Where is Kogi? Kogi suppose to be on that list. Proudly IgalaboY.
How many shoemakers, Tailors, Suya vendors, mairuwa, beggars and de rest do you know that are from kogi state? This is an objective list. If you have travelled far you shudnt be surprised that is it dominated by those states. The poverty in those parts is glaring.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, these 10 states are the poorest in Nigeria with over 70% poverty rate.

A survey carried out on the bureau’s website, disclosed that Sokoto remains the poorest state in Nigeria with an 81.2% poverty rate.

1. Sokoto

Sokoto has unfriendly climate conditions with temperature going as high as 45C on a normal day. Most parts of the state are rural areas and over eighty percent (80%) of the inhabitants of Sokoto practice one form of agriculture or another.

2. Katsina

Katsina is a state in North central Nigeria and has the highest poverty prevalence among all states in the region.

3. Adamawa

Formed in 1991 from the extinct Gongola state, Adamawa has of late been terrorized by the Boko Haram terrorists, disrupting its economic development and growth.

4. Gombe

Gombe is another North eastern state which suffers sporadic attacks from terrorists.

5. Jigawa

Jigawa state is situated in the north-western part of the country. It is mostly populated by the Hausa/Fulani, who are spread throughout the state. It has a 74.1 percent poverty rate.

6. Plateau

Plateau state is the twelfth largest state of Nigeria haunted by some terrorist attacks and tribal clashes from time to time, especially clashes between Fulani herdsmen and its inhabitants.

7. Ebonyi

Ebonyi is the only south-eastern state among the top 9 poorest country.

8. Bauchi

In Hausa the word Bauchi meansthe land of freedom and tourism. However recent Boko Haram adventures in the area, though few, have driven tourists away from the area.

9. Kebbi

It is bordered by Sokoto State,Niger State,Dosso Regionin the Republic of Niger and the nation of Benin. The recently concluded Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport (SABIA), stands out as one of Nigeria’s most sophisticated airports and is expected to boost the state’s economy.

10. Zamfara

Recently the governor was blasted for the “alarming scope of economic dangers and its potential threat to the economic development of the state,” by the Zamfara Budget Working Group.

Niger is the state with the lowest poverty rate which is 33.8%. It was followed by Osun (37.9%) and Ondo (45.7%).

Bayelsa (47%) and Lagos (48.6%) have less than 50% poverty rate.

The average poverty rate in the Northwest geopolitical zone is 71.4%, which remained the highest in the said area.

It is followed by the Northeast region which has 69.1% and the North central region which has 60.7%.

Poverty was least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%).

Dont use natural resources to judge, example sokoto have natural resources like gold but it's not utilize as you can see its among the poor state. look at Zimbabwe where majority are christains they also have natural resources too but zim is the poorest in the world.

Indeed internet has done more harm than good to Nigerians. You guys should stop sitting at home and let government deceive you with rubbish garnered at the comfort of their office. south west is no way ahead of South east States. I've traveled to all the States in South of Nigeria and 10 in the north. Development/poverty isn't the amount in government's bank account but the people's.. All the States in the east including Ebonyi has very few mud houses. there were large numbers of modern houses even in their villages more than any other region. Remember that South east topped the list in education and standard of living.

I don't talk with foolish people. oil is not a natural resource. What has country done with it. Countries who are not Muslims, why do they invade other countries to steal their oil.

Give example where oil was taken from a country without paying for it, name the countries involved and when

Though I don't know the state that much but I didn't expect Ebonyi to be there.
Ebonyi is the most backward state in the south .

High illiteracy rate, polygamy and child marriage plus scratching the ground in the name of farming being the only occupation available in that state.
