Numbers II Ponder: 23.1% unemployment and 18 dead
23.1% was Nigerian’s unemployment rate prior to the pandemic and EndSARS. Now with over a trillion in damages, and an uncertain 2021, we question how we got here. And according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), this could have been avoided.

Numbers 2 Ponder: 27.4%, 6000, ₦16.6m, ₦94.3tn, ₦12.66tn
On Today’s numbers to ponder, we review unremitted funds, the aftermath of the novel virus and aggregate expenditures.
Numbers 2 Ponder: 48%, ₦212bn, ₦2.67bn, ₦50m, ₦90.5b
Today’s Numbers 2 Ponder features an unyielding sector draining the nation’s account, mind-numbing statistics on birth registration; present on the list are also court fines, loots and one rebuttal.
Numbers 2 Ponder: ₦6.5tn unaccounted for, 5 gender issues
For today’s Numbers 2 Ponder, we review fiscal discrepancies, gender inequality and the “Covidness” of it all. Despite many criticising MDAs for fund mismanagement, the government remains aloof, ignoring recommendations from the Auditor-General. And to date, these parastatals bled ₦6.5 trillion from Nigeria. On the note of discrepancies, former registrar for NECO, Abubakar Ghana rebuffed allegations of siphoning over ₦360 million.
Food prices in Nigeria have shot through the roof. But is the pandemic to blame?
COVID-19 has had a dire effect on global economies. Rising infection rates led to social distancing directives, persistent lockdowns, business closures, travel restraints, salary cuts, and a looming high unemployment situation. As a result, economic activity shrunk dramatically, and with it the food supply value chain globally.
