Keep denying the obvious reality. Ebonyi State is poor.

Oga ooo

The problem is how to identify those who are truly poor. There are people in Nigeria who are classified as poor, that is, living on less than a dollar daily. But some of these people may have much more money at their disposal. Ordinarily you'd classify beggars as poor, but believe me many of them aren't poor at all, they're just preying on other people's generosity. A man recently narrated how he'd been giving a certain beggar 2k on Fridays, but later discovered that the beggar owns three keke that he's hiring out. The method they are using in assessing the poverty level is misleading and wrong.

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.

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. They even published that the sit-at-home order has crippled the economy of the East.

Be realistic. Ebonyi is a very young State. Ebonyi, Enugu and Anambra were together as one State. During that period, development was focused more on Enugu as the state capital. This also explains why Enugu is more developed than Anambra despite the fact that Anambra has richer people. Anambra was later carved out. Enugu and Ebonyi remained together as one State for some years before Ebonyi was carved out.

Somehow, some poor people in unmentioned states will be licking their tongues and be smiling quietly while muttering, "atleast am richer than some people"

What kind of mindset is this, please drop this victim mentality. You have 9 Northern states in that list of 10. Northerners are not going to come and blame anyone, except politics. The list could easily contain states like Ekiti and Osun and nobody will bate an eyelid. Try to live free from victimhood.

Please re-caption these caption.

These states are not poor, the wealth is held by a few people.
In Taraba state theophilus Danjuma is worth over 2 billion dollars,
In Sokoto state Ahmed Dasuki is worth over 1 billion dollars.
In Adamawa state Atiku and Indimi are worth atleast 8 billion dollars
In Ebonyi we have High Chief Ifeanyi Odii
In Zamfara Gen. Aliyu Gusau has over a billion dollars
In Kebbi Shehu Malami is worth a billion dollars

The wealth is concentrated by a few people. Its the governments responsibility to enforce that the wealth is spread.Since Lagos has a high GDP.The government should set up cooperatives boards in these places. Buy animals from local families, goats and cows, chickens and then arrange for them to be transported to Lagos.

These will help the small mom and pop families that raise animals as a means of livelihood. The bourgeoisie in these states do not care about the indigents, they are using their wealth to enslave them and guarantee servitude.

Nigerian government have not yet figured out how to get money to the grassroots. The wealth of a whole state is sometimes hijacked by 2-3 people in that whole state. The governor, his Godfather and a few other power-brokers.

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.

Ruke1990:
Release the list of top 10 under performing governors instead because brainless governors made these people or states poor.

Let's highlight the underperformers for people to be educated about what their problems really are rather than pitch one tribe against another or one state against another. We can have:

List of top 10 most corrupt governors
List of top 50 under performing lawmakers
List of top 10 misfits amongst the ministers
List of senators who proposed zero bills in 4 years
List of 50 most under performing government agencies

I don't really believe these reports but it's interesting to read. Almost 80% poverty rate in Ebonyi? 🤔

Ikaeniyan0:
It's a lie, Ebonyi is filled with billionaires

jrobbins:
Kogi is not poor o

Ebonyi is poor. It is the reason I occasionally questioned why the airport project was hyped. Airport is not among the most pressing needs of the State.
