Obaaderemi2:
What made Anambra so poor 4 years ago that its poverty rate was almost 1.5 that of Oyo? And what has happened between then and now to put it ahead within 4 years? That's bullshit. Like I told another dishonest fellow like you yesterday, you can fake your gdp and poverty rate but igr is something hard to fake. Governors would rather give lower values for IGR than give accurate values. IGR is a pointer to how well your economy is doing. It means the economy of the south east is largely unorganized and smaller than what is given. You are the same person that said California was poorer than Texas. Even an idiotic child who knows one or two things about America should know without checking that California is richer than Texas.

Yes, the East can rise one day and become the best place in the world but not with specimens like you who don't ask questions and just want to gloat.

tctrills:

So a few things here, Even your snapshot shows that Anambra was not so poor 4 years ago please go and check what you posted.
Please explain how to fake IGR and poverty rate.
Again, you are writing a new chapter in Economics. US IGR was lower in 2018 than in 2016 yet their economy grew much more so you don't know what you are saying.
I never said California is poorer than Texas. I said it has a worse poverty rate. Please learn to read.

tctrills:

I am sure you don't know that there is a relationship between poverty and out of school kids Mr Nobel.
The SW used to be no 1 in education. It's clear that things are really going wrong in the SW. The SW is the only region in Nigeria that does not have an excuse to be poor. The Nigerian experiment have been fair to the zone. So when we begin to see decay and failures in the system, we should all be alarmed.
Education vs IGR, which is a more important metrics to you sir? Would you be surprised if in the next 4 years, the gap keeps getting wilder between the zones?
The SW was know for education in the days of Awo but that's now old glory. Yet you expect poverty not to be on a rise.

Across the geo-political zones, the child MPI shows higher poverty in the North-East and North-West (where 90% of children are poor) and lower poverty in the South-East and South-West (74% and 65.1% respectively)

Obaaderemi2:
You don't know much and you keep displaying your ignorance. US tax income in 2016 was $1.5trillion, in 2018 it was $1.7trillion. Which one is higher? You must think you are arguing with one of your illiterate brothers cheering you on here.

Like I told you, it's easier to fake poverty rate than to fake IGR. If the governor reports high IGR he has to explain how he spent it. So Oyo state declaring high igr is quite unquestionable. It shows the Oyo economy is more formal than the one in Anambra and bigger too. But then I can lie about poverty rate so that people would think I'm doing well as governor. Because how do you explain anambra state being behind Oyo state perpetually only for it to go higher in 4 years later? You need to ask your governors hard question instead of running to Yorubaland.

Obaaderemi2:
And yet the East is worse than the SW in terms of multidimensional poverty which even affect children more. According to the UN:

Despite the fact that you people make poverty index worse in the SW by swelling up the population. Your people are in their millions in SW. So it leads to more per capita poverty in the west.

The west is still a bastion of education in Nigeria. Most of the out of school children in the Sw are northerners. I see them here everyday in Ibadan and it infuriates me. Little hausa fulani children and their mothers begging on the street instead of being in school and they are very many here in the SW unlike in the East. You know all of you non- yoruba nigerians must always come to Yoruba land to make it. So you keep swelling up our population and sharing our resources with us. You pull down own stats and yet you are still basically behind in most things.

tctrills:

Let me keep showing the world your ignorance with data. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/05/us-tax-revenue-dropped-sharply-due-to-trump-tax-cuts-report.html
This is a CNBC report of the effects of Trumps tax cuts on US revenues. Please stop making out figures. You are not only ignorant, you are also dishonest.

The 2017 tax cuts dramatically alter the U.S. tax
landscape for the first time in decades, though the
promised surge in economic growth and investment
does not result.

Obaaderemi2:
I can't even see what you posted properly. In your haste you misquoted. But I'll still answer you. Lagos has always been the richest part of Nigeria even before ibos went there. It has always been positioned to be the richest part of West Africa, it has nothing to do with ibos. Hausa are more in the SW than in iboland. Do I need to tell you this? In fact there are more ibos in the north than northerners in iboland. So what are you saying? What do you contribute to our economy that the yorubas are not doing more? But when you swell up our population you stress our resources. Does anyone need to give you explanation on this? You don't pay taxes as your businesses are mostly unorganized. Same with the hausas.

In spite of all this, the East is worse unless you don't Know the meaning of multidimensional poverty index in which the East does more poorly than the West.Across the geo-political zones, the child MPI shows higher poverty in the North-East and North-West (where 90% of children are poor) and lower poverty in the South-East and South-West (74% and 65.1% respectively)

I do not claim to be educated. I'm definitely more knowledgeable than you. I've had to correct you severally, first on poverty rates in California and Texas, secondly on igr in the US.

You don't seem to be the kind of man who asks questions. Your posts are laced with undertones of the same disease that afflict your illiterate brothers here: competing with yorubas.

Obaaderemi2:
You shot yourself in the foot. You said earlier on that tax cuts in the US did not affect GDP. You said the SE having low igr still led to higher GDP. Low igr means the economy is not growing. You didn't read this part of your link:

Yes the tax cuts did not reduce the US GDP. It reduced IGR. Please get a real education. I never said the SE leads in GDP.
Oga the US economy grew the fastest in 40 years after the tax cuts. Please educate yourself with the issue before commenting.

I pity you. Let me advise you: don't let emotions get the better of you. Always relax and take it easy when you do things, even when you debate. You are brilliant but you don't Know much and you don't relax. Now, back to the matter. This is a list of US revenue over the years, can you kindly show me how the revenues went down between 2017 when Trump cut taxes and 2019? Instead of going down revenues were going up! You are not dishonest, you are seriously ignorant:

Here is the list of countries by Human development index. You would notice that it does not relate with IGR.
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/05/us-tax-revenue-dropped-sharply-due-to-trump-tax-cuts-report.html
The US with the highest IGR is about number 20 on the list. Does this teach you anything?
Nigeria is below Togo despite very high IGR.

Obaaderemi2:
That's not how to look at it. All those countries above USA have revenue as a percentage of their GDP higher than USA. Check Togo and Nigeria, revenue as a percentage of GDP is higher in Togo than in Nigeria same for Kenya, same for Ghana. So for their small populations their revenues are quite high.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratio

There's a link between a region's capacity to generate revenue and level of poverty. How can your government build infrastructure without revenue? Or spend on education or even pay debt? I'm surprised you don't Know that Nigeria's major problem apart from corruption and tribalism is REVENUE. Without revenue you can't plan for the coming generation. That's why multidimensional poverty is higher in the SE than in the SW. If I were you I'll be worried about the East with a MPI rate above 70%. That's scary prognosis. That's why I keep telling you that the East is worse off than the West but you keep blocking your mind.

The other guy Omoawoke2 tried to point this out to you but your friends were insulting him and yorubas instead of reading his posts with open minds. As at 2019/2021 the SE According to records was poorer than SW in terms of regular poverty rates.

The SW was/is also doing poorly. But then it has the largest combination of non-indigenes than any other region in Nigeria. Our resources are seriously stressed. So for NBS to put SE slightly, ever so slightly above the SW now(which I Know is temporary) is no cause for celebration among ibos.

IamAtikulate:
Here is Nigeria Bureau of Statistics latest poverty data for each zone.

South East: 49.5%

South West: 50.1%

South South: 75.6%

North East: 78.8%

North West: 92.8%

North Central: 96.2%

Percentage of poor people in Nigeria: 73.8%

Only South East and South West see below the national average.

Share your thoughts nicely

tctrills:

Oga you can look at it that way. Remember you claim GDP can't be correctly measured.
The US revenue to GDP is actually higher that many of the counties in the first 20 spot so again, you are wrong.
Actually we have what we call small government. Government does not have to do everything or spend so much. Especially in a corrupt system like Nigeria. Big IGR only favours the politicians.
Also, the non Yorubas actually make the SW economy bigger and more competitive. Or do you have any data to show that the indigenous people are stressing resources? Most of the non indigent are actively engaged in some economic activity. They increase value of rents, and land for the Yoruba. They provide market for your products. So which resources are being stressed?

tctrills:

So you know the rate so what's your argument. Poverty is measured as a rate and 24.9/% is a value. A value simply means a number assigned to a calculation or measurement

Omoawoke2:


This warehouse economist is still talking.

I gave up on you from when I realized you are not that intelligent. I eventually showed my little brother that your daft comment. He couldn’t believe how dull you are.

What a shame





I know you are so dull and haven’t figured out the nonsense you typed. I won’t expose your ignorance to you, I’d prefer you suffer wondering where you messed it up. Go school u no go gree. Tribalistic hegoat, stay on nairaland and be sniffing around insulting same southwest that are better than you and minding their business

tctrills:

I am just laughing.
When they have nothing to say the insults begin to fly.
I have dealt in fact but you deal in friction and tribalism and name calling.
Your argument is quite stupid. You insist that IGR figures are more important that poverty figures.
