I also doubted that of Ekiti but it just occurred to me that the population of Kano triples that of Ekiti, infrastructure wise Kano is better and what this means is that an average person in Ekiti can afford a meal per day and live well without begging than a average person on the street in Kano.

I doubted Ekiti and Oyo before but your opinion just made me reason it out.


He may be correct

Why did you skip Rivers? Why dwell only on Kano? This report when looks critically reeks of ethnic bias.

Biafuro Republic

by the time we start posting Oyo, ekiti, ondo, ogun, osun brown roofs now your likes will start crying foul...
avoid me biko, hehehehehe..

This one just sat in his house and began listing out States and saying any damn thing that crosses his mind.
Imagine for instance, Ekiti rated far above Kano and Rivers States. With nothing to back it up except the highly intoxicating weed his smoked before dishing out this warped writing.
Tomorrow now, someone will smoke more effective weed and start quoting him as his reference for making another more useless and ethnic biased comparison.

life is far better in Ekiti than Kano or Rivers

dukeprince50:
u said average lives of people in Ekiti is better than Kano that's probably why Ekiti is above kano.

If that is what should be used as yardstick for this argument, then I ask, why is Ekiti above Rivers?
The lives of people in Ekiti are not better than that of Rivers so why is Ekiti above Rivers state?

I'm only concerned about this cos I'm from Rivers state

I don't if you knw that rewane is among current economy management team, he has access to data that you don't have, thank God he also from Niger delta and based in south West, before he came out with her findings he might have done comparative analysis of states and not just one or two big towns in entire state.

Skynet45:

In terms of poverty rate those states are far higher than ekiti and osun

Fallacy

Esseite:
Kwara, Osun and Ekiti above Kano..

How did he arrive at his figures?..

In Kano, the wealth is concentrated in few hands.

In Kwara, Osun and Ekiti, it is more evenly distributed.

for his mind, no state is above Lagos Kano Rivers

Skynet45:
Good and correct statistics



Southwest is the richest region in Nigeria,if not why are your people and the igbos running and praying to live here. You can't hide the fact the south west far outpaces other regions in terms of development. That's why over 80% of foreign investment comes here. We control the entertainment industry, commerce, banking and every industry you can think of except tomatoes and onions controlled by hausas and oil owned by south South. Forget it we ain't in anyone's league. In terms of poverty rate we have the lowest rate in Nigeria



Yoruba lagba

Odua republic is a here to stay

ondo, ogun and Lagos are oil producing state... sw don't have to compete with any, capital repartration from overseas by the SW intellectual is also an added advantage, on like the illiterate north, and the uneducated south south, and semi literate south east.

Lol, the sudden love for Kano from these Osu IPOB cretins is laughable, lmao. Isn't Kano an almajiris state again? Lol. I wonder why you're mentioning Kano and Rivers and not your erosion-ravaged states!? If you also want to cry more, go check the Statisense list of states that least depend on FG to survive. More tears for Osu IPOB miscreants.

Realtalk20:
..you see why I say Nigerian education has failed you all?

Capital importation and foreign investment aren't the same thing though to the lay man they might seem similar

Smh I won't argue with you again it's a waste of my time

I said Google it and see it yourself. It was posted here on nairaland South West has 87% of foreign direct investment (FDI) . The internet is your friend here. We are by far the richest region in Nigeria. Capital importation I'll explain to you means money or investment which was imported or came from overseas to the South West . It's the same as foreign investment. Hope you understand now

Good thing Bismarck Rewane is from the Niger Delta unlike Yemi Kale. If not, lol.

Self-centered, you don't care how he arrived with his report once Anambra is there you are OK, how can those States with huge debts be prosperous, when they can't pay ordinary salaries, serious there is something wrong with us in this country, we keep deceiving ourselves with lies and propaganda

It's not about huge allocations alone but how it's been effectively managed. Imagine Rivers state with those monthly huge allocations couldn't pay corpers allowances during Amaechi administration!
As little as OYES stipend in Osun state, it will always have positive effects on economic/poverty rating on the state. The scheme has been on since 2011 and still running till date. Not many rich state could boast of having something close to it.

Once is read it is Bismarck Rewane that churned out the data, I laughed out loud. Bismarck is an APC political hack. He churns out anything that suits his boss and paymasters in government. Isn't it same Bismarck that praises Buhari's economic models despite admission by government owned Bureau for Statistics that the economy is in shamble.

Elvinci101:



Southwest is the richest region in Nigeria?

If what you wrote is true then why is it that your most of your people are sleeping on their roof and renting out their apartments to Igbos?


And why are almost all Òmò Oluabi's always chasing after Igbo owned Container loaded goods?

Omo Igbo those pictures mean nothing. You can't just bring up some pictures and be making mouth here. It's duly noted that most igbos live and sell in 2x2 container shops and the rest sell gala on Berger road . Poverty has eaten your region that's why you are competing with north east for porverty capital of nigeria.

spymaster:
The Financial Derivatives Company Limited (FDC), Mr. Bismarck Rewane, has stated that only nine states in the country could be classified as fairly prosperous.

These states, according to him, are Kwara, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Ed, Lagos and Anambra

Osun that can't pay salaries fully and is owing pensions?
This Rewane must have received his own share of the bullionaire's dollars to include the home state of the JagaBandit.

In Osun state, its mostly about underemployment not unemployment like in most states.

Cut and nail nigerian statisticians.

Meanwhile when covid started, hunger wanted to kill all south west states, especially Lagos. Crime rate sky rocketed like a rocket.
Other states were okay, except Oduduwa republic. Abegi, leave matter for Matthias.

But, but we have more suicide news from east that time na. Abi make we start?

nero2face:
OP from ur post all SW states are prosperous while all other states from other zones miserable except Anambara...OP we know ur just being a real Afonja...stupid post

But the author Alfred Rewane is not an "afonja" but from Delta State, and he listed his state as one of the "miserables".

So he must know what he is saying.

So u want tell me say, Osun state is better than Kano, and Enugu state?

Wait oh.


Did Abia Abia Abia State performed so so so very bad that she never made any of the categories?



Or is her economy so so buoyant than that of Nigeria?



Just asking oh

Since I joined nairaland, this is the most stupid thing I have ever read.

Osu, post them, that is to show you that those places were towns as at the time your ancestors were living in forest reserves. Meanwhile, there are abundance of brown roofs in the erosion ravaged enclave
