Nigeria Overtakes India As The Country With The Highest Number Of Poor People. by ernieboy(m): 6:41am On Jun 27, 2018
Buhari and apc has just created another record:

Nigeria has emerged as the country with the highest number of poor people in the world , overtaking India .
According to a report by the Brookings Institution, data from the World Poverty Clock show that Nigeria now has over 87 million people living in poverty .
The report adds that six Nigerians become poor every minute .
The National Bureau of Statistics had painted a worse picture in 2016 when it reported that no fewer than 112 million Nigerians live below the poverty line
It reads in part, “According to our projections , Nigeria has already overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extreme poor in early 2018 , and the Democratic Republic of the Congo could soon take over the number two .
“ At the end of May 2018 , our trajectories suggest that Nigeria had about 87 million people in extreme poverty , compared with India ’ s 73 million .
“ What is more , extreme poverty in Nigeria is growing by six people every minute , while poverty in India continues to fall.
“ In fact , by the end of 2018 in Africa as a whole , there will probably be about 3 . 2 million more people living in extreme poverty than there are today . ”
