So why did you single out the one se and sw? Most igbos are business owners. Even most igbo graduates are business owners.

Iblad0994:


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.

Leave them....that's their way.

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.

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.

They're all self-employed. I guess u guys don't know the meaning.

Germannig:
50% of the employed in Lagos are already Igbos. So troway this your fake statistics

a4cube:
Nigeria is run on informal economy. 90% of nigerians dont pay tax cos their business activities are not recognised yet you cant classify them as unemployed. That woman selling crayfish at your local market is classified as unemployed but in actual sense of a formal economy she is self employed and must fill her tax at the end of the fiscal yr.

This your graph shows unemployment rate of SW being higher than those of others. You see what I am talking about. Dagbo olodo

You are an olodo. F9 MATERIAL. Gerrara here. Fake dagbo man

PeaceNexus:
Nigeria as a whole doesn't have any reliable fact on anything.. Not even our population. Any data from the Federal Republic of Nigeria is formulated and not a true representation of the reality but rather a conjecture. Mind you, most of these small businesses are not registered with CAC. So how exactly did they arrive at that ? Through Nigeria population? Through registered businesses? Through tax paid by employed Nigerians in public or private sector or both? We gat no data right in this country. Not even the volume of crude exported that people are employed to monitor.

Well you might be right by your statement about Nigeria not having a reliable data. But at least we should be able to work with the one provided by NBS even if it will be with like 60% confidence.

Do you agree the National unemployment rate is 23.1% according to NBS? Since we know their data might be fake the that means all the unemployment figure we've had sine 1999 till date is fake, and also the world in general is using fake data to judge Nigeria all this while.

Although if your logic seems to be right, then I can confidently say Nigeria unemployment figure will be worse than the 23.1% currently reported by NBS and those of past years might also be worse or what do you think.

izombie:
please don't twist my words. I said "most" igbos. And where did i say yorubas or other tribes do not own business? And if business owners are categorised as employed then that is flawed. That's all i have to say on this topic for now. But i ask again, why did you separate the stats of se and sw from the others?

Ikeg1:
Where the hell do you keep getting your statistics from? This is the second time you posted some Bullshit claiming it came from NBS without providing actual link to back up what you said.

For one the graphs provided by you were NOT posted by NBS in the last statistics posted by them in regards to unemployment.

For two, the unemployment statistics conducted by NBS did not include those that are self employed. The focus was on Labor force which they repeatedly mentioned through out their report. SW had the least unemployment rate because SW had the highest population in Labor force.

For three they did not differentiate between ethnicity in each state meaning SS, SE, North that are employed in SW states are recorded in SW statistics and vice versa for each region. Which one of their fucking disclaimer actually emphasized

"State unemployment is a “moment-in-time” index only and can change quite quickly. It is therefore, advisable to be cautious in comparing trends, particularly amongst States, because of the ease of movement across State borders, as job seekers search for employment or economic opportunities in other states. Favourable conditions in one state may lead to an influx of jobseekers in that state and in the process increasing unemployment in the perfoming state, while reducing the unemployment rate in the originating state. This may give a false impression that the state with the lower unemployment rate is perfoming better."

For four SS did not have the highest unemployment rate. According to NBS report, all three Northern region did.

And for five you neglected to inform everyone that SW is equally having an increase in unemployment excluding Lagos and Ondo in comparison to other regions.

For anyone interested in reading the report, this is the actual REAL report.

This is the second time you created a graph, posted it on NL, and accredited to NBS.
