dayokanu: I would be interested in an analysis of the different region n the South and not just lump everyone together as SOUTH

How about having the analysis done on state by state basis also including who owns what on state of origin basis?

The skyscrapers that dot the financial district of Lagos (Nigeria’s financial capital) partly tell the story of the nation’s rising economic prominence as Renaissance Capital’s new report titled – Nigeria unveiled- paints a more complete picture of an economy moving at two speeds.

Data from the report reveals the stark regional disparity with a thriving South with rising income, lower unemployment and better educated citizens and a much poorer, less educated and struggling North.

Seven of the ten largest state economies are in Southern Nigeria, while the population living in Southern Nigeria is more likely to have completed primary school than its counterparts in northern Nigeria, according to the report.

Lagos State has the highest net primary school completion ratio in Nigeria, at 70.6 percent, while less than 10 percent of the populations in Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe and Bauchi in particular have completed primary school.

The same trends persist in secondary school attendance rates.

“The north-south divide in Nigeria’s school attendance rate highlights a glaring regional inequality in education attainment. Northern Nigeria’s poor education indicators are a deterrent to investors seeking skilled labour,” said the report.

“We think education levels in the South and South West are likely to spur even faster growth, as we have seen in emerging markets globally.”

The Nigerian economy expanded at an average of 7.2 percent per year for the past four years, according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates.

In the same period, the size of the Nigerian economy has risen by 60 percent to become the second largest in Africa as nominal gross domestic product (GDP) rose to $273 bn at year end 2012 from $169bn in 2009.

Income per head is expected to hit $1,731 in 2013, up 7.1 percent from the 2011 level of $1,615.

The Northern States income per head of $1,414 is however lower than the national average, as most of the economic activity is taking place in the South.

Nigeria’s borrowers with operations mostly in the South of the country have led the way in Africa’s syndicated loan market in 2013, with more than $10 billion of deals signed or in the market, a sign of the booming economy south of the Niger River.

Indorama Eleme took an $800 million project finance loan in mid-February to fund a $1.2 billion green field fertiliser project, and oil and exploration company Neconde Energy marked its debut in the market with a $470 million corporate deal in early April.

Meanwhile, the Dangote group has negotiated loans of $4.25 billion from banks to build a refinery, which would be located in the southwest of Nigeria and able to process 400,000 barrels of crude a day, according to Sani Dangote, vice president of the Dangote Group, in an interview on April 17.

Most financial services institutions are concentrated in the South, according to the data, with Lagos State alone home to over a quarter of Nigeria’s financial and insurance sector workforce.

“Outside Lagos State, banking penetration rates are low, especially in the northeast of the country,” said the report.

Lagos State residents have the highest electricity supply per capita in the country, at 163 watts per capita, while Power supply per capita in the north-east states is particularly dire, at less than 20 watts per capita.

Borno State, which is home to the militant group Boko Haram, has the lowest per capita power supply in the country at seven watts.

The working-age population is also concentrated in the south, according to the data.

Southern states are more urbanised, with higher income households that have fewer children, and 55 percent or more of the population is of working age.

In the north, it is less than 50 percent.

“Households in Nigeria’s southern states are better educated and have smaller household sizes,” concludes the report.

“It is regions like this that are developing the necessary skills that we believe will position them at the forefront economically in Nigeria, and Africa, to start taking jobs from China.”

Texas.Cowgirl:
The same GEJ that promised to step down after his first term?


How could sane Nigerians support an incompetent liar?


Aso rock money don sweet am die, im no wan step down again


Nigerians deserve their condition, for real

How about Buhari that promised not to contest again after 2011?

Worldlife: Op i doe not think they are underage,they are lack of nutrition in their body that prevent them for healthy growth!! I can bet you that those guys have wives and children

ROFLMAO !!!

abes: You still have not answered the question. Until you tell me, it's still in Onitsha.

Yes, that's Upper Iweka Road, Onitsha.

Sai Buhari!!!

abes: Simple question, I want to know because I think the picture is from Onitsha, am I right?

So, Onitsha people rioted because Buhari lost an election? SMH!

abes: That picture is from which state?

Whose poster are the murderers displaying?

abes: We all know PDP registered them.

Kare jini Biri jini

Clitorial.Dept.:
OP, Please don't stop in your attempt at reminding them how evil Buhari and the northern politicians are.

Lest they make the mistake and vote Buhari in and then come here(if Nairaland still exists) and complain.

Nigerians suffer from chronic myopia and amnesia.

More like chronic amnesia I would say

payless: Only in your dreams.

Thank you sir, next!

teniyi: Going by the new NL rules, this should not be allowed to see the day. No wonder, their own tribe is so hated by all the tribes in the country.
The same people you accused are far better than you.
Tell you governors and fathers in the East that they shall continue to regret the ethnic votes voted by them in 2011.

Which of the rules did this break?

Shove your advice where the sun does not shine. For your information, we shall repeat the 2011 voting pattern in 2015.

Reyginus: I'm interested in knowing why too.
By the way, from the thread.
...
During the last presidential elections, we all saw
how CPC mobilised underaged voters (mainly
Almajiris) to vote for Buhari. It was even alleged
by the PDP that 6 million of the total votes cast for
the CPC presidential aspirant General Buhari were
cast by underaged voters. This was corroborated by the Late Aikfavour Ukeoma a youth corper
who tried to resist the CPC riggers but paid the
supreme price with his life few days after the
election.
With the emergence of APC via recent merger of
various political parties mainly ACN and CPC, one is forced to ask if this team of underaged voters
will be passed on to the APC.
Pictures of underaged voters voting for Buhari
are attached below;
...
My question is, how are we sure those children were made to vote for CPC and not some other party?

One of the electoral officers, Ukeoma Aikfavour (https://m.facebook.com/ukeoma.aikfavour?id=655614177&_rdr) complained of how CPC agents wanted to lynch him for refusing to hand over unused ballot papers to them even when they forced him to allow " underaged voters" to cast votes. Sadly, he (Aikfavour) was murdered few days after the election in the post election violence.

MrAlfa: The guy in green in the first pic looks like Seun.

I no dey o

I just realised it has been moved back to the main politics section. Thanks Mod.

Meanwhile, I'm tempted to believe that the ploy was; move the thread to a section where it would not attract comments and after some hours, return it to politics section so that it drops to bottom.

Can anyone explain the reason why this thread was moved from the main politics section. What is ethnic, Racial and Sectarian about this thread?

https://www.nairaland.com/1287336/pictures-underaged-voters

Sincere 9gerian: What else will GEJ do to please PATHOLOGICAL HATERS? If he had not dropped the known PDP member, he would have been abused by haters. Now that he dropped the PDP nominee, haters are dropping comments like "Who dey deceive who now", "I had a good laugh", etc

It appears only the head of GEJ on a platter will please these PATHOLOGICAL and SENSELESS HATERS.

Sincere9gerian, could you please help me ask the Mods why this thread was moved from the main politics section. Is there anything ethnic, racial or sectarian about this thread?

https://www.nairaland.com/1287336/pictures-underaged-voters/1

nku5: Really funny that gowon the fulani/british stooge is the only former head of state who lives outside his country

And I hope he and his Plateau brothers are enjoying the benefits of One Nigeria now

nwabobo: Mods, please I'll like to know why this thread was moved from the main Politics section? What is Ethnic, racial or sectarian about the thread?

https://www.nairaland.com/1287336/pictures-underaged-voters/1

I'm still waiting for answer to the question above

Mods, please I'll like to know why this thread was moved from the main Politics section? What is Ethnic, racial or sectarian about the thread?

nwabobo: Sweetcheecks, can my dog bleep you for a fiver?

sweetcheecks: Yes dear!

Thanks. The dog has been h***y for weeks now. I'll have to get it a condom so you don't infect my Chihuahua with AIDS

sweetcheecks: Not a chance while you still protect your thieves and drug traffickers

Sweetcheecks, can my dog bleep you for a fiver?

sweetcheecks: Ypour mama!

At least my mama is still alive while your mama died of AIDS

sweetcheecks: Wow, this is a joke

Yes we do but somehow we live longer than your hungry poverty stricken bottoms still ravaged by an ancient disease polio. See how your people even grown ass men go around the streets unclad with no shoes or clothes on their back.

With the way SA economy is nose diving and the prospect of the likes of Julius Malema taking up the mantle of leadership in future, I'm sorry to tell you that Zimbabwe would be better than SA. Meanwhile just so you know, my grand mum is no longer alive to donate her wrapper like she did to your apartheid stricken hungry looking mum.

vmonyoue: Ofcourse they are beautiful in every way imaginable.

The beauty of a Yoruba woman;

vmonyoue: lmaooo, look at this fool! No be your people do am. Always using Yoruba names to commit crimes. Every where in Yoruba land they are there doing the unthinkable. Stop with that foolish talk and advice your people to stop using Yoruba names to commit all sort of crimes.

See how beautiful your women look.

vmonyoue: Those people you name up there may have sacrifice their loved ones to get that possition. Igbos are notorious for human sarcrifice for big possitions. Besides, those Igos that are doing well around the world were schooled by Yoruba teachers. If it wasn't for those Yoruba teachers they too would've been in crimial activites. just like the rest of their brothers and sisters... hehehehe

vmonyoue: Because Igbos thought them their criminal triats. Now you and your people have spoiled those well trained Yorubas how to be criminals like the Igbos. Rubbing y'all dirty habits on the good citizens of Nigeria. Criminal fools!

Can you also explain to the house why the following prevails in your Oduduwa cave?
