A non-governmental organisation in Vienna, World Poverty Clock, funded by the German government and led by Homi Kharas, deputy director of the Brookings Institution in the US, and Wolfgang Fengler, a World Bank lead economist, is predicting that Nigeria will overtake India as the country with one of the world’s poorest people.


A Financial Times’ report below revealed that an estimated 47m people, almost equivalent to the population of Colombia, are likely to escape extreme poverty this year. But that will not be enough to get anywhere near the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of ending extreme poverty — defined as living on less than $1.90 a day at 2011 purchasing power parity prices — by 2030.

Another legacy of the Buhari govt?

Nigeria is out of recession only in the voodoo economics reasoning of this deceptive government.

THAT IS WHY BUHARI MUST BE PACKED TO DAURA IN 2019.

Although l am not 100% accepting this report but let's assume it true
We all know were over majority of the poor are situated.

Another land mark achievement of this current administration.

Not surprised

Congrats to buhari and his propaganda machinery

Legacy of APC change Buhari D vegetable has always been associated with poverty and suffering. It was during buhari's govt in 1984 that zoogerians tasted hunger and famine for the first time since independent. Same way Nigerians never knew second hand cars until vegetable came onboard.

It's not shocking at all bcoz brainless Buhari is d president of our country.
He has broken another record and deserve to be inducted into d Hall of failure for his new achievement.

We are the poorest before now,we don't need to be reminded of misfortune

Nigeria is out of recession only in the [b]voodoo economics [/b]reasoning of this deceptive government.

The only voodoo economist ever produced by Nigeria is the puff-puff checked professor of voodoo economics world bank house-girl called Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla who supervised and approved the looting of our resources. She was the one that advised Obasanjo to pay off all our debts to the world bank when she served under Obasanjo. When she came in as Supervising Minister of Finance and Economy under Jonaddaft, she advised Jonaddaft to get more loans and accumulate debts which she and her gang of 40 thieves shared.

Are yiu sure we can wait till 2019?

Forget North east.. ....go to Osun state and Ita-Ogbolu in Ondo state and see how extremely poor and wretched they are
