That is true, if you look at the buying power of most of these people( "rich" ) and compare it with their counterparts abroad you will see that maybe the only rich people are not more than 2 percent while the others are glorified middle class, and out of these 2%, 1.5% are actually politicians or head of government parastatals.

In Nigeria, all you want is money.

The consequence of that is that, you either have it, a lot, or you don't have it at all.
Contentment is alien to the Nigerian.

Twoclans:
No it is not .
You are either poor or rich .

abbey621:
This is the way I see it, if you have your own house that you built or bought, 2 or more vehicles and have over 10 million in your account, you are middle class. Anything below this is lower class or average. For you to be considered truly wealthy in Nigeria, you must own more than one house and have over 100 million in cash or financial investments like bonds, fixed deposit, TB, etc.

MissRaine69:
There is no middle class you either have money or you don’t. Those that don’t have money are either Lower-lower class, lower- middle class or upper- lower class.
Those that have money are either comfortable, rich or wealthy.

How much do you make in a month?? Can you afford to train your children to university level ? If your honest answer is yes, it means you are wicked because there many workers that can not do so. Until there is equal distribution of wealth in Nigeria, corruption will never go

There is no middle class in Nigeria, because the government has refused to pay the right minimum wages and this has created unequal distribution of wealth

Chukwurah003:
PDP eliminated the middle class

Joromi12:
Middle class wey remain are all processing canada

rusher14:


Lol.

You are writing absolute tosh with confidence.

The private sector is meant to be the axle on which the economic wheel revolves.

The private sector suffers in Nigeria because it lacks a richly educated workforce , bedevilled by the ingranied culture of corruption in the average Nigerian, as well as obvious lack of creativity.

A country of 200 million inhabitants expecting government to employ majority of the unemployable.

Ugosample:


don't take it the wrong way

BUT

You don't know what you are talking abt


The no1 duty of govt is to create an ENABLING ENVIRONMENT for businesses to THRIVE

without that, how can the economy move?

And you think the govt is not to blame?


You are NOT SERIOUS

SexynSerious:
Nope. What you have in Nigeria are only the super rich and the poverty stricken.


Weep, my beloved country

Ugosample:


Your analogy is more like it

Hence my question

WHAT IS THE % OF NIGERIANS THAT FIT INTO THAT BRACKET?

abbey621:


Our population is around 200 million, workforce is about 40% of that = 80 million. Of those 80 million about 70% are underemployed or struggling entrepreneurs, leaving about 21 million. This means 21 million or 10% of the population could potentially be middle class, when you add yahoo boys, low level politicians and other scammers, we might be looking at 12-15% of the population.

Ugosample:

it's a shame
