Nigeria is not even among 100 richest countries in the world. Keep deceiving yourselves that Nigeria is rich.

Even your article didn't say it's citizens are poor, but migrant workers.
If migrants workers gets the same equal rights as citizens why not kuku make them citizens and stop calling them migrants

In October 2024, my lecturer stated that Nigeria isn’t a rich country.
He's very right.

Nigeria is rich in natural and human resources, but not financially.... mostly due to corruption.

I will never classify Nigeria as a rich country.

Venezuela also has massive oil reserves, in fact largest in the world - over 300 billion barrels but they are suffering from sanctions and bad government.

Hugo Chavez and Maduro mismanaged the wealth.

Nigeria isn't rich though. Run the numbers and see. But it does have some potential to be rich.

Adding Qatar and the UAE makes your post deceitful. Their citizens are not poor. It is the migrant workers who are not citizens, that are poor.

God will never allow these islamic countries in the Gulf to become world power because we will all be in trouble if they do.

Imagine having all the money and never caring for people who live and work in your country because they are not your citizens. And they don't even make foreigners their citizens, no matter how long they live in their country.
Your 'mumu' is in eternity mode!
If you know anything about politics! You will understand they are the actual world power! Russia, USA, China are just willing tools in the of those Gulf countries!

Imagine what crown prince did in Turkey, yet both Turkey and USA licked his ass!

What happened in Syria is with support of Qatar, yet Russia still looking for a way to lick their ass proper!

Its obvious the OP isn't well read.
The Gulf States are the richest in terms of GDP.
Their CITIZENS lack for nothing..
However the migrant workers(non citizens) obviously don't share in such largesse. They are there to do the work the citizens won't do.
So anything like Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Plan etc..remove them..
Africa is your main focus..
The dark and barbaric continent.
Talk about the shame of the continent.. Nigeria...with numerous raw materials and natural resources..bogged down by decades of corruption, nepotism and greed.
Talk about her twin sister..DRC, that one has been raped by the Belgians, Chinese now she's speading her buttcheeks for Rwamda and Uganda.. easily the most richest country in terms raw materials..still crawling upandan in the forest.. looking for whom to carry her.
Venezuela.. that's Nigeria's twin in South America..exact replica.. Corruption, insane greed..gosh. what a country . American CIA started the destruction, they continued it decades later .
Libya, Le enfant terribe. Another basketcase African shithole. They had something going on.
Military ruler/dictator.. Gaddafi.. he wasn't perfect but the county was stable and the economy prospered..maybe a little bit too much prosperity wasn't a good thing..this angered the powers that be..that an African country wants to be free of their shackles? We all know what happened next, the painful part was that the West may have orchestrated his removal but his own people pulled the trigger. Now they suffer for it ..years after his death..Libya is worse off.. Gaddafi's last words.."why are you people doing this"? Do you know what you're doing? Alas ..they did not know..now they know.

Only nigeria should be on that list
Re: 6 Countries That Are Rich But Their Citizens Are Poor by Basicend:
Nigeria and Venezuela should be the only viable pick in there.

Others have quite reasonable standard of living.

How can you miss the USA and the UK?

Are you okay?
Re: 6 Countries That Are Rich But Their Citizens Are Poor by Fiscus105(m): 11:51am On Feb 19, 2025
90% of the list are Arab or close to Arab.

In Arab blood, they enjoy seeing fellow human beings leaving like slave.

Little wonder, they claimed to be slaves to Almighty.

Funny topic. Nigeria is not a rich country. Yes, it's a blessed country, but rich? No. We don't have the money.
not for you.....for your politicians

The person that wrote this rubbish is a dindirin.
How can you compare a migrant worker to a citizen, and secondly Nigeria is not a rich country.

This simple sentence summarizes the

Nigeria is not a rich country. Qatar, Saudí Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Switzerland, Luxembourg, US are rich countries
Re: 6 Countries That Are Rich But Their Citizens Are Poor by Gerrard59(m): 11:56am On Feb 19, 2025
The first two are wrong because those migrant workers aren't citizens and would never be in the future. Rather, they are well paid considering they earn more than what they do back home. If so, the British people working in the UK are also poorly paid because back home, they are paid less than in the Middle East. It's a skill issue not a wage problem. There are almost no income taxes in some of these Gulf States.

The average Qatari, Emirati and Saudi Arabian lives a comfortable life comparable to those in the West or East Asia.
