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.

It's a lie, Ebonyi is filled with billionaires

Iweakbro:
Just imagine... Your brothers? This is why Anioma must not join the southeast.

NotProphet:
How is SW the richest region?

I made a mistake. The 3 states were called Anambra. I meant to say that Enugu and Ebonyi were carved out of Anambra. But Enugu was the capital when the 3 states were together. I have corrected the mistake. Thank you for pointing it out.

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. Enugu and Ebonyi were later carved out to coexist as one State and they remained together as such for some years before Ebonyi was carved out of Enugu.

AmazingGenius:
Most of the poorest states are concentrated in the northern region.

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.

Where is Ekiti?

7lives:
The west coast was their turf, they've been rich before independence, and still consolidating on their position.
Hope you dig?, Yorubas are also nationals of other countries in the West coast, so they've been leveraging on this for a loooonnng time.
