The polls were conducted in 2010, it decreased to 110 million
http://dailypost.ng/2016/07/16/110m-nigerians-are-living-in-poverty-osinbajo/

Still too high if you think about how much money Nigeria is making a day.

dude check out a profile in nairaland called scholes there are analysis of poverty in nigeria,observe the different States and regions in nigeria,overall 33% of Nigerians are poir

KenyaMan111:
You don't know how GDP per capital works, it's an average,

I hate to get mathematical, but I'll try to explain as basically as possible but this is how it works.
Let's say person A gets $100,000
Person B gets $0 now divide that wealth by the both of them
The average is instantly $50,000
This doesn't mean every person is getting $50,000
It just means your Nigerians elites are making way "tooo" much money so they bring up the entire average drastically.
The most recent polls I can find explicitly states that 155.6 million people live in under $5. That's about 60% of your population
The other 30% are living like gods making roughly 4-10 billion each, thus bringing the average up and giving people a false perception of what's really happening, including Nigerians themselves.
Go boycott those 30% and demand everybody get $3,001.51 like the stats claim falsely.
If you think about it for an empirical standpoint, it just means you have nicer buildings and restaurants, which adds into the delusion of grandeur and make you guys feel supreme, but are really living like Somalis.

hey god which kind person be this one ,156 million na so you like lie,this massive poverty you guys keep talking about ?,maybe it is not where I live oh,keep lying you hear,I don't have much ,I we understand due to extreme poverty in northern Nigeria,that I understand but they are just half our population and only 33% of Nigeria is considered poor you just brought 60% sincerely I think I am done with you,it is a shame that most analytical Nigerians can't find this thrend resulting you guys terrorizing with lies,if 156 million Nigerians poor how many come dey our country?

KenyaMan111:
We aren't an exporting powerhouse like Nigeria, this isn't the way to reach prosperity because eventually no one will want oil. That's not what we're claiming, idiot. We're known to trade and rely on our market, hence why we have so many malls. Our annual growth rate has passed Nigeria, which means even with all that oil, you're still below us when it comes to actual growth. Perhaps you should stop looking at how much money you guys make and start looking at the bigger picture like how all of that money is kept by a few people, and ordinary Nigerians don't even get to so much as breathe on it.

u keeping bitching about the average Nigerians,do you we have a higher GDP per capita than you guys,even with your small and homogenous population,are u saying Nigeria don't have middlemen?,check out wealth in each states,this wealth inequality and massive only exist in our northern region ,still we have a GDP per capita but u just can't stop bitching,I HAVE absolutely nothing against Kenya or its people but ur desires to paint out the whole of nigeria is making you stupid.

Kenyanstar:
Nigerians should learn to take defeat graciously.... In terms of infrastructure and development growth, South Africa is leap and bounds beyond Kenya. Kenyans accept and appreciate this fact thus necessitating it as a country to emulate the model the South Africans used to get their systems currently working. You wont find Kenyans bad mouthing South Africa over petty issues like pointing out that whites built the country to its current status.
Appreciating the strength of your opponent and learning from them is what any country should emulate, not pulling them down to your backwardness.
Nigeria has a big GDP, but does it translate into the common Lagosians, Abujans financial status? No!
Nigerians GDP provides a falls sense of per capita to the general population of Nigeria if only the entire 520B ends up in the pocket of 5% of the entire population. How comes of the 30m Lagosians 80% live in informal settlements/slums while its GDP of the city is bigger than Kenya as a country.
Its time Nigeria accepted that it makes no sense to talk big on figures and numbers while the ground gives a totally different reality.

shut up and learn I mentioned GDP per capital,80% lagosians leave in slumps?,u don't have sense my friend,I said you should compare kenya to a place of its size such individual southern regions but you started ,my country is almost 200 million it don't expect it to have the same development stats as a country of 34m,each of the zones would make sense,Norway is 5m rank more developed than USA 315m ,but there are many places is America richer and developed than Norway,this is exactly the same issue playing here but unfortunately for you and other idle people who spent 30 goddamm trends talking pointless talk,compere SW nigeria to Kenya
1.gdp
2.GDP per capital
3.literacy
4.poverty rate
5.life expantancy.
these two places are almost of the same population.

Kenyanstar:
So lets get down to the basics... One thing I agree with you is that:
NIGERIA
1. Nigeria has a bigger population than Kenya
2.Nigeria has a bigger GDP than Kenya
3.I think its only 1&2 only

KENYA
1.Kenya has free primary school education to all children
2.Kenya has free medical care to all children aged 5yrs & below
3.Kenya provides free maternity to all expectant mothers.
4.Kenya provide student loans to all university going individuals in both private & public university.
5.Kenya provides the cheapest electricity connection to all citizens in East & Sub Sahara africa.............50,000/= Naira

okay in welfare,nationhood,less corruption political stability you guys win,Nigerian has a higher GDP per capital but you have been avoiding that like a plague,you country is 34 million mine is 180 million I won't compare the whole thing I would go with the southern regions alone they just as the same population,that would be a more nicer argument let's just our of it.

GERALD710:
The second picture is what we call a SLUM in Mombasa ,Kenya. To us, a brown roof=Slum because they do not exist in any of our working class or middle class estates.
Slums cover just 5% of Nairobi. Nairobi slums have a lot of people but are hardly visible .

but u admit Kenya has slums?,I saw a list of Africa biggest slums and there were mostly Kenya's

Lucasbalo:
You are a fool. I have so much stake in America that you will never know. All my family are here in US and my wife and i pays Tens of Thousands of $ yearly in Federal and State Taxes not talking about County taxes, Sales tax and Capital Gains Taxes. Mr Hungry man, what's your contribution to America that you want to kill yourself for ?. You are rottening in Nigeria and you and your ilks are consumed about a country that doesn't even know you exist.

am not a member of this section of nairaland,but I can't help but notice your annoying attitude,if you can't face a debate without insulting and name calling then I suggest u leave the internet,not every body in Nigeria is Hungry the better u get that into your sticky head the better for you, there are many non Americans discussing American election in reddit while don't you go there and call them hungry or try tell them they are rottening simply because they don't stay in the us ,and you are likely a son of a Nigerian immigrant but you here spilling trash.

na today racism start?,the f*cking liberal media and their nonsense again

the the top countries have something Islam about them

Kassidy90:
Whose fault is that?

u still don't get me do u,?majority are protestants followed by catholics in US, but Americans don't cover their faces with hijab,it is not part of their culture,flocking over there with Muslim fellows,considering your damages in the M.E ,Africa,they easily recognized u Muslims with hijab and hilarious beards,u are easy to identify and considering they hate u guys hating hijabs is their next action.

Kassidy90:
But u have no problem with a nun covering her head d same way..HYPOCRITE

1) a Muslim lady with hija

2) a nun

Just tell me d different..

okay how many nuns do u see in the street of america?

abduljabbar4:
You don't even know anything about your religion. Your religion promotes incest, killing of false prophets, killing of adulterers, and non-believers. Christians have killed much more people than Muslims. The adolf hitler that you call an atheist was actually a catholic.

Yes, Islam is gaining popularity everyday. Just last week about 7 christians converted to Islam and so far on NL all the atheists including seun were christians before. Talking about wars, who are those funding them? So far more people have been killed in the world wars than th wars fought by muslims so can you stfu?

Your religion is more demonic and senseless. Tb joshua's prophecy should explain this point better.

bitch stop being if Adolf Hitler is Christian or not is not the main thing among historians,did he star ww2 in the name is god?,if you were quite enlighten you know that Christianity is actually the new testament so what the Bleep are u talking about,u want to live in america,what about Christian minorities living in Saudi Arabia?

TRendlona:
Neymar was nominated in the Ballon d'or and FIFA player of the year 2016 shortlist of which Hazard wasn't... He still has a big edge over Hazard. Hazard should be compared with Mahrez and the likes..

MssTee:
Your kofa page will change from submitted to admitted and you'll see the course you were admitted into below your screening score. Nothing has been said about payment yet.

I can't log into my kofa page I don't know why,but people at the cafe seem to know how to do it

RobynAA:
Am I the only one in this? my kofa page is still asking me to download application and invitation slip

Orikinla:
90% of private universities in Nigeria are not better than high schools in the US.

if you believe this then you are very ignorant and have a huge inferiority complex

MadCow1:
I am not a Muslim, and I wouldnt go as far as to say I know nothing, but if they all want to live in a society governed by Sharia Law, then I guess it's cool..


As long as it is clearly spelt out. The darn Sharia Law seems to be working in the United Arab Emirate and Saudi Arabia so that tells me it's workable. We just need to fine tune it, make the rules clear as it applies to non-muslims and how the jurisdiction of a matter will be decided (as I don't believe it is right to try a non Muslim under their laws)..

those countries are rich because of one word;oil

9jii:
Did all the money making pastore reduce the number of Babies sellers,rapists, Robbers,cultists,drug lords in your sinful land?

"sinful lands" another Muslims with archaic thinking, the south is sinful yet our streets are littered with your beggers
