keep telling yourself these lies.

I'm from Nigeria's lower middle class. I can afford travel to Kenya, SA and even Dubai like most lower middle class Nigerians. I stay at Valley Arcade Lavington whenever am in Nairobi so what exactly are you on about?

The areas mentioned in Nairobi are very well affordable for the average frugal Nigerian.
So as a matter of perception this is Ibadan near the town center and you cant clearly compare your upper middle class with our lowest middle class. It will be unreasonable and falacious since you personally have managed to leave in Kenya. You have certainly had the opportunity of visiting other major towns in Kenya, lets be honest and accept that thou we have the poor in certain areas in Kenya their lifestyles are far better than the average "frugal" Nigerian.

u sound naive,talking about anti Kenyan in Nigeria?many Nigerians don't really know much about Kenya, how can they be anti-an eastern african,people are much popular with our fellow west African,Nigeria didn't say anything on this report it was done by an international organization but you said it was a lie because according to you Nigeria has a poverty rate of 70% ,I wanted you to visit and see the people were saying. 70% are poor,I seriously don't have time for all this I gave u just two things to do
1,compare Kenya to our different southern regions which a similar population to ur country.
2.analytize poverty rates in Nigeria?even gave u a link ,but u said it was a lie that 70%. percents,for now I simply leave you to your delusions.

My friend listren only population of pupils Lagos state and Imo state give free education are more than what your entire country have,not to talk about 10 to 15 states that give free education from primary to secondary schools in Nigeria, kenya with less than 2000mw of electricity have average power while Nigeria have more than 5000mw. come to your university education i don't think that what fed universities pay in nigeria is fees because here some schools pay less than 30,000 naira and that less than 100$ a semester. so kindly lets know how much they pay in your university before giving them loan.as for other things you wrote up there i know you're making yourself feel better.

https://www.unicef.org/nigeria/children_1937.html

40% of Nigerian children aged 6-11 do not attend any primary school with the Northern region recording the lowest school attendance rate in the country. Increased enrollment rates have also created challenges, It is not rare to see cases of 100 pupils per teacher or students sitting under trees outside the school building because of the lack of classrooms.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/poor-rating-for-lagos-education-intervention-projects/

Recall that on November 7, 2014, Vanguard did a report of the Ajeromi Ifelodun Secondary School, AIJSS (alias Sinclair), in the popular ghetto city, Ajegunle, titled: “Lagos secondary school where students sit on floor, windows to receive lectures.” In the school, Vanguard gathered that the JSS1 and JSS2, annually, parents whose children got admitted into JSS1, are usually compelled to pay N2, 000 for the provision of furniture (chairs and desks). It was learnt that parents who failed to pay the said amount have their children sit on bare floor, tyres, broken furniture, classroom windows, or even stand during lessons. Arguably, this is the situation in some of the schools across the state, especially those in suburb areas.

NIGERIA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_energy_supply_crisis

Nigeria is one of the most populated countries in Africa but only about 40% of the people are connected to the energy grid. The people who actually have power experience difficulties around 60% of the time (Aliyu, Ramli & Saleh, 2013). Nigeria’s energy grid is arguably in crisis due to lack of development. There are approximately 162 million people living in Nigeria. Of these people about 70% them are living below the poverty line of one dollar a day (Ejiogu, 2013). Currently the only plan the government has in place to help solve the energy crisis is to expand the fossil fuel burning sector (US Energy Administration, 2013). Nigeria has a reputation of having one of the most corrupt governments in the world (Ejiogu, 2012). Currently the only plan the government has in place to help solve the energy crisis is to expand the fossil fuel burning sector (US Energy Administration, 2013).

Even if 110m nigerians are poor, it's still have more than 70m that are living well and that's almost twice the population of kenya. The problem with these people is that they reason like kids which is what they are. if not, how can they compare economy of 450b$ to their 70$? Just like because china has the second largest population of poor people then singapore will bragging to them, meanwhile everything singapore have china had it times five.

Poverty in Nigeria

Absolute poverty in Nigeria (earning less than a dollar a day) has increased from 55% in 2004 to 61% in 2014 and 71% in 2016 in contrast; there are almost 16,000 millionaires currently living in Nigeria representing less than 1% of the population, a 44% increase in the last 6 years. This is expected to grow to 23,000 by 2017, which represents a 47% increase. In Lagos, which is Africa’s most populous city, wealth inequality is most prominent and is home to 9,500 of these millionaires out of a population of 30m. These figures represent a huge issue with wealth distribution in the country and are attributed to a number of factors embedded within the Nigerian culture, system and policies.

Contributing Factors

The main factors that contribute to wealth inequality in Nigeria are corruption and high governance costs.

Corruption

Corruption is a major issue that is contributing to the increasing wealth gap between the rich and poor in Nigeria. Corruption has been ever present since the country’s independence in the 1960’s and it now seems to be an issue that is embedded within the Nigerian system and culture.

Cost of Governance

As long as corruption is embedded in the system, the cost of governance will continue to remain high. A report by the Sahara Reporters in 2012 found that it costs Nigerians $8.3 billion to pay the salaries of those in politics. In 2012, $7.4 was to be spent on developing infrastructure, but only half of this was spent towards its development. To put this into perspective, it meant that for every dollar spent on infrastructure development in Nigeria, two dollars are spent on salaries of those in politics.

CONCLUSION
16,000 dollar millionaires in comparison to 180m population
Nigeria spends more money on paying 5000 politicians than on 180m people
Nigeria has the worst economic implementation system
Nigeria has the biggest wealth disparity vis a vis GDP

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-17015873

Poverty has risen in Nigeria, with almost 100 million people living on less than a $1 (£0.63) a day, despite economic growth, statistics have shown.

The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in 2004.

The bureau predicted this rising trend was likely to continue.

Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but the sector has been tainted by accusations of corruption .

According to the report, absolute poverty is measured by the number of people who can afford only the bare essentials of shelter, food and clothing.

https://www.ruralpovertyportal.org/web/rural-poverty-portal/country/home/.../nigeria

Some 70 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1.25 a day. Poverty is especially severe in rural areas, where up to 80 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line, and social services and infrastructure are limited. The country's poor rural women and men depend on agriculture for food and income.

https://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/nigeria_statistics.html

Despite Nigeria's plentiful agricultural resources and oil wealth, poverty is widespread in the country and has increased since the late 1990s. Some 70 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1.25 a day.

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.
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.
