Pantoo: [s]Here are the top 10 poorest states in Nigeria 2019 according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)
Nigeria is a country blessed with mineral resources and is made up of 36 states. These states are meant to be productive based on their available natural resources, and are meant to have a strong and honest government capable of managing these natural resources to generate its revenue.
Poorest states in Nigeria But the reverse is the case as some states are down to poverty by 70 percent. However, these poor states in Nigeria became poor due to bad governance, mismanagement of state resources or security issues as the case may be.
We have listed the poorest states in the country according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, using infrastructural development, state of economy, literacy level, security and governance to compile this list of 10 poorest states in Nigeria this 2018.
Top Ten (10) Poorest States in Nigeria 2019 1. Sokoto state Sokoto state is rated as the poorest state in Nigeria, ranking 81.2% on poverty level. Its harsh climate conditions has made its a no go area and has prevented foreigners and foreign investors to come for investment in the state. It is also the seat of the Caliphate.
2. Kastina state Located at the deepest part of the north western area of Nigeria, Kastina state made it in the list of poorest states in Nigeria because it has fewer or no solid investment or sector that generates revenue for the state.
3. Adamawa state Due to the frequent attack from Boko Haram terrorists, Adamawa state’s economy has crippled as a result of its citizens running away from the state because of safety. It has affected the state poorly to a poverty level of 74.2%.

7. Ebonyi state Unfortunately this is the only state in the South-East that falls under the top poorest states in Nigeria with poverty rate of 70.6% due to poverty, illiteracy and bad government.
8. Bauchi state According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Bauchi was ranked among states that are poor.
Statistics shows that majority of the residents in this area lack the basic amenities of life and it is a war torn zone. The mortality rate recorded after the various insurgent attack is overwhelming.

10. Zamfara state With 70.8 percent poverty rate, Zamfara has been ranked by the NBS among the poorest states in the country 2019. Strife, disease and hunger affects the residents of this state a lot.
Wrapping up A lot has been said above concerning these states, from bad government to negligence, lack of jobs which causes unemployment, poverty, etc. We wonder how these affected states will fare in the future.
Niger has been ranked the state with the lowest poverty rate, closely followed by Osun state with 37.9 percent and Ondo 45.7 percent. Bayelsa and Lagos both have less than 50 percent poverty rate, with 47 and 48.6 percent respectively[/s].
MelesZenawi: [s]The Vice president of this Federal Republic is a Senior pastor of Redeemed Christian Church of God. By this he knows clearly what the scripture says about evil and works of darkness.
Never a time, he has condenmed the evil eating this estate up rather he devises means to support it and term it loyalty.
It now clearly shows that his loyalty lies clearly to his party and paymaster and not God.
He can't make heaven. He clearly rejected God here on Earth and the Bible made it clear that with JESUS saying If you deny me here on Earth, I will deny you before my father in heaven. So the case of pastor Yemi is settled even while on Earth because as it is in earth so shall it be in heaven.
No wonder God regretted why he created man and he is a typical example. He couldn't stand for God here on Earth.
[b]Because of power he forgot what the Bible said in Ephesians 5 vs 11.." partake not in the unfruitful works of darkness but rather you shall expose"[/s]
IamHeWrites: [s]Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has threatened the governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, over alleged brutalisation of the group’s members in the state by security operatives.
Mr Kanu had on October 27 posted a video on Twitter showing a group of people whom he referred to as IPOB members scampering for safety.
According to him, security operatives invaded the venue of IPOB gathering in Ebonyi and shot at them.
However, in a tweet on Thursday, Kanu threatened Mr Umahi and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) saying they would account for the treatment of every Biafran, Igbere TV reports.
“The brutalisation of our people in Ebonyi will surely be avenged. This is a formal notice to all, including Miyetti Allah and Dave Umahi that sooner than later, they will account for every injury, torture, and death of every Biafran. How, when and where is left for us to determine,” he wrote.
Kanu recently told the Federal High Court, Abuja, through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, that he was willing to return to the country to continue his trial if his safety would be guaranteed.
Justice Binta Nyako, who adjourned the case till January 16, said the only way she could guarantee Kanu’s safety was to keep him in prison.
She said that even judges are no longer safe in the country.
MelesZenawi: [s]I done laugh tire.
This woman always beat Victor Umeh silly in every election.
Umeh had never won anything election against her.
Why?
Na only court Umeh always depend on but it failed this time[/s].
Palehair: You never force people to engage in any form of test.... HIV or any other, if they do want to carry out the test, they need the permission of the individual.... It's your duty as a doctor to convince them and not force them and putting their faces out there is wrong... You are exposing their identity to scrutiny and stigmatization because like it or not, the stigma still exist especially among the poor and illiterate ones
well I understand, what I'm asking is this: will they tell their employers that they won't do it?
Palehair: I wish I could like this comment a billion times It's just an outright act to shame the victims. The doctors don't deserve to be doctors. You never force anybody to undergo any test be it HIV or not
why are you guys pushing the blames on the drs, so if the state employed Doctors are asked to do the test they should refuse? how?
