This is lame. The same way dangote who thrived on govt favoritism while fronting for cronies and rogues in govt abi?

Innoson is going higher and higher. All The hate from yorubas in Nigeria and diaspora cannot stop him

Joker. Dangote's product is not based on Government patronage alone. A very very high percentage of individuals buy his products.

Was his product worth protecting? Yes and it paid off. Nigeria is now self reliant in cement production.

I pray that Innoson gets bigger. For now, it is still a car assemblage plant and not a car manufacturing plant, just like others scattered all over Nigeria eg PAN, Leyland ANNAMACO VON Tilda etc

akwabassey:
U people are just so funny.i am not from anambra but comparing anambra with osun in whatever indices is like comparing Germany with india. Pls u guys should stop making this baseless assertion. Osun to the best of my knowledge is a very poor state both its government and its people. Putting osun next to lagos on this list in the first place brought the whole report to null.

No be you get your hand and bandwidth to type rubbish you feel like typing nah?

UN reports says poverty is lower in Osun than Anambra. So be it.

Is it not the same crime infested and gully eroded Anambra?

Haters and aggrieved can jump inside the deepest part of the Lagoon. Better still, hug a. 50,000 KVA high tension wire.

belzabull:
Just like Innoson had to move to SW to make money right?

Being dumb comes naturally to you, no?

Innoson's market is majorly government patronage, especially under GEJ. No wonder he donated massively towards his campaign.

How many individuals have Innoson assembled cars?

Be rest assured, even Innoson knows the tea party is over for him with GEJ out of power. PAN is back to being the choice of FG.

So, we see the SW leads the SE in Child health as the SE has higher rate of Child and infant mortality than SW, even though SE has higher rate of Child immunization than SW.

Therefore, SW leads SE in Child health, which is. Criteria 1a of OPHDI.

Are you speaking aramaic?

chinchum:
cheap cost of living also decreases poverty rate in a relative comparison. A man earning 25,000 in osun is considerably richer than his counterpart earning the same in some states like anambra, meaning he can get more value for his money

God will bless you.

If someone in Anamabra decides to build a mansion he will only sleep in during the festive period in December and a messenger in Civil Service in Osun State decides to.build a bungalow for himself and his household, are both of them not house owners?

Or you will say that because one has a mansion, the other's bungalow is not a house?

The report simply shows that there is more even distribution of disposable income in Osun State than Anambra. In absolute figures, though there can be more richer people in Anambra than Osun, but in proportion to the entire population Osun people can afford basic amenities of life than Anambra people.

He was in Onitsha and he is now in Umuahia and come 4th of July, he will be in Aba.

Guess what, nothing will happen. We are used to your usual noise making, lame ultimatum and empty chest beating.

Tell Nnamidi Kanu that a great yorubaman came to his soil, dared him and NOTHING happened.

they lead in waec result, no thanks to miracle examination centres. Where are the majority of the best schools located?

Is it not an irony that a region which is witnessing brain drain and loss of manpower to other regions, is the one leading in WAEC results and MDG goals.

that is the 8th wonder of the world and is totally ridiculous.

Says a lot about the the statistical collation of the Nigerian officials, in relation to the international community.

Ladipo was demolished and nothing happened.

Next is Alaba. Guess what,nothing will happen too.

We own the land and the people leasing the land and we will do as we so wish with them.

Let them bring on their worse.

GodMode:
Lagos has always been the commercial center

If igbos didn't migrate there would be more Yorubas, foreigners and other tribes like there are now

The Chinese have bigger investments than the igbos so do lebanese, South Africans and a host of foreigners

dangote alone has more investment than igbos in Lagos.

Adenugas investments alone is a sea in comparison to a tea cup, in relation to igbos investment.

Oba otudeko and Okoyas' investments are immeasurable in comparison to igbo investments in lagos.

Those are known people, not to talk of the u silent unknown ones.

[b] GOAL 2: ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY
EDUCATION
Target 2A: Ensure that, by 2015, children
everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be
able to complete a full course of primary
schooling.
Indicator 2.1: Net enrolment in primary
education.
In 2014, The states with very high
attendance ratios included Anambra (94%)
, Delta (92.80), Imo (90.7), Lagos (92),
Ondo (92.4), Osun (91.6), Edo (91.0), Ekiti
(93.6) and FTC (94.1) while the least were
Bauchi (29.9), Sokoto (24.80), Yobe
(23.7), Zamfara (37.80).
At the national level, the net attendance
ratio was 61% in 2008 and it increased to
71% in 2012. In 2014, there was a
shortfall of 2.3% and the net attendance
for 2014 thus dropped to 68.7%. When
classified by sectors, net attendance in
the urban (84.3%) was much higher than
in the rural areas (62.2%). Across the
geopolitical zones, it was very
encouraging in the South East (90.5%),
South South (88.1%), South West (87%)
and North Central (80.2%). But in the
North West (50.5%) and particularly North
East (42.5%) net attendance was not
impressive.
Although 100% attendance is expected,
the result shows that Nigeria is on track [/b]

How has this disprove the MPI result of the research conducted by reputable institutions such as Oxford Uni and UNDP?

pazienza:
The criteria used by Oxford university( OPHI) in their study were said to be:

1. Health, which includesa) Nutrition,( b) Child mortality.

2. Education, which includes: (a) Years of schooling, (b) School attendance

3. Living standard which includes: (a) Electricity, (b) Sanitation,(c) water, (d) floor,(e) Cooking fuel, (f) Assets.

Now we are have a frame work to work with. I will back to pick holes in their conclusion, using these criteria.

We are eagerly awaiting your warped empirical Pazienza Poverty Index PPI, that is more authentic than that of Oxford Uni and UNDP.

Please just shut up your putrid month. The cowardice in your ancestral forbearers could be touched. It is a shame you do not accept the fact that forbearers are common butt lickers hence you think everybody is shriving jackass such as your peeps.

Old Dede, the deluded gull himself, when will you join your ancestors, for us to pour palm wine on your grave as libation.

Deal with it man, "rebellious attitude towards enslavement" is a lying line to describe people that were enslaving themselves.

skondo09:
i tink dis statistics shld hv been alongside wt d populatn of these states nt just comparing it wen populatn per states differs

the ratios will be a function of the population of each state.

In absolute figures, a state A might have richer people than state B, but in ratios it might be lesser, which makes state B better and more desirable than state A.

ApexTitan:
Your reason was completely anecdotal, i.e, it was formed from your viewpoints and personal experience. The study was a result of compilation and analysis of available and verifiable data, your counter is not. I am not required to defend the findings of this study, if Osun has a higher ranking than Anambra it is as a result of the methodology used. Since you call to question this findings the burden of proof lies on you to show how or why it is flawed empirically or logically.

Let's all remember that this not some beer palour discussion where anyone can make a claim and expect to be believed upfront.

God will bless you.

They lack the mental capacity and intellectual acumen to disprove the methodology and the resultant results with facts, figures and empirical evidences that are verifiable.

According to the report, Osun has lower poverty than Anambra. Any aggrieved person can head to ICC or issue the usual lame ultimatum. This i what i will believe, until i see a contrary report.

ifedubacorg:
Their presence in the United States was met with mixed feelings by American plantation owners because of their 'rebellious' attitudes to enslavement.

Another fallacy.

Is this not the only tribe in the whole of Africa that enslaves its own people and sell them off into slave trade. Aro slave trading comes to mind. It is an irony that a make-me-feel-good write up is describing the same tribe that enslaves it's own as having ''rebellious attitudes to enslavement''.

It should rather read "they have an endearing attitude to enslavement".

No wonder they sentenced themselves to Ijaw servitude.

Diz Yoruba guyns don't get it at all, OSUN Is not reacher Than ANAMBRA but have more people above poverty line, now what dis means is dat, d total net worth of OSUN may not eqaul half of ANAMBRA net worth, for instance, if 90% of OSUN indigenes can afford three square meals while 85% in ANAMBRA can afford 3sqaure meals, in OSUN the net worth of the individual's may be only 200k while in ANAMBRA it is 1m, now if u sum that up, u will c dat ANA BRA IS Approximately five times richer than OSUN, IGBO KWENU

The highlighted shows the reason why Osun State is above Anambra.

Nine Nigerian banks made this year’s top 1000 global banks even as some of the banks dropped from their former rankings due to the challenges of significant slump in oil prices and general decline in economic activities in the second half of 2014.
The list of top 1000 global banks was released, yesterday, by The Banker magazine in London. The banks that made the top 1000 global banks, which are the top 25 banks in Africa are Zenith, Ecobank, FirstBank, GTbank and Access Banks, Diamond Bank, UBA, Fidelity and FCMB.

None of the banks made the top five in Africa. GTB dropped from 415th to 449th just as Access Bank, Fidelity Bank and UBA all slipped from their positions in the previous year. Diamond Bank joined the list of top 25 banks in Africa while it also made top fast movers on the list alongside Union Bank and Sterling Bank. Sterling Bank was the only new entrant from Nigeria in the global list in 2014. Ecobank Nigeria’s parent company, Ecobank Transnational, based in Togo, also made a strong showing amongst fast movers, jumping 90 places to place 306th in the global ranking.

According to The Banker, Zenith Bank placed first among Nigerian top banks in terms of Tier 1 capital but 6th in Africa with a capital of $3.162 billion. It was followed by Eco Transnational which is second in Nigeria and 7th in Africa with a capital base of $3.030 billion. FirstBank ranked 3rd in Nigeria and 10th in Africa with a capital of $2.327 billion. Next in the ranking is GTbank which came 4th in Nigeria and 13th in Africa. The Banker report said Access Bank is 5th in Nigeria but 15th in Africa with a capital base of $1.398 billion.

Others are Diamond which is 6th in Nigeria and 17th in Africa, UBA ranked 7th in Nigeria and 17th in Africa while Fidelity ranked 8th in Nigeria and 21 in Africa. FCMB on its part was the 9th bank from Nigeria to make the top 25 banks in Africa.
Banks that slip down the rankings

The Bankers report said: “Nigeria’s banks endured a difficult close to 2014, as the significant slump in oil prices caused havoc with the country’s economy. “Zenith Bank has held its position as the sixth largest bank in Africa, and FirstBank of Nigeria has risen from 424th to 371st on the global list. However, Nigeria’s Guaranty Trust Bank has dropped from 415th to 449th, with its capital base decreasing from $1.95bn to $1.78bn. Access Bank, Fidelity Bank and United Bank for Africa have also slipped down the rankings, though Diamond Bank joins the African top 25 at 579th in the global rankings.

South Africa
“The difficulties of the South African economy are reflected in its banks’ performances in the 2015 Top 1000 ranking, but elsewhere there is good news for Togo’s Ecobank and FirstBank of Nigeria. “For South Africa’s banking sector, the largest in Africa, 2014 passed in a similar vein to 2013 – both years were dominated by the weak performance of the national economy and the ensuing volatility of the rand. “In 2013, the rand lost 13 per cent of its value against the dollar, and though 2014 did not see another rapid depreciation, rand volatility remained high. This hampered the ability of South Africa’s banks to improve their capital adequacy. Four out of its top five lenders have fallen in the Top 1000 World Banks 2015 ranking, with a sixth, African Bank, dropping out of the table entirely.

“Standard Bank remains the continent’s largest bank, though it has dropped from 116th to 123rd in the overall ranking and its Tier 1 capital has fallen slightly from $10.56bn to $10.18bn. FirstRand has held its regional ranking position and increased its capital slightly, but Nedbank Group has dropped from 195th position to 216th and has seen its capital base drop to $4.76bn, from $5.11bn. Barclays Africa Group, previously known as Absa Group, would have come third in the African rankings with a Tier 1 capital base of $6.09bn, but is excluded from the main ranking as it is a subsidiary of the UK’s Barclays.

Ecobank improves significantly “Elsewhere, Togo-based pan-African lender, Ecobank, has improved significantly on its 2013 performance, climbing 90 places to 306th and increasing its capital adequacy by

“The world’s biggest banks continue to lose ground to Chinese rivals, according to The Banker’s latest ranking of Top 1000 banks. “This year HSBC – which has restructured significantly and increased its focus on Asia – slipped from fifth place to ninth. Citigroup – which has also curbed its overseas presence – fell from sixth to seventh place. Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) fell to 18th place after the UK government bailout thwarted its international ambitions. Before the financial crisis in 2008, HSBC topped the list, Citi placed second and RBS third, measured by capital strength.

Chinese banks powering ahead in ranking
“Meanwhile, Chinese banks are powering ahead in the ranking. China now has three banks in the top five places, with Bank of China moving from seventh place to fourth, and China Construction Bank staying in second place. Agricultural Bank of China moved up from ninth place to sixth.”
The top four Chinese banks are also the world’s most profitable. Combined profits from all Chinese banks in the ranking are almost double those of US rivals and 10 times bigger than those of UK banks. In 2008, both UK and US banks were more profitable than their Chinese counterparts.
“However, Chinese banks are not taking as much global market share as their predecessors. ICBC, which tops the ranking for the third year in a row, is aiming to have 10 per cent of its assets outside China in five years’ time. But this is small in comparison with the global banks in their heyday.

Brian Caplen, editor of The Banker, said: “At one time the ambition of the largest banks was to have operations in all parts of the world and across all business sectors. Now they are focussing on a few areas in a bid to restore profitability. We may have seen the end of the global bank.”
While global banks are cutting back on employees – Citigroup has reduced staff by 12 per cent since 2011 and HSBC by nearly 8 per cent with further losses to come – China’s ICBC and in contrast China Construction Bank have each increased staff by 13% over the same period. China’s big four banks now employ 1.6 million – 1.5 times more than the number employed by the big four US banks.
In most areas of the world, banks increased their profits. Suffering heavy losses in 2012 and 2013, eurozone banks have increased their profits by 123 per cent from a low base. African banks increased profits by 18%, Latin American banks by 17 per cent and Asian banks by 7.5 per cent.

Tamuno Jacob Igbomie, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who served as the Principal Security Officer (PSO) to Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of Nigeria’s former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has been killed by yet to be identified persons in what appears to be an assassination.

Igbomie had served as a security aide to Mrs. Jonathan since her husband was Deputy President.

Police sources in Abuja said the deceased, who had also served as Aide-De-Camp to Mrs. Jonathan, was found dead soaked in blood inside his vehicle last Friday night along the Airport Road, Abuja.

The police in Abuja said it has opened investigations into the killing.

Sources said the engine of the sedan Igbomie was driving was still running when he was found. Nothing was removed from the vehicle as his phones, wallet and other personal effects were in the vehicle. It wasn’t clear whether the deceased was the only passenger in the vehicle when the shooting occurred.

Police sources said the incident occurred late on Friday night.

Igbomie was redeployed to the FCT Police Command after Mrs. Jonathan ceased to be first lady of Nigeria on May 29, 2015.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Typo?

You are mad!

More like Okrika education grammar.

Your "poors".

Now, fuuktard, let me humiliate your dumb arsse more.

Tell me why you came to conclude so CONFIDENTLY that I am a Northerner.

You are that dumb?

Ko ni da fun gbogbo abule e!

GBOAAA!

Fuuktard, why are you shooting me!

Why are you shooting me!

Why did you bring out your Bazooka to a debate?

You want to kill me ni?

Why did you bring a weapon to a verbal argument?

Product of a failed education system!

So who is stewpid now?

Ode, that was a typo.

Face the message. How will you re-confugure the brains of your terrorist and blood sucking demons

Duru1:
You are indeed correct. I remembered that Oyo-ile capital of the village empire known as Oyo was 30 miles north of Ilorin. Even the Duara Dullard could be Yoruba too. However, Otta dingbat is certainly a Yoruba.

Old Soldier, what is the correlation of your tales by moonlight with the story at hand?
Where is the capital of y1bos that could not even evolve into statehood? I am sure it would have been under one avocado tree. At least we had several capitals.

vanunu:
Foool, saraki is a fulani man whose grand father migrated from mali.

Dullardo, the yoruba culture and language must be very alluring and they were so eager to become naturalised yorubas that they changed their surnanmes to Saraki and started bearing Olusola, Gbemisola, Bukola etc.

The same way your greatest man Zik, had to name his first son Bamidele. He should have even changed his surname too, having find yoruba culture too irresistible.

No be only mali you go see, what of the kingdom of shongai? Sarakis are yorubas and get over the pain and heartache the realization of that is giving you.

Sagamite:
You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Did they put a gun to the heads of people in the North not to go to school?

Did they put a gun to their heads to be poor?

So, fuuktard, how is it collective? You still have not explained.

Dumbo, how was the south able to achieve it, that their people are going to school and yours are not going?

Your elites subjugated your poors and now all of you are paying the price of your stupidity.

menabadoo:
so saraki bukola is now Yoruba?

Get ur head right

Is he y1bo or ijaw?

brize:
senate pres gini?? Hmmm because of bukola abi?? Ok even Amaechi is yoruba because Rotimi na..... Na only deputy speaker una get o, cos VP is just a mere commissioner

i wisssssss a y1boman can even be a commssioner.

I never knew Bukola or Saraki or Olusola or Gbemisola are northern names, until this nyamiri said so. Olodo upon 100.

Sagamite:
You are a cretinous fuuktard!

So how is Northern society collectively promoting poverty?

In your moronic mind, a few people is representative of majority?

If that is the case, are the pastors and other church members not collectively robbing the poor?

Fuuktard!

Guinness Book of Records Dumbo,

How are the pastors robbing the poor? Did they put gun on the heads of the poor to donate? Naaaaaa

Your society failed to promote education and now it has boomeranged in your face. No thanks to your selfish elite class.

AnambraDota:


Even CIA director is Yoloba

The same way FBI Director is a flat.head, nyamiri, king kong chest beating, akpu chested yiboooooooooooooo from the land of south beasts.

Sagamite:
You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Is that an answer to my question? FUUKTARD!

I asked you a question:

Fuuktard, so it is not a collective decision because Southern Nigeria collectively failed to produce a society that will be able to use their education to reason, making it easy for their people to identify fraudulent criminals in frocks and stop being gullible, who do not give their hard earnings to criminals in private jets, hoping for a better life by doing so?

Everlasting Dumbo, shows how dumb and daft you are. Whoever gives his money to a pastor is taking a personal decision.

A society promoting poverty and mystery, for the elites to keep perpetrating themselves on the higher rung of societal leader at the expense of the hapless poor, is not only unfair and criminal, it is also devilish.

No wonder your Imams turned them into terrorists to make all your lives miserable the more.
