As far as I am concerned, Nigeria has no credible data until reliable auditing organisations like KPMG, Ernst and PwC start auditing all stats. Organisations are not willing to invest in data collection in Nigeria

I'm sad. My people voted for Tinubu because of tribalism. Now people are killing themselves in southwest due to hunger. I want to relocate to Anambra. I'm tired of living in Osogbo.

Just look at what Tinubu has reduced Nigeria to?

This is really disheartening.

Taking ones own life shouldn't be a thing to consider at all.

Please let's endeavour to always check on people we know and support those in need the best way we can.

.. That's not true. How can you give your national data to a private organization? Don't you know that is a security issue? In every part of the world, people rely on national statistics. The only authoritative body we should listen to is NBS but NBS released data on kidnapping and the politicians did not like the look on their government. Na statistics we go chop?

Your politicians don't like data because it doesn't lie but when they want to campaign in opposition, they love data 🤡
