PeaceNexus:
There are laid down scientific ways of arriving at some of these data, if you get the primary data wrong all other data will be based on the wrong data thereby making a mess of every other secondary data generated from the primary one. We don't have any data right except the data that states the number of senators, house of rep members and Governors. Unemployment rate is far above what is reported. And I repeat, all data supplied by any arm/agency of government in this country is a mere conjecture

Ignore that guy. He has poor comprehension on wtf he reads or at least pretends to read.

Even in the statistics he speaks of NBS mentioned "States with a higher propensity for women to be housewives or stay home husbands or that havenegative attitudes to working tend to have lower unemployment rates, as they are not considered part of the labor force in the first place, and as such have no bearing on the rate of unemployment."
Therefore indicating housewives, stay at home husband or anyone with negative opinion about employment are intentionally omitted from their statistics.

According to the rest of the world, especially UN, Niggeria unemployment rate is increasing but according to their government it's only 35.2% unemployed. 35.2% yet majority of their citizens are hustling, begging, or even thugging is to stay afloat. Yet only 35.2% are unemployed. They are only decieving themselves

Iblad0994:


You should understand the difference between underemployment and Unemployment with reference to the definition by NBS and also universal definition. The charts I uploaded is based on the unemployment figures and NOT underemployment and it is for the 2018-Q3.

As I said you have a comprehension problem.

I suggest take a clear look at the two charts AGAIN.


NBS provided both the unemployment rate (1st image) and underemployment rate (2nd image)

The graph you posted is adding the rates between both for each state.

I suggest grasp wtf it is you looking at before typing.

even those collecting #10000 per month are also employed. apprentices who are learning job or trade are not included unexpectedly.

Calm down bro. The chart you uploaded is just showing the unemployment figure of selected states and it also validates my fact. You are confused with the terminologies in the written text below the chart.

Unemployment rate is 100*(Total unemployed/Labor Force Population). This take into consideration both population figure and percentage of people unemployed. This is the actual universal figure recognized.

Unemployed population is just the population of the number of unemployed people in a state. It is dependent on population figure and that is different from unemployment rate. You will see that Rivers, Lagos, Kano, and Kaduna has the highest population in Nigeria that is why they have the highest unemployed population.

According to the Image you uploaded:
In Q3 2018, Akwa Ibom state reported the highest unemployment rate (37.7%), followed by Rivers State
with (36.4%), Bayelsa state (32.6%), Abia (31.6%) and Borno state (31.4%).

The top 5 states with the highest unemployed population are Rivers (1,673,991), Akwa Ibom (1,357,754), Kano (1,257,130), Lagos
(1,088,352) and Kaduna with (940,480). Among these 5 states with the highest unemployed population,
Lagos state reported the lowest rate of 14.6% during the reference quarter.


Please point out where my thread info is wrong. Pull out the data also from NBS and confirm again please.

You are trying to be clever by half. What is the meaning of Labor force population?

We have actual population and we also have Labor force population. According to the NBS (You are not part of the labor force if you are not looking for work even if you don't work). So why the bleep will the housewife be included in the statistics??

For example, lets say Oyo got 4million population and 2 million are working or actively looking for work, then the labor force constitutes the 2million.

Housewives not working or not willing to work are just like babies also coz they contribute nothing to the labor force, hence that shows why they are excluded.

Some people will still believe this sham.

I repeat this dude has a Reading comprehension problem.

Read the quotation AGAIN and comprehend wtf it is you READ!!!!!!

How did you think you combated wtf the quotation said.

If you're looking for work you are included but if you are capable of working but aren't and have negative opinions on working, a stay at home husband or a housewives you "have no bearing on unemployment rate".

omenka:
Time for Another round of needless fight between folks who've got nothing useful to do with their time while critical issues affecting all of us as a people and a nation are shoved to the back burner.

The reason why the unemployment rates seem high will be totally lost on them- bad government from top to bottom. They'd rather dwell on needless pissing contest between their zones.

Shame on us!

my guy ,u don dey mature small small for brain. Be like bughari gaffes follow humble u..lol

This is the data I used for the Unemployment Rate figure which is calculated by:

Unemployment Rate = 100 x (Unemployed Population/ Labor Force Population).

Ya'll need to calm down and understand my thread and stop trying to be aggressive by mixing up fact.

cc: Ikeg1

Kudos SW..

The case definitions of 'employed and/or unemployed' in the NBS calculations weren't based on tax returns.

a4cube:
Nigeria is run on informal economy. 90% of nigerians dont pay tax cos their business activities are not recognised yet you cant classify them as unemployed. That woman selling crayfish at your local market is classified as unemployed but in actual sense of a formal economy she is self employed and must fill her tax at the end of the fiscal yr.

Tribal identities were NOT included in the research, so where did you get your WRONG statistics from?


#85% of the employed residents of Lagos are actually Igbos!

Germannig:
50% of the employed in Lagos are already Igbos. So troway this your fake statistics

It ain't about combination of unemployed and underemployed, it ain't about just population figures, it's about UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.

You indicated that if you are not working you are included in the Labor when NBS mentioned you aren't

""States with a higher propensity for women to be housewives or stay home husbands or that havenegative attitudes to working tend to have lower unemployment rates, as they are not considered part of the labor force in the first place, and as such have no bearing on the rate of unemployment.""

@the bolded, where did I mentioned this?

People who are not involved in any form of national data management don't have the slightest info on how we almost don't have any reliable data. I have had the opportunity of discussing this same issue with three of a Federal parastatal's directors in one of the ministries., they lamented how they were unable to get WHO funding simply because as a ministry they didn't have a single reliable and defendable data which was unfortunately the major prerequisite for such funding. At best, what we do is guess work. For Nigeria to get anything right, this foundation would have to completely destroyed because it was based on greed and tribalistic inclination to the detriment of reliability and transparency. Every data is doctored to attract undue political favours

In order words despite NBS already posted the unemployment rate for each state in their graph.
You created graph with whatever maths you deemed fit and tried to pass it off as NBS work

Typical!!! That's explains so much.

Yeah NBS already gave us the number we need (despite how infactual it may be) so we are all going to listen to them over a nobody like yourself created and tried to pass off as their report

Lol fake statistics
80% of Nigerians don't pay tax

ahaz:
but the last time we checked no south east state has been reported queing up for rice due to improvised labour force..pls don't give me the aba kerosine defiance that's just a political stunt by the governor.
The fact remains that business owners are not actually captured cos if you go to Onitsha more than 80 percent of the population are are traders..aba is the city with the largest concentration of smes in Nigeria.so tell me how will such a region be that unemployed according to your oluwole statistics..After all 90 percent of the businesses in america are smes does that reflect too as unemployment?
The statistics you posted here is actually talking of the labour force according to states so if you say the south west employ more civil servants that I agree but not in the area of self employment cos your governments knows an average Yoruba man is not business inclined so no offence Oga its only a stranger will argue over the Igbo's domination of SNES in Nigeria and such a region can not be described as a grossly unemployed region..civil service yes,..self poyment capital no.

Igbo and empty chestbeat

but you can que for kerosine

You are now trying to come up to terms with reality. The map you showed about NBS validates my thread, it's just that you are too aggressive which made you to misinterpret everything.

You showed me the map below right. From the map you can infer that:
Borno =31.4
Zamfara = 18.0
Benue = 20.1
Taraba = 19.0
Kaduna = 26.8
Adamawa = 20.8
Kogi = 19.7
Nassarawa = 27.4
e.t.c.

@Ikeg1 please tell me how this chart you uploaded is different from the chart on my thread. Your problem is that you are too aggressive and you can't even pinpoint states on the Nigeria map and check their unemployment rate figures.

I'm already aware of that. When I used to believe in Nigeria, I did papers continuously on the country since it was easier for me to research that country. I actually believed the statistics they were bringing until actually after joining this forum. I recalled one individual on this forum exposed how Niggeria fabricates their numbers on Cocoa exportation. Even though, the topic resulted to tribal fights, it actually took me my shock that a country will actually fabricate their numbers and literally post it even though it's easily discoverable by comparing figures of countries that ranked higher than them in production of the product. It was ridiculous to me. After that, in the last project I ever did on Nigeria, I actually contacted each number provided by NBS for each state to get an overview of how they arrived to their figure. I swear on everything I hold dear, not one fucking state, one single state could actually explain how they concluded to the numbers they gave. I swear on everything I hold dear. I doubt anything posted by them have been factual for years.

Heck on this same forum, I recall someone posted the last statistics conducted by British on Niggeria's population. Ironically, if my memory serves me right, the North had the least populace on that graph if my memory serves me right. After that, the first stats done by Nigerians, the North population sky rocketed by only God knows how. Unless the North shaged and birthed like rats, that should have been an impossible figure to reach. That's actually why I stopped listening to any statistics by the Niggerian state or federal government. I don't think they've ever posted anything factual since the British left.

Iblad0994:


You are saying jargons, you guys come online everyday to regurgitate rubbish about Igbos doing business alone while the other tribes are just useless without any businmess acumen right.

What metrics did you use to conclude that the SE has the most businesses in Nigeria even in the informal sector? Or is this the usual case of IPOB Bureau of Statistics?

Before you talk about Lagos as a SW factor, you can see that the other SW states also show lower unemployment rate which explains the uniformity in the statistics.

Last time, you guys said SE has low IGR because of the fact your citizens don't pay taxes, this time around your point is that the SE are majorly business owner that doesn't count which I already debunked.

Igbos control and dominate retail business in Nigeria

kettykin:


Igbos control and dominate retail business in Nigeria

Based on what statistics? Also is retail business the only business in Nigeria? If I get it right retail means selling goods in relatively small quantities to end users, do you mean the Igbos dominate selling by population? Meaning market women/men and other retailers around Nigeria are small compared to the Igbo retailers? I don't even understand you.

How do you come about the statement that the Igbos control retail business? Because they always travel from their region to other zones? what exactly made you utter this statement?

Keep decieving yourself that you SELF CREATED Graphs you tried to pass off as NBS work actually correspond with what NBS provided.

Hell even by your own report you provided inaccurate figure of Niggeria unemployment rate I'm guessing by your own calculation (21.2%) in comparison to what NBS actually reported (35.2%)


As far as we all know that graph you posted was made and created by YOU. I could careless about your self reported figures
