week.

Igbo are their 50% ipob statistics

Ikeg1:


I'm already aware of that. When I used to believe in Nigeria, I did papers continuously on the country since it was easier for me to research that country. I actually believed the statistics they were bringing until actually after joining this forum. I recalled one individual on this forum exposed how Niggeria fabricates their numbers on Cocoa exportation. Even though, the topic resulted to tribal fights, it actually took me my shock that a country will actually fabricate their numbers and literally post it even though it's easily discoverable by comparing figures of countries that ranked higher than them in production of the product. It was ridiculous to me. After that, in the last project I ever did on Nigeria, I actually contacted each number provided by NBS for each state to get an overview of how they arrived to their figure. I swear on everything I hold dear, not one fucking state, one single state could actually explain how they concluded to the numbers they gave. I swear on everything I hold dear. I doubt anything posted by them have been factual for years.

Heck on this same forum, I recall someone posted the last statistics conducted by British on Niggeria's population. Ironically, if my memory serves me right, the North had the least populace on that graph if my memory serves me right. After that, the first stats done by Nigerians, the North population sky rocketed by only God knows how. Unless the North shaged and birthed like rats, that should have been an impossible figure to reach. That's actually why I stopped listening to any statistics by the Niggerian state or federal government. I don't think they've ever posted anything factual since the British left.

Ikeg1:


In order words despite NBS already posted the unemployment rate for each state in their graph.
You created graph with whatever maths you deemed fit and tried to pass it off as NBS work

Typical!!! That's explains so much.

Yeah NBS already gave us the number we need (despite how infactual it may be) so we are all going to listen to them over a nobody like yourself created and tried to pass off as their report

kotv:


Are you okay? Most people in South South are self employed. The rating for unemployment does not include self employment. Are you okay?

kotv:


Thank you for exposing the fraud. Yoruba people have the tendency to fabricate rubbish and post as accurate just so they can compete. Very low self-esteem, inferiority filled people. I don't see anyone in SS being decieved with foods or money for political appointments as much as they are by their politicians. No SS stand in line for hours to collect rice, garri, oil or groundnut as much as they do yet, they are repeating comparing themselves to others, instead of fixing the mess in their area. Thank you for exposing the fraud. Let them continue to fabricate and create graphs to lie about their reality.

Iblad0994:


Lol @ the bolded. The guy you are thanking is actually wrong coz I wouldn't want to use a vulgar statement. Nigeria unemployment rate as at 2018- Q3 is [b]23.1 [/b]and that is exactly what is reflected on my chart. He is quoting a different figure of >30 which showed he is totally wrong.

Iblad0994:


What is their occupation please since you claimed most of them are self employed. What are the South South guys known for?

I am willing to learn.

kotv:


What I do for a living is not your concern. You're suffering from inferiority complex that's your problem. Fabricate more graphs to serve your complex.

kotv:


He quoted NBS and you provided a report by Cnbcafrica saying he's wrong. You are not okay. He exposed you for the fraud that you are.

Iblad0994:

IITTA50:
Shut up.

Iblad0994:


Haha You guys are really funny, you came here to say MOST South-south people are self employed, I asked you what are they known for, what kind of occupation are they MOSTLY known for, and you are telling me I have inferiority complex?

Bro do you even know the meaning of Inferiority complex and how does that even correlate with the point of discourse?

Iblad0994:


You must be a comedian. According to NBS with the image attached below, the unemployment rate of Nigeria in Q3 - 2018 is 23.1.

The shaded text clearly showed that. Anything else you wanna deny?

kotv:


He's actually right. You do have a reading comprehension problem. If you couldn't understand why I mentioned you have an inferiority complex then you are really dense

Iblad0994:


How will someone greater than you have an inferiority complex? What is the south-South people known for please? Beside the crude oil what else are they known for? What are the human resources that SS region has? Why will I be even discussing with you about inferiority complex when I am from the great Yoruba tribe.

By Definition: An inferiority complex consists of feelings of not measuring up to standards, a doubt and uncertainty about oneself, and a lack of self-esteem.

Can you please tell me why you or the guy had to bring inferiority complex into the discussion based on what I wrote earlier?

kotv:


He quoted the unemployment rate inaccurately but, by your own report, and by you two transactions and argument, he proved you are a fraud.
Fabricate more graphs to statisfy your complex

Iblad0994:


Thank God you are also seeing the reality and you can see I am right and the guy is just being aggressive for nothing.

Are you guys okay at all, what do you mean by I am fabricating graphs? Do you know what is called data analytics?

If we are working in the same company and we are presented with the same data-set to analyze, you may use a different dashboard or individual charts different from mine, but the end point is that our data will reflect the same value.

NBS chart and mine reflect the same value. If Vanguard is reporting the unemployment rate, are they going to use the same chart design as NBS or Punch? They will just make sure the figures are correct and they can use any chart to present it (whether Bar chart, Pie Chart, Funnel Chart, etc.)

I will henceforth stop schooling you coz this is starting to drain my brain.

kotv:


NBS chart and mine reflect the same value.

If you actually believe that then you are definitely not okay

Vanguard and all news papers always use NBS graphs. Noone have ever fabricated a graph.

Ikeg1:


I repeat I'm not going to be teaching someone how to understand wtf is literally explained to them by the staticians work.

You indicated that if you are not working you are included in the Labor when NBS mentioned you aren't

""States with a higher propensity for women to be housewives or stay home husbands or that havenegative attitudes to working tend to have lower unemployment rates, as they are not considered part of the labor force in the first place, and as such have no bearing on the rate of unemployment.""

Hell even if this clear quotation confuses you, take a look at what you provided, it equally SAID SO.


I repeat NAUSEATING. Get the hell out of my mentions

Iblad0994:


Did you see this chart from Guardian? They used their own chart and stated that the data source is NBS. They even put their logo on the chart.

Are you trolling me or you’re being serious with the jargons you said up there?

https://m.guardian.ng/features/the-rate-of-unemployment-is-high-but-women-are-the-worst-hit/

kotv:

Your problem isn't just inferiority complex but also reading comprehension. Did the graphs they provide fabricated and does not align with NBS? Work on your problems and definitely your self esteem.

kotv:


He quoted NBS and you provided a report by Cnbcafrica saying he's wrong. You are not okay. He exposed you for the fraud that you are.

oyatz:
You are quick to dismiss posts that don't match your ethnically biased fixed expectations without being patient to read them thoroughly.


Iblad0994 actually qouted NBS (check the lower blue print).
The CnBAfrica website also based their statement on the NBS data.

Iblad0994:


How did you come up with the statistics that Igbos own the most business? Which research or analysis have you carried out to reach that conclusion.

Have you gone around the state in the federation to count the number of businesses to conclude? When you said business are you talking about the self employed only, retail business, wholesale business, agriculture, and etc.
