Ezemust: That's the new spirit bro. Do whatever you like outside igbo land. Whenever you have the capacity to build a factory/industry, think igbo land. I will start my factory(oil and flour mill plants) though; on low scale and this will be located in my community. This is what Asia countries are doing. O bu anyi ga aru ba anyi. 2 Likes |

Theevilone:I always laugh when some ignorant people always think igbos living outside the east are better than those at the east,during the lockdown,Igbos in the east didnt stop sending money to Lagos based ones ,and from where i come from every single business, both formal and informal,has a branch in the east. My Aunty is still stuck in the east because of the state border closures and she has gathered up to 75 kg of rice as palliatives that she never asked for....they knock at our gate and deliver things to her ,money inclusive. The same East that my very old grandmother could afford to give me 5k pocked money when i was in school 2 Likes |

Most foolish parent just want thier children to stay with them with no purpose.. wWhen their child gets to 25yrs, the would want the child to go and cater for themselves without any assistance. This is the reason we have many boys claming they are trying to go to school all in the name of being busy. Businessmen now rely on secetary. That is a very bad trend. |

Most Nigerians don't think deeply and only react to issues largely based on superficial (emotional) feelings. 1) The rating is Poverty Index and is NOT opposite of Wealth. 2) The Poverty Index was NOT calculated by the boss of the NBS. 3) Poverty in a particular State is a reflection of the inability of the people in that State to dominate their ENVIRONMENT. This simply means the inability to use what is AVAILABLE in their ENVIRONMENT to solve their basic needs. 4) The ENVIRONMENT of the States are NOT the same, so different methods will have to be used in different States. 5) In Ekiti State: A montaineous region where most residents practice subsistence farming. There are no industries to utilize the available resources into finished products, so poverty will be higher than in Osun. Osun State: A relatively large fertile land that sustained cash crops plantations (Cocoa, Timber and Plantain) with lesser population density. Poultry products and cat fish production which are easily taken to economically bouyant buyers in Ibadan/Lagos ensure some better returns on investment. Proximity to Lagos provides easy access for exportation of some of her agricultural produce. Anambra: Small land mass with high population density. Substantial small and medium scale industries which utilize few locally sourced materials for finished products=> some money for the citizens. How this only works in Nnewi and Onitsha. Sokoto State: A large land mass but with reduced rainfall. Most of the agricultural produce from the State are for local consumption and aren't exported. However there are also so substantial population, many of who only engage in low paying jobs. Most of their women don't work at all. Results= High poverty. In Summary: *The Land And *The population (their number, level of education, skills etc) residing on the land will largely determine the poverty index. nijabazaar: 1 Like |

Actually, it is very possible to think home but with different strategies; Massive Industrialization and Modern commercial Agriculture. 1) Industrialization: Every State had raw materials. Dried Plantain leaves plus starch which are surplus in Ogun, Oyo and Osun State can be used to produce certain types of paper. Kogi and Ekiti States have so many montains which can be sources of raw materials for Jewelries and precious stones. Clay deposits in Anambra, Enugu and Imo States can be raw materials for burnt bricks industries and ceramics industries. Imagine if ALL the ceremic tiles used in Nigeria are produced in Anambra and Enugu States. 2) Modern Commercial Agriculture: we can produce 10 tonnes of cotton from the Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger and Katsina States which along with polyester from our oil refineries can be used to produce 70% of the textiles materials we need in Nigieria and 40% of the vegetable (cotton seed oil) we consume in Nigieria. This is the best way to reduce poverty in the whole of Nigeria. The Southeast has the smallest Landmass with relatively high population (high population density). It will need a different approach to Agriculture like the Israelis are doing. Throwback: |

sage:Another lie, while aba is grappling with poor infrastructure, it's road network has improved steadily in the past years-i expect making fun of aba to be a thing of the past soon. Besides if aba is as rotten and hopeless as you claim, shell, inner galaxy and many other companies wouldn't be building up facilities in the city. Hope you know aba is a highly industrialised city?

superlightning:OP, the poverty index is fake. Those who gave that index lack primary data on what they gave.This is OLUWOLE statistics which of course you know is fat fake. Please go on a research of production in Aba and Onitsha you will know better. Because south east doesn't post fake data does not mean the region is poor. Aside Lagos and Kano no other region can boost of economic activities like Abs and Onitsha. |

Black people always like to give excuses. Manufactured goods in Onitsha are yet to meet the demands of Nigerians around Onitsha, yet you are complaining about sea ports in far away Akwa Ibom and Lagos. Please mention just manufactured 3 items produced in Anambra State that is meeting all the demands for the product in Anambra State. Engine oil, Shoes, Garments, Cement, Vegetable oil, Pharmaceutical produced in Anambra or Abia State aren't even enough for their State consumption and you are complaining that one imaginary FG is preventing you from exporting it with it's high cost. ificatchmodeh: |

The glaringly concocted NBS data is a symptom of Nigeria and not the root cause disease. Its shocking that after receiving billions of naira to give Nigeria planning data, it ends up being politicized that the results are beyond useless. Nigeria is such a sh*thole because it does some abnormal things. Such practicing a weird adulteration of federalism whereby states resources are annexed by the federal government and then redistributed to states using weird formulas and justifications. These are some of the reasons that Nigeria is fundamentally a failed state. Nigeria needs fundamental healing from its foundation. I personally believe its too late and impossible to salvage nigeria. The whole false superstructure needs to dissolve to make way for a workable structure. 3 Likes |

You keep making the same mistakes, your method of assessing poverty is by taking selective pictures of few streets which is NOT the method used by any reputable research institutions. If the NBS statistics are wrong or you feel are manipulated to make your region look bad, the most appropriate it to refute this is by publishing the results of your own research works or that of other reputable organizations like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). horsepower102: |

You are making the same mistake by reacting bassd on emotional feelings. Do you know the methodologies used in the research? What are the factors considered? As per Osun State, what do you exactly know about Osun? Don't look at things just from face values, take time to read the report before reacting. Beautifulminde3: |
Re: Igbos Outside Southeast, Our Region's Poverty Index Is Rising! by oyatz(m): 6:22am On May 08, 2020 |
The answer is simple- The land and people on it. The Land: Osun State has a larger land mass than Enugu State. Most of this land is used to plant Cocoa, Timber ,Cashew and Palm Trees which are producing Agricultural products that are EXPORTED. The Land in Enugu may not be utilized for cash crops production. They plant Ugwu ,maize and cassava for local consumption The People: A significant number of the people in Enugu are employed by Government and it's agencis which are less pronounced in Osun, meaning the people of Osun have to embrace alternative means of livelihood- Agriculture. Poultry and cat fish farming are also widely practiced in Osun State. Proximity to Ibadan/Lagos ensure good market sales. manuelreports: |

Igbos should stop neing emotional about simple issues but rather see them as wake up call like the OP pointed out. If the statistics was talking about people living on less than 1 Dollar a day as their parameter then Southeast and South-south will definitely have the least poverty rate but that gives a skewed definition of poverty because purchasing powers defer according to geographical location. 10k might buy you a goat in Yobe whereas same goat is 30k in Rivers State. I will do a thorough study of the report to understand certain confusing things but for now it's best to treat the report as correct and work towards a better Southeast. 6 Likes |
