91 million Nigerians are now living in extreme poverty, as confirmed by World Poverty Clock which reported that at least three million Nigerians slipped into extreme poverty between November 2018 and February 2019.

Recall that while British Prime Minister Theresa May said Nigeria had become home to the largest number of very poor people in the world, putting the figures at 87 million, the  Brookings Institution in June 2018 projected that Nigeria had overtaken India, as the poverty capital of the world, with 86.9 million extremely poor people.

However the new data made available by World Poverty Clock, created by Vienna-based World Data Lab, revealed that 91.16 million Nigerians were living below a dollar a day as of February 13, 2019. As at today, India has 48.7 million people living in poverty, from 73 million in June 2018. This means that India pulled out a minimum of 24 million people from poverty, in less than eight months.

People who live below the poverty line of $1.90 or N693.5 per day, are said to be living in extreme poverty.
