While in comparison:

The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in 2004.

Poor serial liar. You just had to pull out a 2010 statistics out of desperation



World Bank Cuts Nigeria's Poverty Rate to 33.1%, Says North is Poorer

Quote:

22 Jul 2014


*Predicts 7.4% growth in 2014
James Emejo

The World Bank Tuesday said there had been positive economic trend as well as significant progress made towards poverty eradication in the country.

It said in its second edition of the Nigeria Economic Report (NER) which was launched in Abuja that going by the recent rebasing of the economy as well as analysis from the new General Household Surveys (GHS) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with the support of the Bank, new poverty estimates in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 should be within the range of 35.2 per cent and 33.1 per cent respectively.



It stated that an analysis of a panel survey data (GHS) of 5000 households for 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 provided "evidence that consumption is likely higher than previously estimated from the HNLSS survey."


Furthermore, the new GHS analysis put rural poverty at 46.3 per cent and 44.9 per cent in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 respectively compared to 69.1 per cent and 51.2 per cent respectively in the HNLSS 2009/2010 estimates by the NBS.

The World Bank estimates further suggested that the number of poor Nigerians remained at 58 million adding that more than half of the figure are located in the North- east or North- west.

Specifically, it noted:" Poverty rates range from 16 per cent in the South- West to 52 per cent in the North-East. While the South and North central experienced declines in the poverty rate between 2010/2011 and 2012/2013, the poverty rate increased almost unchanged in the North West."

The most discipline army in Africa?

Where it is well known that large numbers of men support BH?

Where human rights abuses are well catalogued

Where men mutiny?

Desert?

Refuse to return to the front?

Where corruption in your military is rife?

In the huge military operation in the north east, where Boko Haram operates, which has been in place since a state of emergency was imposed in 2013, there are complaints by army members. These soldiers have often claimed that their budgeted allowance for dangerous field duties are shaved off by commanders, leaving them with less than 50% in some cases.

After protests by some aggrieved soldiers in Maiduguri, the army spokesman attributed their complaints to the absence of a commander who was away on training. The soldiers were dismissed as mutinous, and handed to a military court. Yet, the reality is that troops endure horrific conditions – they often lack tents or sleeping bags, many must scavenge for firewood to cook and they live a destitute life – hardly the motivation or replenishment required to fight a violent and constant aggressor.

Your military is a indiciplined-rabble!

Old irrelevant story, forgone conclusion.

All those soldiers have been tried and sentenced to death by court martial.

60 men out of a 150,000 man army = 0.04% tiny insignificant numbers.

Nigerian army does NOT tolerate cowardice like were army union members chose which war they want or don't want to fight.....50,000 South African soldiers, a whole complete army refused to go fight Selaka rebels and save fellow Africans from the ravages of war in C.A.R allowing innocent civilians to perish.

Then your army still gave them medals of national honour for an offence that Nigerian army gives death sentence !

SANDF = BUSHMEN-ZULU HUNTERS

Dont need to.

Its pretty obvious those are civilian casualties.

Yes, civilians using all the APCs, AK-47, 23mm four barrel AAA cannon, and 14.5mm double barrel HMGs captured and displayed by Nigerian military = Boko Haram

Msauza:




You can't nationalise what does not belong to you.

I see only the rate of unemployment going higher and higher, and consequently the dwindling economy.

Anything on Nigerian soil can be nationalized in less than 5 seconds there is nothing complicated about it... but of course a South African Zulu/Xhosa slave would know nothing about doing that because the whites still own everything in your country 20 years after the end of apartheid.

agaugust:


There is NOTHING South Africa produces that Nigeria cannot get from China, Israel, India, Ukraine, Russia...cheaper and better.

You have lost a major potential arms deal by your foolishness, Nigeria has signed a new ALL ASPECTS weapons deal with Russia...

South Africa is the loser, big loser, you should have allowed Nigeria to test your weapons against Boko Haram and help you market them worldwide as battle tested weapons, but your backward thinking has made you forget how the game of marketing by evidence works.

Nation of ANC fools

If that's the case why is Nigeria seeking SA arms then?

Fools that you wanna buy arms from?

Your money will be used to produce advanced systems for SA.

That is the testimony of a vehemently anti-arms deal critic, obviously it is biased as hell

He is a filthy pacifist that says even having an army is unconstitutional and that we should disband the SANDF and only have border guards and a coast guard.

His opinion is worthless. And he will be exposed under cross-examination.

For example he says we have no pilots for the Gripen and Hawks - yet we currently have a total of 60

The other anti-arms deal activists withdrew form the commission because they know that they have no case. Especially after Navy and Airforce officers blew the "wrong equipment" argument out of the water

His being grilled. I watched the commission today.

His making silly claims,from linking Hani to the arms deal to claiming former defence minister was poisoned.

This curve is attached for your enjoyment. Read it and weep Augububu. The trend is that of utter sheer uselessness. And these are only conservative numbers.

you should be wise enough to know that the terrorists are counted as Nigerian too. Or you thought they fell from moon? Moronic southies!!!!

Quote where I said that.

SA just lost the chance to encourage Nigeria to buy arms from you since always ignore you and buy from Asia or Europe. South Africa is a bad businessman, Nigeria is spending billions of dollars on weapons now and you spoiled your own chances by driving away a rich customer... fools !

Nigeria does NOT need South Africa, 90% of our arms are purchased from Russia - China axis in the last 10 years.

What have we ever bought from you? MRAPS only and in very few numbers.

Tell me what weapon South Africa produces that we cannot get from Russia, India, Israel, China ? Nothing !!!!

We will swallow up your MTN and gift it free to Globacom, all you will ever do is to cry and mourn your loss

It doesn't change the fact 85% of black south-africans live in poverty.

All that machismo can't be backed up by nothing.

"Mild" sanctions brought them to their knees forcing them to retire jets. Today their crying babies towards the west's policy.

Poor people get government grant here. A poor South African lives comfortable than a poor Nigerian.
