Igbo are among the least populated .

Sampling bias will be skewed against the north

It's not true, the average Igbo state is as populated as any other state apart from Lagos and Kano

Anambra is more populated that Ogun state and over 20 other states in Nigeria, where will the sampling bias come from?

Abia state major challenge remain bad leadership,the people are their own army.

I swear die, the most resilient state in the world. A town my city. You struggle to make it or die trying,we no dey exit window.

Even though there’s a higher number of poor as a percentage of their population in the north….and i mean muslim core north, you’re right that they get a higher level of benefits from the Nigerian state. This is why they like the unitary system of government as presently practised…as well as big government! Building on this point, we can also boldly posit that the Nigerian polity will not be restructured any time soon! What’s helping the south is that they have a better educated populace which presents opportunities over and above that which the central gov’t can provide, hence there’s a better spread of wealth in the south than in the north where its states and population depend mainly on the Nigerian state to get by. What further worsens poverty levels in the north is their uncontrolled high birth rate.

Smug southerners, who love measuring dick with other ethnicities/regions at the slightest opportunity, will read these figures and feel all superior and funky! But with all their sense and education they’re yet to realise how the north uses these type of comparisons to attract more sympathy and funds (both local and foreign) to their region, entrepreneurs and general populace !

Exactly!
Can't put it better..

PHIPEX:
This multidimensional poverty report is scary.

Out of 5 Eastern states, 2 are among Nigeria 5 least porest States. Yet some people believe they are doing the East a favour because the Igbos come to Lagos for business.

What this report is saying is that Abia, Edo and Anambra are as comfortable as Lagos in term of standard of living.

That's why this thread will not hit the front page anytime soon

You spoke my mind. Kudos!
