I've studied the report and I consider it as biased. If poverty headcount is actualy based on household living on less than 137,000 Naira annually then that of Rivers State which I am very familiar with should be 0% for sure. This report does not deserve much attention but all the same let Igbos think home. 1 Like |

abduljabbar4: The report is very balanced and reflects the reality. My advise is for Imo, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi to work on their states. I totally endorse this NBS report haven studied it thoroughly. 3 Likes

Where did you get this impression that those in the S/west are looking up to Government? How many people in Ode-Ogbolu, Alagbaagba, Okaka, Fiditi, Edunabo, Ajaawa,Ilogbo, Idanre,Ilaro, Iresi,Afao, Ilawe, Owena, Ijero, Iloko, Ifon, Oka-Akoko did any Government reach? Every family love and take care of their people. Churches and wealthy Indigenes of each town distributed foods items to their peoples. Stop staying in Aguleri or Mbaise and be posting wrong information about places you know little or nothing about. Luckymama: 3 Likes |

eduj: So this is your idea of middle class, now I have a better understanding of why you guys think your folks are the richest in the country. In SW here, middle class are those who have their children in high profile schools and institutions, or better still children schooling abroad, these are people who can afford an average of two or three cars, and at least a decent house, not a bungalow. Low class are those artisans, traders, drivers and so on, these groups of people, earned moderate income, they also send their children to pivate primary schools, and public schools for secondary and tetiary education. These groups of people hardly build flats, they build face me I face you, so that they can rent those rooms out to make more money. The last group are labourers, they are unskilled, they work on construction sites, farms and so on, you can hardly see these ones paying any kinds of school fees, they only hustle to feed the children, their children education is in public schools. The upper class are those noveau rich with multiple investment and large work force. 1 Like |

oyatz: Do u have stats to back up ur assertions, or u just rely on ur discretion? I would love to see numbers relating to those two things u scribbled up there. What is the rice production capacity of Ebonyi state, before and after the ban on importation of rice? What special support did the FG provide to ndi Ebonyi, or is it a case of "the lion not wanting to feed on grass, no matter the policy in the jungle"? Also, do same for Innoson and Aba garment patronage. P.S: Before u respond to this, remember the timeline in view is THE PAST FIVE YEARS; ur stats should take cognizance of the state of these ur PoLiCiEs within that period. Then compare |

oyatz: Guys I'm seeing things that beats my imagination on this thread o. Who government epp?, give me beta road make I go do my business. Now I understand why these guys are always angry with the government, their major problem is self entitlement. Government responsibility is to make the environment conducive for bussiness, through the provisions of social armenities, yours is to exploit the benefits. Even at that, the responsibility of the federal government is different from state and local government. From my perspective, the local government is the closest to the people and so must be firing on all cylinders. Nigerians focused more on the federal government while the culprit, the local government is pretending to be stupid. I remembered one local government chair person, a woman to be precise, that woman really did magic at Alimosho in Lagos State here. 1 Like |

I know in Nairaland the tribalism is too much hence some of us prefer to just read and marvel at the quality of thoughts of the supposedly future of the nation. However, I will still speak the truth. As an Igbo young man, the first thing is that we make a lot of noise. We are too noisy and I dare say we are mostly empty. Just imagine people doubting statistics from trained professionals. Beer parlour talk. I see the same loud and ignorant boasting from Onitsha to Owerri to Enugu. We talk and talk with little substance. The statistics released by NBS aligns with those held by organizations like USAID and others. I see some of us Igbos counting the number of new houses as sign of economic growth. Permit me to sound harsh but that is a terribly daft opinion. We think it's by building houses everywhere, building economically useless mansions inside rural villages. Silly houses that produce nothing. We are joking. We should look West and learn. We are quick to shout and insult others, this I find very irritating. Yet the westerners will keep their head down and focus on building sustainable productive businesses. We focus on egotistical projects that are unproductive. We need to understand that houses do not create employment, skills and training needed to lift people out of poverty enmass. Let's us try and be less noisy and learn! 8 Likes 2 Shares |

oyatz:Don't mind him. In Oyo state for instance, the population of the state in around 5 or 6 million(conservatively), and the state has 120k workers in its civil service, that's around 4% of the population, pray, tell me, where are others working? Are the remain 4million plus people begging on the streets It's just useless lies they have told over the years and make it sound like 80%of our people depend on government when in reality, less than 10%in each state of the SW actually work for govt. There was a time they released the list of federal workers per state, guess what, Imo state came top with highest number of workers in the federal Civil service, these are the same people who said SWners depend on government. I guess their definition of being dependent on government is demanding for roads, water, electricity, security etc. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The NBS statistics discredit themselves, by one simple decision. Sample data. The sample size is just over 20,000 people, which is a fraction of the Nigerian populace, whereas universally accepted standards is 20% of a nation's population. Which means, Nigeria's sample size should be at least 40 million people to get an accurate depiction of poverty around the country. Additionally, the credibility of any nations statistical data is tied directly to its corruption perception index, USA and UK for example have several research bodies that all give contradicting results. Just look at the data on coronavirus. It's for this reason why Western nations and institutions, generally discredit or ignore statistical data from corrupt nations like Nigeria. |

I blamed our Governors.. They are so selfish.. We have igbo millionaire loitered everywhere in this country with no direction. How are they planning to bring them home.. What we need now is tight security and an economic plan.. Igbos are slumping down into poverty, this era of social media is not favouring our youths. My uncle refused 4 of his son going for apprenticeship. I wonder how he want them to raise money from various work they are learning. That's a direct ticket to poverty. I guess my voice is nothing |
