The major factor that caused this is low level or no education at all , therefore the education should made necessary in the North. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

A key factor that keeps poverty high in Nigeria is lack of access to finance. I strongly believe poverty in the south would have diminished so much should the youths and young adults have access to finance that could help their various initiatives in business and entrepreneurship. One key point however that we easily overlook in Nigeria is the fact that states and local governments are not doing anything to empower the people but just incentivize them for electioneering purposes. Most financial commitments to poverty alleviation is cash based and what do a poor man do with money more than to eat! Many youths and young adults in the northern states can still work on the farm if government focus on farming. Uneducated people can still learn to drive tractors or harvesters, can work in food factories etc but government is rather waiting for allocation from the federal and so 37(FCT Inclusive) states are waiting for their monthly handouts draining their creativity on how to confront their problems The people with the lowest poverty are most probably the Igbo because majority are into buying and selling and that also has had negative impact on productivity of the country. For Nigeria to stamp out poverty people must engage in value creating activities including small scale manufacturing like we have in Nnewi, Aba, Ibadan and around Lagos and Kano. Youths must be able to access capital to drive their initiatives to generate value. I often frank at how cabals in the banking sector have cornered opportunities to themselves because whether we accept it or not, you may praise Sanusi Lamido as good CBN Governor, we are still reeling from the poverty that resulted from mass purge in the banking industry during his tenure. The spiral effects still plague the southern part of the country till today coupled with inimical policies that is yet to liberate micro financing after removal of community banks. We should reduce entry barrier to those who may be interested in financing youths initiatives, why must I have 100million to start a microfinance bank? what is micro about 100million? why can't we have Assets Financing Companies and real micro lenders with just a million naira even half a million. If for instance, i intend to fund market women selling vegetables, lending them 50,000 naira can change their lives. Why must our policies in the areas of finance be like Europe or China? Until we realize that strong commitment to taking people out of poverty is in our hands we should prepare for an explosive situation that will consume even the perceived secured rich people. We can tackle poverty by also de-emphasizing inimical cultural norms like marrying four wives, women not working etc and focus on what we have that we can use to move forward, the first I will say is land, even the oil we emphasize so much we don't own the technology but we can start from where our strengths lie which is the land is ours, we have population that can farm, then the question is, how do we get them to work on the farm. From the farm we can look at storage, transports, transformation, selling, exports etc. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=MrStan11 post=86550867] I always laugh when people think that your zone producing president would better the life of people in that area. We have a weak institution that was build along tribal and religious line. That's why Osibanjo is deputizing Buhari, Peter Obi deputizing Atiku. North is lucky that Nigeria has not separated. With this their Boko haram of a thing, Isis will turn to Africa once they are dislodge from Syria, So 87% poverty rate is even a good rate to compare to what the future beholds. I was almost going to agree with you not until you mentioned poverty rate 87%. I am optimistic in Nature yes even in reality considering the little structure we have on ground for instance MSME clinic which is aimed at helping Enterpreneurs and small scale business owners (Note that they contribute to national income) with sistency the poverty rate will drop. |

It's because democracy is a numbers game. Remember that idiot politician from Kano State who was boasting about having 4 wives and 27 children? He is just a typical northerner. By the time you have millions of uneducated, illiterate people living that kind of life, they will always be easy to manipulate by a ruling elite. That is the story of Northern Nigeria. khingTony: 11 Likes |

The North accounted for 87 per cent of all the poor people in Nigeria in 2016, the World Bank has disclosed in a new report. Northern Political Leadership must take their "LONG THROAT" from Niger delta crude oil money and Lagos Vat earning and principally deal with the problems that is resulting in the large scale poverty in the north. TO REDUCE POVERTY IN THE NORTH. THE NORTH MUST ACCEPT RESTRUCTURING AS THIS WILL OPEN THE SPACE FOR THE PEOPLE TO WORK HARD AND VALUE HARD WORK. THE NORTH MUST BE PREPARED TO EARNED TRUE NATIONAL WEALTH NOT MONEY FORCEFULLY GOTTEN BY WAY OF FEDERAL ALLOCATION. For the past 50 years of crude oil exploration in the Niger delta, the north got the LION SHARE by their long stay in government. But the same north abused the office and never used it to develop their own people. Individual only siphoned the money and leave the poor in abject poverty. 6 Likes |
