The darker your state, the poorer you are, says the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics. If you disagree go to court.

This is the most current poverty study in Nigeria

Poverty in NG in 2022 according to the NG Bureau of Statistics. 133 million people out of 216 million are multidimensionally (health, education, living standards, work, shocks, and child development and survival) poor (MDP).
See who is affected
1. North vs. South: 65% vs. 35%

2. 10 most MDP states (in order of poverty; by %)
Sokoto
Bayelsa
Gombe
Jigawa/Kebbi (tied)
Yobe
Plateau
Taraba
Zamfara
Ebonyi
Borno

3. Katsina (home of the present president) is the 14th poorest State. Shame on Buhari
Ogun, though strategically located close to Lagos is the 17th poorest state. Shame on Ogun

4. 10 least poor (in order of least; by %)
Ondo
Abia/Lagos (tied; Lagos is at least 40% Igbo populated)
Anambra
Ekiti
Edo
Imo
Osun
Delta
Kwara
Oyo
Enugu is number 11 (after Oyo)

From data above, three SE states are among the 10 least poor, 4 out of 5 are in the first 11 least poor. SE is the 5%ters of Buhari. SE is the most federally neglected region in NG.
Bayelsa is a huge surprise; quite disappointing in the MDP. Bayelsa has the lowest population in NG and is not poor by income but very so in MDP. It has lots of fish, aquatics, and oil and gas. Jonathan, the last president, is from Bayelsa. What is the problem?
In that order, Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, and Jigawa have the highest number of poor people. Increased population is the problem. The North must curtail its population. The North always wants to win elections; hence, it indulges in a high human breeding rate. But it is breeding poverty by the tens of millions simultaneously. Yet, northerners have led Nigeria far more than other groups. They have not been able to fix Nigeria. Katsina, is home state of the current president.
Buhari's and Tinubu's Trader Moni did not work. COVID-19 added only 5 million more poor people. So even if you remove COVID-19, poverty rate is still very high. APC has failed woefully. It would be a big disaster to reelect the party.

Why is Ebonyi consistently the poverty capital of the South East? That state is the 9th MOST poor state in NG. In contrast, the other 4 SE states are among the 11th LEAST poor states in NG, with Abia and Anambra ranking 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Why is Ebonyi starkly different from other SE states in this regard?
Ebonyi is a great State that can do way better. God bless Ebonyi

Igboland and everywhere that’s major igbo population looks the brightest

Hmm
133m? That's much

EmeeNaka:
Hmm
133m? That's much

That's the reason no way APC could have won the election. They rigged and INEC selected them. The level of poverty is so much, and Obi gave the right message. Hence, he won the election.

Very detailed data. SE always pulling weight. Igbo kwenu
4 States out of 5 in the first 11.

chaii....that stats realy pained south easterners....everyday a new thread about the same thing....

Even with the marginalization

A very commendable in-depth review and analysis.

SE and SW are tied.
4 out of 5 in SE are in first 11
5 our of 6 in SW are in first 11.

Stop huffing and puffing. 70% of the rich in Lagos are Igbos. Take those away and Lagos is equal to Ogun in poverty.

You guys should stop all these unnecessary chest beating cause in the end,what matters is individual achievement and not joint ethnic wealth

Abuja is also bright on the MAP; guess who owns 70% of the property in Abuja: Igbos. Ask El Rufai.

Lol You are talking about preventing Igbos from voting in Lagos. Have you asked yourself why they prevented Igbos from voting in Lagos? Anyways, you will pay for that in the upcoming Census. Igbos in Lagos won't be counted in Lagos - that's guaranteed. When that happens, you will see how small Yoruba population in Lagos is.

I don't support thuggery but my question is how u bragged before now about your population and domination in Lagos


Its obvious igbos are barely 20% of the whole Lagos population and your domination is confined to just one to two LGA


Other SW States aren't doing badly both in number of Business enterprise(Oyo and Ogun made the top 5 with Rivers and kano) and the rate of poverty per state(Ekiti, Osunand Ondo in top 10)....that too with or without Lagos

Op is a dubious and a fraudster for skewing the data/stats and turning it upside down.

Lmaoo

What's this for earth's sake ?/

4. 10 least poor (in order of least; by %)
Ondo
Abia/Lagos (tied; Lagos is at least 40% Igbo populated)
Anambra
Ekiti
Edo
Imo
Osun
Delta
Kwara
Oyo
Enugu is number 11 (after Oyo)

From the table even an olodo who understand what intensity means will from the table will see why SW was rated the least poverty region.

From the Op source ;

Across the geo-political zones, the child MPI shows higher poverty in the North-East and North-West (where 90% of children are poor) and lower poverty in the South-East and South-West (74% and 65.1% respectively).

They go about shouting igbophobia whereas it's actually Yorubaphobia



I've never seen any Yoruba man pop out from no where trying to brag,compete or compare whatever he has with the Igbos

It's like we do not even see comparison in anything yet these guys are so obsessed that they just wanna rile up a nonexisting competition.... Funny enough, they feel pained knowing they can't measure up in most aspect
