Omoawoke2:
How did you dominate in education, trade and commerce

Last I checked, southwest is the education giant of Nigeria?
Or you think it is by jamb miracle centers? Even with your miracle centers, Yorubas still dominate the list every year. Stop claiming other people’s glory
How did you dominate trade and commerce when ogun state IGR alone is bigger than the entire Southeast region
Oyo is two times that if Anambra. Or where do you think IGR come from?
This chest beating must stop. If you think you are special, others are special too

The only glory I can give you is export and import and trade of spare parts

Oga, where did you check? What makes SW the educational giant? The SW has a much higher percentage of out of school kids. Please verify before disgracing yourself.
Also IGR is not a sign of individual income. Ogun state has high IGR and yet a very high poverty rate. Ondo state has a much lower IGR and one of the lowest poverty rates.

Omoawoke2:
Far ahead in which indices

Statistics of poor people per state doesn’t can easily be flawed.

What you can use to determine is IGR

And in every indices, southeast is the poorest in the south and second poorest in Nigeria

IGR tells you nothing about poverty.
Now let me teach you.
A gov can impose higher taxation on his people, this doesn't mean his people are richer. Also, a state may have more registered companies this still does not mean that it's people are richer. When you talk of poverty, we look at individuals and households and not how much the state derived from IGR.
Do you understand it now?

Omoawoke2:
What of the poor igbos in Lagos, ogun state and Ibadan?

Stop all this chest beating…
With all the noise, no Igbo is among the richest billionaires in Nigeria

Only a fool would boast of the number of billionaires from his tribe when most of his people are living below the poverty level.
You are right though, with 49% of the SE living in poverty, there is nothing to boast about.

SmartPolician:
We need proper census to know the situation of things in Nigeria.

The only data I take seriously in this country now are IGR, petroleum products consumption and crimes. Those figures are accurately recorded.

On the flip side, unemployment, GDP per state, and poverty figures can be doctored or calculated based off of estimates.

We cannot keep running a country on hypocrisy. It will take us nowhere.

You sit in your home and decide which data is accurate and which is not.

FreeStuffsNG:
It's the reality of how the sampling size used in the majority tribes like Hausa, Yoruba and Fulani that I find concerning.

The population of the South East is the least so the sampling in relation to SW and NW may not be fair. If you sample 10 people out of 20 and take same size of 10 people among 50 people, the probability is higher in the population that is lower but I know you can then use statistical tools to test and analyse the variations which I am aware is still based on statistical assumptions.

It is either the NW and SW group data are faulty or that of the SE is faulty because both groups are at the opposite poles with SE being the least populated zone while NW/SW are the most populated geopolitical zones. I will not even bother go to the apparent asymmetry in having the SE's data in this report with the reality in SE at a time Igboland is having long days of political sit at home days and massive emigration of SEterners to other zones further increasing the chances of reduced population of SE. Check my signature for free stuffs!

You have not even provided the sampling that was used but somehow, you have a problem with it.

The metrics used are mostly not reliable

Explain the metric used and why they are unreliable.

tartar9:
Last I checked,both NBA and other statistical agencies listed the South East as the poorest in Southern Nigeria.

You never checked. This figures have been out since last year.

*Which of these temptations is hard for you to resist?
*How are you able to overcome them?

I have been able to stop drinking and pride by disassociating myself from useless friends.
Matthew 5:30 says
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

Jesus uses two graphic metaphors—it is better for disciples to pluck out their eyes and cut off their hands—as a way to memorably express an important truth. It is better to deny yourself in this life for His sake than to miss living life in His kingdom and enjoying its incredible benefits.

You made this post to show us that you are a good person who does not drink and who is humble. And somehow you feel you have overcome pride.

Odunharry:
Once you confess your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior, then you are saved.

This is clearly your opinion and you are entitled to it. Now let's read what your Lord Jesus Christ taught.
John 3.5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Nvestor02:
Mid-west stand on their own, before Biafra invade them.

You told us you are fighting Hausa Fulani but na South South you dey invade.

Shey Hausa Fulani dey Benin?

It's so funny that the war end over 50 years ago, most of you were not born but all of you are pretending to be grieved.
Look the new generation should stop thinking like their fathers.
Note, it was a war between the federal government and the Biafran rebels. The mid west was under the federal government when Biafra invaded.
The mid west was not an independent country on its own as you claim.

Sunnyshinylight:
So shall they fear THE HOLIEST NAME of the LORD from the west remember this location, and HIS GLORY from the rising of the sun.

Another discussion is......


When the enemy from the west shall come in like a flood, THE SPIRIT of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTIEST IN CHRIST JESUS BY THE HOLIEST SPIRIT shall lift up A STANDARD against him western enemies.

After smoking you boys would just start typing.

TolkowskyCut:
99% of the companies you listed are either American or European family owned businesses. I challenge you to name just 5 family owned businesses that are in their third generation now

Actually Africans have much stronger family unity than Europeans.
Again, it's very hard to name many African business in it's 3rd generation remember, most of Africa was under colonial rule just 60 years ago so you don't have a strong case. But I can name you many businesses in their second generation.

MarketDispatch:
Why are you making references to places where 95 percent of the people are honest.
Restrict your analysis to Nigeria where even your brother, wife, sister, is ready to finish the business by stealing from the business

There is no county in the world where 95% of the people are honest. I think you need to travel. The formal president of US is facing multiple charges. The present one is suspected of corruption with his son. Oga stop living in a movie. Humans are basically the same.
What would you say about the Dantata's. Allen Oyema of Airpeace has is entire family in his business. Fela involved his kids in his music. I know at least 2 hospitals run by father and children in Nigeria. So my oga please do your research.

toprealman:
All major grocery outlets in US, UK and EU

Thanks. Also, look to the Indians and Asians in general. These duds are all about family business and they seem to own everything in US and UK

AllenSpencer:
Mention Nigerian businesses.

Why? What's your point? Also, if I did the research at the international level, why can't you do the research at the Nigerian level.
Let's do it this way, I would give you 2 and you research for others ok.
No laziness.
1. Dantata
2. Ibru

FreeStuffsNG:
smh. Did you see the Tobi Amusan picture? That's SPORTS world! It is iconic and normal abeg.

That is like ordinary female underwear that Tobi Amusan and other athletes wear to race, now compare them to Asisat Oshoala who looks here like a Football Sport Goddess.

You call going topless iconic? I actually agree with most of your write up but abeg let's not over do it. Going naked is not iconic.

DodadaKoKigbe:
These two foreign imported religions have to be eradicated from Nigeria. They are so arrogant and think EVERYONE'S life should revolve around them.

Oga your traditional religious can't compete. Religion is a free choice so stop talking about eradicating another man's beliefs

walefresh3:
Tell that ipob goons to compare that dilapidated kingdom to dis beautiful city of yorubaland
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZpKPC1bk00

Oga I am not into the tribal online warfare. Tribalism is only for bitter losers. You guys should give up this shit. I speak to both parties.

Abeign:
I read this from start to finish.
This is one of classic examples of why money and relatives don't mix. It may seem like a good idea in the beginning but along the line, you'll start to realise how handicapped you actually are when it comes to enforcing rules and standards

My oga below are a list of a few family owed businesses. I guess you don't yet know the formula but family and business can be very successful if you know.
Walmart
Berkshire Hathaway
Schwarz Group
Cargill
Reliance Industries
Schaeffler Group
Roche Holding
LG Corporation
LVMH
ArcelorMittal
Tyson Foods
Mars Incorporated
L’Oréal

I can keep going but I am sure you get it.

HugeElephant:
At this point I don't care where advice comes from. I just want to escape this sector of life where I feel entrapped.

I believe life can be better for me and I can make it better for others too (hopefully).
Since I don't have a rich person to mentor me, I am staying up all night to listen to and analyze all the respons I get on this thread

God bless Nairaland

I owe you an apology. My answer was quite arrogant.
Also let me commend you for you question. It maybe the single most important question that all Nigerians need to ask.
But then, I was not wrong. Would you ask a question about Newton's law of motion to your Yoruba teacher? No. You would rather ask your physics teacher.
I also commend you determination. You stay up reading and analyzing responses. But then, imagine spending the same energy on the right source of information.
Your question is not meant for everyone. Only those who have overcome poverty can show you the path.
I would love to reach out to you in a month from now to see how far you have gone on your journey to overcoming poverty. I wish you the best and I hope you never fall by the way or give up in your pursuit of wealth.
Please ignore all my initial responses and once again accept my apology.

IamAtikulate:
Exclude Lagos and all the capital cities in Nigeria, no other city or town in Nigeria is more developed than ONITSHA.

Does this look beautiful to you?

maasoap:
Like you, right?

yes my boy, I see clearly.

maasoap:
Stop ranting, we heard you already. You don't have nothing to share, so let those who have share theirs.

lol my boy, you should be open to other opinions even when you do not agree. At least learn one thing. Learn not to ask others to shut up on an open platform. You kids of today really have a long way to go.

If you don't care the source of the advice then all I can say is good luck to you.
Finding solution to escape poverty takes much more than reading poor people's comments. If you are serious about financial education you wouldn't be on nairaland.

maasoap:
Your contribution is useless and meaningless

Lol. See pain. Trust me, if you ever make money you would begin to see clearly.

maasoap:
Mumu. So, every contributor so far is poor?
And secondly, they can't share what they might have observed around them. Negativity should be your first name

Not every contributor is poor but everyone can tell that you are hopelessly poor. Secondly, don't share what you observe oga. Use it to improve your life first. If it's not working for you then why share it?

VinnyBaba:
Do you know that 75% of RICH people Today were poor 25, 30 years ago?😒.

E.g. the likes of Elumelu, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, Chris Oyakhilome,etc.

Stop Mocking Pple! 😕

Another poor motivational speaker. Now learn, I was not mocking. I was only pointing out that the blind can't lead the blind

99.99% of those advising on this thread are living in poverty. Poor people are very good at advising others.

JagabanBorgu:
Compare house rent in the USA to that in Nigeria, compare the various taxes u pay to that in Nigeria, compare medical bills, compare tuition fees for children too.
When u compare like that, you won't be screaming anyhow.
There are many many ways to demand improvement from the government not being hypôcrîtical

Oga are you just trying to be funny? Even with higher rents and tax live in US is much better. Someone earning minimum wage in the US would still be sending money to his family in 9ja. You guys should be careful with the nonsense you type.

MAKAPOLY:
Do they still make them like Soyinka anymore? No, I strongly doubt it. Look him, a moving train of unparalleled wisdom transiting knowledge on the rail of justice. A distinguished by all standard; sworn,proven and coveted eternally. Strands of grey hairs oozing longevity like pyrotechnics fireworks, who else crossed the mediterranean without a Moses rod just to ink his name on those high mountains in Sverige with gel pens and poetic overtones. 1986? Yes, you guessed right!! Let us all build for him a castle of gold surrounded with alexandrite, emerald, sapphire and ruby. On his crown? Let there be measures of the precious Kohinoor. He came to us from the rock city and now his watch is preseverd forever.

Ass licking. You seem to have mastered the act.

YouAreFinished:
I guess you're just hearing of this video here. If not you're know the anti-North/anti-Muslim onslaught began the moment some people barely complained that they found it offensive. This issue for don die out since.

Unless you are new to Nigeria, you would know that there are always 2 sides in every matter. You can hardly raise a topic without facing some opposition. So let's not get work up because someone said or did something that you don't like online.

utenwuson:
If Christians feel their own religion is tolerant and should be mocked, we have got no kwams with that

But mocking the Islamic religion is something we hold with grievances and on no condition should anyone, whoever you may be mock the religion....


It's has no connection with bad governance or societal emblem.....

Just stay away from a religion who doesn't even interfere with yours....


Anyone who is caught playing the video in any volatile Muslim environment should have himself or herself to blame... Peace

Go to Sweden and try this nonsense. You guys only make noise in places where you are allowed. Islam only thrives when human rights are restricted.
