World Bank Chides Nigeria,
Others over Poor Statistics

The World Bank has decried the quality
and relevance of data from Nigeria and
other African countries, which it
described as largely obsolete.
The bank’s Director, Department of
Economic Policy and Poverty Reduction
Programmes, Africa, Mr. Marcelo
Giugale, stated this in a report e-mailed
to THISDAY at the weekend.
He expressed concern that a lot of
money had been invested in improving
statistics in a lot of countries in the
continent, explaining that most of that
money came as donations from well-
meaning rich countries.
He said a report tagged: ‘Partnership in
Statistics for Development in the 21st
Century,’ had revealed that between
2009 and 2011, Africa received $700
million to build up its capacity to collect
data. He stressed that communication
technology is what would revolutionise
African statistics.
Giugale added: “First, we don't really
know how big (or small) many African
economies are. In about half of them,
the system of “national accounts” dates
back to the 1960s (1968, to be precise);
in the other half, it is from 1993. This
means that measuring things like how
much is produced, consumed or
invested is done with methods from the
times when computers were rare, the
Internet did not exist and nobody spoke
about "globalisation. That is, the
methodology ignores the fact that some
industries have disappeared and new
ones were born.
“How badly does this skew the data?
Well, to give you an idea, when Ghana
used a newer methodology to update
its accounts in 2010, it found out that
its economy was about 60 per cent
bigger than it had previously thought -
and the country instantly became
"middle-income" in the global ranking.
“Second, the latest poverty counts for
Africa are, on average, five years old. So
we only have guesstimates of how the
global financial, food and fuel crises have
impacted the distribution of income,
wealth and opportunities in the region.
This is because, to count the poor, you
need “household surveys” - those face-
to-face, home visits where people are
asked how much they earn, own, know
and so on. In fifteen African countries,
this has been done only once since
2000.”
The World Bank official pointed out that
the advent of technology now allows for
the surveys to be done not only more
frequently, but continuously.
“Industrial surveys are even more
infrequent than household surveys -
only a handful of African countries have
done at least one in the last ten years.
This is a pity! Knowing what your
producers are doing -- and what keeps
them from producing more - is critical if
you want to design policies that increase
employment, productivity and economic
growth.
“To be sure, academics, non-
governmental organisations,
development banks and business
organisations carry out sporadic surveys
of enterprises for one purpose or
another - from understanding how
informal jobs are created to selling
logistical services. But regular,
comprehensive, nation-wide data is, at
best, rare,” he stated.

Tolexander: can u remember you said this?

whereas lansing is the capital of michigan, sacramento for california, springfield for illinois.
Stop exposing your folly on nairaland. Please embrace knowledge.

you are a certified dunce. Keep brandishing wikepedia links as your authoritative news source dummy. You dont want to recognize you are already dancing naaked online olodo. You are an illiterate I repeat. keep disgracing yourself with manufactured figures cooked in ogbomosho and posted online as your credible news source fool. About that you posted above, kindly refer back to the thread and see my replies jobless urchin.

wow.... cray cray. some folks will choke to death this night. Afam congrats... Fresh Air.
Nice one to Seun for finally paying attention to something very long overdue.

Tolexander: eediot! I formulated a figure on wikipaedia?
Just confirmed that your cerebrum is in ur bottom!

ha.. what an iddiot.. we are fast heading into another century and you are still branding wikepedia as your authoritative news source. You just screamed to the whole world you are an illiterate

and this guy as usual manufactures another figures/statistics from his anus.

Tolexander: summarise the gibberish you jst typed

sorry, its not for dummies like you.

when will these clowns stop disturbing us with this their daily noise. while other people have ingeniously found a way to take control of the nations economy, these cry babies want us to babysit them after ingloriously ruling the country for 8 years even without contributing nothing to the center. Anyway this is good for the Afenifere group and the Yoruba nation, their corniness and tribalism has eventually caught up with them.

cockyjay: like i said ealier it's either you're full of hate or you've been living under a rock. That's why you think Fashola has not achieved anything in 6yrs. You're the one full of propaganda.

so what has fashola achieved in 6 years with over 30 billion naira monthly or should I simply refer you to threads where the issue was thrashed Mr. Fashola

cockyjay: there's no point arguing with someone with the highlighted opinion. It's either you're full of hate or you've been living under a rock

you have nothing to say. you are full of propaganda

Rudebwoy: i want ignore some stupid off topic posts above. i am a proud igbo, sincerely i love yoruba more than any other tribe in nigeria.i did my nysc in ondo state and almost married an ondo girl just that we lost contact after my nysc.till now i identify with yoruba peop le anywhere i see them. can one believe that i can speak yoruba fluently and i leanrnt it here in igboland before i went ondo for nysc. we can live in peace if we wish to , for we have better understanding of ourselves than those other poeple who live in the area where boko operate .

you better watch your back before you shoot yourself by yourself.

This writer said Fashola should not allow himself to be compared with Theodore Orji- the worst governor in Nigeria when Fashola is already sharing the podium with Fayemi, Theodore orji, Peter Obi etc as Nigeria's worst and discombobulated governors. After the deflation of his media propaganda, the only thing Fashola can point to as dividends of democracy in 6 years with over 30 billion naira in revenue is the ban of okada for Tinubu's business interest.

van bonattel: We should organize and train a true igbo man from any other state to govern anambra, the fools being shown to us here are all mediocres like peter obi the rich noisemaker.

we are settling for Chukwuma Charles Soludo. Enough of these illiterates

van bonattel: I admire the style of Rochas a lot, very charismatic and energetic form of leadership with a view to make the biggest change possible and to show, not to talk of changes like Obi, who is just talking and talking like a market woman.
At the opposite of Rochas style of leadership is Sullivan, but with same impact on the ground, government is all about delivering on people's expectations and not acting like Peter Obi who thinks he can save the money while the people suffer. The next governor better not be Andy uba or esele, they will just scatter the little money obi may have saved, if he even saved at all.

lol, I see you are really doing justice here so let me step aside but point of correction. Peter Obi is not saving Anambra money, he is lodging it all in his bank fidelity, strengthening the bank as a result and pocketing all profits accruing. Its an open secret. That's why he cannot point to any Mega project he has completed in 8 years nor hold LG elections. The man is a fraud and sadist. How he became governor bewilders me. He has only used the state to run his personal business. He owns Sabmiller in onitsha with statevfunds, he builds malls in Abuja, he owns fidelity. Say what you may about Andy Uba but Andy is million miles ahead of that clown in leadership.

Eko oni baje or Tinubu/Fashola oni baje?

the eko dey baje inside Tinubu pocket

Fashola for president of which country? Lagos State. Its only fools that will consider the bigot and performance by media governor fit for a local govt chairman not to talk of Nigeria president

van bonattel: I understand you, as your kinsman he must have grabbed una lands and bleeped a lot of your relatives. Sorry but Obi is a glorified failure.

My brother andy has done none of that. lol. and then obi is not a glorified failure, he is a plain failure. This explains why he was unable to win a single senatorial seat in the last election with all his rigging and mago mago. From my findings, in the streets of Anambra everybody is disappointed for associating with him in the first place. Ngige could have continued. The state would have gone far. Even the few projects he's managed to deliver are all substandard. Peter obi is a waste of 8 years. His style of governance reeks illiteracy, no vision, greed, selfishness, petty, no plan, no ambition. He is only glorified by his paid sycophants on nairaland.

I'm impressed with my brother Andy uba's work so far going by his projects above. I believe he has good intentions for the state but these myopic people will not give him a chance because of his brother who does not have any effect on him. It should be noted that Andy under 2 weeks in office awarded the contract for Anambra Airport a needful project which the sadist Peter Obi canceled.

Am supporting soludo because he is more pragmatic, exposed and ambitious and am all for the progress of the state. but if he does not enter the ring, Andy has my support. Soludo should take this election seriously

Syncan: I'm at a loss about what to say to you here. Dust? Eliminate dust in Nigeria? Even Abuja is miles away from achieving such a feat. Your idea of no good internal roads is that they are constructed motor able, but single lane and narrow...apart from the fact that residents of half the number of states in the country will give an arm and a leg to have that in their place, have you considered that the number of roads needing rehabilitation and construction in the state, will not allow him waste fund in adequate compensation for demolitions if he had to pull down structures to expand roads. You've called him a thief and vision less in the thread, Imagine what you'll call him had he demolished structures without compensation. Hotels are one star...haba, build two star na and see if it will not stand. Must the government build it for you? Juhel has built a great factory and it's standing, Innoson has built a magnificient industry and it's there. You call queens suits one star right? Ok na. I just dey laugh and vex the same time, I no know what to say to you.

lol... it must really suck trying to defend a non performer.I was once in Awka sometime this year when I arrived Anambra State I was ashamed. Peter Obi should be. ashamed of himself for ruling from that village if he has any dignity. The whole state looks governed by a tout and illiterate. unplanned, no law and order.

Talking about dust, am talking dust from untared roads not weather. So many internal untared road in the state. Even the road to the so called queen suites where I lodged briefly was sorry and dusty. Why has your greedy master refused to conduct LG election in 8 years that would ve aided in grassroot development. If obi is afraid of demolition of illegal structures to restore sanity in the city then he is more daft than I thought. Perhaps you don't know how wide double lane roads can boost a place economically. use the enugu Osha expressway as your case study.

Obi is a failure, visionless and petty minded. Governance is not about painting one classroom block in all schools. Go to Rivers.

the same way you defend fashola, Tinubu and ACN? the indefensibles

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]GEJ don score own goal...... [/quote]you don dey score own goal for nairaland everyday yourself. you have your post.

The Attitude is caused by poverty. There is so much poverty in the land that Nigerians act weird. For instance take their music taste for example. A normal Nigerian will take Terry G/wizard kid's music over Asa and like that.lol.

btw. i disagree with GEJ. When you fight the pervasive corruption in the land Attitude will change. It is not the other way round.

[quote author=tpia@]i think the other igbo propangadists here should follow babyosisi/babymama and ikengawo's examples and open their own anti-igbo threads.

that's the fashionable thing to do around these parts.

otun we osi, osi we otun, oun l'owo fin mo.

a little here, a little there, no need to be narrowminded or paddle only one canoe.[/quote]Life must really suck for you to find time to dig on people's long forgotten posts to find your 'anti igbo threads'. I recall once saying Yorubas are creepy sometime ago. Please help me dig up that thread from my post history. Thank you

chino11: My friend you are talking trash.

I live and work in Awka. Awka as a capital city has witnessed tremendous infrastructural development. Decent housing estates are springing up so fast like the Amansea est, Abuja est, Ngozika phase 1 & 1 etc. The town has night life that is comparable to what you have in PH. The hospitality industry in the city has doubled in the last few years. Place like Bamboo, Bejoy etc witness all nite activity, we are not talking about Hollywoods at Iyi-agu estate where people does not sleep at all. Even the popular Onitsha boys storm the town every weekend to jolly till their boss calls. Maybe you stay at the outskirt, next time you come to Awka alert me I will take you round, although as a married man not all the places that I can take you to .

how come there is dust everywhere in Awka, no good internal roads, All the roads are single lane and narrow. No plan, no beautification. The so called hotels are one star hotels, Awka is a village. Peter obi is sitting on the progress of Anambra state.

oyb: transgendered better retire to your container

mumu..

[quote author=baby_mama]Lol
Will it cause you any skin pain if someone posted that amadioha was a love-vendor?
Or that long juju of aro was an eediot?
Those gods mean absolutely nothing to the average Igbo man or woman
They occupy no relevance
Our parents have no connection to them worth protecting
My own father is a Christian and so was my grandfather
There are no idols worshiped in my father's house so people can abuse them all they want,I don't care,I will join sef
Na Jesus we sabi
Like me I am sure the most you saw a Dibia Anya nzu is on nollywood movies
They are not part of your life
But see how fiercely people are offended by a revelation that their goddess was turning tricks to eat ewedu
Tells you the place these demons occupy in their lives
Tufia[/quote]Am shocked as well. one thing ve learned from Nairaland is the extent Yoruba folks will go to support 'their own' worthless elements at any cost. To say they are shameless is an understatement

oyb: is that the best you can present as a comeback

poor Igbos, with their lack of wit - the only thing they understand is my container odikwa big pass ya own

no men anywhere, na woman dey rally them

small wonder the men dey wear wrapper and whine like biatches

shemales the lot of them

your own comeback is even as far dead as awolowo.

Sorry.. Go and find and owambe party nearby, eat ewedu and dance away ya sorrow. fool!

afam4eva: What's the future without the present? How does mentioning Peter Obi affect the purpose of this thread?

you should ignore sycophants that are both ashamed and afraid of their theiving and visionless master being evaluated. They want to talk about the next governor while we allow the present theif, petty governor go Scott free with his loot.

oyb: lets get this straight



so a mother's love for her children - to the point that she would sell her body to ensure they do not go without - is a thing to denigrate - if she was Igbo she would have just sold them - who needs to go over the repeated horror stories of Igbos using young girls as baby factories? no be ojukwu wey drive over small girls in his bid to escape? small wonder there were so many kwashiokor kids during the war, rather than their mothers do what they had to do with the overfed biafran soldiers, they preferred to let the kids starve to death.

osun believed that her children were the future - and she did everything for them. take a cue fro hat

Lmaooooooooo. Another retaaaaard! you deserve none response

Looool... this is murder! Babymama just finished everything left of that dayotroll.... Choi.... life wicked ooooo.. laughing so hard here.

please keep it coming..

the op has his own personal issues with America and he should deal with it personally.

This was the same folk that asked us not to vote Obama. lol.

Yes Africans love America. The land of the free.
