It is either you are being intentionally dubious or you are poorly informed. Lagos has the Highest cosmopolitan population. It is also the state with the highest population of non-Yorubas yet it has only 27% poverty. How come the influx is making Lagos rich and Ogun very poor? Don't you see that something is wrong with you?
Also, rural poverty is far worse in rural areas than in cosmopolitan areas. I own a food logistics business. I constantly travel to the extremely poor villages of the SW.
I have seen rural poverty and I know how bad it is.
The truth is that the so-called leeches have increased the wealth of your state. Extreme poverty is not in Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode, and Abeokuta. Rather it is in Owode, Odeda, and Ipokia.
Again how come Anambra with a poverty rate that is half that of Ogun is the cause of your poverty? If you want to know the cause of SW poverty, ask me and I would tell you for free.
My workers just came back from Alabata, a town in Odeda LGA. It's full of poor people like all other rural areas in Ogun.

I agree with you that Ogun west area is the poorest but this doesn't negate the fact that non-yorubas trooping in into the state everyday contributes to it's problem.

Don't bother to talk about SW poverty, focus on that of SE which is scarier than ours, I've been across the east, all I'll say is may God take control. Anambra is not the only state in the east, there are several from other states trooping in everyday. Also Lagos is not the least poor in SW but Ondo... Osun and Ekiti has less poverty than Imo, Enugwu, Ebonyi. Oyo with over 10m people has less poverty than Enugwu, Ebonyi. With a population of about 21m and almost homogeneous region, I thunk you should be more concerned about your region instead of Ogun. Ogun is still more industrialized, urbanised, better health care and larger IGR than your region. Go and check the new stats, HDI in Ogun state is still bigger than any state in the east. From access to water, to access to easier healthcare, less unemployment, better security, more internet access, and so on.

This is 2022. The facts don't lie.

Sharing poverty with high IGR

Under the leadership of Obi, poverty level in Anambra State increase.

Obi failed as the Governor of Anambra State, he ruled the state for 8 years but could only increase the IGR by a mere 18%.

AerialMapper:
And in return, what do the citizens get in return for the taxes paid

0 infrastructure
0 security
0 Education
0 health

The impact isn’t showing because ibo people are too many in SW, help us beg them to go back to their region where obi has developed.
Tnx.

Oga SE poverty is high but it is 0.5% lower than SW poverty and if you remove Lagos, the SW becomes extremely poor. Ogun state has a high IGR but almost everyone is poor. Anambra has a very low IGR but only 37% is poor. Who is the dummie?
50% of the entire SW is poor. Without Lagos, this number jumps to more than 60%. 49.5% of the entire SE is poor. Both are terrible results but clearly one is better.

Manofnaija:


See all the gibberish you vomited.
Tell me, what less do expect from capital city of a country? Ogun state is benefiting due to it's nearness to the capital.
Moreover, Ibos contribute to over 50% of the assumed IGR in these states.
FG creates bottle necks in eastern development because of their fears. Like the Calabar and Warri sea ports.
Let FG make one of the eastern states capital of Nigeria and see what they will become in 10 years

Just 50%?
No o, ibos contribute 99% of the IGR, but unfortunately they abhor such in their land.
They love SW more than their region, isn’t it?

Mad man.
Always finding excuses and more excuses to defend your total failure.

buckeyemedia:
Included in what?

You do not know? On the list of states whose IGR surpasses federal allocations?

BATified2023:
don’t mind them especially those south east noisemakers

They are highly annoying

I ask all igbos here to tell us what south east add to Nigeria?

Those Coward only come online to talk trash, I'm yet to come across one of them in real life. Those cowards will never say what they say here to yorubas in a face to face situation. Social media is a perfect platform for them to express their bitterness.

Cullinane:
I am not Ibo, but let the Ibos carry all their wealth from across Nigeria and go back to the East to focus on their homeland. Let us see after 5 years if you will be making this tribalism noise you are making. In Lagos alone, how many Yoruba businesses contribute to Lagos wealth. It is Niger-Delta oil companies headquartered in Lagos (something the South South needs to reverse), foreign multinationals, banks headquartered in Lagos and Ibo man businesses that is carrying your region. So rest abeg. You guys make noise too much, let us drill down to the real data now and you no go get mouth again.

Animal talk.
If you and them don’t go, then you’re all bastards.
I wonder who’s holding you back.

temitope27:
how government go benefit from 2/2 shops

How has IGR impacted on your miserable life. Even the so called people you call 2/2 shop owners the poverty level in their states is low. These IGRs are not indicators of prosperous states. Kaduna has high poverty and is among the top 10 states with high poverty. even Anambra has a lower poverty rate than Ogun state.

Lagos and ogun


Please where are yeasterners, Dem talk say Dem get many investment for their barren land

Naturally you are not smart and you don't have sense. The so called barren land owners according to NIWA data stated that 60% of shipping meant for Nigeria that comes via Lagos ports ends in Onitsha. That is a barren land according to you. Try and have some sense abeg

Eniitankorede:




You dey mind them. Awon poverty development party and Losing Party of Nigeria are in silent mode. They want to spread poverty and loss to the rest of Nigeria.

Hey you this poor urchin you are talking again. The so called pooverty development party you are talking about according to NIWA data 60% of shipping meant for Nigeria coming via Lagos ports goes to Onitsha and Nnewi.
I know you are envious of the igbos and you are in love with your oppressors that is why you always shout Oloye when you see them.

Try and have sense abeg.

Delete what you post here if you don't understand it .

This statistics you display shows that south east state with 22million people has 50% poverty rate

Simple topic and the next thing is for you to display your pettiness and preach for whoever cares to listen..you people are so doomed in Nigeria..you exert energies over nothingness,who did this to you people?!!!

Let me add one more point, That the SE has the least poverty in Nigeria is a miracle. That zone is supposed to be by far the poorest. In 1970, it was by far the poorest and the SW zone has always been richer. Instead of you to be asking what when wrong in the SW, you blame it on the Igbos as if the Igbos are the people in your villages. Unless you stop your Igbo hate, you would keep falling into poverty because rather than stop the problem, you keep blaming others. The Igbos are not your problem and they have never been.

Ezewuzie01:
It is a shame that the demented Peter Obi was allowed eight years of woeful governance to plunge the once prosperous Anambra state into multi dimensional poverty. The idiot couldn't see and learn from how Tinubu elevated Lagos state despite living in Lagos.

https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2022/11/14/peter-obi-threw-anambra-into-massive-poverty-level-as-governor-soludo/

I am sure this is sarcasm personified because Tinubu didn't do jack

SugarGirl44:

Tnx.

Yes boss!... you sha know the IGR isnt coming from the agberos. You have confirmed that the Igbos are too many engaging in economic ventures contributing towards the IGR.

BATified2023:
say that to your father when u get home n remind him of d name nnamdi kanu called him n your mom

You see you don't have sense that is why you cannot understand Economic indices. In your childish logic you think IGR is a measure of prosperity. The same IGR has not even impacted on your miserable life and that of your family and village and you are here yapping.

Oga you don't have sense, i will always say it to you until i see some improvement in your thinking.

oga gtf out of here, you accuse someone of hating your tribe when they call out your hate and bile. Before the war started the Western Region was better than other regions and as much as they have regressed today their region are still better than yours. You don't need to tell me what's wrong with SW, like I said focus on your own region, I'm sure you're based someone in SW.... We know our problem, we know the bastards that truncated our regional system of gov in 1966 with Decree 34. We will fix this when BAT becomes the president, I don't have your tribe, I don't understand your fixation about my region when yours is poorer in all standards.

nakaman:
why is Anambra missing.

do u know how much soludo tax people for owning a fowl.

not to talk owning a bicycle.

If that's the truth then Anambra is on the way to prosperity. Kudos to soludo.

One of the reasons Nigeria is backward and poor is because government doesn't generate enough tax to fund development, then we think they're doing us a favour when we don't pay any tax.
