tkb, here is another survey of residents of Agege in 2003, conducted by Nigerians from the University of Ibadan, which you and myself will agree is by far the best and most reputable university in Nigeria and has no rival.

Obafemi Awolowo shytes on UI everyday of the year

70% of household incomes reported is less than N25K a month. With average household size being about 7, using the top of the range (assuming each household income is N25K on the dot), that is living on N120 per day

hahaha
the average salary of an entry level guy in a bank in 2003 was say 60k but today is about 150.

thats more than 100% increase

Sagamite, i am not Honeric oh

so if it was 25k in 2003, then allow for a 100% increase cos between 2003 and now, the country experienced some kinda boom which trickled down to the pockets of almost everybody. Im sure u know that was the time we had the emergence of the middle class that was not in existence in 2003

you agree with me?

hehehehehe

Sagamite, 25 k in 2003 is about 50k today

so factor that into your less than $2 dollar computation
what do we have researcher?

ok ok ok ok ok

no winner no vanquished situation here

can we look for another thread

Sagamite:
slowpoke, you are trying to switch subjects on me whilst I have rubbished you stewpid assertion? Farmers don't go to the farm almost every day?

And later you will say you did not say that and you can't see it when point out? Mugu!

Even tkb is turning it to a joke because he is seeing strong evidence on the ground.

see this guy
u no i no get power to argue back and forth cos ull never agree

when was the research in Abeokuta done Saga?

^^^
sagamite
add another 20k from side kicks

u have more than $2 a day

^^^

i agree

i think the remaining members should impeach the Guvnor today and also suspend the 9 members

@Sagamite

i don laff tire for the ijebu wey u type for there

u sabi speak Ijebu? i no sabi speak Ijebu at all

bad guy

honeric01:
Gradually, he's seeing reasons why some of us have decided not to believe the 70% living below $1 myth.

it will get to $5 a day soon

The ousted Reps should petition the Senate and Presidency

let the center declare a state of emergency in Ogun

let a new admin come and oversee the remanining 9 months and lets see how OGD would not die in prison

Sagamite:
How much would you say a farmer, mechanic or hunter in Ilaro earns a month?

2 things!!

The places you highlighed are turning to urban centers. I dont know how you see places like that, but the rural areas of yesteryears are now almost an urban center. I hope you know we have a Polythecnic in Ilaro

Back to your question

An average farmer in Ilaro earns money cultivating seasonal crops and engage in petty trading and side kicks (FACT). I cannot place a figure on it but i know a family of 4 in Ilaro wouldnt live on a dollar a day.


Lemme dance to your tune a bit. A farmer earns 14 a month, feeds 4 people abi
14/4 = 3,500 per person in the family

convert per day to a doallar and ur analysis show a person live on 0.78 USD per day

pls, give me a sensible analysis that show how such a person eat, pay for rent, send children to school, enter bike, buy clothes and cater for parents and other extended fam (which is normal in 9ja)

im only asking for a reasonable analysis and not what u have read somewhere or what you think is true. Tell me how they do it?

are you saying they dont own fones? they dont buy cards? they dont wear clothes? they dont pay for school fees? they dont buy cerelac for heir babies? they dont pay hospital bills?

what are you people chatting? i have seen, been at a forum where the country representative of World Bank and the country rep pf pwC argued back and forth on the stats the west bandy around. at the end, we all laffed at some of the stats cos not do they only sound ridiculous, they sound unrealistic and stupid in a way

Your perception about the level of poverty in Nigeria cannot be measured astrictly because of the way our society is fragmented and the unavailability of data. The unavailability of data is partly cos 70% of the income earned in the country comes from the informal sector.

The local baba alajo in Ilaro would tell you, the mechanic ure refering to as poor, has an ajo of over 300k in his coffers

how do you reconcile all these hidden figures with ur 0.76 cents a day jargon

ThiefOfHearts:
You are the one running after them o, which is why you're jumping to the rescue of another MAN in an argument.

Adodi!

are you for real or ure just 'loafing'

cos its getting irritating. would u exercise some restraints abeg

thanks

i thought Ibime and Mbulela said the debate was supposed to rubber stamp the bond thingy

The speaker i know CAN NEVER be a part of that bond scam

now the battle line is drawn, the 11 legislators that sacked the speaker and vetoed the bond have just written their names in the dark pit of hell

they should henceforth walk and look back intermittently as they and their fams are not safe

asswipes

so they think with all the negatives, people would be interested in the bond?

jokers

Most people's annual income will be between 10k and 14k, by the time you divide that by the size of the household, you come up with less than a dollar a day

lets see the research bro

i do research too and most numbers you people bandy around are erroneous

FACT!

lemme see the research works by the disinterested researchers

hahahaha

ur stats are faulty

lemme segment the people in Lagos for u

Civil servants - 20%
OPS -                15%
artisans     -      35%
beggars -           1%
unemployed        5%
under employed  24%


Thats how Lagos people are segmented (the artisans are the people in mushin, oshodi, mile 2, alaba et al)

so if i live in Ile -Ife, im living in a rural area?

or you joking

what about Ijebu Ode

u need to come down to 9ja fast



Otedola is broke- hes owing everybody

@Saga

Youre getting it all wrong

70% of the danfos in Lagos are owned by civil servants and teachers

FACT!!! ( Dont tell me to show you proof)

Most Nigerians live in rural areas. FACT.

whats your defination of a rural area

and who told u Femi otedola can buy a yatch today?

hahaha, dude cannot even sleep; u talking abot buyin a yatch

@sagamite
i tot of buying Hiace buses to run lagos/Abuja routes years back but dropped the idea when the vibes frm my folks were negative

Point is, many people i know in Nigeria do a lotta informal things to make money aside


u don get my new YIM?

ThiefOfHearts:
*waka*

abeg tkb, come get your husband.

First gay marriage on NL

we have progressed

hmm

i have promised not to curse again

Sagamite is my senior not my husband u rat


@Sagamite
ol boi, add me on my new YIM make i give u low down

story

the boi is bad off the field but scoring goals on the pitch

im a Man U fan, not Wayne Rooneys fan. If he likes, he bangs the nuns at the next cathedral
ko seyi to kan mi

all thse trophyless, laurel less, silverware less arsenal players/fans wont go and start praying and fasting to win stuff
na amebo den go dey do up and down

awon alakori

one would know the 9 memmbers know thier actions are null and void

they are just scheming to cause unrest in the house so they can perpetrate their evil acts

i expect the Police to withdraw the security detail to Egbetokun; if na me be speaker, this is the time to run to abuja cos the Emperoh might hack him down anytime from now

^^
lol

ill be back tmr hopefully

lost the BB to thieves and travelled. back now

and so if he/she is the most popular Nigerian

how dt affects the price of ata rodo in the open market beats me

@People

i cant read back

what are you people saying?


@Topic
70% of Nigerians dont live on less than $1 dollar a day

Its a lie

oya Sagamite, 4play, sevsule, Tensor


what are u people saying
that after all expenses, after paying for ur rent, ur transport, ur childrns school fees, recharge cards, and others, what is left is less than $1 a day

and so ffcking what?

some rcih men actually have negative bank balances

not sure Femi Otedola sees profits at the end of the month

the bottom line is an average Nigerian can afford to eat meals, make fone calls, buy clothes, send children to school

thats the koko

one was murdered recently (soboma), this one wants to commit suicide
its fine. so far all of them die one by one
