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.

rdokoye:
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?

YorubaHero12:
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!

a. The NLSS is a household-based survey conducted by the National Bureau
of Statistics in collaboration with the World Bank. The main objective of
the survey is to collect information on the living conditions of the Nigerian
population. The survey collected data on individual and household
demographics (age, gender, marital status, among others), access to
education, health and basic services, employment, assets, and income.
The survey is used to measure the prevalence of poverty and to estimate
a wide range of socio-economic indicators including benchmarking of the
Sustainable Development Goals.

2. Who conducts the survey?

collaboration the World Bank.

Kidakudz5:

It seems you don't have anything else doing with your life at the moment other than countering people's comment.

I sincerely hope you're earning a living from it otherwise it's such a shame...

Oga I'm not from Nnewi but I was born there and spent most of my growing up there. Those people are stinkingly rich and the funny part is that they don't go about making noise about their riches. I was hoping I would someday marry an Nnewi man but alas it never happened

Sunriserealtors:

Abi na Igbo getam
Keep been jealous of people who don't know you exist.

majamajic:
Till now u never mention a town , shame onto u , u argue blindly
Since u don't believe TVC, and Forbes
Then come up with a town let's compare,if not go and have a sit

Polchiz:
It may shock you that if figures are released according to tribe and not location,60% of the millionaires in Lagos, Abuja and Kano will be Igbos.

Sunriserealtors:
This your post shows how painful you are. I can't have someone like you as a friend. Your type is bitter when someone is progressing. Just look at the rubbish you wrote there just to discredit a TV documentary. Stop this atitude and channel it into positive ventures.

majamajic:
So igbos don't live Abuja and Lagos ?

Bring up a town in Abuja or Lagos compare their billionaire indigenes with nnewi indigenes , go by town head to head , nnewi is not a state , it's the town with highest numbers of billionaires in Africa
Come up with a Nigeria town let's compare their indigenes
I challenge u , don't run to
Mention me with a town , if not close your mouth and give nnewi the Respect !


























So far none of you has been able to come up with any reasonable answers, figures.

The thought-provoking question is, where are those billionaires, are they not a human being like you and I to know who they are?


Where in the world do people claim to have the highest numbers of billionaires out of thin air or without figures?

What numbers or figures were used to compare them with their counterparts in Lagos, Abuja head-to-head, and come to such conclusion?

I dare to say, Abuja and Lagos have the highest number of billionaires. Can you dispute that head-to-head with facts

I don't want any emotional or oral figures my mentions ya all.

Thank you all for your understanding.

Igbos no doubt are the richest in Nigeria. They have the largest concentration of people that live above poverty line as a result of their penchant for self reliance and competitiveness not only amongst themselves but in the environment where they find themselves.
Igbos love to migrate in search of greener pastures

An average Igbo is very ambitious and never cows at economic challenges.
They can adapt easily to economic swings of any given location. They have proactive business tendencies and inborn informal business forecast skills thus making them willing to delve into virtually every form of commercial activity.
You'd see them VIRTUALLY IN CONTROL of sectors of commerce like:
Household Electronics
Mobile Phones, ICT equipment
Office and Hospital Equipment
Clothing and Apparels
Cosmetics products
Groceries
Automobiles and Spare Parts
Building Materials
Public Transportation
Household commodities
General import and Exports
Hospitality amongst others

You can still feel their commendable presence in other sectors that they are not in dominant control of like:
Manufacturing
Oil and Gas
Banking
Forex
Craftsmanship
Real estate
Food and Beverages
Hospital and Healthcare etc
There's no state or town in Nigeria that you can't find a market dominated by Igbos. There's no country in the world you can't find an Igbo man.

Igbos own at least 60percent of the hotels in Nigeria.

Apart from the indigenes of host states Igbos are the highest number of landlords and property owners in every state in Nigeria.

An average Igbo man is very afraid of poverty that's why some can even venture into narcotics trade just to escape poverty.

Apart from few Areas with heavy Federal Government presence like Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt, Igbo states/regions are the most developed in Nigeria despite being war torn in the inglorious Nigerian civil war of 1967-1970

Call it chestbeating or anything but its a verifiable fact.

slyfoxxjoe:
forget Forbes. You really think Bezos or Bill Gates are the richest men in the world? Lol they only list people with declared, traceable and legit assets. I can categorically tell you there are many men of the underworld or even legit businessmen with untraceable assets that are richer than Bill gates but don’t show up on Forbes list.

AmazingELixir:
Stop arguing blindly, If you claim to be a Nigerian and don't know Nnewi a town that can even go for a local government as been the hub of money bags and big time industrialists then sorry..

There is something different about Anambra people those guys don't do some things, their resilience encapsulates the survival and can_do spirit of the south Easterners.

Unfortunately that resilience also leads them negatively as their love for money leads them to do somany unthinkable things.

pasol4real:
If u like killl yourself. It still won’t change the fact that
Nnewi alone is richer than Nigeria.

NaijadrivaCars:
It is a pity you never left your State before. Real Stats. Check out FORBES and see for yourself.

Toscarel:
give us the real stats about an alternative town with more billionaires or go and drink sniper out of jealousy

majamajic:
He said town , u are calling state
Won't u get out of this thread ?
If u fall from poorest nnewi person money , u go break hand and neck
Better go !

Ask an elder in your village....say papa who are igbos?

benny4wax:
Bro, good morning. Sorry I had to quote you so as to make my point. I was born in Kaduna, lived in Lagos and did my University in Anambra state University. I am not from Nnewi, neither am I from Anambra. I am Idoma by tribe. Whatever I am going to tell you now is without bias.

In my final year in school, I was nominated by the parish priest in my Church in school to be the chairman organising committee of the Final Year forum. I and a few others had the task to raise funds to print brochure, cook food for the whole students and buy gifts for the Chaplaincy.

I and my committee members struggled to raise funds. One faithful day, I decided to visit Chikason group in Nnewi. After speaking with a man who looked so unkept about my plight he collected my account number and after a long while, a week to the event I received an alert of #500,000. It was like a miracle. I used part of the money to pay for for brochure and the rest on food and drinks and gift for the church.

It's a long story. The man called 2 days to the event to request for an invitation. He came, saw the happiness in the face of the graduands and asked me if I still need money to solve any more problem which I declined because half a million was more than enough.

Nnewi people are stupendously rich. Igbos are rich you will hardly know because the rich ones are not in government and they live a low-key life.
