Sentiments aside, 95% of we Nigerians are facing severe poverty. I swear, our leaders have pafuka this country. Companies are sacking their staffs day in day out, many people in transportation cannot eat of today because all their money is taken away by fuel, generators repairers are out of business, mechanics workshop are empty, people are now willing to sell their cars and no one to buy it.... Nigeria is tough seriously... Many cooperate beggars everywhere.

I hope hunger and starvation will not wipe us away from the surface of the earth.

Is Akwa Ibom becoming the State of Uncommon poverty ni.

It's disgraceful that despite the huge oil derivation funds Akwa Ibom state receives from national oil revenue, the state is always leading from the rear in unemployment and poverty yet the people are hostile to investors. Check my signature for free stuffs!

RuggedBiafran:
Like Osun
Like Ekiti
Like Oyo

all the above are not better than the worst SS state. So Where are the details of Sadwasted (SW) states? A region where it's noted that people can't even take a decent bath, because there is no water in 2023?

Shame for Sadwaste is real...spits

Some years ago, I witnessed this dysfunctional social 'epidemic' in Bayelsa but I expect this should have reduced or stopped now. Your own account sounds recent though. There's a Yoruba adage that if a family/community is peaceful, it's because the illegitimate children in that family/ommunity have not grown up.

Any society I see serious upheavals, this adage is the first thing that comes to my mind. I know this for a fact that if you are a legitimate child of a family/community, you will never want violence and wanton blood shedding in your family/community. It is this wisdom that Solomon used to know the real mother of the baby that two women were laying claims to. The woman who requested that the baby be split into two halves clearly is an illegitimate mother.

This morbid fear of having illegitimate children in a family/community is why the Yoruba do rites on newborns and have special traditional methods of 'pushing' out illegitimate children in a family if the mother doesn't confess. That illegitimate child will misbehave in a manner that he/she and the mother will şesin (be exposed) and it's unfortunate because it's no fault of the illegitimate child. That is why in Yorubaland, an adopted child has a stake in the family than an illegitimate child.

Any society producing illegitimate children have no future. That's why some families and communities are today non existent because they have been erased by a plaque of illegitimate children.

Not just AKWA IBOM, Rivers , Delta. Bayelsa and Cross Rivers too, it's the same situation across the nitre Niger delta

Pierocash:
People will just sit and concoct rubbish data. South west aside Lagos is the worse in terms of poverty , second to North aside kaduna, or maybe Kano.

South south is the less hit region in Nigeria in terms of poverty.

[b]Omo..e don red oooo! See confession from a certified APC supporter...

Hand don touch you abi? Cool down, this is just the intro. The main RENEWED SHEGE dey load. Propaganda can't save you as hunger is real....

Keep looking for IPOB.. ESN.. NNAMDI KANU threads, while the people you support have actually increased the poverty threshold of your dependants. You will feel the heat for always making useless tribalistic decisions.

Propaganda can't cover bad leadership...spits[/b]wotowoto

Apart from Lagos .

All those regions are better than all SW states.

Osun can't rival any of those States,no matter how bad it is for them. Please focus more on the Sadwasted region (SW). Thank you

What can they do? These are states with an endemic toxic and destructive culture of corporate begging from the community level.

In the height of militancy I was stationed in the region in bayelsa to the precise , I worked in community liaison and visited all these states deeply and intimately related with communities and I can tell you that the foundatuional ideology from the home setting in the Niger delta is flawed. And breeds criminals not good focused youths.on paper they tell you that they are traditionally fishermen. That's a farce.

The youths have been raised by a wolf tradition by their forefathers encouraging begging and holding IOCs and other multinationals in the region hostage to feed them

A culture that encourages under aged drinking and immorality.

A culture that encourages drunkenness and wild unchecked behaviour .

A culture of unmarried pregnancy with a 90% population made up of fatherless children

The traditional beliefs that make up the major ethnic groups is very weak in the Niger Delta state
It's very common to find an unmarried girl of say 22 having 2 kids from different men living in her father's house and it is not frowned upon at all
I saw countless cases of incest patricide and such which is called a community affair .


The culture is ruthless retrogressive savage and destructive

Until the issues in the Niger Delta are addressed from a foundational point the entire south will continue to witness an endless supply of willing criminals easily used as kidnappers robbers assassins etc
