Wale Edun: Only 5% Of Nigerians Have Over ₦‎500k In Their Bank Accounts by Thissystem(op): 1:46pm On Feb 24, 2024
Wale Edun, Nigeria’s Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, says approximately only 5% of people in Nigeria have more than N500,000 in their bank accounts.

The Minister who disclosed this on Friday in an interview on Channels Television, said the Federal Government plans to rectify the economic imbalances that disproportionately favour a small group of elites in the last eight years over the majority of citizens.

The aim of microeconomic reform, he said, is to ensure revenue is directed into the government’s treasury.

His words: “There has been an effort to ensure that the people’s money is not in the hands of a few. And on that point, I must emphasize that when we talk about the last eight years before Mr. President came to power, there was this liquidity built up.”

“The Issue was that the funds were going to a few. Only about 5% of the population have bank accounts that have more than half a million in them. So, the majority was left out for eight years. They are on the sidelines while a small minority enjoyed.”

Who would save up to N500k on a N30k monthly minimum wage that’s not up to N500k in a year and can’t even buy half a bag of rice

The corrupt and hungry Agbadorians will be seriously eyeing your bank account if you belong to that 5%.

Even if you have more in your account, will you keep it inside a single account for bandits and kidnappers? Or in Naira for its value to erode?

They are so stupid and shameless. The other day they were accusing Igbos of refusing to take part in protests against hardship, only for them to turn around and accuse the few Igbos who joined them of being the ones who are sabotaging ESCobat's government. Very stupid and mentally limited people.

Even me, I don't have up to N500k in Naira in any of my Naira accounts, so what gives?

I can't believe a so-called finance minister should be citing such pedestrian 'statistics' that is neither here nor there.

Ebi is everywhere even before the subsidy removal.

It's only "ebi n pa wa" that can make people sell their votes for Okpa and Jollof that they will shit out the next day or two.
