What's the total population of Borno Vs Imo State?

What has employment got to do with population �.

Grandkay21:
Why Anambra, even Delta state here am living that is only the non indigenes are the one working

So Indigenes of Delta State wake up every morning and roam about the streets or sit in their houses doing nothing while the non-indigenes work to provide the daily needs of the Indigenes?

The topic talked about ' numbers' of unemployed Nigerians. This has to do with population.

In places where there are few people , the number of unemployed people will also be few.

KILLTHECOWS:
Those northerners shining shies,are they employed or unemployed?
Asking for a friend.....

They are employed, being employed is not the same as office works or just about white collar jobs or even about being rich.

KILLTHECOWS:
North is this lucrative yet your people see south as their AMERICA..
you can't be telling yourself lies haba.

The guy is correct.

However you need to know that being employed is NOT the same thing as being rich.

The people planting, harvesting and transporting carrots, water melon, tomatoes, groundnuts, sugarcanes, beans, onions, millets pepper and potatoes are all employed but may or may not be rich.

Where did you get such narrative from.
It's all about job opportunities,job creation.
You can have a glamorously populated enclave with nothing to show for it in terms of employment.

Fake news

Anambra ranked lowest in unemployment

The Channels TV news you qouted was about the same NBS statistics but it was for Q2 2020( April-June,2020) and it was about UNDER-EMPLOYMENT which isn't exactly the same thing as unemployment.

Did you read the post at all or you are just commenting based on your preformed opinion (which may actually be valid but not applicable to the topic because it measures something else)?

Yeye analysis,una dey count both people who left their villages come lagos

Hehehehehe

All these Yemi Kales’ Nigerian ‘statistics’ sef! Their only use is for ‘feeling superior, feeling funky and dick measuring’....not much else!

The topic is about the NUMBERS of unemployed Nigerians.

1) State A: Total population= 1000
Unemployed people= 200

2) State-B: Total population= 400
Unemployed people= 100.

Question: Which of the two States above have

a) the highest numbers of unemployed people?

b) the highest unemployment rate?

Oshokalo:

The topic is limited to the numbers of unemployed Nigerians in each State and no data on their villages was collated.

Unemployment is highest where poverty is most prevalent.

Nigerian statistics aren't taken seriously by anyone, and that's for good reason. Too much politics in everything, even something like this, data, which should be used to better the lives of the populace, is used as a tool to belittle portions of the country.

So, supposedly, the most entrepreneurial people, Igbo people, are the most unemployed. That makes no sense whatsoever.

So what are all these people complaining about Igbo people and their wealth, all across Nigeria, threatening to steal Igbo homes and businesses, because according to these stats, such things do not exist.

Oga you are misappropriating this thread.
It's not about how populated the state is, it's the state that has the highest number of jobless people.
So in a nut shell they are not mindful of Borno having 10m people neither are they about IMO having 6m people.
They are saying there are more people without jobs in IMO than in Borno.
Do you agree with this??.

Then why isn't Kano, the most populated state there? Northern Nigeria is one of the poorest regions on earth, yet, everyone has a job? That doesn't make sense.

The problems with most Nairaland commentators about Statistics is that they want the Statistics to reflect their preconceived notions and assumptions (largely fueled by tribal bigotry) by bringing in extraneous issues totally different from what the Statistics really measure or set out to measure.

In plain words,they are saying IMO has 500k jobless people, while Borno has 200k jobless people.
IMO State is in the Top ten most productive states in Nigeria so they should have more job creation than a terror savaged Borno.

Again, the context is different.

The statistics is NOT measuring wealth but the NUMBERS of people unemployed.



I think you first need to ask 'what exactly do them mean by 'unemployed'? You need to read and understand what's the case definition of 'unemployed' Nigerian.

Omoslim26:

It depends on the research methodology.

For instance ,if the definition of unemployed is 'self identification' like asking in a questionnaire ' do you consider yourself employed'?

Some (educated) people in I'm State may tick 'unemployed' because they are yet to get their desired jobs in NNPC, Glo, Zenith Bank even though they are currently helping their brothers to sell goods in the Markets with at least #50K allowance per month.

However in rural Borno where most people don't even consider themselves eligible for white collar jobs, they will say they are employed even if they are actually 'mai suya', Keke drivers, Mai Ruwa, Ginger farmers etc.

Yeye journalist. How u take count ? I dont know about other states o.....but lagos unemployed people is way beyond that stated figure

Lordsonn:
Okay. What of Kano?

Aboki de farm na

6ixT8:


But come to think of it, why are the Yan Chirani(abokiss) massivelymigrating out of the North?

The only Northerners who go to south are either people with no conventional education or Nigeriens. Those from the North mostly go to south after farming, theycome back to North in large numbers the moment it start raining in the north.

Grgton:
i guess unemployment rate is now measured with the number of unemployed cows

These figures for the 10 states, most especially Lagos, is not true. It is far higher than this.

KILLTHECOWS:

Asking for a friend.....

You do realize that they are actually from Niger republic, not northern Nigeria.

Tension532:


You think they're as jobless as ipopigs?

the reason most northern states are not on the list is because they aren't skilled/ uneducated, you can't add the massive uneducated population among the unemployed, this list is probably for graduates who can't find placement.

Ibrahimmrfish:

not so true,the one disposing my dustbin said he is from Hadejia,jigawa state.he even showed me his voters card.

begging and shoe shinning , which is a serious business in Kano , have become something to beat the chest about.you no get sense.

Coronabirus:
Kano is far better than any Nigerian state in terms of youth employability. All Kano metropolis is market, all LGs outside the metropolis have arable, fertile lands for farming. More than 90% of Kano youths are committed to farming or business, this is the same with most Northern states. Any jobless Northerner is the laziest creature on earth.
Farming fetches more money than any other business today in the North. Invest 30k and get 200k+.

you are deceiving your self.so a desert enclave zone is more fertile than the zones watered by multiple rivers and adequate rainfall? better see a doctor for brain check.

Almaigaa:


True talk

but the same north including Kano still remains the poverty headquarters of the whole world.
