Ebonyi is actually poor. But I have two questions.

1.
What percentage of poverty alleviation funds or programmes by the federal government gets to Ebonyi State?

2.
What is the Common Entrance Examination cut-off mark for Ebonyi State?

Do the comparisons if you still doubt the glaring tribalism and marginalisation that the East faces in Nigeria.
Govts of Nigeria have always marginalised every region except the North.
They have always been tilted 65% to the North and 35% to theSouth.
This is why the agbaya in the North get restless and start complaining whenever a Southerner becomes President and does a few things differently.

IF Nigeria were a serious country, those states would be among the Richest.
If i haven't traveled out and around, I wouldn't have known.
Northerners are very very very hardworking, but Religion, the outright rejection of western education and the enthronment of low IQ individuals into key sensitive positions in such areas perpetually kept those parts like that, and so they shall remain until they decide to wake up.

For Ebonyi, I still see them soaring high. It's a matter of time. It's still a new state which was created to unlock its potentials. Religon isn't holding them back.

SW has been the richest region in Nigeria even without Lagos.It has been so since the inception of Nigeria.
We should take another look at regionalism,biko.
Without lagos how is the south west tge richest? It's the south south that has semblance of the richest without the impact of a federal capital economic influence.

SW is the economic power of Nigeria, just Lagos, Ogun and Oyo. This state carry weight.
Ondo state too has potential.

Fools choke here oo, statistics showing poor states ona they talk about South east and billionaires, not even the governors. God have mercy on you people.
Re: Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria by mctech(m): 9:33am On May 04, 2025
I'm very surprised a SE state could be poor.

I was actually hoping Osun or Ekiti will be on the list.

Meanwhile, those who use Monday sit-at-home order to mock the East are disappointed here as Enugu, Anambra, Abia and Imo are not on the list.
Don't bring victim mentality into this,I was even surprised to see Ebonyi in that list. I lnever Imagined to see any southern state on that list.
Re: Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria by CJStarz: 9:33am On May 04, 2025
Ebonyi no suppose be part of the list. It's a food producing state.

Keep denying the obvious reality. Ebonyi State is poor.

WBman:
D former governor of Ebonyi has hotels that are more than 10, houses that are more than 100...

Trillions of Naira on his disposal...

I swear to God, am not exaggerating
And what is wrong with that? It's his money and he did what pleased him with it.

Besides, check his biography. He was a billionaire before joining politics.

Ebonyi is just to balance equation

elder1002:
A STATE CAN BE RICH BUT FILLED WITH POOR People.

STATE THAT TASK ITS CITIZENS
STATE THAT UNDERPAYS WORKERS
STATE THAT ENRICHES ITS POLITICIANS


A POOR STATE CAN PRODUCE RICH PEOPLE BUT A RICH STATE MOSTIMES PROMOTES OPPRESSION AND POOR PEOPLE.

IF YOU CHECK WELL U WILL DISCOVER THIS STATE LISTED ABOVE HAVE CHEAP SERVICES AND GOODS.

ACCOMODATION IS CHEAP
TRANSPORTATION AFFORDABLE
FOOD IS VERY CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE

COMPARED TO LAGOS, ABUJA, PORTHARCOUT, DELTA AND OTHERS WHERE FOOD PRICES ARE HIGH, TRANSPORTATION EXPENSIVE AND HOUSES UNAFFORDABLE.

SALARY MAY BE HIGH BUT JUST HOUSE RENT ALONE SWALLOWS ALL YOUR 6 MONTHS SALARY.

YOU WORK AND DON'T EVEN HAVE EVIDENCE OF SAVINGS ..JUST WORKING FROM HAND TO MOUTH.

LIKE I SAID Earlier , A STATE MAY BE RICH BUT THE POVERTY LEVEL MAY BE HIGH.. PEOPLE LIVING BELOW STANDARD SUFFERING TO EXIST
Use lower case next time. Using capital letters all through makes your post hard to read because they strain the eyes.

Re: Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria by epainos: 9:39am On May 04, 2025
Statistics and data are flying around because Nigeria is about to break. When you see data and listen to their senators' arguments about wanting more and more like Ndume, something in you stirs. Na so separation builds up. It is a gradual thing.

If what I am seeing comes true, Tinubu will most likely be the last meaningful president of the United Nigeria. The north will suffer greatly because it is clear that they cannot do better than Niger and Chad. They lack efficient human capital and resource management because religion has eaten deep into their brains.

You can imagine the suffering that will occur when Nigeria separates and all benefits to Niger and Chad are halted because the north can no longer continue. Then they will realize they have been too foolish all along. They ruled Nigeria with the military for more than 30 years, and the country remains underdeveloped.

Na waooo!

May God keep us out of any unholy marriages. If you marry someone with a low IQ and can not reason like you, you are dead meat. Backwardness. Southern Nigeria must divorce the north in order to make significant progress.
Re: Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria by Global2000: 9:40am On May 04, 2025
This statistics are unbalanced. There is poverty everywhere in Nigeria. Most of the southern Nigerian states are equally languishing in poverty as well. The centre has failed. The best heads are been used. Its all about tribe.

Northerners are very very hardworking.
I lived among them for a few years and I ensured to travel to different parts.
Their problem is Religion and their successive wicked corrupt political leaders who fail to open their eyes through education and enlightenment. .
They are the only tribe in Nigeria without a specific culture outside Religion. Both are intertwined. Every other tribe has got a separate religion from culture.
If they had kept their pathway to feeding west Africa without BoKo Haram and extremism they would have gone far. No nation with such Agricultural plans ever sleeps hungry.
A farm in a county in Texas makes $5billion a year from sales of Agricultural produce.

And topping the list of herd voting pattern.

As I always say when poverty rises HSE (Health, Safety and the Environment) tanks.

Add to this the cognitive ability to decide ones future. It is a merciless, vicious cycle.
Re: Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria by sameks08(m): 9:43am On May 04, 2025
Ebonyi is only their because of influx on the north in their region. Real Ebony Indigene is hardworking

You can be in the richest State and still be poor and vice versa. I pray for you reading this this morning. May God grant you the wisdom and strength to break out of poverty irrespective of your location in Jesus' name.

Education, not religion. The ability to reason trumps religion anyday. And that is why terrorism secretly supported by their feudal elites specifically targets education.

When a man is mentally liberated and infused with information and the manipulation thereof (education) he begins to become a generator of virtue.

Is it not the same Islam practiced in the Middle East and Asia where technology and enterprise for prosperity is gaining ground.

Is it not the same Christianity that is practiced in the West and Americas where monumental strides have been made in national development by adherents.

The difference is education. The African loves feudalism across all religions. They love the 'rankadedes' as we call it, the 'my daddy or mommys'. They accept people thinking for them despite the Holy books open and accessible to all. Books they will not read nor try to understand.
