So ab.oki how am doing?

Yes, you're doing well...at sarcasm of course.

You post further confirms my assertion that you still need to travel more.
So in your own Geo-political map of Nigeria, the NC is not a part of the Nigerian North? Clap for yourself! Even my little Son knows better.

Whatever gives you the impression that the person you're mentioning has not travelled the whole world and is not richer than you. Just one sentence from me, and you're running your mouth? Sucks to be childish

The IG have spoken, let the wailers bow.

The Acting Senate President and his Deputy will be reduced to nothing, then disgraced out of office.

Blackfire:
almajiri ve u taken your camel piss today? i heard it cure diseases.
And abo.k.i this one is not an ironical irony, but a satire of sarcasm.

You sound pathetic! So I'm almajiri and äboki because I'm a "Northerner"?
Just take my advice and go back to school. While at it, take your time and travel round the country. I see, you need exposure. Don't ask me why, coz from your comments, I can see you've not left your father's house before.

Blackfire:
i think u are a fool with a capital F, well abo.k.i you that parabulate in school do u know what they call IRONY or SARCASM?
Ok or AL TAQIYA.... that is what am practising... The opposite of what i mean.
Do u understand me now ab.o.ki?

No wonder you can't even write a good English sentence, you goat! So in your idiocy, you sounded ironic?

Blackfire:
Oga afenifere....Yes the north is 80% of nigeria, and its a fact.

So in essence, the North has 136 of the so called 170 million population? I'm from the "North", but I think you need to go back to school.
The North can't even boast of 80% of the total landmass.

Let us from the outset make it clear that the unitary order, which the House of Arewa, has used to limit the flourishing of the component units of Nigeria for decades, has now entered a terminal crisis with shrinking receipt from oil and like a one- legged man dancing “skelewu”, will sure hit the ground even if he has all the stage to himself. “And when the fall comes, ACF and co-travellers would wish we had done the needful. They should therefore perish the thought that Afenifere is cajoling them to allow a restructured Nigeria.

"Think North"

Too many Idiiots on Nairaland.
Nobodies raining insults on a fulfilled old man.
In years to come, your unborn generations will read his book "My Watch" and accept it as the truth.
Shame on you all!

Good, if true. The conference itself is useless and a waste of time and resources.

I saw the President in the State House earlier this month, so you have no point.

The duly elected LG Chairmen must remain in office till further notice. Weakhead can go to hell!

kaycid77:
G
Forget it, SS and SE will support him then, we must take all our pound of flesh from you betrayers

Last time I checked, anyone you suupport always fail.

We'll see how those Buhari loyalists will get him back to the State House in 2019 without the support of the SW.
I really want them to call Tinubu's bluff.

And why is it that all the ladies I've ever met are always interested in marriage

I need ladies with these traits ASAP

Correctman0606:
Preside over who? He is the president not because he is suitable. He happen to come from an ethnic group that is high in population coupled with the fact that he is assisted by another tribe that is also populated, other wise who do you think Buhari stuff is? He is just a stark illitrate whose entirety is forged. Bush man for that matter.

You won't say this if you've ever had just 1000 followers at any given time in your life.
The illiterate will decide your fate for a minimum of 4 years, not because you want him, but because millions of people do.

chukwudi44:
What is stopping the mods from pushing this to front page

No, it should be pushed to the trash can.
Children of hate didn't know a seat was reserved for Tinubu yesterday with his name boldly written on it.

My signature.

Correctman0606:
I beg face front jare if you are pained. Who be Buhari the dumbest and the only dunce man.

Yes, your President is a dunce...says much about you and your household on whom he presides over.
Buhari is the face of Nigeria. If he's dumb, then you're something worse.

mployer:
Bro there is no news there


You don't expect Rochas to say otherwise, do you?





...until we hear from Tinubu

Hey, I looked up a wailing wailer in the dictionary and the definition was you.

Correctman0606:
Thank you so much and plenty like for you alone. Apc does not know that there is no Nigerian who does know that apc and its members know nothing other than talking from both sides of their mouths. Just give them some time, just small time, it will be another lie. They lie every time. That problem may sink that party. As far as Thiefnu.bu is concerned, especially considering the fact that he is so used to godfatherism, he will insist on what he wants. For that, it is just not so simple to settle that crises.

My signature

Correctman0606:
What is the business of pdp? Nothing has changed. The problems is still very much intact. Unless there is a new Nigerian who does not know apc propaganda. Just watch, apc is forced and founded on fake foundation. They will fail in no time. Nor be Buhari who does not know his left from his right dey head that party?

You are seriously disturbed if you believe this bullshiit you just typed.

Dauraking:
What Alhaji Okorocha declared was a temporary ceasefire. The combatants would definitely go back to their tranches and resume hostility. Saraki and Dogara would want to consolidate on the victories while Lawan and Gbajimiala would want to avenge their national disgrace. So fighting continues.

This rubbish you typed will only happen in your head, not the NASS.

SOUNDKING:
I pray they repent,America ''in God we trust'', how come?,i see disaster,look at christopher columbus crying,George Washinton weeping,Abraham Lincon scrutinizing his legendry bible again, America should ask Babylon the great why it lie desolate today. For heaven and earth shall pass away but not an iota of his word will return to him unfufilled.

America iss that earth beast in Rev 13:11 who was a lamb, but now speaking like a dragon. They are doing their job-fulfilling their part of the prophecy.
The mark of the beast is actually a law like this gay law which will go against the LAW of God. As they're striving to ensure global acceptance of this gay law, so shall mark of the beast be enforced globally. Unfortunately, there will be little resistance because the world has already been prepared or rather, deceived to accept it. The few that would not obey would be killed.
This is just the beginning. They mean business.

SOUNDKING:
if God did not punish America within the next 24 months,he owe soddom and Gomorah an apology.

This is the message for them:
Matthew 11:23-24
23 And you, USA, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades [the region of the dead]! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today.
24 But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.

And some men will start using female restrooms in the name of being transgender? Issokay
It's making sense now

bornmekus:
Is it the source or the news,Which one are you interested in?

Both

No source?

Lovesdaisied:
Ok. I'll throw you a bone and dash you your additional .05% if it makes you lot sleep well at night.

Have a good night.

Keep your "bone". You'll need it more in the SE to make you feel good. Afterall, it's actually what you're doing here. Take care.

Lovesdaisied:
22.9-24.4=1.5% difference.

1.5% difference, 1% difference. IMO statistically insignificant. Hence my point of "virtually the same rate."

The rest of your post makes no sense as we are talking percentages and not absolute numbers.

Wait a minute....why exactly am I discussing crude math with you

Are you still in secondary school?

1% ain't significant in Economics/statistics? Are you kidding me? You already assumed Lagos isn't part of SW and you're here again decreasing the poverty rate of the SE by a whooping 0.4 and at the same time increasing the actual poverty rate of the SW by 0.07%. Do you know what that means? You reduced those living in poverty in the SE by not less than 65,000 people. That's about the population of Ihiala.
In Economics/Statistics, it's better you leave your answers in four decimal places for more accuracy. This is not a crude maths as you're making it sound, this is statistics and your aim is to achieve minimum error.
That's by the way.
You said the rest of my post isn't meaningful? If you say we're dealing in percentage and not actual figure, isn t it obvious that we have lesser percentage of people living in poverty in the SW than the SE even without Lagos in the mix? So what's exactly your point here?

Lovesdaisied:
I came across the below thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/2418994/ranking-nigerian-states-poverty-rates

And was amused by how quick people are to rejoice over what is presented to them, without thinking clearly about the stipulations.

The D***ck measuring contest between the SW and SE was even more amusing, when the truth is that....

SE and SW viritually have the same poverty rate!!!!!!

Let's go over the rates for each state, zooming into the SW and SE specifically. I have excluded border states of Kwara, Kogi and Delta (which are designated as North central and South South, and honestly do not deviate much from what we see in the list). I also excluded Lagos, which is a multicultural bed of different groups and not representative of the strength of each region.

Okay then:

SW
2. Osun 10.90%
4. Ekiti 12.90%
12. Ogun 26.10%
14. Ondo 27.90%
17. Oyo 29.40%


SE

3. Anambra 11.20%
6. Imo 19.80%
7. Abia 21.00%
15. Enugu 28.80%
21. Ebonyi 56.00%


My thoughts....

Osun is only marginally less poor than Anambra (11.2-10.9=.03% difference).

Other SE states and SW states occupy the top lists in equal succession. Look again folks!

The only exception to this is Ebonyi which has a poverty rate comparable to the North. Abysmal, but still....


If you take the simple average of all the states' poverty rate for each region but disregard their populations (which looks like what the OP did in his original thread) you would think that the SW is the least poor. This is just because of the drag that we see in Ebonyi.

HOWEVER.

A weighed average of all the states (taking into account their populations) is a better representative of the poverty rate for each region going by this list. Ebonyi is the least populated state in the SE. Discount Lagos which is a multicultural city and you will see that the SW and SE actually may have similar poverty rates.

I recalculated the poverty rate taking account the populations of all the states. I am basing this on the 2006 census as we don't have any other indicators to go by. If there are more recent numbers I am still certain that calculating the results would yield around the same conclusions.


The real calculations:

SW Population Poverty Rate Population in Poverty
2. Osun 3,423,535.00 10.90% 373,165.32
4. Ekiti 2,384,212.00 12.90% 307,563.35
12. Ogun 3,728,098.00 26.10% 973,033.58
14. Ondo 3,441,024.00 27.90% 960,045.70
17. Oyo 5,591,589.00 29.40% 1,643,927.17
Total 18,568,458.00 4,257,735.10
Poverty rate of SW (4,257,735/18,568,458) 23%

SE Population Poverty Rate Population in Poverty
3. Anambra 4,182,032.00 11.20% 468,387.58
6. Imo 3,934,899.00 19.80% 779,110.00
7. Abia 2,833,999.00 21.00% 595,139.79
15. Enugu 3,257,298.00 28.80% 938,101.82
21. Ebonyi 2,173,501.00 56.00% 1,217,160.56
16,381,729.00 3,997,899.76
Poverty rate of SE (3,997,900/16,381,729) 24%

Now....can these two regions finally shut da feck up and worry about the myriad of problems facing the entire country??

Doesn't occur to you that the number of people living below poverty line in the SE would be 4,456,430- higher than that of the SW-if its population is 18,568,458? And does it occur to you that the SW population living in poverty would be 3,767,798 if its population is 16,381729?

How does your analysis dispute the fact that we have less proportion of people living in poverty in the SW-excluding Lagos- than what's obtained in the SE?

And actual poverty rates for SW and SE considering the population are 22.9299% and 24.4046% respectively. It makes a lot of difference

Who is surprise? El-rufai of demolition fame!
I bet, he has more.

Should we be happy about this? Clap for your sorry self.
