Kenya overtook nigeria because most nigerians can't even afford to buy the second hand clothes, infact the primary need of more than half of nigeria population is how to eat atleast a meal for a day and not about clothes as long as there are old clothes he can wash and wear.

means Nigerians are now walking naked?

Something like that.

Kenya is just about 55 million people, that is less than 25% of Nigeria, if they are now importing more used clothes, then something positive is happening

what of Ghana that was second in importing used cloth in 2023. Does it mean 95% of Ghanaians can't afford new cloths.

So Nigerians eat and go naked? Kenyans have a better standard of living and they opt for used clothes? Review your comment and humbly ask us to tell you what caused the drop for Nigeria. In fact it's positive.

Unfortunately, Muslims no dey like spend money. So nothing there

I go use am for one of my friend's profiles... before any MOD gets ab erection..

My friend travelled and asked me to take care of his dog, his social media and his babe.

How you take get your facts say Muslims no dey spend money? During Ramadan, sales of food items including beer parlour activities dropped Some food vendors even decided not to cook at all meaning it's Muslims that are patronising those people. I am not a Muslims but I don't like seeing people make assertions they can't substantiate.

Nay......imports are expensive which is positive for the local industries. Local tailors and textile makers are making more money. This is positive for government policies. Don't bring hatred. This is economics.

Bunkum news.

What's the population of Kenyans?

that is not the point. The summary is that every business is going down in Nigeria. Before dangote and NNPC refineries started working, amount of fuel import dropped because many people dumped their vehicles due to high price of fuel, number of used car imports dropped due poor sales. Many companies declared loss in trades, some closed down etc. Kenya overtook Nigeria simply because Nigerians no see money buy anymore

But it is significant.

If Kenya with a smaller population than Nigeria imports more second hand clothing than Nigeria, it means multi dimensional poverty is much greater than in Nigeria.

If you adjust importation of used clothing against population - many countries have a greater degree of poverty than Nigeria.

Simply looking at GDP per head is not the only or the most accurate definition of multidimensional poverty.

This is not bad news for Nigeria. We are not in a race to the bottom.
