Nigeria Peace Index unveiled, as Osun and Kogi emerged most peaceful states in Nigeria
https://mrrightsng..com.ng/2018/04/nigeria-peace-index-unveiled-as-osun.html

Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP), an independent Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) has publicly unveiled the much
anticipated Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) research and the index came with some shocking revelation. Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) is the first
national peace index in Nigeria focused on measuring peace tendencies through foundational indices.

In the Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) publicly unveiled in Abuja on Friday, Osun and Kogi State emerged as the 2 most peaceful states in Nigeria,
followed by Ekiti, Kwara and Imo State, which emerged as 3rd, 4th and 5th most peaceful states respectively. The index also revealed that
Yobe, Kebbi, Bauchi, Zamfara and Sokoto State are the five least peaceful states in Nigeria. This is apart from Borno State that was
not considered in the research due to insufficient data and the Boko Haram red light.

The Executive Director of Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP), Ambassador Abdulrazaq O Hamzat explained that, ‘’measuring peace at
the national level allows a country to assess the social, political and economic factors that create peace.

He also noted further that, ‘’human attitudes, which often impede peace is a total summation of human life experiences, which if improved upon may lead to a more peaceful society, and failure of which leaves us with constant unrest’’.

Explaining the methodology used in developing the index, Abdulrazaq stated that, In attempting to rate the level of peace in Nigeria, NPI
investigated the extent to which states experience social, economic,political and environmental factors that either hinders or promote
peace.

Five broad indicators were adopted for the index and they include,Level of Poverty, Crime Rate, Level of Education, Rate of Human Rights
Abuses and Level of Incarceration.

‘’We collected data for year 2010-2016, an average of which gives us the result of Nigeria peace Index 2017’’ He said.

Abdulrazaq also added that, ‘’The NPI was referenced in a special report presented at the United Nations in 2017 by United Network of
Young Peace builders titled ‘’Mapping a Sector: Bridging the Evidence Gap on Youth-Driven Peace building’’.

Speaking about regional performances, South West emerged as most peaceful region in Nigeria, having 2 of its states, Osun and Ekiti as
1st and 3rd most peaceful states on the Nigeria Peace Index.

‘’Additionally, the South South region, despite the activities of militancy groups still has more tendency of peace than South East,
North Central, North West and North East region. Abdulrazaq said.

The representative of Statistician General of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Mr Ichedi S.J also commended the efforts of FPP,
stating that the organizations effort is an attempt to begin the process of changing Nigeria’s narrative. While urging FPP to seek
collaboration and endorsement from statutory government agencies, he assured them of the willingness of NBS to provide all necessary
support in the future.

Engr. Chinedu Okpalanma, Co-Convener of Citizens Action To Take Back Nigeria (CATBAN) who unveiled the document expressed delight with the
effort put into the index.

According to him, this excellent research work came at a time when Nigeria dearly need peace in its quest for nation building and this
important report will go along way in shaping our perception as well as provide appropriate policy direction for peace building.

Okpalanma further added that, It is not an over statement to say that,Nigeria Peace Index is a significant initiative within the context of
efforts aimed at not only tackling insecurity, but also at building peace, an integral part of the Nation Building process.

He recommended the document to both federal and state government, policy makers, academic institutions and international organizations
as a useful tool in informing their actions and processes.

not considered in the research due to insufficient data and the Boko Haram red light.

I disagree with this list


But when I saw it was by a Nigerian NGO I wasn't surprised it was rubbish

Forget about peace index.


We all know, sentiments apart, there is no place in Nigeria that is peaceful.

mrrights:


Why do you disagree? It would be proper for you to state your reason.

Because it's a straight contradiction to what UN provided not too long ago, 2016 to be precise. Yet the research from the NGO was supposedly from 2010-2016.

Right!!!! The propagandist don do am again.
What do this people actually earn

Why should you write osun village and wealth on the same page? osun village where they all live in mud houses. The same osun village where they don't have toilets.

Onitsha, World's Dirtiest City































Approaching Okpoko market through thick smog on the back of an okada (motorcycle taxi), the natural reaction is to cover your nose to protect yourself from the dust storm – but the effort is futile.

When a lorry zooms past, kicking up yet another red cloud of dirt, a trader turns the head of a sleeping toddler away from the road, a protective act that is as poignant as it is pointless.

This is a typical day in the southern Nigerian port city of Onitsha – which last year gained notoriety when it was ranked the worst city in the world for the staggering levels of PM10 particulate matter in its air.

Onitsha’s mean annual concentration was recorded at 594 micrograms per cubic metre by the World Health Organization – massively exceeding the WHO’s annual guideline limit for PM10s of 20μg/m3.

PM10 refers to coarse dust particles between 10 and 2.5 micrometres in diameter, while PM2.5s are even finer and more dangerous when inhaled, settling deep in a person’s lungs. Sources of both include dust storms, gases emitted by vehicles, all types of combustion, and industrial activities such as cement manufacturing, construction, mining and smelting. Onitsha scores highly on most of the above – as do other rapidly growing Nigerian cities such as Kaduna, Aba and Umuahia, all of which also featured in the WHO’s 20 worst offenders for PM10s.

In Onitsha’s very busy Okpoko market, my air quality monitor registers 140 for PM10s and 70 for PM2.5s – all way over recommended healthy levels, but still nothing compared to the readings triggered in other parts of this densely populated commercial and industrial hub.

The entire vicinity of the market is perpetually dusty, as wood-sellers saw lumber into different shapes and sizes. The air here is made worse by all the fine sand particles that fly off the back of trucks as they visit one of the many dredging companies on the bank of the River Niger, just behind the wood market.

^^^^^^^^ that's what the UN said about your dirty and stinking village...



Pollution is from dirty and dirty living.

Even without stats, everyone knows that SW/ yorubaland is the most peaceful region in Nigeria.
Before you disagree with this stat, ask yourself which region is the most industrialised in Nigeria?
Which region also has the highest number of nonindigenes? the answer that will come to your mind will surely be SW.
We all know that security is one of the criteria that enhance industrialisation and population growth.
SE that has the least percentage of nonindegenes and where people are running away from everyday can never be the most peaceful.
This is why the stat that shows SE as the most peaceful is fake.

If being poor equates being peaceful, Osun and Kogi should carry go biko.
I laffs in Swahili, deomelo please clap for Osun state.

This osun normal environment dey pepper deomelo.

Even your normal environment in the village called osun dey pepper you like this

osun is a village filled with mud houses and rustic roofs.

Why UN rated Osun as Nigeria’s second richest state


THE United Nations’ Global Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index which ranked Osun State as Nigeria’s second richest state has three measurements and 10 indicators used to evaluate Overall Poverty. Every measurement is similarly weighted; every indicator within a measurement is additionally weighted, and included. The index uses 10 indicators to measure poverty in three dimensions: education, health and living standards. The United Nations Global Multi- dimensional Poverty Index published a report on the poverty rate of Nigerian states that ranked Osun State as second richest state. This ranking is largely on account of the state’s massive investment in education.

Osun state is leading in all the indexes according to several and diverse organizations including the UN while your villages are always at the bottom, even the dirtiest in the world.


Ndo...

osun is the largest village-state in Nigeria

Osun has the lowest Poverty Index level- Statistician General



The Statistician - General of the Federation, Dr. Yemi Kale, has reiterated that Osun State remained the lowest in poverty index level.


The statistician -general, who was represented at the ceremony by a Director in the NBS, Mr . Isiaka Olanrewaju, said some people thought that Osun was not doing well in poverty reduction but the report on the analysis and the indicators had proved otherwise.

He words, “We have compiled some indicators to rank states based on their performance and when some people are thinking that Osun is not doing well, those indicators proved otherwise .

“There is one indicator that measure incidence of poverty in Nigeria and on the ranking, Osun State came last , meaning that Osun is the first state where poverty would not have its way .

Osun, lowest poverty index.

Whenever I think of osun, what comes to my mind is village filled with mud houses and rustic roofs.

Osun rated 2nd in human capital



OSUN State has been rated second in the human capital index in a report released by a body, identified as National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria (NCCN).

The report released early November by NCCN took two years of research into the factors that drive.

competitiveness in Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT, while the research was funded by Ford Foundation and The Tony Elumelu Foundation.

Nigeria's Misery Index and How Osun Makes the Good Grade

Osun has been ranked the second less miserable and poverty-ridden state in 2017 in line with the objectives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank recommendations. Osun State has shared the same goal of raising living standards of its people. Its approaches to poverty reduction are complementary, with the IMF focusing on macroeconomic issues and the World Bank concentrating on long-term economic development and poverty reduction. The implication of this ranking on the Misery Index is clearly desirable. The implication is good living standard of Osun citizens.

Lowest misery index nko, na Osun.

Pollution is from dirty and dirty living.

Do not allow South East matter to take your life, in case you don't know, there's no amount of envy or jealous that will make you greater than a single South Easterner. Going by your post on different topics, it shows you have a lot of bitterness and hatred for the Igbos in your heart. My advice to you in particular is that you should pause and think how this hatred has improved your life, hatred is a killer, it can trigger heart attack via hormone secretions. You will never win award for hating, by hating and filty speech you are making yourself a willing tool in the hands of the devil. You will remain Deomole if you mind your business and let the Igbos be.

E pain you as to what you were expecting didn't favour you. If they had said southeast is the most peaceful, you won't say Lagos Ibadan journalism. We understand that kind of pain. WHO is also Lagos Ibadan journalism that tagged you tribe as the dirtiest in the world.

We are talking about positive indexes for Osun state, but Igbos are just barking and posting rubbish pictures all over the place like rabid bingos and they still can not show us any positive index for their ipob villages.
