Nigeria Is Deeply Divided - UN Report by timosky1(m): 6:31am On Sep 05, 2016 |
The UN has described Nigeria as a “divided society on the basis of the plurality of ethnic, religious and regional identities that had tended to define the country’s political existence.” This was made known to the public during a consultative meeting on the formulation of the UN Development Assistance Framework IV (UNDAF IV) for the South-East geo-political zone in Awka. The report noted that for decades, different segments of Nigeria’s population had, at different times, expressed feelings of marginalisation, of being short-changed, dominated, oppressed, threatened, or even targeted for elimination. The report also painted a gloomy picture for the country as most of the development and social indices in Nigeria recorded much below acceptable standards. It noted that the major challenges facing Nigeria were constraints of economic growth and social development and lack of good governance. ![]() Part of the report read: “Nigeria is one of the poorest and most unequal countries in the world, with over 80 million or 64 per cent of her population living below poverty line. “Poverty and hunger have remained high in rural areas, remote communities and among female-headed households and these cut across the six geo-political zones, with prevalence ranging from approximately 46.9 per cent in the South-west to 74.3 per cent in North-west and North-east. “Nigeria’s economy is currently in a recession and it is estimated that government revenues have fallen by as much as 33 per cent, which has further resulted in the contraction of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 0.36 per cent in the first three months of 2016. “The vulnerable macroeconomic environment in Nigeria is affecting investors’ confidence in the domestic economy.” The report also revealed widespread cases of violence against women and girls, including physical and sexual assault, even as it noted that 42 per cent of Nigerian youths were unemployed. “Nigeria faces humanitarian and emergency crises of considerable proportions fueled by a combination of factors including climate change, inter-communal conflicts and violence, insurgency, recurring floods, heavy handed tactics of security forces in combating crime and insurgency. “The overall consequence is the situation of systematic and chronic internal displacement that has given rise to different humanitarian crises that include the most egregious and dehumanising human rights abuses,” the report stated. The report however noted that transforming and diversifying Nigeria’s development paths needed a radical and new approach. It recommended investing in people and in a strong more dynamic and inclusive productive informal sector. Last week, the UN regional humanitarian coordinator, Toby Lanzer rated the growing humanitarian crisis in Borno as being at level with that of war-torn regions across the world. Lanzer gave the sad rating during a visit to Bama, the largest Borno town to come under the siege of the Islamist militant sect, Boko Haram. “Having worked in Darfur, Chechnya, and South Sudan, this is about as bad as it gets,” Lanzer was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund has warned that if timely aid is not availed, 49,000 children will lose their lives in Nigeria’s North-east region.

We can't deceive the West, they have spies everywhere. Our evil cultural practices, fanatism, and confused democracy has not done anything to stop rape and other sexual violence against girls and women. False reporting of actual situation in the North due to propaganda is not helping anyone. It seems Sub-Saharan Africa is under a curse 119 Likes 10 Shares |

Nigeria will soon divide. No man can stop, I said it when Buhari is elected as president that Nigeria is doomed, some of you started giving me names, but today how true is my word? Nigeria will never progress and those shouting one Nigeria are the most selfish people of all time, the only solution for peace and progress is disintegration. 168 Likes 13 Shares |

vani86: Did Boko haram blow up pipelines? Boko haram faced the north and even now they are powerless GEJ's mercenaries blew pipelines that affected whole of Nigeria and it's economy , in my book, Boko haram deserves amnesty as long as they surrender andi believe they are lesser of two evils, Boko haram did not launch arewa secession, they didn't call for a country, they didn't sabotage the economy but most of all , they are not encouraged with new hilux , prompt payments of suicide fees which was Dasuki's main job under GEJ's watch [size=18pt] Fuccckers quoting me , idgaf Boko haram may have scared investors or declared caliphate, they didn't reduce Nigerias oil supply and didn't destroy economy And the Fuccckers telling me human life is worth more than oil People fuccking die every day And now Boko haram is not killing people but avengers are, inflation and poor economy has killed Nigerians in thousands [/size] 8 Likes |

GMBuhari: By your logic, a faction that kills at random, behead women and children at random just because "western education is a sin" to them is better than a faction that is fighting a clear injustice against them, a group of people whose homes are destroyed as well as livelihood now protest the only way they know how, they dont kill at random, but attack just d federal might to show they should indeed have a say in their land.. Very well then, i now know where to class you based on your reasoning 121 Likes 11 Shares |
