Only 8% of Nigerians Earn Above ₦250,000 - Ibrahim Suleiman by LoopyNigeria(op): 1:39pm On Aug 02, 2025
I saw this tweet on X, I think real data should be lower than that.

Apparently, only 8% of Nigerians earn above NGN250,000.

Omo. We are poor.

In a minute, in an hour, in a day, in a week, in a month, in a year? Which one?!

I assume you mean monthly.

Based on unconventional jobs, brown collar jobs, business and enterprise Nigerians earn so much in a day which the cumulative at the end of the month is huge, far above #250,000. #250,000 a month is just #8,350 a day. Start with Okada riders sef.

250k in a week, month or year?
Re: Only 8% of Nigerians Earn Above ₦250,000 - Ibrahim Suleiman by Day169: 2:01pm On Aug 02, 2025
This is probably a monthly salary and which may be true, considering a population of about 250 million people.
.. ie only about 20 million people earn that much considering the use of the term "multidimensional" to describe the country's poverty level. sad

Lol. I have travelled to Ghana, Morocco, Benin Republic, Egypt, and South Africa. I am currently traveling through the US.

Do you even know Nigeria has one of the cheapest petrol in Africa, yet we are so entitled. You want the government to keep subsidizing every gaddemn thing.

Guy Nigeria, is poor and most African countries are even poorer.

This accounts only for people running salary accounts. It does not include business people, artisans that earn wages and others that try not to use the banking system.

The tweet is false. For instance, in the SE all of them are billionaires. That's about more than 30 million people. Since to be billionaires, all of them will be earning more than 250k per month. That's already more than 30% of the population of Nigeria. Not to talk about the many deveropers that are helping us deverop Ragos. So, the tweet is totally false.

Nigeria is not rich.

Resource rich? Yes

Money rich? No.

A rich country would allocate about $5Billion to care for the health of around 1.5 million people per year. Nigeria budgets $1.3B for 200 million people lol

A rich country will budget about $3.5 Billion for education for 1.5million people per year. Nigeria budgets $2.1billion for 200million people.

Nigerian government would have loved to do more, but it is broke asf.
