South Western people are just too humble to a fault. Big money guys. No noise at all.

When you see a people like the Yorubas that have the highest number of dollar billionaires and thousands of dollars multimillionaires in Africa,then you need no noise.
Even their musicians only are richer than most billionaires from other places.
It is surely Grace.

These people should stop fooling themselves. Nigeria has no reliable data because if you need credible data you must invest in it. It's a big joke that Kano or Kaduna isn't on that list. Organising an ordinary census is even a big issue in Nigeria.

The data seems to resonate, maybe you don't understand it.

Nigerians should stop looking away from the shenanigans of the northerners claiming poverty, Northerners are very wealthy and they just like camouflaging their wealths just to be getting aids and other benefits from other states while appearing as paupers to the public.

Northerns are not poor. Government should probe those people very well

The question is, are these former heads of states and big wigs of the north who once scamper to own properties in Kaduna still living in the state today?

Where they leaves makes them rich and not where ( village) they come from.. a lot leaving abroad are rich because of the places they are leaving otherwise why can't they be rich from home or villages.

It's correct. The stat shows the share of each state's residents who fall within the bracket of the highest income people in Nigeria (20% of all resident Nigerians). This means Lagosians have the most high income people in Nigeria, followed by Abuja, Edo, and so on.
This list is consistent with other stats we know already. So I am surprised that people are expecting Northern states, where poverty, low quality of life, subsistent livelihood are endemic and there is a wide gap between the few wealthy and the poorest of the poor, to be in the top 12 list. Come on now!
You don't need any stat for you to know that the most people doing well generally in Nigeria are the Southern part of the country.
