The Country Director of ActionAid Nigeria, Hussaini Abdu, noted that the conclusions of the poll are “too simplistic, as it did not consider the multi-dimensional approach to the definition of poverty. ” “The conclusions of the poll trivialized the true situation of poverty in the country and reduced it to responses from very few Nigerians with certain levels of privileges,” the group said. “The methodology of the poll is flawed and the report is misleading, especially to policy makers.http://premiumtimesng.com/news/national/135463-80-of-nigerians-not-living-above-one-dollar-a-day-poverty-threshold-says-actionaid.html do you think he is saying the truth ? http://hotnaijagists..co.uk/2013/05/action-aid-nigeria-claims-that-80-of.html 1 Like |

They can use the one dollar benchmark any other place in the world, but when it comes to Nigeria, the only veritable statistical tool to know the poverty rate and purchasing power of Nigerians is by this very simple questionnaire: CAN YOU BUY ONE CUP OF GARRI EVERYDAY? Yes= RICH CAN YOU BUY ONE CUP OF GARRI EVERYDAY? No= POOR 3 Likes |

I never understood the point of these surveys. If you work your own land, what do you need money for? Do cows, goats, yams, chickens, and camels count as money on these studies? These fools would look at a family with a large farm, 1000 cattle, 200 camels, and 5000 goats and record them as being poor, just because they don't use currency. 5 Likes |

The lowest cost of a recharge card in Nigeria is N100. And only 20% of the acclaimed 80% will buy a minimum of a N100 recharge per day. I assure u, the remaining buy an average of N200 per day! And they will still eat per day! We all knw their survey is an epitome of foolishness! 3 Likes |

bloodless: Let me repeat the question I have always asked people who believed this $1 crap. Is there any member of your nuclear or extended family who live on less than $1 dollar per day?' The answer I always get is 'no, but there are some Nigerians...bla bla bla...' who are those 'some Nigerians' that have no nuclear or extended family? Even an average unemployed graduate fixes weavon (if a lady). NOBODY live on less than a dollar per day in Nigeria TODAY. If we are talking about people sending their children to better schools or using napkin for their children instead of using pampers,then I will listen. 2 Likes |

A vast majority of the guys at the helm of these things haven't stepped foot on Nigeria. 80% of Nigerians can't get N163 per day? The poll interviewed selected adults who own mobile phones and did not profile respondents in other ways, such as occupation, gender, age and specific locations. This how they collect the data? 1 Like |

How can u live on $1 per day when a derica of beans alone is N200, derica of garri N100, derica of rice N180. Everything is xpensive. The only way u can do that is perhaps eating only biscuit and pure water. As much as I complain of being broke, I spend nothing less than N600 pre day, not to add recharge card o. 7 Likes |

This is silly....these so called statistics conflict with eachother. Every week it is somehing different. This week 80% of Nigerians live on less than a dollar a day.....does this include the so called 77% of Nigerians they say are bleaching their skin? How about the millions who own and recharge a mobile phone? These people are laughable with their claims........lol 2 Likes |
