Imagine Nigeria running thesame failed system after this Pandemic Poverty rate will be around 60%. Lekki and most urban resident will join the statistics too. I hope those in power are making plans already cause they are too short sighted. Now, we should be asking what is the plan to rebuild this rotten country after this Pandemic 6 Likes 2 Shares |

I think the poverty rate in most urban areas are often underestimated, while the poverty rate in rural areas are often overestimated in Nigeria. This is a result of the definition of poverty which places emphasis on living below a certain amount of money daily However, the fact that the cost of living in most Nigerian cities are almost 100% higher than most rural areas in Nigeria is often neglected. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Davash222:Would it not be nice if comments are made with some level of objectivity rather than our rose-coloured glasses tainted with prejudice? This is what the article said: -- "The last poverty data released by the NBS was in 2010 when 60.9% of the population was living in poverty." --- Not that I believe their phony 40% figure. I believe the numbers are much worse than that even before the lockdowns. 2 Likes 1 Share |
