kk

99% of Nigerians are poor but wait oo, North Central has 21M people, 20.2m of them are poor

Nigerians are largely poor, if being checked Side by sides according to a worldwide accepted forms for being Rich

The Statistics was rigged in favour of both the SW and the SE.

Our politicians don kill this country.

Last I checked,both NBA and other statistical agencies listed the South East as the poorest in Southern Nigeria.

Clearly shows that having the President from your region doesn't automatically translate to improved economic welfare for you as an individual but as usuals Nigerians would prefer voting along lines of tribe and religion instead of competence or equity, what an unjust nation stewing in it's own mess.

This data is false, out right lie. North central is far below this in number of poor people

The metrics used are mostly not reliable

Another thread meant to be a battle ground for the Yorubas and Igbos..

Almost everyone in the North Central is poor, according to this chart.

Meanwhile, the bulk of the poor people in the South South are found in Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. Ironically, both states are amongst the top 6 largest oil producing states in the country.

So the so-called South South are a bunch of poor people? In fact, I don't believe this report.

So NBS are incompetent?

It's the reality of how the sampling size used in the majority tribes like Hausa, Yoruba and Fulani that I find concerning.

The population of the South East is the least so the sampling in relation to SW and NW may not be fair. If you sample 10 people out of 20 and take same size of 10 people among 50 people, the probability is higher in the population that is lower but I know you can then use statistical tools to test and analyse the variations which I am aware is still based on statistical assumptions.

It is either the NW and SW group data are faulty or that of the SE is faulty because both groups are at the opposite poles with SE being the least populated zone while NW/SW are the most populated geopolitical zones. I will not even bother go to the apparent asymmetry in having the SE's data in this report with the reality in SE at a time Igboland is having long days of political sit at home days and massive emigration of SEterners to other zones further increasing the chances of reduced population of SE.

Not competence... Their Data doesn't give full reality, it's just like a vague data

Majority tribe like Fulani? Are you kidding me?

By the way, you need to wean yourself off South East obsession. Make you no go die on top nothing. Igbos are not your mate

We need proper census to know the situation of things in Nigeria.

The only data I take seriously in this country now are IGR, petroleum products consumption and crimes. Those figures are accurately recorded.

On the flip side, unemployment, GDP per state, and poverty figures can be doctored or calculated based off of estimates.

We cannot keep running a country on hypocrisy. It will take us nowhere.

Rubbish. We told you that poverty rate is measured in percentage you were busy deceiving yourself with number of poor people per square mile, a very useless data

Fake stats

How did they arrive at these figures?

North West: 92.8%

North Central: 96.2%

Nigeria wey no get database dey dish out figures. All NBS staff should be sacked. They are collecting fat salaries for doing nothing.

North Central has Abuja, Kwara, Benue, Kogi and Nassarawa. You think if 96.2% of the Population there are in poverty, the region won't be in turmoil? Even Sudan and Somalia no get these terrible stats.

Ask Nigeria Bureau of Statistics. I only posted their data

You go explain tire because no evidence.

Do you even know how sampling works? Who told you they measure poverty rate by landmass?

Go back to school please

Lol.. rubbish statistics
