pazienza:
This is an old report, with Data captured between 2008-2013. It wasn't done by UN, but by Oxford university who relied on local sources. It was published on a UN journal.
This stat had been demolished many times by formidable Igbo groups here: www.nairaland.com/3108722/2016-united-nations-human-development/2
Above was Ariani and Onenaira2( the Ekumeku war general himself) debunking this stat.
It's shameful that years later, Yorubas would attempt to repost these stats again, especially when we have a more recent MDGS stats in 2015 that placed SW last in Southern Nigeria.
Here is a more recent data, collated in 2014.: https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-
south-west-south-south-lead-attainment.
That these Yorubas are shamelessly posting a data collated between 2004-2013, as if it's a recent data, even when they had been told this many times before, says everything about these people.
But we will always be here to put sand in there Garri . Please provide the said link and let's check it out. Nairaland poverty index/rate organization.

Abeg I weak for una make una go see the doc  10 Poorest States In Nigeria
Author: According to the National Bureau of Statistics, these 10 states are the poorest in Nigeria with over 70% poverty rate. A survey carried out on the bureau’s website, disclosed that Sokoto remains the poorest state in Nigeria with an 81.2% poverty rate. 1. Sokoto Sokoto has unfriendly climate conditions with temperature going as high as 45C on a normal day. Most parts of the state are rural areas and over eighty percent (80%) of the inhabitants of Sokoto practice one form of agriculture or another. 2. Katsina Katsina is a state in North central Nigeria and has the highest poverty prevalence among all states in the region. 3. Adamawa Formed in 1991 from the extinct Gongola state, Adamawa has of late been terrorized by the Boko Haram terrorists, disrupting its economic development and growth. 4. Gombe Gombe is another North eastern state which suffers sporadic attacks from terrorists. 5. Jigawa Jigawa state is situated in the north-western part of the country. It is mostly populated by the Hausa/Fulani, who are spread throughout the state. It has a 74.1 percent poverty rate. 6. Plateau Plateau state is the twelfth largest state of Nigeria haunted by some terrorist attacks and tribal clashes from time to time, especially clashes between Fulani herdsmen and its inhabitants. 7. Ebonyi Ebonyi is the only south-eastern state among the top 9 poorest country. 8. Bauchi In Hausa the word Bauchi meansthe land of freedom and tourism. However recent Boko Haram adventures in the area, though few, have driven tourists away from the area. 9. Kebbi It is bordered by Sokoto State,Niger State,Dosso Regionin the Republic of Niger and the nation of Benin. The recently concluded Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport (SABIA), stands out as one of Nigeria's most sophisticated airports and is expected to boost the state’s economy. 10. Zamfara Recently the governor was blasted for the “alarming scope of economic dangers and its potential threat to the economic development of the state,” by the Zamfara Budget Working Group. Niger is the state with the lowest poverty rate which is 33.8%. It was followed by Osun (37.9%) and Ondo (45.7%). Bayelsa (47%) and Lagos (48.6%) have less than 50% poverty rate. The average poverty rate in the Northwest geopolitical zone is 71.4%, which remained the highest in the said area. It is followed by the Northeast region which has 69.1% and the North central region which has 60.7%. Poverty was least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%). Read more:

This report was Published in June 2015, and is based on data collected on years between 2004 and 2014.
According to the MPI Report, as at 2010, 46% of Nigerians lived below the national poverty line (Only 28% in Urban areas, and near 70% in The rural). Although a Report by the World bank, released in 2014, showed that only 33% of Nigerians could be considered Poor.

If truly the SW and SS think biafra can't stand, why don't they let biafra. Or are they waiting for GOD to send Moses again to say let my people go.
Why are Nigerans afraid to let Biafra go.
They say Biafra should have beg the SW and SS to join them.
Join them! So that when biafra gains victory they would come and claim relationship.
The SS and SW are currently complaining about Nigerias current state, complaining about the north.
If the yorubas get mind make them comot from Nigeria.
At least Biafra no win, but children know say e day exist.
If SW get min make them wage one war, make we see. All the yorubas go run day shout help, because them no go even near FCT.
Instead of fear fear yorubas to talk too much, they should come and beg Biafra.
Biafra must be free oneday
GREAT BIAFRA
GOD BE WITH BIAFRA. Must yoruba join your brafraud fight. For crying out loud why can't you fight for your freedom without mentioning or dragging the great yoruba into it? Can't you fight alone, and if you are so brave and yoruba are fearful as you all want us to believe why can't you crush both Yorubas and housa and gain your freedom. You people are just good at ranting and claiming bravery with nothing to show for it. Well,let me tell you, since you can't stop dragging yoruba into your freedom fight and they seem to be holding you to ransom. Then, my friend that freedom will never, isn't yours Nonsense.

Egbon, forgot about this defence, yorubaland has been 'owned' by a combination of Hausa and igbo businesses. Dangote may buy up the whole coastline soon. The laziest sets of people in the world comes from yorubaland. Look under every bridge or every motor park and see hundreds of able bodied men scavenging for change money to feed multiple families and girlfriends. The laziness of the yorubas is legendary.
On comparison for the wealthier region. No need to glorify your stupidity. Just cross river niger and you are in a different world. You don't see beggars and miscreants roaming the streets like you see in the south west. No street urchins constituting a nuisance or touts hoping to exploit the masses because he is an alaye or omonile.
Agbero, omonile and alaye are all yoruba words. Who's this one? You people hide under yoruba to exhibit you low self esteem. • Do you realize that the same yoruba tribe you call lazy is the only region with the least poverty rate. • Do you realise that the dominate the ICT industry? • The only region, that contribute more to the fed purse after SS? • The most industrialised region? • The region with the highest IGR in the whole of nigeria? You better keep quiet I have my facts. |

You think say I be like una wry dey too lazy to explore other states? O boy! I be igbo boy wey be Yoruba boy, No state for southwasste wey I never waka! Bro, apart from Lagos and ogun state(also because of business activities from Lagos), poverty is in Yoruba land. Una no get ANYTHING. Even Ekiti government house is like an average wealthy igbo man house in NNEWI. The other day a friend of man invited me to his wedding to an igbo girl in Orlu, I watched as the his kinsman he brought in were looking around like they are lost. I don't blame them, Orlu village is better than all their local government put together.
Abeg park well. You guys don't have shiite. Stop ranting like an illiterate already. You keep shouting "Lazy" without realizing that same region/tribe you were referring to being lazy and bla bla is the only region in nigeria with the least poverty. Just STF if you have nothing to back your rant. You don't just pull off stats without facts. You are just a troll who dwell on hate you were fed by your lazy men with ankara wrapper, under the tree in the village,alaigbo. Wetin you get for lag sef?

Dude, our industrious nature is why many of you can still eat your slimy food today. Erosion is a natural disaster, just like hurricane in the USA is. Yet, it's the world power we have today.

Let us do the fishing, you can continue to sit and wait for the bones. Lazy lots. You would do well by pointing out exactly where you dominate and how Yorubas are lazy according to you aba stats. While at it do remind me which of the two region (back by facts) is the least poverty region. But if you dare fail to do so or back these aba stats of yours with facts?

zemaik:
THE IGBOS OF AFRICA, THEIR WARS, THEIR WOES, THEIR TRIUMPHS.
"I have not come to praise Caesar but to bury him" ~~Mark Anthony In Julius Ceaser.
I am neither Mark Anthony nor a Roman citizen. I am a proud Son of the Igbo race. So, unlike Mark Anthony, I am here to praise the sheer Resilience, Resourcefulness, Ingenuity and the Never-Say-Die spirit of the Igbo man.
That the Igbos are the most resilient, the most resourceful and most ingenious black people on the surface of the earth is a fact which even Lucifer himself would not dare dispute. Records in public spaces support this assertion.
The Igbo man is one person who could be killed and buried and right there in the grave, he would either be looking for a way to play a fast one on Mr. Death and come back to life or he would be looking for business opportunities right there in the grave. Whatever happens, one thing is certain: he would never just resign himself to death and remain lifeless in the grave.
Such is the Indomitability of the Igbos.
And sadly, this uncommon Resilience, Resourcefulness and sheer Ingenuity have drawn the ire of their Nigerian neighbours and made them object of hate-induced envy, murder, state-inflicted genocide and economic and financial terrorism and litany of years of institutionalized marginalization spanning decades. But what seems to defy logic here is that the more the Igbos are hated and all manner of demonic policies invented to keep them perpetually down, the more they keep making mockery of the usual line "The Sky Is Your Limit", for with the Igbos, it would seem, the sky is nothing but the starting point rather than the limit.
There is one other fact about the Igbos; They don't do well in captivity. And it is for this reason that they would always employ all manner of resistance against tyranny and oppression. Suicidal resistance if need be but trust me, they would never live in servitude. No king no matter how powerful is above being questioned in Igbo land. Even their gods are known to have been "dis-goded" and stripped of their god status whenever they appeared to be getting too demanding. "Arusi wakaria anya, egosi ya osisi ejiri pia ya" is a favourite saying among the Igbos.
Such is how far the Igbos are willing to go to ensure that not even their own gods enslave them.
In Nigeria, the Igbos have been subjected to all manner of death (be it physical, emotional, financial and economic) on number-less occasion but like the mythical bird known as the Phoenix, they always rise from the dead and become even better than they were before their hate-induced death in the hand of the Nigerian state.
As far back as 1945 in the North central Nigerian city of Jos and 1953 in the city of Kano, long before independence, the Igbos were subjected to two major pogroms by their Northern neighbours. Hundreds of thousands of them were slaughtered. Millions more were displaced. Yet, they refused to remain dead.Not even the ethnic cleansing they suffered after the 1966 coup was able to keep them down. A coup was carried out by soldiers from Igbo, Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba, Tiv and Esan ethnic groups but it was tagged an Igbo coup even when the same coup was foiled by two brave Igbo sons in Lagos and Kano. Characteristically, the blood of hundreds of thousands of Igbo soldiers and civilians was again used to appease the vampirism god of the Nigerian state.But like Klaus Mikaelson, the Igbos yet conquered mortality and survived the ethnic cleansing.
Even when the combined firepower of world powers such as Britain and Russian aided by Nigeria and Egypt were bombing them during the Biafran war from all corners while outgunned, outnumbered and blockaded from both land, sea and air, they not only resisted for a whole 30 months, they equally did the unimaginable within those period and under the harshest of conditions.Here, their ingenuity came to the fore as they were able to refine their oil from a variety of non fossil fuel, manufacture surface to air missile which they also adopted to surface to surface missiles and converted passenger planes to fighter jets and weaponized them. They would go on to construct the Uli Airstrip and repair it each time it was bombed by the enemy forces. And with nothing other than the sheer patriotism of their men and women and the desire to defend their right to life, they were able to hold off the aforementioned 4 countries even under constant bombardments from both land, air and sea and full blockade from all angle for a whole 30 months. They broke those technological barriers and achieved those near impossible feats as far back as almost 5 decades ago under the harshest condition known to man.Today, almost 50 years after, the Nigerian state is still romancing the idea of producing pencil by the year 2018.
After the Biafran war, all manner of economic, financial and administrative policies were invented to keep the Igbos perpetually on the ground:
First, their properties were seized and shared as spoils of war with the tag, "Abandoned properties". Then came the state-sponsored financial terrorism of seizing all their monies in the bank to ensure that those who survived the genocide during the war would die of penury. Regardless of how much millions and billions you had in the bank before the war, as long as you are Igbo, you'd be given just £20. So, when the rest of the country were getting interest-free loan to buy up national assets, the Nigerian state made sure the Igbos wouldn't have enough to even put food on their table and this is a people who are coming straight from a 30 month civil war with nothing but their battered and traumatized lives. Even their jobs were taken from them.So basically, the Nigerian state robbed the Igbos of their lives, their monies, their jobs and their properties. And left them with nothing. And what was their offence? They sought to save themselves from annihilation by declaring "Biafra" when it was beyond argument that the Gowon-led Lagos based govt was neither ready nor willing to protect them from hate-induced killing which started as far back as 1945 in Jos, fifteen years before we even gained independence and 20years before the first coup which mischief makers have tried to use to justify the senseless killings.
Today, decades after the war, the Nigerian state is still carrying out an open war against the Igbos with every instrumentality of the state. Even when members of two terror groups from other parts of the country are being released from detention and even protected with special army task force, Igbo sons and daughters who are neither armed nor violent are being killed and maimed and bathed with acid right inside a church by Nigerian soldiers just for daring to remember their fallen heros who gave their lives during the Biafran war. The demonic path that led to the war is the same path the Nigerian state is still treading today.
But remember, I said I was here to praise the Igbos. So, let's not dwell on the criminality of the Nigerian state.
Perhaps, one thing that appears to have defied explanation is how these same Igbos who have been subjected to all these demonic treatment have still managed to remain top in all spheres of national life. Quite frankly, I do not have a satisfactory answer to this. But certainly, the answer is in you as an Igbo man/woman. Despite not having had access to political powers for 50 years, their region remains far better developed than that of those who have ruled the country all through those period. And despite being dispossessed of their lives, their monies, their jobs and their properties, they are today the biggest owners of landed properties in the country, they are among the wealthiest with chains of businesses scattered all over the country and beyond. In sports, they hold the No1 position. Even in education, their children always come first. WAEC, NECO and JAMB results confirm this.
Now, ask yourself, how did the Igbos overcome the agonies of the Biafran war, the state-sponsored killings, institutionalized marginalization and other devilish policies of the Nigerian state designed to keep them permanently down, to become the very nucleus as well as the mitochondrion of the Cell called Nigeria which they are today??Surely, you can figure this out, can't you?When a man is in accord with his Chi, even the curses from his enemies turn to Blessings for him.
Being born an Igbo is the proudest feeling I could ever have. We Will Never Apologize For Being Igbo!! We shall never give a damn to hate comments or actions. EVIDENTLY THE CROWD YOU SEE IN THIS THREAD WAS RENTED. At the emboldened Must you lie just to cover your shame? Go ahead and back the emboldened with facts,direct link to the so call stats you pull from your yellow bombom  Keep lying to solace yourself. All because your people are now begging the chief commander of fed republic of nigeria? No be only NO 1 na no 0! Mtcheew Anyway, we've forgiven you people. Go and sin no MORE! |

you will cry and beg God to forgive your ignorance when i return to show you "facts". It is funny that you even want to argue this when it is common knowledge even among your yoruba brothers Quit the chestbeating and go ahead already. I detest fellows who boast and pull off figures without facts. Mind you, I want direct link and facts to the assumed claimed of yours and stats base on nigeria education system. While you at it stop romancing my mention for a while until you do. WTF |

It sound like a joke to you because it is contrary to your prejudiced perceptions, if state of origin was not used you will be deceiving yourself with the usual SouthWest and passing it over as yoruba achievement. Imo has consistently topped Jamb application and always beat their any state occupying second by a wide margin, google is your friend Guy, all I ask for is facts and let's stop beating round bush. I will be here to read that. If you have nothing, nor facts? Pls, kindly leave my mention. |

Ogene001:
The reason why Imo and Anambra will be higher than Lagos and indeed all SW states in Jamb registration is simple, it is based on state of origin. Unlike all the date you quoted Are you trying to twist my brain with your per min diversion or what? Are you joking here or What? Anyway, I will pretend I understand your diversion and home-made stats until you prove otherwise |

Ogene001:
this is the problem with your people, whenever there is Igbo vs yoruba comparison you turn it SE vs SW. Lagos alone have more Igbos than any other state in Nigeria including SE states at the emboldened, are you serious? Well, No prove, bro. That was just your made up abeg. And no, I disagree with you I was just an onlooker before you fellas ibo started cheatbeasting and talking down on my trible over some mere waec results. Abeg stop pointing fingers |

mumu Afonja so you now resort to posting Wikipedia link, Afonja e haff died What's the use of carrying big head with some white substance, known as brain if a whole grown up man cant make use of it nor make his parents who spent their hard earned money to invest in his education? This is beyond human comprehension known at lu..natic and psychologic imbalance. Well, I doubt if you ever go to school, anyway as so far you have prove that indeed you lack the brain capacity to engage in intelligent discussion.  |
