so you finally wwoke up from the slumber. In terms of mega wealthy people, dangote will neutralize the most wealthy 1,000 igbo businessmen.
His people are getting VAT, religious subsidy, agric subsidy and more every year. Can Igbo boast of those?

Let the playing field be kept level without interferences from Nepotistic leaders and we'll watch Dangote and other Northern Oligarchs die out in less than 5 years. You think Importation is the destiny of the Igbos?
We were pushed into buying and selling by the blindness of Nigerian leaders who have refused to create enabling environments for industrialization. If we leave this tragedy called Nigeria and have a sovereign Igbo state, Biafra will be the Japan of Africa.

A small village with 1 dollar multi billionaire alhaji with the rest of the population extremely poor and illiterate is a poor village compared to another rich small village with no single dollar multi billionaire alhaji but almost 90% are in the middle class and well educated.

go to Kano and see actual 25-30 y/o billionaires. Not all these arrangee malaysia ones.

lol…I go still Dey talk am…we have to breakup this country…make northern Naija Dey go,..na dem Dey pull us back

MadamVanessa:
In terms of wealth that spread evenly, let's keep sentiment aside, Igbos are ahead of all the tribes in Nigeria.

The only place where wealth is well spread is among the Yorubas and this is why they don't flee from their region like the Igbos.
Both the Yoruba men and women are wealth builders but for Igbos,their women mostly sell things like okpa,groundout etc.
You can never see a Yoruba person go and beg in other regions just like a white man will not come and beg in Nigeria but not for the other major tribes.

You are right and Yorubas are the only people that have massive businesses not only in Nigeria but abroad.They also have businesses that are more than 100,90,80 years and no other tribe comes close.
All the major tribes are rich but none comes close to the Yorubas because of the spread.
You wouldn't believe that only Ibadan has more than 11 GRAs and more infrastructures than most cities in Nigeria.
That is the power of wealth building..

🤔

I know South Eastern States will top the chat... All the south Eastern States have very low poverty and this is due to low dependency on government, central etc.....

Yorubas have the highest dollar and naira billionaires both in Nigeria and abroad.
They control oil and its value chain,building materials,jewelleries,sea food and frozen foods,ICT etc.
Some Igbo men and Hausa men are rich and in business but their women are not but both Yoruba males and females own massive businesses.
Yoruba churches are the richest.
Yoruba musicians are the richest.
Yoruba movie producers are the richest.
The list is endless even Yoruba agberos
are the richest.
You can never see a Yoruba person beg in other regions like the others.
To cap it all,Yorubas both in Nigeria and abroad do owambe parties like kilode.
If any other major tribe tries to do parties like the Yorubas,they will become totally bankrupt.
Yorubas have always been the richest tribe not only in Nigeria but West Africa and the evidences are there without noise.

Very apt,bro.

These stats are not reliable. Records say the North buy more cement than the South. They are less than sixty percent but buy almost sixty percent. The more you look the less you see. However their society is backward. That much is true. They are very underbanked for instance

Idontknowyou:
Not surprise the Northern State are the one with the Highest.. But their so called leaders be hiding all the wealth for their own Children and then Telling their people to Hope for Paradise 😂😂😂

Exactly, reason the poor are now collecting it back by force by kidnapping and banditry. They are only highest on religion with zero value on economy

There's something about Osun state.

She's talking about wealth spread not wealth concentrated on one person. The Igbo have a wider wealth spread compared to every other tribe in Nigeria. The VAT and subsidies that you mentioned are not getting to the wider masses in the north, those monies are shared within the round tables of the elite class, you're talking as if you're not a Nigerian.
I doubt you've been to the north, I served I'm Katsina during my NYSC, the poverty in the north is extremely depressing, that's why they're easily recruited by bandits and terrorists. The Northern elites have really done great evil on their people.

ariesbull:
I doubt! The level of begging in South West is on a different scale...have you been to OYO , start from challenge ! Have you been to Ijebu Mushin and Ijebu Itele ... And see

When you go to east you will notice buildings, how they look and they don't even beg

Well, you can argue but the truth stares us... And I feel terrible that Abia isn't in the top 5

Even in Lagos the begging is too much.

Putinofrussia:
If you see anybody begging in the SW,it is the Igbos and Hausa poor people that fled to the SW.

You sef know that you're trolling yourself. The Yorubas are the primary beggars in SW. Bro na Lagos I dey stay, Una people sabi beg! Ahn ahn... Go to Ajah under bridge na Una beggars full there, them dey even compete with the northern beggars on that road leading to Ado. Go to bedore, langbasa na the same thing. They're Infront of everry mall or eatery begging. Abi make we talk about Agungi, osapa and Jakande? Even in orchid road and Ikota them full there, now they have started gathering at the coastal road begging and stealing from people. Even the working class South westerners beg a lot too, I have stopped calling some of my SW friends because each time I do them go beg me for money, if it's not for recharge card it's for urgent 2k.

Na person wey no know you people Una go dey decieve for this site

1144AK:
"Did everything by their selves" hmmm

They literally did. After the war They rebuilt their infrastructures all by themselves except for the niger bridge. I'm talking about schools, airports, buildings and all, and they did it after losing everything they had in the Bank and only getting £20 from the government. Today they're the region with the least poverty while the north which never experienced any form of war is leading in poverty percentage.

So yeah the Igbo should pat themselves on the back, they've done well despite the country's best efforts to keep them down.

CodeTemplar:
Thats fabricated. You mean the people who recieve N1 trillion in farm input yearly, lack food, yet are food basket of the nation?
How many contradiction in one sentence.

No vex o but You don't sound really bright

Yet, Obi is their problem. They have vowed not to vote an Igbo and at the same time vowed to remain in their poverty

Tell am, he probably doesn't know the story... It sounds strange to them to hear that people did things themselves without waiting for the government..

There are no proof for all these claims. If Hausa have more billionaires than Igbos then they also have more millionaires. Do you think they are joking in their towns and cities? It is millionaires that become billionaires so if you have more billionaires you definitely have more millionaires. If Hausa are poor how come the North is consuming cement more than their population? Poor people have money to build houses more than rich people?. All these stats are not reliable. Hausa have to upgrade themselves by making basic education compulsory but even presently they are not all that behind as NUC records now say they have the second highest number of Professors after the Yoruba.
The number of Igbos outside the East is negligible. Total number of Southerners in the North is less than three million out of which Yoruba will definitely be the highest. So Igbos are concentrated in their region just like other groups. What work are the Igbos doing in their cities to make them wealthier or what policies do they have on ground to distribute wealth more effectively than others?. We all know the wealthy neighborhoods in Nigeria. If you are making claims it will be better to back it up with real figures. There are beggars everywhere but it is a culture among the Hausa is the difference and most Hausa beggars are definitely not poor people. Beggars are generally scammers not different from online fraudsters

Osun state is poverty thriving especially among classes of educated ones. It's case of poverty is worse than Oyo state. Yet Oyo state is not even listed in the categories shown.

This mod abi bot
Why did you hide or ban my comment?

Tell me how can you ban or hide a TRUTH that is so obvious?

Once again

Nigeria is the undisputed, heavyweight most puperized and terrorized poverty capital of the world

Moderator do your worst

Even peller confirm am say southwesterners of Nigerian are beggers

After his tour to the east thou


So no need to drag anything with HELINUES and YARIMO

Yorubas have the widest spread of their wealth than any other group in Nigeria and this is why you will never see them begging in other regions and they have the highest dollar and naira billionaires both in Nigeria and abroad.

I'm currently handling a project in Uloano. Your observation is true. There's no village in SE that doesn't boast of massive structural developments

MadamVanessa:


Even before opening, I knew already that south east states will top it.

I'm not from south east, but if you're opportune to be In south east , I don't mean their urban areas, because that one speaks for itself, I mean interior villages, and see the massive sophisticated structural buildings in these villages, you'll know that South east is no body's mate in this country .

I did my national youth service in Imo state, Isu L.G.A, Uloano village precisely. what my eyes saw in that interior village and the surrounding villages, my mouth cannot say it. I saw castles .

CodeTemplar:
it is a lie from hell. Add what they get from directly mining and selling resources to what thier imams and malams recieve and you have them dwarf the south in allocation.
Over N1 trilion agric intervention also heads to that region. Many foreign NGO are active there also.

So what poverty are we looking at in the north?
Poor people who feed the nation and can block food passage down south are not actually poor.

Not really. They’re still poor. Agriculture in the north is mostly oligopolistic. A few individuals run the sector. Not all northerners are large scale agriculturalists. As such, their individual affluence does not translate to widespread wealth creation because these few individuals only have a few thousands in their workforce, most of whom are probably paid disproportionately compared to the top 1% in the business.

Also, Nigeria still imports a large portion of its food (well over 80% from what I read). Most of what we consume are imported foods, not locally produced. The fact that the north is known for agriculture doesn’t mean they own the food industry. They don’t. That’s why they’re poor.

Dangotes wealth says nothing about his peoples poverty. Dangote is also wealthier than the wealthiest persons in the Scandinavia. That doesn’t mean Hausas are richer than Northern Europeans.
