Yeye analysis,una dey count both people who left their villages come lagos

The topic is limited to the numbers of unemployed Nigerians in each State and no data on their villages was collated.

Omoslim26:
Where did you get such narrative from.
It's all about job opportunities,job creation.
You can have a glamorously populated enclave with nothing to show for it in terms of employment.

The topic is about the NUMBERS of unemployed Nigerians.

1) State A: Total population= 1000
Unemployed people= 200

2) State-B: Total population= 400
Unemployed people= 100.

Question: Which of the two States above have

a) the highest numbers of unemployed people?

b) the highest unemployment rate?

Did you read the post at all or you are just commenting based on your preformed opinion (which may actually be valid but not applicable to the topic because it measures something else)?

Fake news

Anambra ranked lowest in unemployment

The Channels TV news you qouted was about the same NBS statistics but it was for Q2 2020( April-June,2020) and it was about UNDER-EMPLOYMENT which isn't exactly the same thing as unemployment.

KILLTHECOWS:
North is this lucrative yet your people see south as their AMERICA..
you can't be telling yourself lies haba.

The guy is correct.

However you need to know that being employed is NOT the same thing as being rich.

The people planting, harvesting and transporting carrots, water melon, tomatoes, groundnuts, sugarcanes, beans, onions, millets pepper and potatoes are all employed but may or may not be rich.

KILLTHECOWS:
Those northerners shining shies,are they employed or unemployed?
Asking for a friend.....

They are employed, being employed is not the same as office works or just about white collar jobs or even about being rich.

Omoslim26:
What has employment got to do with population �.

The topic talked about ' numbers' of unemployed Nigerians. This has to do with population.

In places where there are few people , the number of unemployed people will also be few.

Grandkay21:
Why Anambra, even Delta state here am living that is only the non indigenes are the one working

So Indigenes of Delta State wake up every morning and roam about the streets or sit in their houses doing nothing while the non-indigenes work to provide the daily needs of the Indigenes?

Omoslim26:
So you are saying that Borno has more Employed persons than IMO state?.��
Nonsense stat.

What's the total population of Borno Vs Imo State?

OriakuAmara:
I want to know something
Is warri a total itsekiri land? I thought urhobos,isokos are part of warri?
Shouldn't the title be Olu of Itsekiri instead of Olu of warri inorder to maintain peace

The original Warri is an Itsekiri-land but the city has now extended into Urhobo and Ijaw territories.

xpressionx:
Do you think there are no persons interested in the licence?
Why must it be only dangote?

1) Numerous companies got license to build Refineries

2) Apart from Dangote ,there are other Refineries in different stages of completion, sizes and operations e.g Orient Refinery in Anambra State, Walter Smith Refinery in Imo State and Edo Refinery in Edo State.

1st did u read the whole article? If yes can u point to the part he mentioned TRIBE?
2ndly if u truly read the whole article with open mind u Will get the logic or sense op was trying to point out, in summary he was saying may be in the future all this so call license holders with working refinaries may decide to abandon their refinaries 2moro if the cost of production is too high in the country and be importing from other countries with much lower cost of production but if u know that other will join the party if u abandon ur refinaries then they will seat tight,
The same thing was implemented in Suger refinaries some of them have abandon their plant and importing brown sugar to refine.
LASTLY MONOPOLY WILL NOT IMPROVED ANY DIEING ECONOMY, IT WILL ONLY ENCOURAGE EXPLOITATION OF THE ECONOMY

You are contradicting yourself;

1) The OP wrongly insinuated that only Dangote and NNPC will be importing fuel but you are talking of those who have Refineries.


2) Operators of Refineries (note the plural) is NOT the same thing as Dangote.

jabolo:
This bill has been in development since 2000-wetin? Investments have been held up while it's been published in various fora and your elected representatives over several senate sessions have been involved in debating it.

Then it was finally passed. The international investment community breathes a sigh of relief.

Why the mischevious 'monday morning quarter-backing'? Often selectively put out there to inflame ethnic tensions? There are indeed mischevious forces at play in our nation and you have a responsibility not to dash them your brain.

==

The issue discussed by the OP relates to product shortfall. That means demand that exceeds local production for whatever reason especially in the short term. If that reason is as a result of local refinery downtime or malfunction, the license holders should have an opportunity to import fuel to cover their foregone production. I'm thinking the players in the industry inclusing Dangote, Walter Smith and other potential modular refiners, not necessarily useless NNPC.

It is unclear even if this is going to be profitable because, remember, they have invested in their own refineries and have to service the debts so idle capacity is never to their overall benefit.

Currently, our fuel importers are made up of 'rent-seekers' - corrupt parasites with little or no investment in domestic production capacity and no interest in that direction. If this bill incentivizes them to set up refineries to stay in business, it's a win for the country.

Thank you for this explanations to them.

The OP and most of the posters on Nairaland place tribalism above economic all considerations.

adadike:
Dear writer, thank you so much for this piece. Igbos on the east have always call upon our brothers in the Nigeria divided south south to come together and join forces with us but majority have refused to heed that call due to the deceit caused by Yoruba lying media. But they forgot that when someone from Anioma, ikwerre or akwaibom commits a crime , the entire igbos especially the East igbos are blamed for it. No one would remember that he is Anioma or south south but we in the East have been reaching out to our brothers in Anioma, ikwerre and even Benue join us coz United we stand. We are better together. Igbo bu Igbo, ekene mu unu!

Try to solve your problems without bringing Yorubas into the matter as the Yorubas don't even know the differences between Igbo, amaka and Anioma.

Commentor:
They should burn Ariaria market if they are serious.

Hahaaa, Abia people should burn infrastructures of Abia State when they aren't in No Man's Land (NML)?

Beancounter93:
Things are bad.

But the problem with this article is that I have been seeing variants of this article for decades now. Infact i recall seeing reports from the 1990s 2000s and even ten years ago on the same theme. Price of ram shooting up.


Once it is holiday time, prices of stuff always go up. The average ram seller is probably trying to make enough cash to balance his books for the year, because in one months time the buyers won't come like before.

Infact most Nigerians do not buy rams except when holidays come up. The only customers for rams the rest of the year are probably butchers and maybe hotels.

All in all if you want cheap meat then we have to.change the way we practice agriculture in this country. Our population is too big to be fed by subsistence farming methods. Time we started things like ranching and other modern large scale farming methods

If ram is too expensive, then they should buy he-goats or Camels.

2023: The Yahayah Bello/Fani-Kayode ticket is the answer.

jeyem:
let vote for somone who will make Nigeria GREAT again, I dont care where that person come from, The problem we are having in this country is that we didnt see our self has one nigeria! American is so big and they see each other as one American. Alaska alone, a state in America is bigger than nigeria so dont think nigeria is big, let see each other as one and make NIGERIA GREAT again.

What's the name of that 'someone'?

Penguin2:
PDP is driven by existential needs.

They know that if they field a southerner with APC, then APC is likely to beat them in the game again. Because APC might hand it’s ticket to a Yoruba while PDP will likely field an Igbo man.

When this happens, APC propaganda machine will finish the PDP candidate up in the north; telling northerners how the ‘nyamiri’ will divide Nigeria if given power and that power should go a Yoruba man instead.

We know these things!

If you ask me, I will tell you APC is the one speaking through the Southern Governors and I urge PDP not to fall for the gimmick.

PDP should field a northerner. Let’s take power from these vultures first. That’s paramount.

So, I support the motion that PDP should throw the damn ticket open.

There are many possible options in a political contest.

Are you crazy?
There was no crude oil where?
Did you just visit google?
Cus crude oil de sip from ground for some places, I know it exists in Anambra, you don't even need tech to know oil exists in Nigeria just say they didn't do exploration, which one is there was no oil in Nigeria.
and what advancement in technology are you talking about apart from fracturing which by the way also requires the existence of source rock.
I want to know what you meant by useful crude oil

You sound too crude, unrefined and foul mouthed for civil and enlightened intelligent discussions.


Try to now the difference between Niger Republic and Nigeria.

Where did I mention Anambra in my post?

Idiko1:
Yes, the advancement in Science and Technology is a plus especially in the process of extracting crude oil from the earth. However the crude oil found in Ondo was not about Science and Technology but sectional politics in the shithole called Nigeria. The crude oil in Ondo belongs to Bendel State now Edo and Delta States. All the crude oil wells in Ondo State were caved from Bendel State.

The major oil producing community in Ondo State, Araromi is an Ilaje community and was never part of Bendel State.

However what gives you this impression that once oil is been extracted in a place, crude oil can't be discovered in other areas close to the place over time?

Pauldollars:
Very soon Babi Allah beggars will fill that place

Why can't you just for once be Happ for them. Why must you attribute only negativities to these people.

Furious1:
Lol.. you no go fit kill me with talk. Odogwu if you like go under a waterfall and explore for oil and gas, if the basic factors ain't complete (source rock, reservoir rock, trap, temperature ETC) they're not going to put 1naira to drill any well.there are places in Rivers State with oil but they can't drill cus at least one factor is missing. You still don't understand the concept of sweet spot. Same reason I'm laughing at this frontier basin bullshit, another tactics to sink money in the north.. the basins they should be exploring for hydrocarbon is where there's proven sweetpot like the ND basin and the Anambra basin.
Unless you can wait for another hundreds of millions of years maybe the Geology of Nigeria fit don change

1) Petroleum (Latin; Petra (rock) + Oleum (oil)) has been known and used as a source of energy since Ancient times and became popular during the era of the Roman Empire.


2) As recent as 1985, there were no crude oil in Niger Republic, Chad and Ghana but with advancement in Science and Technology, crude oil were discovered in these places.

3) The concept of what is 'useful crude oil in commercial quantities' changes with advancement in Technology.

gidgiddy:
The vigilante in my village is not registered under any Police. In the only video where Nnamdi Kanu introduced ESN, there were not armed. If anybody now says that ESN were armed after that, you have to show proof that it was Kanu that armed them

Courts are nit beer parlours where anybody goes with nothing but allegations and gossip, you got to court with evidence and facts

Kanu could easily say he never armed ESN, and ESN member who was found with arms had nothing to do with him. The Prosecution will have to prove how Kanu in London, armed ESN in Nigeria. Its not Kanu that has to prove his innocence, it is the prosecution that has to his guilt

I am not interested in the legal issues of Kanu's trials (there are many paid lawyers on both sides to argue that) but pointing out the wrong analogy between armed Vigillante Security company and the Eastern Security Network.

Idiko1:
In 1948, crude oil exploration started in Ondo by Shell D'Arcy and not even a grain sand was discovered. Suddenly the Nigerian idiotic politics led by Yoruba man named Obasanjo discovered crude oil all over Ondo. Nigeria is a real shithole.

There are so many things that weren't discovered or even known in 1948 but are now we'll known today.


With advancement in Science and Technology, crude oil will be discovered in almost all territories close to water bodies.

Dymaco:
Anioma which is bigger than anambra was cut to delta. That supposed to make us 6 states in south east

Anioma was never cut from Anambra State.

Ifearnoevil:
Where in the report did it state that it was Buhari that returned the oil wells?

Don't mind him. It was Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that returned the oil wells to Imo State.

gidgiddy:
Really? So the armed vigilante that guards my neighbourhood, whom we all contribute money to pay, is illegal? All the neighbourhood that have armed vigilante in Nigeria are all illegal? Hmmmm...... interesting

One good thing about Nnamdi Kanu's arrest is that his critics will finally see that he is not the problem. Even Sunday Igboho thought that being a gentleman would save him, they still came for him and he is lucky to be alive. The arrest of Kanu will not silence seperatist voices, it wont stop Boko haram, ISWAP, killer herdsmen from killing people.

The only thing Kanu's arrest will do is give those who dont like his face some short lived joy. But they will still go back to the reality of a failed Nigeria

It's crystal clear that you don't have even little understanding of the laws of Nigeria.

1) The armed Vigillante Security Organization guarding the streets are registered with and under the supervision of the Nigeria Police.

2) ESN is an armed militia established by Nnamdi Kanu and they are parallel to Police/Army.

somehow:
None of them is mad

Could be their fantasy

So they needed to dress 'mad' as an excuse to cover shame and whatever

Yellow people (those outside Africa) do stuffs like this alot albeit not pretending to be mad.

But it is illegal to be having sexual intercourse in the public space.

ghostwon333:
1) Benin city is only the capital of a large kingdom (or empire) which is also called Benin (Kingdom or empire).
2) The entirety of Edo-state is part of Benin Kingdom/Empire and so is lagos and Delta-state and many other parts of southern nigeria.
3) Things such as the bight of Benin and benin republic got their names from the Kingdom of the one and only Oba.
4) The title of the Oba got copied a lot by some people who seem to have forgotten that they copied that title from the emperor of Benin, so those people who call themselves "yoruba" have also named their monarchies after Benin.

1) Both the words ; Oba and Bini are Yoruba words and only have meanings in Yoruba language.

2) Oranmiyan introduced Obaship to Benin. Before Oranmiyan reign in Bini, the previous Kings were called 'Ogiso'

In most Edo communities, the words for king is Ogiam/Oviam/Ogiso and its other variants.

3) Before Oduduwa's reign in Ile-Ife, several Kings had ruled Ile-Ife ,some of which had been deitified and many of these have the words OBA as prefixes to their names e.g OBAtala, OBAlufon, OBAluaye, OBAlufe. This shows that the words OBA predated the reign of Oduduwa in Ile-Ife.

You are a crook. Your stupid antics don't work on me, I write books. I am not one of the gullible half educated people whom you can bamboozle.

Your vitriolic personal attacks is uncalled for.
It's not compulsory for anyone to agree with what another person writes here.
Please don't respond to my posts anyone.
You seems too unrefined for intellectual discussions.
