In order of the states with the poorest people:

- Ebonyi = 79% poverty status

- Enugu = 57% poverty status

- Abia = 30% poverty status

- Imo = 28% poverty status

- Ekiti = 28% poverty status


From the map, states marked in yellow are states with least poverty in the southern Nigeria, while the states marked in brown are states with highest rate of poverty.

Borno was not taken into the stats. Lagos is number 1 on the list.

Any Person who believes this needs a brain surgery so Imo state that is the power house of Education in Nigeria , that is has the tourism business after lagos and Abuja, that has oil deposits and a Booming Aviation Business is now poorer that Osun and Oyo that are living off stomach infrastructure funds , ritual forest proceeds and Marijuana Plantation income .

Which tourism? Please don't mistake booming prostitution market and cheap hotels to tourism. Any tourist site in Imo state? No. Tourists only know of Cross River that has a lot of tourist attractions.

What are you insinuating? Jesus, you're so ignorant.

LAGOS been the least poverty ridden state is because there are no sizable igbo population there right?

The calculation was done with the whole of Imo state not only Owerri. The rural parts of Imo state is infested with poverty. Imo has the worst rural areas in south east. That is the reason why the poverty index of Imo is so high.

I believe most literate ibos are not on nairaland or they are keeping quiet. If the Igbos posting nonsense here represent an average igbo mentality, then biafra is dead on arrival.
Re: See The 5 States With The Poorest People In Southern Nigeria- NBS by princdebola201(m): 4:08pm On May 06, 2020
South east region the is the poverty capital of southern Nigeria you igbos should deal with it

Interesting, so why can't y'll stay in that Oguta that has better living conditions than Lagos? Do you love living in that overcrowded Lagos so much? Who in his right senses would leave a very serene a d highly developed place like Oguta and move to a dirty and chaotic place like Lagos? Isn't that topnotch foolishness?

The lopsided , and hopeless Federal structure is why i have to come to lagos to do my business , as soon as Nigeria is restructured i am leaving lagos and selling off my Landed property. The useless federal structure being run in Nigeria made sure every thing was located in Lagos. The Banks , the consular houses, the Oil company headquarters , the Banking quarters etc , Lagos is living in past glory , no big deal about lagos
