RIVERS STATE HAS THE HIGHEST MISERY INDEX IN NIGERIA


Rivers state has the highest unemployment rate of 41.8% and a misery index of 79.87. The state’s economic activity is concentrated on oil and gas, which involvesautomated processes and requires low human capital. Taraba, which is dominated by agriculture, a labor-intensive sector, has the lowest misery index of 29.59 while Osun and Ogun both stood at 35.36 and 36.94 respectively.

The misery index is an economic indicator, created by Economist Arthur Okun measures the well being of the average citizen. It looks at the purchasing power of income, the ease of getting paid work, and the quality of available jobs. Unemployment + Underemployment + Inflation = Misery Index.

Typical of online miscreants.

Everyone should click on that link to read the article.

The article continues " On a zone by zone basis, poverty intensity is more prevalent in Northwest 45 per cent closely followed by Northeast with 44 per cent while Southwest and South East has the lowest, tying at 38 per cent."

Always read from the source so that you don't fall victim to propagandaist.

Here is a 2018 report from UNICEF which stated that the South West has the second highest number of stunted children after the North www.saharareporters.com/2018/02/27/south-west-has-second-highest-number-stunted-children-nigeria-unicef

Sadly, this clown is the governor of the governor of the 2nd largest oil income earning state in Nigeria
the guy is a mistake to be corrected 2019.

Why are you contradicting yourself ?

You are speaking from both mouths ; your first link states SE and SW maintain the same position while the second contradicts the former
Anyway, that should tell you that SW population is higher than SE,and besides,after all the op was specific about states and not region.

And point of correction the word " stunt " doesn't necessarily mean or translate to poverty/hunger but lack of nutrition.
