nlfpmod. The data has been throughly interpreted for easy comparison.

simple87:
Your argument is not valid. Poverty indices during Tinubu regime might be high but you need to show what it was before he came to power in 1999, that provide a good ground for comparison.

In Obi case, looking at data before he ascended to power and what it was when he was in power, there was an increase in poverty rate in the state, which is a failure on his part as a governor.

Beyond this, my own grouse with him, is that he shouldn't have gone to demarket a country you are so passionate to lead on a global stage, that is absolutely wrong, and I hope he learn from this backlash.

Putindbutt:
If nlfpmod pushed this thread without first pushing my thread to FP, I will report him to seun. Because I was the one who created a thread to fact check Governor SanwoOlu with NBS data to back it up. And it was the NBS data on my thread that you copied on this thread.

Tinubu took over from the Military and poverty was declining under Tinubu till he left office but Peter Obi took over from Ngige when Poverty was 41% and Obi increased it to 57% yet you're here defending the failures of Agulu fraud.

Beside, he who comes into equity must come with clean hands.

Funnily, the op who created this thread will eventually run away when we bring out the real data.

Inferiority complex have done so many damages to some people. Aje

Saao:
In the month of April, over 150 people killed by terrorists but that's not a problem for you people, rather politics is your problem. Don't forget you can be kill by the same people that killed those people. What's politics without security or development?

jmoore:
Real data or fabricated data?

Just park one side.

Babablu bulabu.

I don't learn from you people.
How many of Tinubu supporters are intelligent?

Obi was governor from 2006-2014. What was the poverty indices for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 before he left?

For Tinubu that had poverty rate of 69% which is almost 70%. Would you believe any report that Lagos had 90% poverty rate before Tinubu became governor?
