Lol people always using the North as a region of Poverty.....


With all the poverty and insecurity in the North how many times av we seen dem go outside the country to disgrace the country or commit crime outside the country...


If a crime is committed outside 100 times na Southerner dey always take the 99percent spot....

People that even av enough format, enough stories they can use to procure a Visa than a Southerner from the insecurity, Religious crisis, happening in the North buh still choose to stay in the country and not go out to disgrace the country with crime...


I'm sure if a Northern politicians wake up and accuse the Southerner of always exporting crime to other countries Southerner will also call him Bigot, Alimajiri all sort of names nd even curse him everywhere go don full of noise like this...


As India get Poor people pass they've Rich people more than UAE combined...

Nowadays, when you say the truth, you've committed treason.

NeoWanZaeed:


Notherners are the richest
Owns most properties
40% are literate..


Poverty stuff is a myth.. That of education is true

It is common knowledge that majority of northerners are poor (and poorly educated), and the rich elites want it to remain that way, so that they can keep exploiting the poor among them.

The north has more poor people than Ghana population, so we should not be concerned... Besides th is an old post and all those posting are connected to APC. The poor northerners are not on twitter.

The same thing he did in Chattam house when asked how he intends to handle insecurity.. the bigot was just mentioning Boko haram and didn't say a word on Igbos.

He is relying on outdated narrative of North being poor to deceive his gullible followers.. go to Maiduguri and see solid infrastructure unlike Anambra where you'll hardly find bridges or roads. I wonder why the Igbos always think they are better and superior to others.
The ones I have encountered just make mouth and in the end, they disappoint. They always find a way to justify their bigotry and sideline others in an establishment

Obi is a bigot and he exposed himself for the hypocrite and divisive element that he is. The north saw this and that was why they voted against him. Obi can never win an election in Nigeria. You don't go out labelling people and expect them to vote you

Has that doctor treated the mental illness in his own family first i.e. the baby factories , the drug pushers, the gala sellers in SW traffic e.t.c.

He could have said Nigeria has a poverty problem and leave it at that, but his bigotry took the better part of him and had to throw mud at the North to prop his ego.

The North is their own problem. Is Obi the first to mention poverty in the North? Sanusi Lamido Sanusi always refer to North when giving examples of poverty, why didn't these coconut heads attack him? When an international organisation wanted to start a poverty alleviation program in Nigeria, Buhari instructed them to start from the North, because the region is worse hit by poverty.
Northerners are so beclouded by bigotry, that's why they threw Jonathan's progressive projects away only to come back later and start begging for it. This narrative must change, separate regional development and resource control is the answer, so that any region that chooses to remain in the slum of poverty will be there undisturbed.

How will you react if Buhari says, he wants Nigeria to be free of armed robbery, hard drugs-related business, especially from the south-east.

According to chatgpt


You guys just hate the truth, the north is the poorest.... Even with data from your country's statistics department






Which states in Nigeria are the poorest

Nigeria is a country with significant economic disparities between different regions and states. While some states have experienced rapid economic growth and development, others remain among the poorest in the country.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in Nigeria, the states with the highest poverty rates as of 2019 are:

Sokoto
Taraba
Jigawa
Ebonyi
Adamawa
Zamfara
Yobe
Niger
Gombe
Bauchi
It's worth noting that poverty levels in Nigeria are often measured using a range of indicators, including income, access to basic services, and education levels, among others. Therefore, different sources may provide slightly different rankings of the poorest states
