Nigeria Houses Poorest People In The World, Says Theresa May In South Africa by OBAGADAFFI(op): 9:45pm On Aug 28, 2018
Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has branded Nigeria home to the "poorest people in the world".

The statement is coming a day ahead of her scheduled visit to the country.

The Prime Minister made the assertion while delivering a speech in South Africa, Cape Town, on Tuesday.

May, scheduled to visit Nigeria on Wednesday, added that Africa has the highest number of poor people in the world, with Nigeria being the poorest
.

She said: “Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live on less than $1 and 90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation in the world."

According to her, the focus is to achieve "inclusive growth", noting that UK would invest in Africa to create more jobs to combat poverty and at the same time tackle global challenges.

Britain has contributed to the high rate of poverty in Nigeria, supporting lifeless, myopic and unintelligible leaders into power that would always do their bidding since 1960. stealing oil from the ND and giving peanuts to the governments. useless neocolonialist power. angry
