Nigerians are truly poor in the midst of plenty. Thanks to our politicians. Resource control is the key to national development, let's embrace it. Restructuring is not even the way out if it is such that Peter is still being robbed to pay Paul because Paul will keep dragging Peter back. 36 Likes 3 Shares |

This should be on the front page. It seems the poverty rate has even accelerated from about negative 6 percent late last year to negative 8 percent this year. Sai baba. Look at the chats again. The rate actually has gotten better for 8 percent to 6 percent. 24 Likes 1 Share |

12submarine: I don't think you are current on India's progress. India has improved significantly. Current estimates are that India will overcome China in the future both in economy and population. Do you realise that Nigerians go to India for medical tourism? Most imported drugs today are from India. Moreover, this about 'extreme poverty'. 82 million Indians cannot afford 680 Naira a day. It is not small even though it is 6% of India's over 1.3 Billion population. 51 Likes 7 Shares |

12submarine: You sound ignorant when you make statements like that. You don't know about India's progress but you are arguing about the numbers. According to Wikipedia, India's economy became the world's fastest growing major economy surpassing China since 2015 Do you realise that Indians are taking over the US tech sector? Why do you think Trump is clamping down on H1 visas? Moreover, the operative word here is EXTREMELY poor. Go and educate yourself before you start spewing rubbish in public 48 Likes 8 Shares

DrRasheed:Exactly. I made a similar comment without even seeing yours. Either Nigeria is the worst with actually documented statistics, or this is just false. Also, more than 6% of India is in abject poverty, I don't care what their stats say. 4 Likes |

12submarine: Please note. Extreme poverty implies living on about $1.75 per day. This equates to about $52.5 in a month which is equal to 18900 naira per month 18 Likes 3 Shares |

LRNZH: Umm, I don't know why you're so pained. You're not Indian, and you're definitely not correct. India is in no way shape or form the fastest growing economy in the world. Your statistics are broken. http://www.businessinsider.com/world-bank-fast-growing-global-economies-2015-6?IR=T 5 Likes |

12submarine: 1) the data that you provided is from 6 years ago 2) It includes both the poor and extremely poor. 3) There is an internationally recognized difference between POOR and Extremely POOR. 4) The original post is focusing on the Extremely POOR only. Not all poor people 20 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Nigeria Has Highest Number Of Extremely Poor People In The World by 12submarine(m): 9:34am On Feb 05, 2018 |
LRNZH:You are talking about number in extreme poverty not the country with good economic growth. For the country with the highest number of people living in extreme poverty in the world, Nigeria is not the highest. Again, that 6 percent of Indians in extreme poverty is a very big lie. I watched one documentary where some Indians eat directly from gutters. Are you telling me about 80 million Nigerians live that life? Abeggi 2 Likes |

Re: Nigeria Has Highest Number Of Extremely Poor People In The World by MrMaestro: 9:39am On Feb 05, 2018 |
DrRasheed:Exactly. Most people don't know anything about India. They just think they're the next China, which is just not going to happen (nobody will have the growth China had honestly). They have a large population and they're industrializing. But they are no where near China yet. Especially when it comes to poverty reduction. Heck, some places in Nigeria are cleaner than New Delhi. 3 Likes |

horsepower101:Population of India is over a billion, and India is one of the poorest countries in the world. Good number of them are beggars. If Nigeria has 80 million in abject poverty, India should have at least 200 millions. Stop supporting falsehood because of your hatred for Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share

According to the world poverty clock, over 40 Indians are escaping extreme poverty every minute, where as 6 nigerians are entering extreme poverty every minute. This is based on GDP growth and other indices. 16 Likes 5 Shares |
