Nigeria Is Now The Poverty Capital Of The World- Theresa May British PM by AllTheWayUp: 2:00pm On Aug 28, 2018
Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, says Nigeria is the home of the highest number of poor people in the world.

Speaking in Cape Town, South Africa, on Tuesday, the Prime Minister said Africa is home to a majority of the world’s fragile states, and a quarter of the world’s displaced people.

She added that Africa has the highest number of poor people in the world, stating that 87 million Nigerians were living below the poverty line of $1 and 90 cents per day.

“Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live below $1 and 90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation in the world,” she said.


May said achieving the inclusive growth is a challenge across the world, adding that Africa needs to create 50,000 new jobs per day to keep employment rate at its current levels till 2035.

The prime minister said she wants the UK to become the biggest G-7 investor in Africa by 2022, building around shared prosperity and shared security.

“I am unashamed about the need to ensure that our aid program works for the UK,” May said, adding that a healthy African economy is good news for the UK.

“Today I am committing that our development spending will not only combat extreme poverty, but at the same time tackle global challenges and support our own national interest.”

“It is in the world’s interest to see that those jobs are created, to tackle the causes and symptoms of extremism and instability, to deal with migration flows and to encourage clean growth,” she added.

The 61-year-old said the UK is planning to sign a deal with Kenya to ensure the repatriation of stolen Kenyan funds stuck in the UK.

The UK has one of the biggest overseas aid programme in the world, expending $18 billion on aid overseas in 2017 alone.

Theresa May will be visiting Nigeria later this week.

Nigeria needs to start creating 50,000 new jobs per day to keep employment rate at it's current level

What's the way forward my dear country?

Are we going to continue like this for the next decade?

And note that even if we have visionary leaders like Obama, Putin and Trump, Nigeria won't still work

Our problem as a nation is a collective development with our leaders sharing less than 10% of the overall inputs

Until we change our mindset, priorities, passion, fantasies, exposures, adventures, mental orientations, intellectual sophistications, psychological advancements, emotional inadequacies, social imbalances, religious approach, technological worldview and scientific inclinations, we are not going anywhere

We joke with almost everything that happens to us as a nation

We politicized everything

A President just called our President lifeless and instead of being sad and showing sobber reflection, we're busy hailing him and castigating our own

We're also the most confused people still living on this planet

You want Buhari to be out of office and go back to Daura but according to you

Saraki is corrupt, Atiku is a looter, Tambuwal is politically confused, Donald Duke is just wasting his time

You want the youth to take over but according to you

Sowore that can't even win an LGA election or even an SUG election

You're just being indecisive and quite irritating to the rest of the Western world

Start getting your priorities right and stop engaging in unnecessary inenarrable protest on social media

You can't vote in an illiterate into office and expect the performance of Clinton

Zombies and sycophants think otherwise. They are the most selfish people on the planet. Because their accounts are being credited with 30k monthly just to defend immunity and backwardness, they close their dirty pig eyes to the monumental failure this nation has as President.

Economic growth with increasing poverty. This is actually PDP policy that Buhari is changing with SIP. Nigeria manufactured millions of poor people while the clueless one was saying Nigeria had many private jets. This was one of the reasons why he was booted back to Otuoke and we now have more serious people in Aso Rock. It might take a little longer to reverse the negative trend but Nigeria has started and Buhari 's second term will unfetter Nigeria from the hands of looting networks and people who cannot see a country without corruption.

UK can help by stopping to take corrupt fund flows into its real estate markets and investing in Nigeria agricultural, AGRO foods and FMCG sectors.

We did not arrive here solely because of Buhari. Our Government in all strata have failed. Even the citizens have failed the country called Nigeria.

The annoying part is that the Government will deny this obvious truth and the cycle continues.

When I was was educating that illiterate that poverty has increased by over 100% in just 3 years, he was busy regurgitating APC nonsense.

A country of 180 million overtakes a country of 1.2bilion in the number of absolutely poor people.

And that country of 1.2 billion has only one source of income which has become almost useless?

Did it also have past leaders who sit over a table to share 2.1 billion dollars meant for arms purchase?

Did it have past leadership that ruin a reserve balance of 60 billion dollars?

In this 21st century when every country are feeding themselves, the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of Bia-fra terrorist are importing what others are producing.
So, if we tell them to go, they can't even feed themselves, no wonder they want river state,delta and akwa ibom to joined their foolishness because of their oil.

Over 16 yrs of corrupt pdp with more than $700b from oil proceed alone,

SarkinYarki:
For those who still don't know let me enlighten you that in just 3 years under the lifeless dullard called Buhari Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the planet earth shattering every mind boggling poverty record there is....... see below the highlights.


Over 90 million people living in abject hopeless poverty of below 50 cents a day ( the highest in recent history)

Over 150 million Nigerians living in standard poverty of below 3 dollars a day ( another mind boggling record )

Every 6 minutes one Nigerian is being thrown into abject poverty ( highest in world )


Nigeria has more poor people in both percentage and figures ( this has never happened in the entire recorded human history)

Only 8 percent of Nigerians earn 60k a month the rest earn below


Nigeria currently has the highest number of children out of school on earth

Nigeria currently also has the highest number of displaced person and refugee on earth ..



And yes we broke all these records under the lifeless dullard.
