SIRTee15: Since you cannot read or grasp what you read I decided to help you out. The indicator of human development ranged from 4.1a to 7.9 4.1a under five mortality rate North West zone with 121 and North East zone with 78 had the highest under five mortality rate than the other zones. South West zone had 45 as the least.The only other sector SW ranked high 4.2. Infant mortality rate The deaths of infants under one year per 1,000 live births in Nigeria was also very high in 2004 where 100 children died without seeing their first birth day in every 1,000 live births. The deaths of infants have been on the decrease since 2008 in which 75 infants died per 1000 till 2014 with a record of 58. The prevalence of infant mortality in 2014 was more prominent in the rural areas with a record of 63 deaths than the urban with a record of 46 deaths per 1000 live births. Across the zones, the North West with 77%, followed by South East with 69, had more infants dying without seeing their first birth day in every 1000 live births. This is the ENTIRE post regarding infant mortality rate. Point out to me where SW was accreditated the least. Incase you cannot read, stating that NW had the highest followed by SE does not automatically mean SW has the least. The least could have been SS, NE, NC, etc. You self accreditated your region that title. As I stated earlier "THERE WAS NO PLACES IN THAT ARTICLE THAT gave SW tops in infant mortality rate. Now prove me wrong I triple DARE ya 4.3 measles immunization immunized in South East (82.4%), South West (81.2%) and South South (80.3%). Although North Central (77.0) was not bad, yet North East (42.4) and North West (35.4%) were not encouraging. One year old children were predominantly immunized in the urban areas (56.2%) than the rural areas (39.95) 5.2 child birth using skilled workers South East (89.1%) had the highest record of delivery assisted by skilled birth attendant. 5.3 contraceptive prevalence Contraceptive prevalence was highest in South East zone with a of 43%, followed by South West (24.0%). 5.4 Antenatal care South East (88.3%) had the highest number of visits. South West (78%) and North Central (65.80) had encouraging number of antenatal visits. But very few pregnant women in North West (38.1%) and North East (32.9%) attended antenatal up to four times 5.6 unmet needs for family planning Across the zones, there were higher incidences of unmet need in North West (27.4) and North East (25.8%) than the rest of the zones. The experience was very low in the South East (11.4%). 6.3 Comprehensive knowledge in HIV NC and SE had that stats written up as the least. 6.4 sleeping under nets Majority of the pregnant women were from the South West (45.3%) zone as compared to the least in North East (16%) zone.This is not a human development index incase you weren't aware 7.9 water sanitation Although in 2014, the urban areas recorded about 74.6% against the 57.6% of the rural, yet access within the zones showed that it was only in South West that a 70.6% access to improved sources was recorded. The rest of the zones lingered between 68% and 53%.The only other sector SW ranked tops. These are all the sectors in terms of human development and like I said earlier, SW was on top in 2 sectors out of 8 sectors. You ranked the least in every other sectors excluding two more where you place a tiny slight above SS (even though I doubt that). The fact you place tops in 2 sectors does not mean you people have the highest in human development. SE still had highest percentage when all sectors in overall human development. 5 sectors out of 8 out beats 2 out of 8 sectors. Common sense. In terms of the human development SW scored 25% in comparison to others 63% In terms of education, they beat una. In terms of human development they beat una Now do you have any more question? Or do you need more clarification on simple statistics 17 Likes |

Having been to Aba and Onitsha, the reason why you guys run away from that backward region became clear to me. Did you remember how you fools deceived yourself when Odua built Enugu airport and told you fools that you had arrived. However, till date you and your children are still here hawking goods on our streets. Pls, come to the West and see how your teenagers are being used as house girls and boys under the pretence of apprenticeship. The rate at which you guys run away from your backward region says it all. It does not happen anywhere in the world to see people migrating from a place where they have got a good standard of living to where there is none.

IMR and maternal mortality rate are strong measures of socio-economic status of a community.

SIRTee15: This is my last reply to you. I don't like teaching people common sense. I'm not your counselor. Infant mortality rate was based on 1 out of 1000 children meaning 999 children survived therefore your comment on SE children not seeing their first birth day is relitively stupid. Btw: incase you weren't aware, Child mortality rate in Nigeria is EXTREMELY high in comparison to every other nation be it developed or developing. SW under 5 mortality rate, which is 45% is not that much lower than SE infant mortality which is 69%. Both case are still a high freaking number and something that needs to be address. So instead of jumping that you scored higher than one region in one sector despite them scoring higher in pretty much everything else, I suggest go home and figure out to reduce the high mortality rate in that country rather than feeling mighty just because you had a slight lower high rate. One more thing are you serious about maternal and infant mortality goes hand in hand. Are you really serious? I'm not even going to address that cause I honestly don't believe even you believe that BS. Finally I'm not from SE, I just don't like lying BS especially when the evidence is right infront of us all to read. Is an insult to all intellect 11 Likes 2 Shares |

mountain2019: I will tell what backwardness is all about; In a Capitalist State Like Ours, Wealthy Firms With Healthy Cash Flow Control The Economy Not Petty Traders. "I have investigated all the 20 top Nigerian companies listed below as compiled by authoritative Forbes business magazine and none of them is based in Igbo land or controlled by the so called ‘Igbo business men’. Impressively, 20 Nigerian companies made it to the list of Top 25 companies in West Africa. They include: • Dangote Cement • Zenith Bank PLC • Ecobank Transnational Incorporated • Nigerian Breweries Plc • First Bank Plc • Guaranty Trust Bank Plc • United Bank for Africa • Guinness Nigeria • Nestlé Nigeria • Access Bank • Flour Mills Nigeria • Union Bank of Nigeria • Stanbic IBTC • First City Monument Bank • Lafarge Cement WAPCO • Total Nigeria • Unilever Nigeria • PZ Cussions • UACN • Cadbury Nigeria Plc According to Forbes, Nigeria has 20 of the best 25 companies in West Africa. It is only a fool who will believe Igbo postulation that it is street trader’s and hawkers that controls an economy. If that hypothesis is valid, then the Indians and Pakistanis in Britain can also claim that they [are] in charge of British economy because over 70% of petty street trading in Britain is in the hand of the Asians. However, we all know that actual British economy is firmly in the hands of the Britons. The same is factual for Germany and France where Turkish and North African Algerians are their own local version of Igbo. The only difference is that these other 'gypsies’' are more knowledgeable of who they are in their host countriy's economy, unlike ignorant Igbo petty street traders in Yoruba land."

emmatok: Abi oo Sheath your swords Hahahahaha, what a joke . Why don't you bring out your arsenals and make war if you're so certain of winning. With a few exceptions, the majority of ibos leaders keep making political miscalculations both in federal and state levels that hinder their progress as a people, and then blame everybody else but themselves when the consequences of their choices come into play. Yorubas might be friendly but they aren't stüpid; they might be patient but they are deadly - as deadly as a venomous belcher’s sea snake. Mess with this tribe at your own peril. So it is now they know that they have economic interests and assets in Lagos worth protecting, yet always eager to disrupt the fragile political and social status quo in place that begets a peaceful and prosperous coexistence. Is this not self-sabotage? Do you think for a moment the Yorubas are blind to the subtle and tactical aim for a gradual takeover of Lagos State the Ibos are planning and acting out? No, the Yorubas have x-ray vision in this case and can see your plans to the bones. It's just right now the sensible Yoruba leaders are still busy with clearing out the "omoale" leaders (as they call it) from their zones and building a solid political foundation for a brighter future for the Yoruba region and its people. Once they are through (and they are almost through), then the ibos case will be opened and addressed thoroughly. What is happening right now that the Yorubas seem to "overlook" certain anomalistic behavior of the ibos is best described by their idiom that says "Iya yin owa ninu cooler" - hope I got it right. That is, your punishment is still inside the cooler; and you will eat it hot in due time, unless there's a change. Lagos State is a very complex society, it is like the New York of America; and every tribe in Nigeria have significant populations in Lagos. Whether it is Binis, Hausas, Ijaws, Idomas, Itshekiris, calabars...or whether peoples from Warri, makurdi, maiduguri, Kabba and other places etc! Lagos State as a society is a perfect microcosm of the totality of the Nigerian society at large. However, it has become commonplace for only the ibos (who subconsciously due to the unfortunate civil war continue to see the Yorubas as their social, economic and political enemies) to want to rigorously compete against the Yorubas as if a battle for conquest and Lagos State is one of the spoils of war. That's why you can already witness the ibos designating Lagos as a "no-mans land" on one hand; but yet on other hand methodically trying to take over the so-called no-man's land. This is totally wrong and unacceptable. Lagos state can never be converted to Ibo land, not now and not in a trillion years from now. Every Nigerian tribe I believe have a part of the land no matter how small that is theirs or rather they are the custodians of due to ancestry, conquest or what have you. But the era of conquests is over and no individual tribe has the moral or legal right, or political might to encroach or seize another tribe's accustomed lands. Only the federal government can further share lands to/from tribes as they see fit, and even with all the federal might this can't be done with impunity anymore because fortunately for everyone the era of military rule is over. No federal government will ever share Lagos to any tribe other than Yorubas. It is their inheritance in Nigeria. The ibo inhabitants in Lagos need to understand this: Lagos was, is and always will be a Yoruba State. So the earlier you drop your scheming of "conquering" Lagos, the better for you. Now, regarding taxation and the DEVELOPMENT of Lagos State, many ibos keep making erroneous claims. They say stuff like: without ibos Lagos State would not have developed the way it has; ibos pay the most taxes; ibos built Lagos; Lagos can't survive without ibos...blah blah blah! Seeing how far this fallacy is spreading, it's best the matter is addressed for the sake of clarity and peace. First off, taxation of businesses and individuals in Lagos State isn't peculiar or exclusive to ibos alone. Everyone pays tax, irrespective of tribe - heck, even Yorubas pay tax and are not exempted. The Lagos State government doesn't have a discriminating taxation policy. Its tax policy is blind to tribe. Ibos don't pay more than everybody else and Yorubas don't pay less that everybody else. The tax percentages are at fixed rates. If we're talking about "amount" of taxes being generated on a tribal basis, unless you're the accountant general of Lagos State, it remains arguable which tribe brings in the highest percentage of taxes. Quantity doesn't necessarily translate to bigger amounts. For example, one company's tax returns in VI can be greater than the tax returns of 100,000 businesses tax returns in Oshodi and Agege combined. So tax revenues can't be estimated based on "quantity" of businesses. Therefore, because there is a proliferation of businesses by ibos across Lagos doesn't necessarily mean or translate that ibos are the largest contributors of taxes. Also, taxes aren't collected along tribal lines; so it will be really difficult for any tribe to indisputably PROVE that they are the largest tax contributors. All the noise ibos keep making claiming to be the ones are unfounded assumptions originating from the most unrealistic parts of their figments of imagination. They have no documented facts with figures from the Lagos state government to legitimize such false claims. It just might be the Hausas, Binis, Ijaws or some other tribe - who knows! As for development, whether economic and social, Lagos state even before it became a federal capital has always been thriving and prosperous. This is one of the major reasons Lagos later was selected to be a federal capital in the first place. It was an exceptionally promising state booming with exponential economic and social development potential vital for Nigeria's nation building. Lagos wasn't selected out of the blues or by raffle draw to become the federal capital. It was political genius to have done so. I can't dwell so much on this and anyone in doubt can look through the established history books and educate themselves. Development is progressive; it never stops or isn't meant to stop. After Lagos became a Federal capital, the development continued. After it lost that status, the development still continued and federal capital or no federal capital, one thing you could never strip from Lagos State is its super-economic potential. It was a state destined for greatness and nothing could stop it. Economically speaking, Lagos State was like the hand of Midas and everything that touches it turns to gold. To make money, isn't that the foremost reason all tribes have migrated to Lagos? Can't money be made elsewhere? Yes, but certainly not at the speed and success rate Lagosians seem to do it in Lagos. The economic potential was what brought the ibos to Lagos - it's all about coming to make money! Yes, just like everybody else that came, the ibos came to make money and make a life. Now that they have done so, the rest of the tribes can't rest again because the ibos feel they have arrived and arrogantly act as if they now own the state forgetting they met people here when they came. Ibos weren't the first tribe to prosper in Lagos, and ibos won't be the last; ibos aren't the first billionaires in Lagos, and ibos won't be the last. So why all the braggadocious display of economic arrogance towards other tribes, especially your hosts? Dangote (a billionaire in $$$$$) lives in Lagos and a considerable chunk of his business empire is in Lagos but he's not making noise and disturbing the peace in the land, so why must the ibos be harassing others and causing commotion just because they have attained some measure of wealth and every other tribe in Lagos should bow to you. It will never happen. This arrogant character has to stop. No one is intimidated by the ibos wealth because as far as Lagos is concerned, there are wealthy people from all tribes living there. Now, some more history, ibos didn't bring money to Lagos; rather they came to make money from Lagos. And ibos did, some legally and some illegally. Regarding taxes, whatever monies paid to the Lagos government wasn't made in Onitsha, Aba, Owerri, or Umuahia etc. It was made in Lagos and through Lagos. So it's only reasonable and proper that the taxes due be remitted to Lagos. If ibos are paying tens of billions naira in taxes to Lagos, then it's because they have already made hundreds of billions naira. And this is the same for all other tribes, so why are the ibos making a big deal out of this as if they're doing what nobody else is doing in Lagos. Businesses only pay taxes based on what you earn in the state and through the state. You don't pay what you didn't earn. So why are ibos talking as if the taxes they pay to Lagos was earned in Onitsha and they were compelled by the government to bring the money to Lagos; wasn't it earned in Lagos? Regarding the social development of Lagos, did ibos develop Lagos? No! The ibos developed themselves. The ibos didn't build Lagos roads, bridges, schools, rail, or other public infrastructure. Who built all these? The federal and state governments using national and state resources respectively. So am I saying the ibos built nothing in Lagos? No, i'm not. Then what exactly did the ibos build in Lagos? Well, the ibos built THEIR homes, built THEIR houses, built THEIR businesses...etc! So essentially, the ibos built themselves in Lagos - no more, no less. You didn't build for Lagos, you built for yourselves in Lagos, same thing with other tribes, but the ibos keep talking blindly as if they are charity and what they built was handed over to society. Now you might want to say, What of the taxes they paid, didn't the government use taxpayers money to develop Lagos? Well, ibos are not the only ones who paid taxes. Hausas, ijaws, igallas, idomas, binis, urobos...also did too! Every tribe paid taxes in Lagos, heck even foreigners too. But yet, it's only the ibos making silly noise that they developed Lagos. This childish stupidity is annoying, and you should grow up mentally. If ibos built houses, you built it so that you can enjoy; if you built businesses, you built it so that you can enjoy...and so on! You built yourselves in Lagos, you didn't build Lagos. You developed yourselves in Lagos, you didn't develop Lagos. Lagos State is a natural economic magnet attracting investments from investors locally and globally. Those who bring in money are bringing in money to make more money or other benefits - and not for charity. There's always something to gain from Lagos. If all ibos and ibos assets were to be relocated from Lagos to the SE, would it destroy the Lagos economy? No, not in any way in reality. That "vacuum" (whether properties or investments) created will be filled almost instantly. As it is, there are thousands upon thousands of people rushing to get here daily, and millions more (both locals and foreigners) would come settle here if such a vacuum existed. Lagos is already in shortage of lands and many settlement projects are being built on the seas, like the Eko Atlantic city. I could go on but even this is enough to prove the versatility of the economic prosperity of the land flowing with milk and honey called Lagos state. For several years, the OBJ administration deprived Lagos of federal funds, yet Lagos didn't even feel it one bit. Lagos is a hub of prosperity on its own, take it or leave it. So the ibos shouldn't get it twisted, Lagos will continue to prosper with or without you. Nigeria needs the ibos and the ibos need Nigeria. But Lagos doesn't need the ibos; it's the ibos that need Lagos. Now stop creating any more conflict drama in Lagos than you already have and appreciate your hosts and other tribes. If the ibos are disgusted about paying taxes to Lagos and coexisting peacefully with mutual respect for the Yorubas hosts and other tribes inhabiting Lagos, then well the South East needs further development, the South East governments need taxes too to perform their obligations, so you're free to go to your home states and do the needful. 1 Like |

Twistaray: They more you yorubas comment, the ,more the educational statistics of the south east makes sense. When did the wealth of a company equate to individual wealth. Most if not all of these companies have share holders both local and foreign including so many igbos. Even the head of the Nigerian stock exchange is an igbo man. Petty traders? If you saw my uncle today, you will call him a petty trader but two months ago during a business discussion, the man open up to me that he has about $13 million in assets. From land to shops to houses to businesses all combined. You will never know this. There are millions of igbo traders like him with big money. So please call him petty trader while his oldest daughter is about take her toefl exam to start college in USA. ALL PAID FOR. 12 Likes 1 Share |

seeker121: Is very unfortunate that you responded to others success and advancement with hate and propaganda. Well let me burst your bubble: Ekiti does NOT have the highest number of PHD / Professors in Nigeria. Here is the 2014 PHDs / Professors in Nigeria: Imo state Delta state Anambra state Ondo state Check NUC ( National University Commission ) Some questions: >> What is the meaning of "sophistication"? >> And do you ascribe that compound word to a tribe or a set of people? >> Do you have any evidence to DISPROVE this report? >> Do you think is wise in 21st century to claim 'superiority' can't back with raw evidence? 9 Likes 1 Share |

[b]Isn't this why your region is running a vain rat race behind the Biafran's? (SE and SS) You said you investigated the following companies you listed and didn't find a prominent Igbo man/woman or better stated a Biafran at the helm of affairs. Hahaha this coward and oily region make me laugh now let me educate you a bit: 1. Zenith Bank Plc : Key people Jim Ovia, Chairman Peter Amangbo, CEO 2. Ecobank Transnational PLC: Key people Emmanuel Ikazoboh[2] Chairman Albert Essien Group CEO[3] 3. First Bank Plc: Lagos, Nigeria Key people Urum Kalu (UK) Eke, MFR Executive Director , South[3] 4. United Bank of Africa: Key people Tony O. Elumelu, C.O.N[1] Group Chairman Phillips Oduoza Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Kennedy Uzoka Apollos Ikpobe Deputy Managing Director 5. Access Bank: Key people Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede Former Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Herbert Wigwe Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer[2] 6. Union Bank Nigeria: Key people Senator. Udo Udoma Chairman Emeka Emuwa Group Managing Director 7. Stanbic IBTC: Key people Atedo N.A. Peterside Founder and Chairman Now Fool go back to your primary, secondary and university educational institutions and ask them for a full refund and give that money to Obinna to put into good use Note: 7 of those companies you listed are all foreign enterprises and so the key people/Owners are all foreigners, therefore if you can pour some hot water to that your oily brain and count how many companies are left to your yourrruubwa and Hawwuuusa conspirators, you will have nothing but adoration to the Most High God for blessing Biafrans [/b]Twistaray: 12 Likes |

CaptainOjemba: No - Ekiti was NEVER a leading supplier of PHDs and Professors in Nigeria. It was one of the education based propaganda of the SW. And it was allowed to stay because statistics were not readily available in the 60s and 70s. However since the past 15 years, the SW has NEVER claimed first in education from Primary to University levels. And the last 5-6 years has been worse for them - always coming third in all education records. 9 Likes 1 Share |

OkparaIgbo: So, those are no longer nigerians? And are those Igbo? Eh eh : Nigerians have made the Forbes list of richest people in the world the reason been that Forbes estimates the wealth of individuals and rank them based on the value of shares they have in quoted companies (companies listed on the stock exchange). The few Nigerians that have the list are Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga and Femi Otedola. The list of top 21 Richest Nigerian billionaires has been based on: The value of their shares held in quoted companies, the size and market share of their companies, the number of companies they own and its assumed value, the market value of their company’s brand and the impact of their companies on the Nigerian economy.
