What is the population of Ebonyi state to have 3.6M poor people?

PeterObi4LP:
No matter how you like hate the good and Industrious people of South East, they will
still be far ahead and above other region. This is FACT.

No matter how FG treat and sideline SE, they will always come out strong and much more better compare to any region that have held unto power. This is FACT.


The op above me is pained and garnishing of teeth. Go and make money

Go to Ikeja computer Village, Alaba and see Igbo wizkids doing wonders. So close that chapter. Calculate the number of owomida thugs, touts and miscreants on Lagos roads then plot a graph of who is more entrepreneurial, productive and profitably engage to show us something here.

Meanwhile, remember while the Igbos were still recovering from the catastrophic devastation of the Nigerian civil war inflicted by the Nigerian state in the early 1970 - 90s, Bola Tinubu was trafficking heroin and cocaine in far away Chicago Illoinois.

The advent of full fledged drug running by some bastard Igbo sons and daughters was something they learn from the druggie that blazed the trail. Count the numbers of Indian hemp smokers in Lagos motor parks and under all the overpass in Lagos and plot another graph for us here.

Strange how you ame to the conclusion that your Igbo brothers learnt drug pushing from tinubu. But they didn't learn it from Obi, who was also a drug pusher, whose father got killed by rival drug dealers.

Strange how you want someone to plot a graph of the miscreants in lagos while there are more miscreants in the east.

The higher the number, the worse the poverty is,

5 Highest poverty
Ebonyi: 79.8
Enugu: 58.1
Cross River: 36.3
Abia: 30.7
Imo: 28.9

Lowest poverty
Oyo: 9.8
Ogun: 9.3
Osun: 8.5
Delta: 6.0
Lagos: 4.5

Keep consoling yourself.
After the north the worst hit areas are the entire south west region. Many of u aren't even proud of your states not one bit.

That is why any of u that escapes Osun,Oyo,or even Ekiti would start claiming Lagos the next day.

Sorry for u...see how u turned the statistics upside down just to suit your greed and lies.

Repent.

Your tribalism is now full - blown, you don't hide it anymore.

Meanwhile, go and check the percentage of poverty in each region and also check the populations of those regions. Whatever the poverty rate in the south west is, Igbos will contribute a significant percentage, while Yoruba is almost non - existent in your region.


Your eternal hatred for Yoruba did not let you realize that these statistics are not based on tribe, but residents of the regions. Half of your people live away from home. You are probably making your tribalistic comments from somewhere in the south west.

The same NBC that thinks the best way to fight unemployment is by changing the formulae used to calculate unemployment?

It is the other way round. The number of Igbos in Lagos increased the percentage of rich people in.Lagos.

Meanwhile, this is where the Nigeria they claimed is their exclusive right and fiefdom to rule alone and chop alone have landed all of us today.

A recent report by Nigeria's data body, the National Bureau of Statistics, shows that 133 million Nigerians are poor. Most of the poor people are highly concentrated in the northern region of the country, despite monthly federal allocations.

Poverty by zones shows that the northwest is the epicentre of poverty in the country, with over 45 million poor people.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently released a report on the poverty rate in Nigeria. The report shows that about 133 million Nigerians live in poverty, representing 64 per cent of the entire population.

The NBS report surpasses the World Bank projection for Nigeria's poverty rate, which says that about 95.1 million Nigerians will fall into the poverty bracket in 2022.

Poverty higher in rural areas of Nigeria
The NBS report states that Nigerians are multi-dimensionally poor, taking into account various aspects of poverty indicators, including money poverty, food poverty, and security.

The report also revealed that Nigeria is plagued with urban and rural poverty, with the poverty rate higher in rural areas.

According to the report, about 70 per cent of Nigerians living in rural areas are poor, while 30 per cent of urban dwellers live in poverty.

The report also spotlights Nigeria's poorest states and poorest zones. It shows poverty is higher in the north than in the south, with the northwest being the epicentre of poverty in Nigeria.

Despite the monthly allocation by the federal government, the states in the north, mostly plagued by insurgency, banditry and general insecurity, have remained poor.

Poverty by geopolitical zones
Four of the five poorest states in Nigeria are from the north, while Bayelsa, an oil-producing state, is shockingly ranked second on the index.

North-central and northeast follow the northwest.

The poorest geo-political zones are:

North West has 45.49 million people living in poverty
North East has 20.47 million people living in poverty
North Central, with about 20.19 million people living in poverty
South-South has a high number of people living in poverty, with 19.66 million.
South West has about 16.27 million people being poor.
And South East is the least poor zone in Nigeria, with 10.86 million living in poverty.
A breakdown of poverty by state shows Sokoto as the state with the highest poverty.

Kano, 10.51 million
Kaduna, 8.04 million
Katsina, 6.92 million
Sokoto, 5.81 million
Jigawa, 5.76 million
Bauchi, 5.71 million
Akwa Ibom, 5.08 million
Benue, 4.71 million
Rivers, 4.40 million
Plateau, 4.32 million
Kebbi, 4.28 million
Lagos, 4.22 million
Zamfara, 4.17 million
Oyo, 3.79 million
Ogun, 3.78 million
Yobe, 3.23 million
Gombe, 3.02 million
Kogi, 2.88 million
Taraba, 2.81 million
Delta, 2.73 million
Enugu, 2.63 million
Bayelsa, 2.61 million
Borno, 2.25 million
Osun, 1.88 million
Imo, 1.80 million
Kwara, 1.72 million
Anambra, 1.64 million
FCT Abuja, 1.59 million
Edo, 1.40 million
Nasarawa, 1.36 million
Ebonyi, 3.66 million
Niger, 3.60 million
Adamawa, 3.44 million
Cross River, 3.44 million
Ekiti, 1.31 million
Ondo, 1.30 million
Abia, 1.12 million
5 states lead as NBS reports that 133 million Nigerians are living in poverty
Recall that Legit.ng reported that the National Bureau of Statistics stated that about 133 million Nigerians are now poor.

The NBS, in its National Multidimensional Poverty Index report on Thursday, November 17, 2022, said that about 63 per cent of Nigerians were poor due to a lack of access to health, education, living standards, employment and security.

The Index offers different levels of poverty assessment, identifying deprivations across health, education, living standards, work and shocks.

I realize a lot of you are illiterates and can’t tell the difference between rates and figures

If you have 1 million people poor among 10 million people, the poverty rate is 10%

If you have 1 million people poor among 20 million oeople, the poverty rate is 5%

What you posted isn’t rate but just figures. The least poverty rate still remains southwest. Please go to school abeg

Igbos will chest beat that they own markets in Lagos ,
You people no dey go school so you think a market is place where people gather to buy and sell.

To educate ipob illiterates in not my portion, we like you being illiterates so we can always rule over you

But just for the record, the biggest markets are not even physical. We have real estate, stock market, finance, and many more which are the drivers of the economy.
You are highly dispensable, if we expel all igbos from Lagos today, another set of people will take over those markets in 24 hours and nothing will shake .

You guys are empty and have no economic value as you think

We all agree that NBS data is relatively true.
The north has been ruling this country since from military era more than any region yet they languish in poverty and is increasingly increasing because whenever the masses wants to rise up they’ll use religion to control our decisions. Enough is enough. Let the poor breath

madscientist88:
dont mind the empty vessel who provided a dead link and an unverified screenshot,note how he rearranged the states in the list to favour the south east,this is why Biafra would continue to be mirage.your elders are corrupt and the youths are hopeless and confused.kogi state is an oil producing state,kogi can never be part of Biafra. yayah bello and his people have lost their chance,he is the only reason why kogi state is even at position 24 on the list,kogi has never been regarded as poor despite the fact that its not known for infrastructural development.a state which farm and mine minerals with a low population can never be a hungry state,it is so because the governor made it so but his time is up.

But I think OP list is good. Consider most of the top in OP list are the north.

Hmm, interesting!
Kano state has more poor people than the entire SE region

They should continue breeding like pigs so they can win election

You go explain tire yet no evidence. You people are deep in multi-dimensional poverty and that's why your entire region is covered in slums

Wretched slum dwellers, until you're able to live in decent cities and neighborhoods like Igbos, you're still dirt-poor

First off, this statistics shows the southwest is doing pretty fine as all our state has plentiful mixture of other tribes in them （which means multiple factors came up to push up those numbers）.
MOREOVER, LAGOS posting just 4.2millions is not quite bad considering the enormous population of the state. BUT all in all, we all should be doing better. OUR SOUTHWEST states should up their game. CREATE more employment, improve the agricultural sector and ensure more policies that will ultimately enhance MANUFACTURING and PRODUCTIVITY.

Illiterate talking,have u ever read NBS statistics...then u will know that ur education is a complete waste.

No wonder many of u are wretched and can only see things from a tribal perspective.

Dey play....

Lagos is more or less inhabited by many igbos....running private businesses and employing more people.... South west isn't automatically Yoruba in this sense, however, we all know that Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi, Abiriba and all of southeast are predominantly run by igbos in commerce and trade. So do your permutations.

Portharcourt, Iwo-Ibadan, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, and other major city areas have businesses own predominantly by the igbos.

Please mention one sector you dominate in Lagos. I am ready for this challenge

a state with the highest population has the lowest poverty rate hmm why can't I believe this or maybe the state don't actually have a population of 24million people

raskymonojendor:
The SouthEast will do a lot better if we start investing in our youth by empowering them with skills in trade, commerce and ICT which will go a long way in creating a multiplier effect on the southwest economic development.

Enough is enough, high time we eschew and do away with mkpurumiri, quick-money lifestyle of drug pushers and the violence of IPOB.

Don't be a fool, stay on topic and stop derailing .

All sectors EXCEPT bus conductors, agberos (motor park touts), bureau de change, suya spots.

No wonder yorubas are afraid of Igbo domination.

Drivers of Lagos IGR include;

Finance
Manufacturing
Telecommunications
Building and construction
Real estate
Food and beverages
Road Transportation
Hotels and luxury like Sheraton, And the rest

Among the top players are foreign investments in manufacturing, telecommunications, wholesale and retail outlets like ShopRite and many others

Please mention one that is dominated by igbos. Among the ones I listed, they are controlled by Yorubas and foreign investors. We also have northerners contribution like Dangote.
We have oil and gas companies headquartered in Lagos.
For example, I can say telecommunications by Mike Adenuga.
Or entertainment industry controlled by Yorubas

Just mention one for Igbos
