BREAKING:
“The NBS is lying with statistics."
I told you that the new guys at the NBS are lying, & I was right! They are falsifying data. Dr. Reuben Abati has corroborated my position.
Dr. Yemi Kale was the last Statistician General of Nigeria that told Nigerians the truth. He told us that he was under pressure for 10 years (to compromise the statistics his NBS published).
However, the new boss at the NBS could not resist the pressure from the APC. He politicized your unemployment data. He simply devalued your unemployment rate from 33% to 4.6%.
Yemi Kale told Arise TV back then, that he was pressured to change the parameters for calculating Unemployment numbers.
But he was uncompromising; he stood firm.
Reducing the number of working hours creates a false narrative, & paints the picture that everything is good (when the opposite is the case). The day Yemi left the
@NBS_Nigeria
, was the day I knew that data in Nigeria is dead.
Celebrating the 3.46% GDP Growth for a population of 220 million is shameful. The new guys at the NBS are poised to "rebase" your GDP (to suit a certain type of narrative).
Their Inflation data is equally false.
Current Inflation in Nigeria is over 60%.
Any data coming from the new NBS should be taken as data from the APC. Like INEC & the Judiciary, the NBS wasn’t spared from the ongoing State Capture. Data Integrity is a thing in Western countries. You don’t tamper with data. Data is life, the next thing after God.
On Yemi Kale’s watch? Data Integrity was sacrosanct. Recall that as the then Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige was visibly angry with the Unemployment Numbers published by the uncompromising Yemi Kale. Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan did not interfere as well.
Despite all of the pressure from the APC, Yemi stood his ground. But Bola Tinubu is notorious for corrupting institutions. A man who told you “abi na statistics we go chop?” has no regard for Data Integrity. He found favor in the new man at the NBS (who has corn in his pocket).
Check his closet, I’m sure you will find that very stupid & funny-looking Fascist’s Mandate Cap.
He threw professionalism in the gutter. And when you hear him speak? You almost feel sorry for any investor who will rely on his data for their investment decisions. No Foreign Investor will trust the data coming from a compromised Institution of the government.
For your own sake, I will advise you think twice before you apply the new data coming from the current NBS. When in doubt, ask questions.
