shervydman:Evidence of people who just repeat what others say and think without some form of research. Dangote took advantage of policies by Government from the time of Shagari down to Obasanjo, and he was smart about it, even though sometimes these policies affected him and he failed many times, but these wailers must have something to wail about. I know he doesn't even know what he's talking about, and if we go into this, he has nothing new to tell me. |

Jayceon: According to stats research of 2015, Nigeria had 1.4m middle class and South africa had 35m people considered middle class. Hence you have people subscribed to Dstv in South africa at 6m subscribers whereas in nigeria is 1.6m subscribers, those numbers says a lot. South africa has more than 2000 malls and Nigeria has only 28, its all about the buying power. 2 Likes |

freshest4live: More recent data from EIU Canback, a consultancy (and sister-company of The Economist), show some growth (see chart) in the decade to 2014 but it is painfully slow: 90% of Africans still fall below the threshold of $10 a day and the proportion in the $10-$20 middle class (excluding very atypical South Africa), rose from 4.4% to only 6.2% between 2004 and 2014; over the same decade, the proportion defined as “upper middle” ($20-$50 a day) went from another 1.4% to 2.3%. Other surveys are also disappointing. Standard Bank, a South African lender, thinks that though the number has increased, there are still only 15m middle class households in 11 of sub-Saharan Africa’s bigger economies (excluding South Africa and using a range of $15-$115 a day). https://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21676774-africans-are-mainly-rich-or-poor-not-middle-class-should-worry 1 Like |

shervydman: How many cities does New zealand have? Christchurch, Wellington, etc. and they have a population of 4m. If Botswana was as developed at Qatar, UAE, those countries have smaller population, i would start to respect Botswana, but for now, its just a rural country with no development to write home about. |

14:You have to be careful with some of these studies, for example your study agrees with another that says Nigerian middle class is 4.1 million, which is merely 11% of the population, bu 4.1 million is not 11% of the population. Read this article as well, it gives thesame false data but says Nigeria has the largest middle class on the continent. https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://blog.standardbank.com/node/61428&ved=0ahUKEwiPlaHEm63WAhWZF8AKHRU_BI4QFgguMAM&usg=AFQjCNEFLNbDw7uNnM1BHpQbXTCJzB7K_g |

Nigeria, which is Africa’s biggest economy and has the largest African population, is leading the growth of new middle-class households on the continent with an estimated 7.6-million to be added in the next 16 years. Nigeria's middle class grew by 600% between 2000 and 2014 giving the country 4.1-million middle-class households at present, which is 11% of its total population. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by freshest4live: 11:04pm On Sep 17, 2017 |
As you can see, the data above talks about middle class households and says it's the largest in Africa, the problem is that 4.1 million is not close to 11% of the population. |

freshest4live: This study put Nigeria’s middle class at 4.1m or a mere 11% of the population. It estimated the middle-class population to account for just 21% of Angola’s households, 14% of Sudan’s, and around 10% of Zambia’s. Furthermore, Standard Bank’s research found that most African households remained in a low-income band − an overwhelming 94m individuals, or 86% of the sample population. http://africanbusinessmagazine.com/region/continental/how-big-really-is-africas-middle-class/ I hit with facts, not fake numbers. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by freshest4live: 11:10pm On Sep 17, 2017 |
14:4.1 million is not 11% of our population. And if you agree with the study, do you also agree it is the largest in the continent? |
