Nigeria has been ranked the third nation with the poorest people in the world, according to an annual global wealth report compiled by the Swiss bank, Credit Suisse.

The nation came third with 35 million Nigerians classified among the poorest people in the world, after China’s 72 million while India tops the list with 246 million people.

According to the report, nearly three quarters of the world’s poorest billion live in Asian and African countries. Other countries contributing significantly to the bottom wealth bracket are Russia with 28 million of the world’s poorest, Ukraine with 25 million and the United States with 21 million.

In the report published on DPA website, many of the world’s richest and poorest people live in Asian countries, highlighting the unequal distribution of wealth.

I find this hard to believe. Are they saying we are the poorest country in Africa? How come?

Nonsense

It's factual.

We are living a fake and borrowed life.

But somebody came first

Buhari see ur life


Buhari is a monumental disaster and failure to Nigeria and the World-----Zombies can quote me anywhere

The poster above me have said it all .

Switzerland is landlocked, without towering skyscrapers, no natural resource, but remain the richest.

The country with the highest GDP is currently Qatar.

Well I really don't know what to say...

I tire for Nigeria matter.

Liars...mtscheww

lol

See what boko hari has turned this country into
From the biggest economy in Africa to the 3rd poorest in the world
By 2019 nigeria will become the first second and third poorest country in the world

People! We NEED to open our eyes and minds to understand the criterion used to arrive at the rankings.
It's based on population figures.
India & China are the largest population in the world by far and are not entirely developed. And so they easily translate to being the poorest.
In a similar vein, Nigeria being the 7th most populous, further complicated by its low economic status in terms of GDP ranks very high too.
In contrast, some other countries with a larger population than Nigeria have a higher GDP and thus a lesser population of poor people. Such countries as Brasil, USA, Japan, Russia and even Asian countries like Indonesia.
So its just a tacit way to blacklist our dear country again.
