This one really pained you. Take heart.

It is only in the north that hundreds of people will be kidnapped in a single operation.

It is only a vandalized brain that will say southeast and north are on same level in terms of insecurity.

I am from the SE and I disagree with that crappy statistics. SW is still safer.

You have discernment

I hope you use it well


Nice observation

LandMann:
NBS has come out with another divisive propaganda statistics to confuse and bamboozle Nigerians and many people are falling for it

NBS reports that south east has lowest security incident report at around 7 million, while northwest has highest at around 14 million.

At first glance you'll think southeast is relatively safer than northwest. Wait! Take a closer look...

Southeast population is around 30 million while northwest population is around 60 million.

If you compute security incidence per capita for both region you'll get.

Southeast = 7 million/30 million = 23.33%

Northwest = 14 million/60 million = 23.33%

You see that both regions has same level of security incidence relative to their population size?

This means non of the region is better than the other in terms of security or insecurity, whichever you prefer. Tinubu's government is still failing woefully in terms of security across Nigeria.

NBS is the chief propaganda machine of every corrupt administration in Nigeria. They'll try to deceive you but always stay on guard.

If NBS can report that inflation is 35% when inflation is actually over 150%, there's nothing they can't lie about.

Many of them are not educated so they wont understand this simple point. Watch as they start to wail.
