Re: The Poorest State In Nigeria by importexpert(m): 5:41pm On Jun 29, 2015
poor interns of revenue generation or revenue allocation?
Re: The Poorest State In Nigeria by MKO4ever(m): 5:41pm On Jun 29, 2015
I have been to all the states in Nigeria, and so this is based on my opinion:

Jigawa is the poorest state-As at 2010 it was still the only state without Mr Biggs

Yobe is next: As at my last visit in 2011; Damaturu-the state capital has only one small roundabout on its major road, the state is really poor

Next on line is Kogi state - Maybe because its ma state, but we've always had clueless Governors

Bayelsa is also poor and dry, Though appeared to be getting revenue inflow, but there is no Development in the area

Oyo is also poor

Osun,nasarawa,taraba,yobe and kebbi.
NOTE : Borno receives great revenue as a result of the lake Chad basin.They are nowhere near a poor state.

Igbos who naturally would rather get involved in business rather than join the civil service means that her states don't bear massive burdens of paying workers who as a majority offer nothing in return to mother states in terms of revenue and services (not)rendered. Therefore her states have more money to use on capital intensive projects instead.So her 5 states can't be the poorest.

Niger-delta states,oil revenue,13% derivation,so can't be categorised as the poorest
