All three are birds of the same feather...carry goat give yam and carry yam give goat watin be the difference?

I wont blame any one of them for being who he is. They have been heavily influenced by their ethnic and religious background.

Nigeria to me is a mere geographical expression.QED

honeric01: I salute my Igbo bros because they remain the most self-sustaining ethnic group in Nigeria.

Case closed!!! and thank you for waking up from your slumber

Ride on Igbo/Anambra haters

The Federal Government Monday said the statistical analysis done by the former Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, a fortnight ago which placed Anambra State as one of the poorest states in the country with a high rate of unemployment was wrong and contrary to what is on ground and facts with the Federal Office of Statistics.

The Statistician General of the Federation, Dr. Yemi Kale, who expressed displeasure in the analysis during the post flag-off press conference of the states’ Gross Domestic product (GDP) computation for the South-east zone in Awka, said it was statistically wrong to tag Anambra as one of the poorest states in the country given the entrepreneurial abilities of the people. He also said that the state remains one with the lowest unemployment rate in the country because according to him, most of its citizens either create jobs or are employers of labour.

He said the data with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) shows that Anambra State has an unemployment rate of between 10 per cent and 11 per cent which is about that of the United States of America and less than Greece which is about 25 per cent.

“We don’t agree with those data in el-Rufai’s analysis because the indices for calculating the development of an area vary.

“Anambra State has done well in infrastructural development which can attract people to the state because of the development. This can negatively affect the development index of the state. In fact, we can say that the Governor is a victim of his achievements in this regard. So, none experts should be careful in interpreting statistical data,” he said.

Earlier at the flag-off ceremony, Minister/Deputy Chairman of National Planning Commission Dr. Shamsuddeen Usman said the purpose of the flag-off was to sensitise stakeholders on the importance of computation and publication of data on states’ GDP in Nigeria, adding that the GDP is a key barometer for measuring the level of economic activity of any nation.

In his remarks, Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, said his administration had embarked on aggressive development of the state because of long time neglect by past administrations, particularly the rural areas.

manny4life: Well dude, to save the argument any further, you had to win. TBH, it looks like we're hitting roadblock so I guess you had to win. I read ALL your comments, but unfortunately, you did not read mine because I had questions I asked numerously, you never answered.

For instance I wanted to know you own definition of employment, and like I put it" I don't want to know what some schmuck put out there online or an expert opinion and definition" BUT you own definition of employment and gainfully employed. I also asked you to tell me the two components of employment, still nothing... I mean I can go on and no, yet u did not answer. Brother, it comes to a time, I gave up...

Here you go again with your vague input; roadside trade is not helping the country. How do sum up your opinions? When you say it's not helping the country, do you mean economic wise? Have you asked yourself how McDonalds, Subway and the rest started? If 10,000 galas are sold each day, isn't that contributing to the retail portion of GDP? The company manufacturing gala increases production by 10,000 to meet demand thus increasing the production of GDP. When the company buys excess flour and sugar from Dangote, is Dangote not likely to hire more skilled and experienced workers?

Dude, retail is an industry, while selling is a JOB. The medium of sale whether it's online, at home, in your car, at your desk, hotdog cart, ice cream/food vans, whatever is not relevant to the status quo of employment. After all, the folks with carts and vans pay DC taxes, file both federal and state returns and declare if they had employed anyone or not. If you're one person in the business "sole proprietor", if you hired 1person or not, you file paperwork with the state regardless of whether you're a food van or not. Whether you stay in the cart, online or whatever.


Anyway man, I know you will say otherwise, so good luck on your opinion...

@Manny4life: Dude why do you waste precious time making people like Honeric01 relevant..Honeric01 is a nobody.
