This man has said the truth.

The economic reforms initiated by Tinubu were absolutely necessary.

What they fail to say is that India was able to life over 260 million people from poverty in 10 years. How long has APC been ruling?

SmartPolician:
If we have poor 89 million people and this country is not at war, we have so much to thank God for

However, religious and political leaders from the north are not helping us. Those folks need to grow some balls to tell their people to stop giving birth to children they cannot take care of.

How can alms begging be so popular in the north that they form associations and threaten to remove governors?

That's why politicians need religious leaders whose jobs include making the people see nobility in poverty to avoid violent revolution. They steer responsibilities away from politicians and channel the people's hopes towards God so that politicians can loot in peace.

That's Tinubu best achievement so far in over two years! I will rather vote goat come 2027 instead of Tinubu. As a Yoruba man, voting Tinubu for second time is like putting fire 🔥 on top of our roof

Nothing will make him come back in 2027.
The new tax law is thr to make the situation worst in 2026 again
It is obvious you did not read the article.

From the 5th to tge 20th paragraph, he said that the economic reforms implemented by tge Tinubu government should have been carried out a decade, that they were absolutely necessary.

Buhari failed to implement these policies, but rather did the opposite and the country is paying a big price for them today.

Nothing as true as this statement. But many sycophants here will attack the messenger soon
No they will not attack him, go and check his name. They will only attack if it was Peter Obi that said it. The messenger is from their region so they will start making excuses and start blaming it on northerners for having many children and start comparing us with other countries where there is high poverty rate. They will blame it on anything and anyone and leave Tinubu who created the poverty out of it. You should have known their ways by now.

For pretty much the same time! But while India is lifting tens of millions out of poverty in a decade, in the case of Nigeria all we get is propaganda, explanations, hot air and blaming PDP!

A people get the kind of gov’t they work for and deserve!

What else should we expect when the leaders are busy living in affluence and luxury and the poor are getting poorer. I don't think people should be surprised on this statistics because it has long been established in Nigeria where the citizens struggle to get almost all the amenities in life when the government is suppose to at least provide up to 40 or 50 percent for us.
Re: Nigeria Now Has Second-highest Number Of Poor People Globally - Yemi Kale by Kelklein(m):
If assuming he currently serves in this government or when he served, he wouldn't have the balls to come out and say the gospel truth that stares all of us in the face...

He would have come out here to tell us how Nigeria is currently the best place after Eldorado..

All of them are like that..

Dont be absurd. Are you saying with the bold that you will illegally migrate on a visa not meant for migration? A business trip or conference and then you go into hiding? What sort of bull is that.

While some people want tinubu to win a second term for doing nothing positive.

Yemi Kale, former statistician-general of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), says approximately 89 million people, are very poor.
Maybe Yemi Kale is married to the Anambra state Woman, they Tinubu to lose the election
Re: Nigeria Now Has Second-highest Number Of Poor People Globally - Yemi Kale by Angelfrost(m): 2:38pm On Oct 02, 2025
This is a lie, as usual...!

Toning down the actual figure won't change the facts.

Over 60% of Nigerians are incredibly POOR!

That's development brought by president Tinubu's reforms.

Maybe from there Nigeria could become number one poorest country in the world to win Guinness world record...

Statistics without context just to fool the gullible. Define poor? You can survive on $2 per day in 9ja but in China it would take closer to $4. There are more poor people in China than 9ja.

To clarify, 10% of Chinese population lives on less than $4 per day, that's approximately 140 million people, Indonesia about 55 million people, India about 80 million. Even in America we have over 40 million people in extreme poverty based on the standard of living.

Don't just spew stats but analyze it objectively!
