Pdp years when poverty went up from 54 to 62%

Okay...


Please don't behave like the data boys from apc

oya choose na. Simply say comparatively that APC years are better. Don't sit on the fence. state your position....and then we'll happily lay out the facts to support the position (I know I'll be happy to), e no supos hard na

Everything in life has a comparative ffs. Choose one is all we are saying. Stop being a politician na

Greatest SAPA result finally announced. Shame to Nigeria and its leaders. Bwala and Reno Omokri will be in defence mood now.

It's you that is the politican.

Me, I see poverty growing under APC, and PDP. You are here trying to make me vote for your own brand of poverty.

As for me, a pox on both your house and their house. Make una both learn by force.

Because the citizens don't have ❤️ for each other. Siiiiiiiince b4 JAGABAN ascended the throne.

Depending on the type of measurements used, I can even argue that about 90% of Nigerians are poor, or poor in a structural sense.

Even if you're a wealthy Nigerian, you have one of the weakest passport, weakest diplomatic coverage, and due to situations outside your control, you'll spend so much on educating your kids, accessing good health care, and security.

You'll live with some of the religiously dumb people who will make your life a living hell. The traffic (especially in Lagos) , hot sun that wants to roast you, and politicians that have sworn to disgrace and make life hell for you as time goes by.

Also there is no wealth security. You can be rich today and poor tomorrow, with downward economic mobility more likely than upward economic mobility.

The food you eat and the water you drink, even from so called Nafdac registered places can make you sick, and if you dare get sick, good luck with medicine and hope it's not fake, and the doctors not feeling like they are doing you a favour, while not giving excuse of no electricity.

All these makes the life expectancy of Nigerians very low, regardless of your wealth. Nigeria is indeed a poor country, and it's so sad to watch it get even poorer, and cheered by dumb citizens who would elect folks just because he is Yoruba and gave them a slogan to shout.

Renewed hope indeed.

Lies , lies, lies !

By the time tinubu left office as governor poverty rate was down to 40%, he met poverty rate in 99 at 53%, you guys should understand that 2027 is not 2023 , there is enough facts and AI to counter your lies and manipulation, tell your savour obi to get ready for primaries and grassroots mobilisation of voters and stop all these online content , it won't get you guys anywhere.

you didn't read the screenshot

Unfortunately, things only got better when Tinubu left office as governor... Go through the screenshot again

Ushame:

Let me respond to this once and for all , back then the Nigerian bureau for statistics wasn't publishing monthly or yearly stats for poverty index or other indexes , until around 2015 , so they did it every 2 to 3 years , by the time tinubu left office poverty index had greatly reduced even the world bank noted it ,if you want the article from world bank I will gladly publish it ,my issue with you guys is you forget data is very easy to get now thanks to LLM , obi that many of you are trying to tout as a better manager met poverty index at 41% under ngige and increased it by middle of his tenure to 54%, it reduced to 14% under obiano , would you now say he was a bad manager? Please read these screenshot below carefully.

Nigeria has been designated as poverty capital of the world, since time immemorial.

Putinofrussia:
I am sure that Tinubu will reduce the poverty level just like he did in Lagos.
Jonathan was 60% and Tinubu is 40% and will still get very low.
He is laying a foundation that wont allow Nigeria to never be a poor nation again.
Time will tell sha.

what manner of homoseipens are you lots? The so call reforms and policies that should translate to better living conditions are rather plunging the masses into multidimensional poverty. Imagine overtaking India with population of over 1 billion. This is the height of ineffectiveness, incompetent and massive fallure. Laying foundation like buhari led for 8 years without a single result . Foolish people defending failures

SIRTee15:
i dont think rossik/kemetian is nairalanda1.

that nairalanda1 is a clo....wn who thinks increasing revenue and taxing people to death will solve Nigerians problem. funny thing is he resides in uk. let him come and tell us how uk people are responding to the labour govt policy of increasing taxes.
or is it not because of tax tax tax and more tax u find thousands of british people running to dubai in droves.
Yet he will come here and tell us APC should replicate a failed model of increasing tax to generate revenue.

rossik is just a deluded afrocentrist who thinks the black race invented and created everything. I'm afrocentrist myself but dont believe in any afrocentricity supremacist agenda.

You would soon find out that those handles are from thesame person

These are the results of voting incompetent people into power..it's a pity

So this prosperity teaching is not working

Another achievement of the Tinubu and APC immoral government.

And some blindly ignorant people will keep praising the failure of Bola Tinubu. I met an ignorant woman yesterday who told me that Nigeria will enjoy the benefit of Tinubu's government only after Tinubu's 2nd Tenure, then I begin to wonder what benefit is there to enjoy when Tinubu's government has consistently failed to alleviate poverty in three years of government. Nigeria surpassing India in poverty is a total shame for the lackluster government of Bola Tinubu

Treadway:
when push came to shove you chose to sit on the fence. Fair enough.

Easy for me to say that based on the question posed by anonimi comparatively the PDP years were better, using every metric. Not about defending one side, it's simply about answering a simple question. Not hard at all. Line-up of three girls, which one is finer? You can't/couldn't choose, but it's fine.

Many people don't understand how these statistics and data works. It's not a simplistic measure. The data used by the world bank measures poverty globally not what poverty actually looks like inside a country.
When you convert the $3/day threshold, thus translates to $15/day for a family of 5. In many places in Nigeria that income would not typically be considered poverty. $450 a month is about 630k a month. Who would say that such a family living in Kebbi state is living in extreme poverty?

It's just a statistical tool for global comparison not a realistic measure of living standards within countries.

It rose from $1.90 to $2.15 and now $3
It's good to understand these data for what they are but 99% of Nigerians would not understand.

Many thanks for explaining the context of WB statistics on global comparisons of poverty.

Would you say that PDP gave us a better economy than APC has done for the past 11 years, as this is the issue at stake here?

A better economy anchored on deregulation and privatisation policies of 16 years.

Nigeria is finished under Tinubu

No wonder his son is launching RTIFN- relax, Tinubu Is FINISHING Nigeria to mobilise Stockholm syndrome afflicted people for next year reelection.

(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

poor simply means not having food to eat, no means of basic livelihood.

in order words

I think it means not doing what would create food for you, probably because you expected manna from where it comes from.

A better economy anchored on deregulation and privatisation policies of 16 years.

Most of the privatization in Nigeria was carried out before 2015. Over 100+ state enterprises were privatized or concessioned. The question is what is the state of these enterprises today?

Nitel/Mtel
Power generation and distribution
Steel and heaven industry (Delta Steel)
Banking assets
Cement and manufacturing
Ports

Between 2015 and now. There have been very few privatization of government enterprises. Some proposals are in the works.

While I don't understand the essence of the comparison because most of the privatization was done before 2015, I would say the privatization of government assets have been a failure in Nigeria.

Continue to defend

I don't know what's wrong with you guys

Whether it's a lack of empathy and compassion that's disturbing you guys, i don't know.

imagine wasting your thoughts human beings who have selective amnesia but cry out in pain while they know the source.
A lot of Nigerians are tired but we have more of fools than people with foresight

Somebody living on three dollars a day maybe poor in Lagos but is not poor in the majority of the country. That is over 120k a month. Most starting job offers for graduates are not up to that

Nigeria is in serious problem. The problems associated with poverty is what the country is witnessing now: kidnapping, banditry, yahoo yahoo, etc
