Welcome. Took you long enough to attempt to string this weak ass rebuttal.

I posted about five to six links for you up there. One of them mentioned the 439 million figure.

Let's do a quick addition: the screenshot you posted says in the last 40 years, China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty. That means they started their
[url=https://www.google.com/search?q=China%27s+poverty+reduction+strategy+since+1978&oq=china&aqs=chrome.1.69i59l2j46i433i512j0i3i512j69i60.2467j0j4&client=ms-android-samsung-gj-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8]reduction of poverty strategy[/url] around 1978.

It is a cumulative effect, happening in phases.

Obviously, the [url=https://www.unicef.cn/en/press-releases/united-nations-hails-china-progress-towards-mdgs-final-report#:~:text=Highlights%20of%20China's%20progress%20in,population%20without%20sustainable%20access%20to]439 million people[/url] being lifted out of poverty is a milestone mark for 15 years (1990-2011), out of the total 40 years (1978 - 'til date). The 439 figure was VALID as at 2011 (but generally reported in 2016).

And from 2013 to 2016, another 40 million people were lifted.

As at 2019 to 2021, it has increased to a hundred million people.

There are many more of these significant figures and hits for previous years undecided.

Add all the numbers I've mentioned here together: 439 + 100 + 40 (from 1990 - 2022) and you have 579 million people. And this thing has been in effect since 1978, so there you have the rest of the figures that round it up to 800 million people.

So brother, kayperry, in your deep wealth of knowledge, you do not think that for 800 million people to be lifted out of poverty, you go fess lift pass 400 million people? Abi you no go reach 400 before 800?

And before I forget, your initial claim was that: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ONE MAN TO LIFT 40% OF A POPULATION OUT OF POVERTY.

So, let me get this, do you now believe that China has been able to do that or not?



Between 1990 and 2011 china witness four president to pull 439million ...

Yeah! its M.I for one man .. considering the numbers of president china had between 1999 and 2011 what is Peter Obi getting at ??

Look at this fool, when Igbo have been calling Tinubu peepee pupeee thief n all sort. You de mad for this senseless comment.

Sunnyja:
Calling someone "foolish bastard" because of politics is to going to the extreme. Same thing you all did to GEJ because you wanted Buhari on seat by fire by force, today how far. You and your likes have lost their voices you were all using in shouting "Sai baba and APC change in 2014!

You no get talk again.

The "one man" you're inserting into this must be the dagbana wey you dey smoke for garage at play. grin grin

Obi said, and I paraphrase, "China was able to pull 439 million people out of poverty (with the aid of the MDGs).

What's M.I for one man? Who is talking about hip hop abi rap with you?

What Obi was getting at is how the MDGs are a perfect blueprint for (national) development.

Oh, and do you now agree that he was right with the figures and China has successfully been able to do something like that, as opposed to you claiming it was impossible before? Do you? tongue

candidtalk:


Mumu. Does Obi lie compulsively or not? Simple yes or no? The man is a pathological liar and coward. We are only having this conversation because you clannish Igbos are so excited about the thought of an IPOB President you are not even scrutinising the character of Obi.

He is the worst Igbo option possible. Kalu, Umahi, Okorocha,Nnamani and so many others are better than him. Even Kanu is better. He may be a terrorist but he still has more balls than coward Obi.

Yet it is a measure of the clannish nature of Igbos that you have all now turned defender and apologists for Obi's fart. He cannot be President. Support Tinububso your life can be better. cool

Oga you are fighting a losing battle. Just shut the hell up. All this beautiful nonsense is just your envy brewing up nothing more. There are ways to kill yourself. Drink Cement water it is faster.

1.He suggested using the millenium development goals...which ultimately is more of a UN thing than a China thing

2.Something that China does that we should do is start manufacturing...small, then big. Oil money, even if our leaders were as honest as the angels, won't be enough for all of us.

Don't you see the video of him saying it?

Or are you deaf and blind?

You think you are not blind and deaf but it's obvious you've never heard of something called deepfake.

But that apart, a sign of being a conscious and mature adult is the ability to think before believing whatever you see or hear.

There are certain statements you hear, and your first thought should be "is that even possible?" and not jumping into conclusion immediately like a dumbass_

I just found out that the video was doctored, but I actually found it very funny.

If you listen carefully, the video was paused and played where he said "was able to pull 439 million out of poverty" he didn't say, I was able to pull. He said China was able to pull.. But una cut the China part and started with "was able to pull"
