JUST IN: 91 million Nigerians now living in extreme poverty

Mayowa Tijani in On the GoTop Stories



Over 91 million Nigerians are now living in extreme poverty, TheCable can report.

TheCable understands that at least three million Nigerians have slipped into extreme poverty between November 2018 and February 2019.

According to the World Poverty Clock, created by Vienna-based World Data Lab, 91.16 million Nigerians were living below a dollar a day as of February 13, 2019.

In June 2018, the Brookings Institution projected that Nigeria had overtaken India, as the poverty capital of the world, with 86.9 million extremely poor people.

This was further confirmed by the British Prime Minister Theresa May, who said Nigeria had become home to the largest number of very poor people in the world, putting the figures at 87 million.

“Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live below $1 and 90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation in the world,” the UK prime minister had said.

Since May made this observation in South Africa in August, the number of Nigerians living in extreme poverty has grown to 91.16 million, with six people falling into poverty every minute, according to Brookings Institution.

Today, India has 48.7 million people living in poverty, from 73 million in June 2018. By implication, India has pulled out a minimum of 24 million people from poverty in less than eight months.

ARE YOU LIVING IN EXTREME POVERTY?

According to the World Bank, a person can be said to be living in extreme poverty, if they live below the poverty line of $1.90 or N693.5 per day.

The bank in its explanation of poverty levels said “when estimating poverty using monetary measures, one may have a choice between using income or consumption as the indicator of well-being”.

“Most analysts argue that, provided the information on consumption obtained from a household survey is detailed enough, consumption will be a better indicator of poverty measurement than income”.

However, using the World Bank’s poverty line, if you live below $1.90 a day, you will be classified as living in extreme poverty.

Answer his simple question. He didn't insult you.

With less than $100b oil earning in 4 years, we now have: Lagos Ibadan Railway, Abuja Kaduna Railway, Warri Itakpe Railway, Loko Oweto Bridge, Port Harcourt International Airport New Terminal, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport New Terminal, at least 10 revived fertilizer blending plants etc. The entire country is a construction site: Enugu Onitsha Expressway, Port Harcourt Enugu Expressway, Sapele Abraka Obiaruku Agbor Road, Auchi Okene Lokoja Abaji Expressway, Ore Ajebamidele Ogbere Sagamu Expressway etc.


Kindly name PDP's projects in 16 years. Don't forget that PDP earned $782b from oil between 1999 and 2014. What am I even saying? In fact, just confirm to me that PDP has completed its National Secretariat Building after raising over N25billion for that purpose.

Omooba77:
Go and check you booj, how all these projects you mentioned have been funded. The rail Lagos state government has been doing for the past 12 years, how far has it gone!

Lifeless APC govt next level achievement.

j1mmy:
There was a report by the United Nations a few years ago that humiliated and embarrassed India (as an emerging economy-like China) - The Indians considered that report a global setback for them, and since then they are doing everything (not to change poverty in India) but to use fake news to adjust the reality.

India has not reduced any poverty...na lie! Most of its 1.3 billion population live in more poverty than the poorest African countries.

India has always got a pass from the western media when it comes to negative reporting (poverty, rape, illiteracy, caste system, arranged marriages, crime, no toilets) - rather than fix the issues they always make arrangements with western media to concentrate on Africans instead!

Is Buhari the governor of Lagos? Where did I talk of Lagos state government?

How were the projects funded Mr. Information Minister?
