The CBN governor is eastern nigeria and this report was released in 2019

bloody lairs. where does it say CBN was involved. you people think people are stupid like you? It is a purely NBS report but because you can’t accept this one without giving credit to nbs you say cbn was involved. you people are so useless

post=91937683:
Check the list, I'm still surprise why Yemi Kale refused to release other states especially eastern states, he only released two Anambra and Ebonyi state, Imo, Abia and Enugu wasn't included in phase two released last year

You didn’t notice Lagos was also not there. My sources say the states not captured refused to cooperate with the efforts and that is why they are not part.

oyatz:
Can't you see that the rating is a NBS publication.




The NBS don't just publish statistics but they gather some primary data from appropriate sources like the CBN, NUC, Schools, Nigerian Customs Service etc.

The only reason you agree with this publication is because it agrees with your expectations to some extent, otherwise you would have said it's 'Audio Statistics'

bloody lairs. where does it say CBN was involved. you people think people are stupid like you?

OfoIgbo:
The CBN governor is from the SS. Although an Igbo man. Of course, he will ensure facts emerge, instead of concocted bullsh*t we are used to getting, from NBS

bloody lairs. where does it say CBN was involved. you people think people are stupid like you?

OFFICIAL336:
It seems you are in sifia pains. Yemi rigs data in favour of Yorubas.

FACT.

Only a fool believes that Osun has lower poverty rate than Rivers and Anambra.

Hahahah the reasoning of an illiterate igbo. or is it nonsensical propaganda fueled by jealous hate and rage which is now emotions without the benefit of intellect? It is fact because you say so? Joker! engage me please let me show the world how foolish you are. is that what you were even asked? you allege he couldn’t manipulate UNDP but the same poverty was with World bank. So did he manage to manipulate world bank and not UNDP? So he managed to manipulate the data to favour the south west when it was with world bank but couldn’t when it was undp? do you even understand how it works? the poverty stats in the south east are collected using electronic devices so cannot be manipulated since it’s done online real-time and both nbs and worldbank see it immediately your igbo brothers that work at nbs collect the data in their region so it’s your igbo brothers that collect it for the south west. how can it be manipulated then? nonsense. i have heard yemi kale explain that higher poverty doesn’t mean a state is bad and lower poverty doesn’t mean a state is good and some times a performing state can attract poor people from other states thereby increasing the poverty in the good state and reducing the poverty in the bad state. or you think it’s about the indigenes? you won’t read because you have been blinded by hate which makes you foolish and lose your common sense. so if almajiris relocate today anambra amd fuel their poverty is it about igbo? foolish people that will open their mouth lacking sense. even the corruption report did they say ibos are less corrupt? it was a report on the public experience with public agencies and their staff. so when they say police onome area collect more bribes is it an ethnic thing? foolish people. if you want sense let me give you some. i’m
ready for you fools. please bring it on.

Balogunodua:
Show me the stats conducted by NBS that is against the Igbos.

There isn’t one. Let them show us. There way is to push daft lies

OFFICIAL336:
I am not the reason you can't comprehend properly.

It was prepared in partnership with a UN agency. Yemi couldn't do his magic

lair lair lair. When they same in partnership it means they merely funded it. Read the report. Data was collected by nbs and analyses by their staff as normal. Even the poverty study you idiots want to call yemi kale was in partnership with World Bank. So he influenced World Bank but not the UN. You are so stupid in thinking nobody will fact check your bullshit propaganda. Can only work where people don’t read or have no sense.

Masterkernel1:
I'm impressed, reports conducted by Nigerian Government Agencies are often against the Igbos.

There is no such thing. Just some fake news from a bunch of liars. Show us the reports where they target the ibos. Propaganda based on easily fact checked lies

WeneDiali:
I said it that yemi kale the fraudulent yoruba statistician can cook fake figures for Africa.

Master of 'Oluwole' fakery.

That guy's certification should be scrutinized properly.

Yemi Kale is only fake when the statistics don’t favour your region. Disgusting hypocrites. You think you can deceive people. All the reports are on their website for us to check. It’s only gullible and lazy people like you that will fall for such rubbish. Pathetic

mrvitalis:
Have noticed how south east perform well in any analysis done by independent international bodies ...but do badly when NBS release stats

Lol truth can't be hidden

But this is a lie. Why do you igbos lie a lot? There is no report anywhere that Yemi Kale said any such any thing. There are two corruption reports done by NBS and the UN. Both reports by the same people. You ibo don’t read and that is why you make no sense here. The people getting the data in your region are the ibo staff of NBS I’m your region. Yemi Kale does not to to that region to get data. But you people are either daft or dubious

rvp2018:
Yeah bigger than Kenya GDP and only generates about 1B dollars in revenue - despite being a state . You've got jokes. I am going to hazard a guess that when real GDP of LAGOS is finally computed - it's will be about the same as Nairobi or slightly higher. Nairobi is definitely better than lagos is so many matrix - the pictures says a thousand words.

hahahahha this guy is so unbelievably daft I’m embarasssd for Kenya. Hahahaha. Gives life to the saying he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. Problem is he knows he has been found out but he is still swinging. Trying his best to wriggle our is it and doing a bad job of it. Hahaha. Liars will try to shift focus when caught red handed. It unfortunately only works to people more daft which can’t be many

rvp2018:
Yemi Kale poodle!

it's hard reading your prose - kindly try use paragraphs. One more manifestation of your poor Nigeria cum Adis Ababa university education.

Agricluture strictly speaking as per UN classification accounts for roughly 20% of Nigeria GDP - and 40% of GDP when whole industry is factored ( I am talking agro-processing and entire value chain). Those are the data that I got from Yemi Kale of Adis Ababa university. Brazil is 5% and whole industry (agri-business value chain) is factored (20%).

Yemi Kale should have looked at Brazil's agriculture GDP and stopped there! Brazil is world re-known agricultural giant!!! - that is why IMF ought to have helped Yemi Kale validate his numbers.

So let us go slowly - let's compare Nigeria and Brazil GDP - on agriculture - strictly - as per UN Classification - A - Agriculture, hunting and forestry 1 - Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing.

Brazil share of agriculture GDP is roughly 5% . Nigeria share is 20%. Roughly they come to around 80B. According to Yemi Kale - Nigeria is world six biggest agricultural power-horse - better than likes of France.

I don't want to go further than this for now. Let settle that first - what is share of Nigeria and Brazil GDP (classification A - Agriculture).: Agriculture corresponds to ISIC divisions 1-5 and includes forestry, hunting, and fishing, as well as cultivation of crops and livestock production.

learn National accounting then comeback dude. NIGERIA uses the most updated Systen of national accounts and the latest ISIC rev 4. What you quoted is old one but I’m not suprised Kenya is behind. Backward and outdated in everything. As far as Brazil and NIGERIA Agric gdp is concerned I believe I’ve already shown you are clueless about the fact. Google is your friend. Use it rather than mess yourself up here. Dumbass.

rvp2018:
Yandl,

Before you respond - I think you need to realize just how "BIG" Brazil agriculture. It GIGANTIC. Brazil is world leading producer of SUGAR, COFFEE, BEEF, CHICKEN and name it. It also one biggest produce of forestry products !!!!!!

Sugar production alone is 700M metric tonnes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nigeria last year produced 80,000 metric tonnes !!! Kenya normally does anything 350-600K tonnes.

Just think about 650 (crushed - 38M metric tonnes) Million metric tonnes of Sugar that Brazil produces - and then ask Yemi Kale to go for his refund from University of Adis Ababa.

hahahah the slowpoke can’t read either. Brazil share of Agric isn’t 5% dumbass it’s 23% as I showed you earlier so it’s Agric gdp is even bigger than Nigeria entire gdp. U can’t keep pushing a lie as fact to defend another lie. That’s the sign of how stupid you are and anybody reading these exchanges can see how daft you are. Address my points re Brazil versus Nigeria. Deflection can’t work with me. I’ve floored u re Nigeria and Brazil and showed your premise is false and hence your entire argument lacks basis and substance. You should at least know when to shut up after you have been found out and run away like the little boy with no sense that you are.

rvp2018:
YOU SOUND AS THICK HEADED AS YEMI KALE .Kindly demonstrate how nigeria agriculuture was 100b recently and now at 80b..that bigger than Brazil.I am all ears.As for shoprite and manufacturing you got jokes.You cannot beat kenya in both formal trade and in manufacturing..roughly 90b economy.Nigeria GDP is anything btw 150 to 180b.And KINDLY TRY READ MOST OF THE PAGES HERE BEFORE ASKING KINDERGATEN QUESTIONS HERE.

hahahaha���� the ignorant and intellectually deficient ostrich buries his head��. Didn’t you say Agric was 200bn before? Now you say 100 before and now 80? How to spot lairs� and how to spot intellect deficiency. Their stories change when confronted with irrefutable facts. Then they shy away from facing the facts they are confronted and try displacement and attempt to shift focus away from the dog whipping they have just been given. So your response is to throw insults at a London school of economics superstar which your obvious dumb ass cant clean his ass? That your response to my points? Pathetic!! Weren’t you for days showing us your “intellect” for days. You met your match and want to run off throwing poorly articulated insults and logical drivel? ��. Dumb ass. Now let me show u how it’s done in intellectual debates by taking u on re Agric and brazil since that’s all u have left to hold on to as d others have been torn to pieces u can’t respond. Brazil had 65.3mn ha of cultivated land of which 31% of land area is crop land. NIGERIA has about 45 mn ha farmed of Its 82 mn arable land. Agric gdp for Brazil is 26.4% of gdp which is $2.1tn in nominal terms and $3.3tn in PPP. Since you are also maths deficient 26% of that gdp is about $546bn or $858bn in ppp. Nigeria’s gdp in 2017 was $492 billion with a high of $584bilion in 2014 in nominal terms and 1.11trn in ppp. This means ignorant fool that in nominal terms Brazil agric is even bigger than the whole NIGERIA gdp in nominal terms. Where did you get your lie that NIGERIA has a bigger Agric than Brazil? Dumb ass or maths deficient or both?� I vote vote. In Kenya I guess 80 amd 100 is bigger than 492. ���. Kenya has a population of about 44mn of which 42% are poor while NIGERIA has 87 mn poor representing about the 43%. This means NIGERIA has over 100 mn people that is twice the population Kenya outside poverty. Try and keep us. I know it’s hard. So non poor In Kenya is 18.4mn and NIGERIA is 80.4mn. Four times more than Kenyan poor and twice the whole population of Kenya. And u want to suggest trade can be more than NIGERIA in gdp. Even if each NIGERIA spends half of what each Kenya spends which isn’t even possible NIGERIA total trade will still out perform Kenya by a mile. Let’s assume each Kenyan non poor spends $2k and each Nigerians spends $1k them total Kenyan expenditure is about 36mn and NIGERIA is about 80mn. You got jokes dude and not intelligent ones. NIGERIA poverty rate and Kenya is about the same but Kenya just has fewer people. But I guess you don’t understand how absolute nos and percentages work do u? Dumb ass��. Please try me again. I’m hungry and desperate to deal with u intellectually. By d time I’m done with you intellectually u won’t come in this platform again. Let’s do this... please ��

gallivant:
You will not be taken serious around here if you don't know what you are talking about, which is pretty obvious to everyone.

I agree. That’s why nobody takes you seriously. U are based on passing falsehoods that can be easily refuted with logic or evidence. The world rankings are there for all to see. Don’t go there dude. I’ll match u bumper to bumper and show how much of a fool you are. Your whole angle is based on insulting yemi kale whose track record you don’t come close to. And you don’t even do it well. Every sentence is about yemi kale whose shit you can’t clean. Let’s do this dude. I’ll teach you how the Nigerian intellect operates. Let’s do this. Your inferiority complex is glaring and obvious

Yandl:
lets start with agriculture. I’ve floored you there. I’ve proven you have no point whatsoever on Brazil. Then let’s look at crude and telecoms and real estate all over her world and arts entertainment and recreation. Which of these can Kenya match up to? Let’s look at capital Importation and FDI. Compare nigerian stock exchange to Kenya. You need to stop making emotional statements devoid of intellect making you sound bitter and retarded. You talk of manufacturing that is still only 9% of gdp but yet the biggest manufacturing plants are being set up in NIGERIA. You look at Forbes and almost all the richest people and mostly from NIGERIA. I don’t remeber seeing any Kenyan listed. This poverty stricken NIGERIA that is weaker than Kenya has more consumption of luxury items. You also don’t even know gdp can be calculated by expenditure which shows 79% of gdp is consumption expenditure. If you understand gdp you will shut up here.

this nonsense u keep repeating as if gdp is all about production of goods. It’s goods and services and services is over half of NIGERIA not Agric and not manufacturing.... services from telecoms from real estate from arts and entertainment from hotels and restaurants from trade( how many shoprite outlets does Kenya have?). But your one track deluded and ignorant mind cannot comprehend

rvp2018:
There is nothing unique ab out Nigeria - it has huge informal economy that produce very little(as you would expect) like many other Africa economies - Nigeria is just like Tanzania or DRC minus the Oil - the only difference is pop. South Africa is indeed an advanced economy with solid 320B economy.

I have read all your rambling - and they don't make sense. Breakdown Nigeria economy - sector by sector - and demonstrate to us where this 400B (at it apex 520B) is? Let’s start with telecoms. Is Kenya even close?, real estate can Kenya match NIGERIA

Start with giant - Agricluture - worth 20% of your economy - which is officially - 80B dollars - about the size of Brazil Agricluture GDP - you can pull the national accounts from Yemi Kale website and demonstrate to us - how this biggest food importer (no 1 in wheat & rice imports) - with just few million acres of land cultivated exclusively on hoes - has the same GDP as Brazil's well reputed agriculture.

Nigeria GDP is not cooked. It's over-cooked.

lets start with agriculture. I’ve floored you there. I’ve proven you have no point whatsoever on Brazil. Then let’s look at crude and telecoms and real estate all over her world and arts entertainment and recreation. Which of these can Kenya match up to? Let’s look at capital Importation and FDI.

rvp2018:
Actually it worse than I thought - IMF told Yemi Kale to give them some few months to validate his numbers - but Nigeria gov - went ahead to announce those crazy figures - that claims Nigeria Agricluture is comparable to Brazil - and not far from US, CHina .

In short Nigeria figures are over-cooked - and it's going to be hard to justify those figures going forward. Nigeria indeed has 520B economy (1 trilion in PPP) only in Yemi Kale.

Nigeria didn't hold census for lack of funds mostly.

lies lies lies. Is it you are stupid and can’t read or so desperate to cover up for your lies that are now obvious. The Imf sent a team that worked with NIGERIA for 6 months and the figures were released jointly. Imf never said they needed time to validate any numbers. How can they when they worked on it together.

Daejoyoung:
lol your report says it was important to get them out quickly before it got politicized, if anything your report contradicts your arguement here. So what if Nigeria hurriedly got it out, how does it stop the lMF from doing their own validation? l thought you claimed earlier that the lMF does no validation, so which is it? Do they validate GDP figures or not?

yes u can see his desperate attempts to twist the facts and get it wrong. The Imf and World bank team worked together with the NIGERIA team and backed the data when it was released. In fact it was released in partnership with the Imf World bank and ADB. They also stated onnthe relased they vouched for Its Credibillity. All this was released on that day and all info provided how it was done. I think it is even still on their website. He is drowning as his story falls apart and grasping for air

Daejoyoung:
lf you are really concerned about this GDP thing, go field your questions to Yemi Kale, on their website or Social media, the man is not shy of answering questions, and from my research the man seems to be well respected internationally and a sound world class technocrat. Good luck.

i dare you to fave yemi kale directly not hidden behind some foolish handle throwing ignorant tantrums here

rvp2018:
YEMI KALE OF ETHIOPIA UNIVERSITY HAHAHA RESPECTED BY WHO.With bsc and msc from lowly ranked Adis Ababa university.You got jokes.The university is ranked 12k places..probably worse than any kenya university and that your number guy.

no u got the jokes man. Addis Ababa is ranked higher than any Kenyan university and the guy has a masters and PhD in economics from London School of economic and has worked as a ecometrician and Goldman Sachs and Merith Lynch. Where did that so called old man Prof of yours work. What has he done. Why is Nigeria’s statistics rates much higher than Kenyan by the Worldbank and only since yemi kale took over. Stop fooling
Yourself man

Leroy19:
The supposedly biggest economy in the continent can't operate a national carrier. Nigeria which is richer than Kenya should be able to easily purchase boeings and turn the Murtala Muhammed Airport into a world-class facility like JKIA. Nigeria's bank balances are so funny, where is the solid cash that the 400 billion economy can use to revamp their airline sector. Kenya is using about 4.15 billion US dollars to fund it's educational budget this year being of a population of 45-50m,can Nigeria match up this numbers. Where is the solid cash for the Nigerians? Are you so informal that you cannot throw up such amount of monies?

hahaha another emotional crap devoid of intellect. So since Ethiopia has the largest airline in Africa does that make it the best. Why are you so ignorant ? What nonsense

rvp2018:
He is best of the worst.Brain drain.Kenya stats and econometric has for long time been under Prof Terry Ryan an onyimbo kenyan who knows his shiet.Not Adis Ababa idiot like Yemi Kale.You need to get someone of Prof Terry Ryan calipher to help you with credible figures

yemi kale is an award winning Msc and PhD from London School of economics. Prof Terry Ryan from where. You are just making a fool of yourself with incorrect information.

sufferNsmiling:
The foreign farmers which came to nigeria from zimbabwe, south africa ,brazil and india most of them left nigeria too order countries like cameroon ,ghana and benin republic. The foreign farmers left in nigeria are less than 12 today.72 zimbabwean farmers and 23 south african farmers team to do farming in nigeria in 3 years they ran away mostly to neighbouring african countries. That is what we nigerians are good in chasing the companies to build other countries why we worship criminals up and down the place.

Amazing stupidity in assuming land mass equates to arable land and equates to Agric output. Dude land mass depends on what a Country uses it’s land for. A more advanced country will need to use less land to produce the same amount of output so that is another purely daft suggestion. It will also depend on the choice of production. Why does the USA protect Agric inntheoe Country and do whatever it can to block nigerian Agric imports? If NIGERIA Agric is so small and can’t compter. This is another reason exports are weak . All this your textbook baseless analysis is embarrassing. It shows the lack of depth in Kenya education

rvp2018:
That rich coming from you. Whatever Yemi Kale throws to Imf/WB - that is what they'll take - can only massage the price numbers or advice on weighting - but as a rule - whatever Nigeria tell the world - is their GDP - it will be taken at it highest. But there are things you can't fake. So obviously if you ran to WB or IMF - the same IMF that accept you economy is 500B - cannot even lend you 10B - they lend you as much as Kenya .South Africa whose GDP is credible has debt of nearly 180B - Kenya has debt of around 50b - with GDP of 85-88B. Nigeria has 70B debt - and struggle to pay. Look at the gov revenues...520B economy - can only generate 20B '. A real GDP like South Africa generates revenues more than 100B. Kenya has revenues 20B.

In short you're free to fake it; call yourself the biggest economy; but besides the momentarily bragging right brought down by realization that Nigeria replaced India as poverty capital; it won't help you.

What is important for Nigeria is to find it's real bottom. To know the kind of hole they are in. If they deluded themselves they are big economy - they will not hold themselves or their politician to account.

Half of the Nigerian economy is informal in nature with 37 million micro businesses. Common sense if u had one would have told you South Africa has more revenues because their economy isn’t as informal.in just one year aggressive tax reforms have already added 15 mn into the tax net. Your analysis smacks of ignorance and hate which is clouding your common sense. And you keep mentioning the stats mans name. I’m really suspecting he stole your girlfriend.sounds very personal and illogical

rvp2018:
Why the poverty? You see Nigeria data is all faked. Tell me for example if you do not export anything of those - how do you count what is planted and internally consumed. FAO & IMF - will just take whatever Yemi Kale's CBN throws at them. You minister of agricluture when asked about rice production - quoted Indexmulli or CIA - yet he is suppose to be the source of data.

Of course we can talk about Kenya SOLID CREDIBLE FIGURES any day any time. But Nigeria data is as fake as anything made in Nigeria.

Kenya obviously is mostly semi-arid but we still produce enough food - for local consumption and export - and we have very small deficit in certain crops.We produces lots of Maize and Irish Potatos - our two most important food crops - we produce lots of milk - lots of meat - name it.

Another daft post that can only fool daft people. IMF and co audit all these figures published on d every quarter. They just don’t take what they are given. Do you know your so called credible Kenya sends people to NIGERIA for data training and to learn how to do their job. Kenya used NIGERIA as Best practice. Better ask your statistics office. You export because you don’t have the demand. NIGERIA has a huge consumer market and get is why we import a lot. Gdp is also trade by the way which is the second largest and trade is largely imports. That is a sign of a big economy with a big market. You don’t seem to understand what gdp is about. What poverty? NIGERIA does not have any updated poverty data. The one you quote is based on some desktop models which cannot be based on anything factual. Also if 80mn are poor it means 120 mn Nigerians are not poor which is already more than the whole of Kenya . Using absolute numbers is the height of stupidity. Theis is even assuming the 80mn is correct.

kikuyu1:
My goodness! You actually said that-is that really you,obi1kenobi? I just posted up your economic breakdown and on the same page showed your oil earnings aren't getting to your treasury! Where would those billions therefore be coming from?



And more....



Also...

Earnings and revenues are low AF so please tell us how me,rvp2018 and Prof Falade who estimate your GDP max 200 bn$ are wrong. I'll wait.

You need to go and read up on how gdp is produced. NIGERIA has over 33 million farmers whose output is measured using fieldwork and backed by satellite imagery. And it’s 24% of gdp not 200bn like you claim. That is more 140 bn usd but since you want to deceive u will of course embellish. 70% of nigerian agriculture is subsistence in nature so will never show up in export figures or in revenue. Your basis all wrong.

rvp2018:
Beside history is no recourse or excuse - you got a problem - deal with it. It doesn't matter how it came about - that is a historical fact - but as of now - as of today - you've got a debilitating caste system that prevent millions of indians from social mobility.

This @rvp2018 is clearly a slowpoke and not very intelligent. Every post he mentions yemi kale name. Did he steal your girlfriend. I’ve just been reading and laughing. You have no clue how the process of gdp works and how it is measured. Unfortunately the guys. Taken you on so far also don’t get it. Try and take me on about this rubbish on fake NIGERIA gdp and Kenya economy better than NIGERIA with all your women chasing nigerian men. Complete rubbish. Throwing insults is not intellectual sir. It’s just purely stupid

The attention of the National Bureau of Statistics has been drawn to an article appearing in some newspapers claiming to quote the Statistician General of the Federation as having stated that, "Only 27.2% of Nigerians will be poor by 2015", during a workshop, where he was represented by a staff. The NBS wishes to categorically state that this assertion is completely false as no such statement was made by any staff or representative of the NBS.

The statement made by the representative of the NBS alluded to the UN MDGs target that requires countries to halve poverty by 2015. Based on the baseline poverty rate of 2004, which was 54.4%, Nigeria would need to be at a poverty level of 27.2% in order to achieve the said UN MDGs target. This is clearly not an estimate or forecast but merely an expectation of the UN MDGs. Any further reports suggesting otherwise should be disregarded.

Actually NBS in their twitter website and Facebook pages say they never said anything like that. What the representative of the statistician general said is the Mdg target for poverty is for all countries to halve poverty by 2015 and since it was 54 percent during that time the target was made for Nigeria the target should be 27 percent and not that they forecast it will be 27percent. Another display of incompetence from Nigerian reporters. You all just wasted your time debating a fake report from Nigerian newspapers. Visit their website at www.nigeriastat(that's all) it's probably the best website in government today and one of the best statistics sites in the world. Very very rich for a government agency.
