The indices used as yardstick is flawed. The number and percentage is higher than the above tabulated.

Using layman's analysis, what's the ratio of the rich to the poor in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, we have there are two classes of people; the extreme rich and the very poor based on the level of personal income.

There are so many indices used in measuring standard of living, some indices perform better than others but in the end, none is sacrosanct.

If we use annual income, access to health and other basic necessities of life and sum up every every using the dollar as purchasing power parity, then you'll realise that more than 80% of Nigerians are living in penury both urban and rural dwellers.

I know some of them here on nairaland

Buhari and APC don finish us for this country, una dey look dem

Oh I forgot Buhari has been ruling Nigeria since 2010. I thought one drunkard with questionable phd also known as Jona-daft was president from 2010 to 2015.
Hey, what do I know.

with the view of poverty rate frm my own perspective i think it should b around 140million people are living in poverty

Normal Poverty is around 85 million

Comfortable ones are 10 millions

Rich ones 5 Million

Stinkingly wealthy 25, 000

You know

I believe dat number is incorrect, am very sure e reach 160million

Saao:
Not surprised. The present government emphasize more on her citizens been poor than the citizens prosperity. Until their is deliberate policy to turn lthe tides, poverty rate will get to 100m

Blame blame blame......... the criminals packing the Nigerian people's money abroad will still blame the government, the ones hiding the money inside suckaway tank will blame the government, the ones doing fake road contracts to further destroy our road will blame the
government, the ones scamming their sheeple will come and blame the government,
even those that have been shouting "it it your money"? will be blaming government.
Funny how same people sabotaging the government will still be complaining of bad government.......

It's more than that

yeah, every blames goes to them because we empowered them to checkmate those excesses you itemized but unfortunately they failed woefully rather they prefer to loot and nepotised instead.

What is the basis?

We shall lift 5 million Nigeria out of poverty yearly, we shall create 30 million job in our first term. Electricity is not a rocket science, in 6 months we shall give everybody electricity, Dollar will be equal to one naira, petrol is will be 50 naira. We shall deliver dont worry

Hun

That figure is wrong...far more than that

We can't keep doing the wrong things and expect something good, it's not magic, even the Bible said what so ever a man sow so shall he reap....
No matter who is in that position will still fail because Nigerians/black man with their mentality are so wicked.
When we start reasoning without sentiments and hatred in our heart, Nigeria will be great

Mehn, I couldn't stop laughing on reading this - please send this analysis to NBS as a response to their publication. Your analysis vividly captured the current poverty distribution in Nigeria but our leaders and politicians will continue to live in self denial about the enormity of poverty in this country.

Na big time lie..liars.. Over 100 million are living in poverty..

All Fingers Aint Equal

Davash222:

Until Nigerians like you acquire some commonsense, things will continue to look bleak!

The people who "finish u for the country" are the parents who despite knowing they are surrounded by poverty and lack of resources...CONTINUE TO PRODUCE CHILDREN THEY AND THE COMMUNITY CANNOT FEED AND CATER FOR!

EVERY UNPLANNED CHILD OR FAMILY ADDS TO THE POVERTY STATISTICS!

IF YOU WANT TO END POVERTY START FROM PARENTS AND FAMILIES!

Not just knowing the figures. They should do something about it.

Sunshineg5:
I think the poverty rate in most urban areas are often underestimated, while the poverty rate in rural areas are often overestimated in Nigeria.


This is a result of the definition of poverty which places emphasis on living below a certain amount of money daily


However, the fact that the cost of living in most Nigerian cities are almost 100% higher than most rural areas in Nigeria is often neglected.

Spot on

E pass ooo.

Lai Mohammed and Garba Shehu will move swiftly to Debunk this..APC is no doubt a carnival of greedy idiots. Now they are relaxing Lockdown because they don't want to pay palliative.....Nijaloan is the next big thing... Check my signature and signup now
