I don't care which has more poor people, Nigeria or India?

But I know that Nigeria and India are in the same league of development.

Nigerians expect Nigeria to be a Denmark, Switzerland or Norway.

But Nigeria will always go in line with India, Thailand, Lebanon, etc

The richest Indians are wealthier than the richest Danish and Norwegians but the latter have a conducive society. That is the same thing applicable in Nigeria.

A society with poor infrastructure is necessarily not a society with a poor economic power.

Like Nigerians, Indians have the opportunity to change their destinies but the primitive and lazy citizens outnumber the hardworking ones.

Keep deceiving yourself.

He said over 50℅ of Nigerians are living in poverty and the figure quoted is a little over 90m Nigerians out of roughly 200m. This is how the 50℅ was gotten.

For India, 103m out of over 1billion is living in poverty.

Now do ratio of Persons living in poverty in both countries compared to the population and see the reality.

90m:200m for Nigeria

103m: 1Billion people for India. (10℅ of the population)

The so called fact u quoted said 3℅ of of Chinese live in poverty. Add 3℅ Chinese to like 10% Indians. You get like 13℅ of 2.8Billion people.

Compare to Nigeria's 50℅ of 200m people.

Now who is lying?

Obi said India and China have pulled people out if poverty and that is true.

Is Nigeria pulling ppl out of poverty with 5k payment that is not enough for a pot of soup?

Take the message and forget about the messenger

Op, your analysis is faulty taking the ratio ofnthe number not the poor against the overall population. Nigeria will maintain that title for next foreseeable future.

"Although, World Poverty Clock does not have specific statistics on the poverty level on China, its country card for China shows that less than 3% of the country’s population live in extreme poverty."

This is deep. It means NO poverty in China.

[s]Shame on you OP. You just rushed here to say India could not get proper data dues to poverty, does Nigeria have proper data for anything? Anything at all. It had to take an international organization to tell us that Nigeria has more than 10million children out of school. You go to the streets and people are literally complaining, the price of every single thing has increased and you have the mouth to come and be dragging poverty level. Chai. undecided You see all this urchins who's job is to to whitewash their pay Master, may God visit you people with problems your pay Master cannot solve.[/s]

Imagine what we're arguing.
Op you are an idiot and illiterate. Your are supposed to lose your job as an e-urchin.
You are doing fact check for 46% of Nigerians in extreme poverty and 7.6% of Indians in extreme poverty.

Whoever came up with this fact check need to check further.
What is the population of India to Nigeria?

India is over a billion and Nigeria is a little below 200million.

Now the fact-checker says over 150k out of over a billion lives in poverty in India and in Nigeria over 95k out of 200million.

Now critically analysed the above scenarios to tell me where there is more poverty because as far as I am concerned...there is more poverty in Nigeria.

Also, India's population is at least ten times that of Nigeria, therefore Nigeria has more people living in extreme poverty per thousand compared to India

Verdict
Obi’s claim is untrue

Oh really?
At any point in this analysis, did it cross the OP mind to factor this as a percentage of the actual population of both countries?

What the OP need is a mathematical background to understand what Obi meant.E.g consider a family of 100 people with which has 20 poor people and another family of 20 with 10 poor people.Which family has higher percentage of people leaving in poverty?of course the family of 20 because 50% of their population are leaving in poverty only 20 percent of the family of 100 are leaving in poverty.Simple maths.
