No amount of lies and propaganda can ever shield the truth. Kpomkwem!

This study was conducted several years ago by two SW academics (see their names and institution below) using Kano, Enugu and Ibadan as typical North, SE and SW cities
Here is the interesting SUMMARY:
A lot of northerners beg in SW and SE
More SEners (2%) beg in SW than SWner (0.8%) in SE. I guess this can be explained by the fact that more SEners (rich and poor) live in SW than SWners (rich and poor) in SE. Anyways, 2 and 0.8 are nearly similar. 0.8 is almost 1
Far less (only 0.8%) of the beggars in the North are Igbo as against 17.3% Yorubas begging in the North. This means far more Yorubas in the North are in dire financial straits than Igbos in the North
Much more Muslims are beggars than Christians, even in the SE where there are fewer Muslims (I guess most of these would be the northern beggars in SE)
More of the beggars from SE would not be begging did a calamity not happen to their source of livelihoods.

Ur strata and ur sample size nko? How did u draw it to come to dat conclusion?

Otherwise, all these are just speculations and not statistical facts.
