Bauchi State Rank 8th Poorest State In Nigeria by AkuYAY: 2:54pm On Nov 11, 2020
YBTC News-Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State on Tuesday said the state now rank 8th most poor state in the country.

Mohammed said this in Bauchi during a ‘Town Hall Meeting with the Senate Committee on Poverty Alleviation and Social Investment Programmes’.

The governor who was represented by his deputy, Alhaji Baba Tela explained that the rate of poverty and social inequalities was caused by the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency in the area.

“As I speak now, Bauchi is ranked 8th most poor state in Nigeria.

“The rate of poverty and social inequalities is sustained by the ongoing conflict with the Boko Haram and the effect of migration in the Northeast which has greatly overstretched our limited resources.

“Data has shown that 83 million Nigerians are now living below the poverty line. It means these figures are considered poor even by our own standard.

“It is now left to all of us to rise up to this challenge, by taking decisive measures to revise this alarming trend,” he said.

Mohammed said the meeting was organised by the state government in collaboration with the senate committee and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.

He further said the essence of the meeting was to map out strategies to maximize the benefits of the programme to the people of Bauchi state and the nation at large.

“No doubt, the components of Social Investment Programmes have tremendously impacted on the academic well-being of our people as we have clearly seen today.

The truth is that NIgeria is EXTREMELY poor. 40+% poverty rate at $1 per day is EXTREME poverty.

Poverty line in Brazil is $3.2. and the poverty rate there is 20%. If Brazil was NIgeria, she will use $1 and have poverty rate will be 5%.

Imagine if NIgeria uses $3 as poverty line. Omo na 80% our poverty go be.

This is not supposed to be news.
A Northern state in poverty should not make news. Like, do they think that anybody is expecting Bauchi to be rich before?
The only thing that can come as shock is if the Governor says that Bauchi is not poor

Keep on breeding children like rabbits. You can never be free from poverty. A young chap of less than 20 years who is a shoe shiner already married and procreating at that age. Before 30 he would be bragging that he has 2 wives or even more with like 15 children. No education formally, no training and the circle continues. Tell me with no productivity, how would you stop poverty? The core north needs to learn from China. Population that is not productive is of no use. And all you guys always attacking each other with tribe is very disgusting. You are just been too imature. I don't know what you gaining from this tribal tirade. Please stop let's always reason maturedly to chart a way forward for our ailing society. Thank you

The formula of northern politicians and elites is simple. Give them religion and steal their common wealth. They deliberately deprive them of quality education so that they will perpetually remain illiterate. The day the northern youths will come to their senses, that day will be the end of poverty in the North. But will that day ever come? Your guess is as good as mine.

The other day crates of beer worth over 200 million naira were destroyed by the Kano state Hisbah commission whereas hotels and beer parlour owners pay tax to the state government from proceeds of the sale of alchohol. The question now is this, if you share in the proceeds that comes from Haram have you not also committee Haram?

I also read online how the northern youths were condemning Rahama Sadau for wearing a beautiful gown that exposes part of her body and they were also castigating the Lady from Niger Republic for participating in a beauty pageant. Are those the priority of the northern youths when bandits, Boko Haram and poverty is ravaging their region?

Also, few days back, the head of the Muslim community worldwide the prince of Saudi Arabia was seen shaking the hands of The German chancellor who is a female and instead of condemning the action of the head of Islam, they were busy attacking CNN Hausa for using that particular picture.

It is high time the northern youths start demanding for quality living before it is too late.

They have refused to develop their states individually and create ideas that will generate revenue internally. They l all depend on oil from the south
