Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria (36037 Views)
(1) Go Down)

Most of the poorest states are concentrated in the northern region. Nigeria has vast natural resources and potential for growth but it continues to grapple with high poverty rates, particularly in certain regions.Source: https://www.pulse.ng/articles/lifestyle/poorest-state-in-nigeria-2025050209332442160 11 Likes 1 Share |

Ebonyi is actually poor. But I have two questions. 1. What percentage of poverty alleviation funds or programmes by the federal government gets to Ebonyi State? 2. What is the Common Entrance Examination cut-off mark for Ebonyi State? Do the comparisons if you still doubt the glaring tribalism and marginalisation that the East faces in Nigeria. Meanwhile, those who use Monday sit-at-home order to mock the East are disappointed here as Enugu, Anambra, Abia and Imo are not on the list. They even published that the sit-at-home order has crippled the economy of the East. Cruzmaster:Be realistic. Ebonyi is a very young State. Ebonyi, Enugu and Anambra were together as one State. During that period, development was focused more on Enugu as the state capital. This also explains why Enugu is more developed than Anambra despite the fact that Anambra has richer people. Enugu and Ebonyi were later carved out to coexist as one State and they remained together as such for some years before Ebonyi was carved out of Enugu. 149 Likes 13 Shares |

The problem is how to identify those who are truly poor. There are people in Nigeria who are classified as poor, that is, living on less than a dollar daily. But some of these people may have much more money at their disposal. Ordinarily you'd classify beggars as poor, but believe me many of them aren't poor at all, they're just preying on other people's generosity. A man recently narrated how he'd been giving a certain beggar 2k on Fridays, but later discovered that the beggar owns three keke that he's hiring out. The method they are using in assessing the poverty level is misleading and wrong.

Terrible statistics... For years of power consolidation in the north, one will expect the opposite. They clamor for power yet don't lift a finger to better there region. I just imagine a Southeasterner been president for just 2 term, the reform and transformation in the southeast will be unbelievable 51 Likes 6 Shares |

Ha Despite having the highest number of heads of states/presidents the region remains the poorest. There’s a reason they don’t want them to be literates. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

And yet the state governors are wealthy.... We need to learn how to hold these state thieves responsible for alot of these things.... Unless their states don't get federal allocation.... If your state gets federal allocation monthly... There is no reason for your state to be like this... 3 Likes |

Release the list of top 10 under performing governors instead because brainless governors made these people or states poor. Let's highlight the underperformers for people to be educated about what their problems really are rather than pitch one tribe against another or one state against another. We can have: List of top 10 most corrupt governors List of top 50 under performing lawmakers List of top 10 misfits amongst the ministers List of senators who proposed zero bills in 4 years List of 50 most under performing government agencies 13 Likes 5 Shares |

A STATE CAN BE RICH BUT FILLED WITH POOR People. STATE THAT TASK ITS CITIZENS STATE THAT UNDERPAYS WORKERS STATE THAT ENRICHES ITS POLITICIANS A POOR STATE CAN PRODUCE RICH PEOPLE BUT A RICH STATE MOSTIMES PROMOTES OPPRESSION AND POOR PEOPLE. IF YOU CHECK WELL U WILL DISCOVER THIS STATE LISTED ABOVE HAVE CHEAP SERVICES AND GOODS. ACCOMODATION IS CHEAP TRANSPORTATION AFFORDABLE FOOD IS VERY CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE COMPARED TO LAGOS, ABUJA, PORTHARCOUT, DELTA AND OTHERS WHERE FOOD PRICES ARE HIGH, TRANSPORTATION EXPENSIVE AND HOUSES UNAFFORDABLE. SALARY MAY BE HIGH BUT JUST HOUSE RENT ALONE SWALLOWS ALL YOUR 6 MONTHS SALARY. YOU WORK AND DON'T EVEN HAVE EVIDENCE OF SAVINGS ..JUST WORKING FROM HAND TO MOUTH. LIKE I SAID Earlier , A STATE MAY BE RICH BUT THE POVERTY LEVEL MAY BE HIGH.. PEOPLE LIVING BELOW STANDARD SUFFERING TO EXIST 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Please re-caption these caption. These states are not poor, the wealth is held by a few people. In Taraba state theophilus Danjuma is worth over 2 billion dollars, In Sokoto state Ahmed Dasuki is worth over 1 billion dollars. In Adamawa state Atiku and Indimi are worth atleast 8 billion dollars In Ebonyi we have High Chief Ifeanyi Odii In Zamfara Gen. Aliyu Gusau has over a billion dollars In Kebbi Shehu Malami is worth a billion dollars The wealth is concentrated by a few people. Its the governments responsibility to enforce that the wealth is spread.Since Lagos has a high GDP.The government should set up cooperatives boards in these places. Buy animals from local families, goats and cows, chickens, farm harvest and then arrange for them to be transported to Lagos. These will help the small mom and pop families that raise animals and farm as a means of livelihood.Nigerians are not lazy,If you present a market.They will go to the farm. The bourgeoisie in these states do not care about the indigents, they are using their wealth to enslave them and guarantee servitude. (Ranka shi dade syndrome).....Rankowa ya dade !!!! Nigerian government have not yet figured out how to get money to the grassroots. The wealth of a whole state is sometimes hijacked by 2-3 people in that whole state. The governor, his Godfather and a few other power-brokers. 20 Likes 5 Shares |
