liberty300: I have been saying this. How can a population claiming to be poor be buying rolex watches, drinking more of champagne and driving d most expensive cars and private jets in Africa?and what is the percentage of those doing the above listed things? |

Go to the following areas in lagos alone, then come back here and tell me if world bank's stat are right 1. Makoko 2. The interior of okokomaiko 3. Epe 4. Bariga 5. Amukoko etc You will shed tears for men like you, eating doesn't mean you are ok, eating what you want, when you want means you ok. You see people stealing billions, tell me what will be left for the masses, what is the ratio of employed people to unemployed people, some of us call petty trading employment, are these traders too not entitled to life, luxury and fun ? |

>>>Only a third of Nigeria is POOR..... MORE in the NORTH..... >>> would suggest that the unemployment rate in Nigeria is less than 10 per cent compared to the 25 percent figure by the NBS. >>>"This masks the critical problem in Nigeria of underemployment. Most Nigerians cannot afford not to work, but a large share of the population is engaged in low productivity and low paying tasks." With the above extracts, it means there is hope in Nigeria...these facts seems to be true, but are Nigerians not groaning? Are we really happy? Its not that we wouldn't have been contented with our little and work our growth from there, but the agony, pain and fangs that usually accompany our views with ill-gotten wealth being displayed flagrantly and the wealthy being worshipped is discouraging to those who are hardworking and also pile the pressure to want to belong to the rich group. A seeming display of affluence creates so much ripples in our society today. |

World Bank and their Mischievous Statistics;Trying to paint the North black. Is not the same North that has been feeding the Nation since time immemorial?  Well I'm not in the best position to counter their dubious claim until I hear from National Bereau of Statistics; though the populace can do the debate on this very ascertion. Patiently waiting for Liar Mohammed take on this World/Hired PR led Government  |

MadCow1:thank you, thats the main problem. We tend to put some other things above basic needs, believe me an average nigerian cannot stand d ash economy of somalia, mali, niger, them go run come back, come dey tell their peeps say wen i was abroad things were different, sometimes the people we even call poor in naija spend way above the 10 dollars per day, for food and transport |

[size=13pt]I dont know their defination of poverty, but life in the north is another level of poor. Which is UN Nigerian. Our definitiin of poverty is comparing our comfort to our potential; Are we seeing the benefits of the Nations wealth?? The answer is NO, it has always been this way. And we wont settle for less anymore, we deserve to enjoy as Nigerians. Cant compare us to chad, we are worth more. Poor rich nation i guess[/size] |

uzolexis: Fellow Nigerians what should we do about Northern NigeriaThose guys up north need emancipation from mental slavery. I mean, they need WESTERN EDUCATION not even Islamic education. An average northerner needs a mind of his/her own, that would mark the beginning of their liberation from poverty. 1 Like |

BrAkingNews: world bank throwing garbages since 1900. So tell me, what do they know about Nigeria? As for me, about 2/3 Nigerians are poor.Hhahhahahahha, come take a hug sweetie, sexy steel would av been a BARBER I think. And Iyanya would av been a FITNESS TRAINER. Pokolee (Tonto dike) would av been a skin therapist (whitenicious tinx). As for this statistics, the only reason why it seems so iss bc the average Nigerian is a hustler. They would def find a way to eat and clothe, coupled with the fact that there is 'financial intermediation' in the system . People that have enough and are willing to give always find a way to give back to the needy. In the absense of that, there is poverty in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Notwithstanding d fact that figures lyk this show up frm time to time making it look lyk we're nt in so much poverty, we shld nt forget that these things are statistics. We all knw wat is on ground. We are still in need of better health care, better education, easier business policies, better power, etc. These things make life mre meaningful, nt just d amnt of money a person cn spend in a day |

manosteel: If only the FG will fix this bokoharam thing and Power, I tell you Nigeria is a huge market for foreign investors, and there will always be jobs for graduates and skill workers. Osanobua. Please let me mention these economies: Japan Korea Malaysia Germany Which of them had their economy grown by foreign investment? Most of those countries operate a D.B.O.T TOS ( I know for a fact, even almighty GE had to sign one for their manufacturing plants in Singapore/Malaysia), so that in 25 years, an indigene buys you out, pays government his taxes and staffs at least 70% of the company with other indigenes. Engineers are fighting for contract jobs of about N150,000 monthly with Arup, paying to FG workers in Abuja to enter Ministry of Works and calling everyone in existence to work for Chevron, KPMG, ELF or Mobil, yet CCECC is constructing up and down. CCECC isn't hiring Nigerians, JB will be okay with you, Schlumberger is your best bet. CCECC who is doing the most construction, will rather fly in technicians from China than hire a Nigerian and he will be told to not train the Nigerian guy under him, so when he gets tired of the work, another Chinese guy takes over. Innoson motors needs money and backing so they can hire foreign technical staff who will train their Nigerian counterparts (that is how he started with Innoson motorcycles, by sending his boys over to Asia to be trained in how to reassemble bikes) yet FG would rather chase Nissan and Toyota who will tell Mech. Engrs that they are "overqualified" for the job with no experience and pay them for the lower job, and fly their own guys in. I know a Dutch girl, who when she told me her job, I was baffled. Any graduate of Convenant Uni could do her job in Nigeria, yet she's paid millions. Same with my friend in Abuja, he does the work, his white boss earns the millions, same with my bro-in-law and the telecoms firm he works for, his colleague from SA is earning 4 times more than he is. Heck, remember when we used to pay millions to foreign artistes to perform for an hour, at least we have taken that from them and our music industry has grown because we are now controlling it and the foreign companies are wising up to that fact and approaching Nigerian music producers (at least I know Don Jazzy). Support Nigerian-grown, Nigerian-made. If I buy from Ravda, Mike, Li, the money goes to them. If I buy (without una cheating and if una can ask Jesus to correct ya brain and sell me quality, not cheap chinese inferior goods) from Haruna, Emeka or Tunde, our economy will grow faster. 4 Likes |
