Godfullsam:In sw shithole you can see a professor doing taxi driver. Many SW shitholes can not boast of 4 or 5 story buildings by individual. A place majority are transport union workers from ilorin,Oshogo,ibadan ekiti etc.The majority of rich ones have fled to lagos because of fear of being killed with juju.You women are all over SE,SS selling herbal medicines and plastics Your ugly and smelly girls selling moi moi.My eye no fit talk watin I see in all those shitholes. The igbos you see in those shitholes don't have enough capital to compete in many SE states.Mention on igbo billionaire leaving in any of those shitholes beside lagos. A place majority survive from salaries as civil servants 4 Likes |

Putinofrussia:Google about ogidi international building materials Market and stop exposing your ignorant. SE has the biggest building materials Market in West Africa, not just Nigeria. They have the highest number of building especially multi story building in their cities like Aba, onitsha, Enugu, Owerri etc. Their villages are the most developed. They top in Human development index. Your SW is nothing but a brown roof mud house slum littered everywhere. Even, your lagos you used to brag is a slum. Only the island part is developed. The mainland is a big slum. 7 Likes |

Streetinvestor2:is like you have lived there before. ![]() They love transport unions work so much which they use to extort drivers and engers. They are agbero in disguise. It is agbero work. You can see the same in Lagos. The likes of Mc oluomo, kunle poly etc . 3 Likes |

GeneralPula: If not stupidity, you would have known that an average Igbo in Lagos state is well to do. Infact Lagos state is where igbos have the highest number of their wealthiest individuals in Nigeria. So instead of what you said, the truth is the other way round. It was the wealthy Igbos that were counted in Lagos and other south western states that made you people to even come third. Minus the countered igbos and you might be dragging position with north west. 5 Likes |

caleboxylic:Olodo. Everybody knows the steel village near air force market.Yoruba are the ones who dominate iron rod and steel market there too. They don't sell much of iron rods but steel pipes. I am not even talking about only steel which clearly is dominated by Yorubas but building materials which steel is a part of. |

stanluiz:I have been to all SW shitholes. It was only akure that had small positive news.You see all of them beside lagos is not for someone aspiring to be a multi millionaire or billionaire. They cannot give you something that is not thr .The whole of ife East and South is filled with abandoned one storey mud houses.Ilorin is all about the university. Ofa is all about the poly. The same in the remaining. If you are inspiring to be native/witch doctor you have no better place.The old,young and children will give free of charge 2 Likes |

Prosperchuks1344:who want one Nigeria? Why your stupid ojukwu nor face northerners wey kill him people? Why was he heading to Lagos ? Why did Azikiwe reject secession clause? Who wants to share country with you animals that only know how to commit crime where ever you go. Other Africans are always insulting Nigerians on Twitter calling us drug dealers and pimps courtesy of your useless criminal minded brothers. Learn to stay in your cursed igboland and stop exporting criminality everywhere. |

Prosperchuks1344:Olodo.Illiterate trader. You don't even understand what building materials are. Where do they sell iron rods,woods etc in Odunade? Odunade is dominated by Igbos. Odunade deals mostly in toiletries,water engines etc and most of them buy from Doyin group of companies who import them whose coy is on the other side opposite the taxi park,Coker express.. Even in your SE,Yoruba dominate building materials market.They are the importers and producers (together with the Chinese) in Nigeria.

stanluiz:lol Even Ibadan city only has more modern buildings than the entire Igboland and it is more developed than the entire SE Igboland infrastructurally.Ibadan city only has more than 12 GRAs while the whole SE cannot boast of eight. If you doubt me or you have never left your village,let us post videos to compete between only Ibadan and the 5 SE states if you have the balls. |

I will accept all what you have said if you can post 9 good places in the entire Igboland. I will post 30 good places in Ibadan that will shame whatever you post.. Post if you have the balls which I know you don't have because of shame. Ibadan city will always be more developed than Igboland. Take action,don't just talk like a coward. Post your Eldorado and shame me ![]() |

Bestmanfornow: Clearly you don't understand mathematics, if you do you will realise that percentage in this analysis is percentage relative to the total population of Nigeria. SE have the lowest population in Nigeria, so it is not surprising that it also have the lowest population of people living in abject poverty Here’s the population distribution of Nigeria's six regions as percentages: | Region | Population (millions) | Percentage (%) | |------------------|-----------------------|----------------| | North-West | 48.9 | 25.9% | | South-West | 38.5 | 20.4% | | North-Central | 29.2 | 15.5% | | South-South | 28.8 | 15.2% | | North-East | 26.2 | 13.9% | | South-East | 21.9 | 11.6% | Now if you want a true picture of the poverty rate in each region..you will take the total population figure from this table, divide it by the percentage in thae statisense post to arive at actual population of people living in poverty You will then divide the poverty population for each region by the total population of each region, that is what will give you the true rate. That shouldn't be a difficult calculation for you. |

loffyloffy: If you do that you will probably come up with this true rate Here’s a summary of poverty rates across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones based on available data: | Region | Poverty Rate (%) | |------------------|------------------| | North-West | 76.8% | | North-East | 70.2% | | North-Central | 42.6% | | South-East | 27.4% | | South-South | 25.2% | | South-West | 19.3% | The North-West has the highest poverty rate, while the South-West has the lowest. |
phantom(m): 12:49am On Apr 18 |
loffyloffy: South East= 1.53/100 ×22,000,000 = 336,600 South West = 3.81/100 × 48,900,000= 1,855,470 48.9÷ 21.9= 2.23 So multiplying the poor in the South East by 2.23 to equate with the population in the south west = 336,600 × 2.23= 750,618 So if the SE and SW had the same population of 48.9 million, The south east would have 750,618 poor people The south west would have 1,855,470 poor people.... 2 and 1/2 times that of the SE. Make una rest... you can't match the SE.. 5 Likes |
