The survey was conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics in collaboration the World Bank. It seems the world bank did participate in this poverty stats collection. This should comfort people who disbelieved the latest stats. The fact is the poverty stat just upset certain people because it didn't align with their expectations. The methodology itself seems like it improved overall. 2 Likes |

So the World Bank also conspired with NBS to lie against the Igbos. They need to submit a petition to UN, Trump, CNN, ICC, WHO to rectify this injustice coz it’s evident the World Bank are jealous of Igbos and marginalizing them. Igbos are poverty capital of the south! 7 Likes |

Blue3k: I read the bla bla bla explanation which showed their incompetence over the years since modern data modeling systems became available globally. Oya let them mention the name of the new baseline for data collection and implementation and you’ll see it’s been available for at least 10 - 15 years. We make yearly budgets to finance the activities of some incompetent and corrupt fools who are working in NBS for no reason other than nepotism. I visited their office at CBD once and was given a tour and all I could do was SMH at the slow and old systems and lack of adequately qualified personnel 1 Like |

Lol when NBS said Nigeria was in a recession they all hailed it, when they said we have left recession they kicked against it. The same crowd have tribalised this report because it breaks their many falsehood and exposes the ingrained incompetence in the leaders they pretend are superior to others. Was I supprised by the survey report, yes but that doesn't mean I reject it because it defeated the lies and propaganda of some hateful people. even ordinary Kogi state had lower poverty level than 5 states of the SE, yet a certain hateful group called ipob prefer attacking Kogi Governor than holding their leaders to account. When we begin to understand that our primary concern should be how our states are being governed and holding our elected leaders to account instead of thinking we know what is better for others then we have solved half of our problem. 7 Likes |

Any sort of poverty statistics in Nigeria is going to be inaccurate, because Nigeria lacks a National Identification System (National Identification Card, National Insurance Number, Social Security etc). It (Nigeria) has no way of identifying how many people are in the country and their current economic situation, i.e. whether they're in work, claiming benefits (which are nonexistent in Nigeria), taxation payments, household wealth etc... In short, Nigeria's statistics on poverty are highly speculative; they're simply based on surveys, with a miniscule sample size. How can you extrapolate from 600 respondents in a state like Lagos that has 20 million people? Or in a place like Ogun State, which has over 4 million people in it? It's too small, ideally, you'd want to measure 20% of the populace, given the limitations, but surveying 40 million people is unreasonable. In short, until Nigeria fully commits to its National Identification Card, you can forget about getting an accurate statistics on poverty in Nigeria. It's all speculation. Extrapolating from less than a fraction of the population is pointless. 1 Like |

Stalwert: Measuring the size of the economy and collating statistical data on poverty, are two entirely different things. It's easy to keep track on what Nigeria is earning, every quarter. But it's virtually impossible to determine how rich a populace is, if you are unable to keep track of the people within the country itself. If you can't determine how many people in Ogun State have a job, because you don't really know how many people are actually in Ogun State. Then how can you know how many of them are poor? |

Stalwert: I understand the methodology, it's based on extrapolations, and of course, you don't need to meet everyone. In a country of 200 million people, that would be a gargantuan task. But you do need a significant sample size, if you want fairly accurate results. The problem with a country like Nigeria, is that it doesn't have any way of keeping track of its population (for obvious reasons). So it can't determine the mean income of households in any given area without asking them (with surveys). In advanced countries, they can simply acquire such data, without having to ask you, and because they can do that, they're sample size covers, almost the entire population - excluding economically inactive peoples. 1 Like |

rdokoye: Then why are the southerners always tagging the North as the poverty capital all this while? Then that means Borno might actually be richer than Imo state because the statistics that put Borno state below in NBS could be inaccurate since we need to sample 20% of the population like you said on your former post. Infact going forward, everyone should not believe Nigeria is the poverty capital from the likes of agencies likes of World Bank coz they did not sample like 36 million of Nigeria population before reaching their conclusion. Also, Buhari did not actually plunge the nation into poverty and he can also argue NBS need to sample several million of people in Nigeria before publishing the poverty statistics. We might as well stop believing all data and start giving statistical data based on our wishful thinking! 7 Likes 1 Share |

totit: Employment rates in Nigeria is calculated using the Labor Force Population, which is derived from Nigeria's flawed population figures. It's simply speculation. Unlike in the UK, where everyone has a National Insurance Number, which the government can use to determine whether or not you're working. It's flawed. |

YorubaHero12: Borno wasn't even calculated, in the statistics. It says it quite clearly, if you'd bothered to read it. But that's beside the point. In the case of the South, where you actually have a working class, middle class and the rich. A larger sample size would obviously be more significant. A state like Borno, that pretty much only has poor and a small elite class - margin for error is going to be much smaller - but again, that's conjecture, and for the most part, based on eye service. The poverty is visible and glaring. It's not a mystery, you can actually SEE who is living better. I don't know why you're trying to mystify things. |

totit: If lying to yourself makes you feel better, then fine. SW has a serious infrastructure deficit, with most of its populace living in slum-like conditions. That should be your primary concern. Not inaccurate statistics, less you become complacent. Or maybe, you're happy with the current predicament of your land? |

rdokoye: I quoted Borno not based on the report but just using it as part of my analogy to expose you for choosing the data not to believe simply because it’s against your people. How do you come about the statement that Borno has only poor people and few elites? Did you lived there to sample 20% of the population or you’re just dishing out statistics for the fun of it? You can’t choose when to believe, either you believe NBS completely or you don’t believe them at all. Question: NBS over the years have always said North is poorer than south, do you believe them? If you believe them above, do you think they sampled 20% of the people of the North before reaching their conclusion? 6 Likes |
