NEW data from the World Poverty Clock on Tuesday revealed that over 70 million Nigerians are currently living in extreme poverty.

The figure represents about 33 per cent of the nation’s estimated population put at 215,353,968. It accounts for less than 50 per cent of the entire population figure.

The exact statistics of those living in extreme poverty, according to the World Poverty Clock was pegged at 70,677, 758 at a poverty threshold of $1.90.

The World Poverty Clock is an initiative of the World Data Lab. It provides real-time projections on income levels and pictorial descriptions of how every individual across the globe is escaping from extreme poverty through deliberate policies of respective nations across the world.

t indirectly helps monitor the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations set at 2030.

The situation of being in extreme poverty is often considered the most severe type of poverty. It is also described as abject poverty, deep poverty, absolute poverty, and in some cases penury.

Extreme poverty, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Inclusion is “a condition characterised by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education, and information.

“It depends not only on income but also on access to services.”

The World Bank uses a similar benchmark of $1.90 per day per person to measure people who are living on the global extreme poverty line.

Some of the indices also include access to clean water and good health care system, which Nigeria lack.

For instance, in November 2021, the country was ranked first globally in open defecation.

Earlier, in September same year, the Financial Derivatives Company (FDC) Limited disclosed how Nigeria had maintained its position as the poverty capital of the world.

Some of the challenges confronting the country, according to several experts, include inflation, unemployment, insecurity, corruption, infrastructure deficit etc.

Make government even dey give every citizen 20k monthly. It will ease things a bit. Abi we never reach that kind level for Africa ?

Member of OPEC for that matter.

Too bad

Poorest families among Igbos have at least 4 millionaires.
There, you see boys constructing roads for the community. Electricity. Water.

But our region here, I am very sorry to admit publicly that extraction of young girls' private organ and skull merchandising won't help us to come out of financial backwardness in south west. It is shameful we have the richest busness men and the poorest masses.

70% ? They are refering to us and our brothers up across the benue

But Buhari and his supporters claim to have lifted millions out of poverty... Abi dis over 70m no follow for the ones lifted

Buhari hand work

Meaningless report published by white colonialist for self hating Nigerians

So in their gullible minds 1 out of 4 Nigerian cant live off 800 per day

I mean the least cost of a plate of Nigerian meal goes for ₦200 even if it is garri, ground nut , sugar and pure water and you need two meals to function... That's ₦400 without rent, or transport fare, even if you are extremely poor, you still live in a room of ₦100 per day rent and spend ₦100 on Transport
