these 'external sources' as you call them have local offices in countries where they operate & these offices are staffed by mostly citizens of that country who are into research.


furthermore, academic & non-teaching staff from higher institutions also carry out research for most of these top research agencies.


so please, do not think reputable organisations just spew figures out of thin air (at least most of them don't)...

the same organisations that predicted nigeria would break up...?...

Agbaletu:
If you check my first post I didn't agree with the op.

sooo,thats reason enough for us to be argueing with each other because op came up with some numbers...??...

international agencies cant know the exact numbers....you have nigerians that can raise up n600.000 to go to libya...

its realy not easy to know the numbers...

tuniski:
Troubling reality and yet, some are still supporting this poverty govt of buhari!
Daura must receive Buhari come 2019.

we still dont want fee dee fee back...una can cry as una want....its una right....

Agbaletu:
I disagree with you. How do you classify someone that earns 1 million naira monthly, another one earns 500k monthly, another one earns 50k monthly...now compare them with a business owner with 10 - 50 million naira monthly turnover. Where do you place the looters in government?
I want to believe that the middle class still exists.
I think what we have in Nigeria can be categorised as follows:
The very rich
The rich
The middle class
The middle-middle class(let's pretend as if there is a compound word like that)
The poor
The very poor

and how you wan calculate all this people....were did he get his numbers from....??....were nigerians even conducted before putting up this numbers...??....how can he exactly know this numbers....??...was the federal goverment even asked...??..

it makes no sense putting up numbers....we dont even know exactly how many nigerians live today.....

nobody knows exactly...how about those abroad...?....they dont count...??

op is a confusionist....go look other threads that he opens....they all dont make sense...

Caseless:
what are you saying? I just tire for your matter.

that guy never makes sense to me......nothing is good...always bad mouthing day and night no matter how you try...

you rescue them from libya,they say you kidnapped them...

you try to fight crimes they say endsars....

you fight corruption they call you all types of names....

you rescue chibok girls they say its a scam...

then he comes with middle class...??....the guy never makes sense....

op is a confutionist anyways.....sooo,why should we even bother argueing about something like middle class...?....

Outofsync:
What exactly is so unbelievable about that though??

is it the millions of ASUU and Nasu members who are fighting over crumbs of money dividend?
or the Civil servants, some of which haven't received pay in over 3 months now that will break a middle class barrier.

Truth is, middle Class in Nigeria as of now is just a fancy term for "Poor but I still have change"

exactly...so we dont have to argue about middle class stuff....

nigeria is not a rich country like america....and with the problems we have with our way of thinking,i dont think its a good idea to be calculating middle class...for me,it doesnt exist....what we have is the very rich and the very poor....simple....

this matter is not about buhari no more...we already knew buhari...he was a dictator,...soooo what...??...who cares....

so long the job is done...we dont care...we elected him,he didnt came as a dictator...he competed and won...

sooo,whats the problem now...?...going after yorubas as if they owe you anything.....

yorubas dont have the right to deceide for themselfs....?...

who gave una the right to think for others...?...who begged una........

deji17:
It is a funny thing when Igbos that cannot build a political party beyond village level are postulating about Nigeria politics. That is definitely punching above their weights.
Na only mouth dem get.
They siddon there a minority tribe, Ijaw becomes the Presiednt while the Igbos continue to sing Marginaliation.

The Igbos might note get the Presidency for the next 50 years.

imagine....jonathan was not even igbo....i know they have another agenda...they want nigeria to be destroyed so that they can have their biafra....how can you propose somebody to become president that you already know is a failure....?....

now jonathan still failed...now they want atiku....which type nonesense is this......

diadem10:
What did we gain in the civil war? Lol..

Greedy folks who feels they can have jobs in SW region as well as have their people colonise the jobs in SE like Ojuwkwu and Zik envisaged is talking about selfishness? A case study was University of Ibadan where Zik appointed over 300 Ibos with only 4 Yoruba in the said schools yet you have the audacity to talk about selfishness?

The fact is we got what was fully our right! Yoruba took back their regional affairs from the greedy Ibos while the Hausa/Fulani took away the federal affairs from the greedy Ibos, such as the military Army.

Victim card playing self entitled weasels!

the way they make noise is confusing...no election...how can just deceide for another state just like that...?

we keep telling them that the old eastern region doesnt exist no more over and over again,they dont listen...

biafra was fraudulently declared anyways....sooo,whats their to argue about...??....

this write up is confusing....fee dee fee chairman....as if the yorubas care that much....fee dee fee is a shitty party....you cant tell us to just forget that boko haram nearly conquered half of nigeria while fee dee fee was in charge.....ridiculous amounts of money just diappeared just like that....

biafra...tahh,who is holding you back..??....forget the delta una said no....we dont want biafra una said we must,we have no other choice....

then insults day and night...if anybody dont agree with you,you call them afonja and deny them their identity...

you people vote fee dee fee,we vote apc....sooo whats the problem now..?...if nigeria is that bad according to una,then una can leave...nobody is forcing una to stay....

DWJOBScom:
after all the walks na still them go still collect bribe

...but atleast its a start....maybe we cant cure it,but we should be atleast against it....

ghostntommy:
And then very soon, you'll start hearing news about how the organizers embezzled the funds for the exercise.

This Nigeria wey we dey?

kikikikikiki.... ....you funny.....

SalamRushdie:
Check your closest ten friends including yourself and do the maths ..in your own work place the average income is 30k per month which is proof the reporr is accurate

i dont think so....it doesnt add up......

from 180mil people only that few...??...how many work for the goverment..?....and who deceides how to calculate middle class people...??...?..

can the same formula be used on china or india too....??...

Agbaletu:
Could this be true?
Only 803,200 individual earn $8.44 per day in Nigeria out of 180 million people, I doubt it.

you wan believe that guy...?...

how does this number make sense to anybody...?...

who forced una to enter the plane....?.....

you people were in libya without papers anyways....sooo,the libyans have no right to send una back home.....?....

how many of them realy had papers to stay in libya...?....

very good....

tell them.....this black selfishness must stop...or we shall all die here....

fakeprophet:
lol, and the pathetic broke Bubu asslicker called someone who is capable of providing his entire generations 3 square meal in a day a poor man

I spit on you zombie

3 square meal of poison in a day...we dont even care if you import everything no more that the locals dont even have jobs...

but are you ready to pay our monthly bills for us too...??....import....we dont have to work anymore.....but make sure that you dash us your cheaper imports for free......

import your cheaper poison....we dont care....but we no wan pay for the poison too....

i should pay to become a slave in libya too...??...una are not serious....

BankeSmalls:
How can we find out the names of those south west delegates who voted for Secondus? They sold us out over Wike money.

exactly...people do strange stuff for money...even going as far as selling each other.....africa was strong enough to protect blacks against slavery....but we didnt because of selfishness....whites cant defeat us in anything if we dont allow them....

SalamRushdie:
Tdarkside I am all about good governance , have u seen me criticise Ambode before? The truth is that you are the one that cares about yourself only and thats why you want such a bad leadership to continue just because od your personal gains ...If i was self centred I would never have camapigned against Jonathan because inder his govt my business flourished like no man s business but despite that when he couldnt stem wide corruption I had no choice but to start speaking up against him ..BUHARI is delivering the worst leadership on earyh today and it best he goes so Nigeria can have purpose

you must be crazy to reply the darkside....you think na just today i know you and what you always write...?....

you have nothing to discuss with me....

commoditiesnig:
Our over reliance on importation really affected our local production, manufacturing, agriculture & made industries moribund.

No country develops with so much importation, hence we need to encourage/support local production.

Happy Sunday all.

you could import everything,if you are that rich...but nigeria is not that rich.....thats the problem...

nigeria could say,okay we import everything and no school fees,no tax,subsidies petrol,homes free,social help,free electricity and so on....but we are not that rich....

just facts....

commoditiesnig:
The poster is right, my colleagues both 'tomato' rice for 13,500 last week.

Also LAKE rice sells for 12,000 (bought half bag a while back).. Just go to LTV blue roof or other designated outlets in Lagos to buy from next week.

that SalamRushdie guy is a noise maker...he doesnt care about others...only about himself....na playing oga stuff....

many nigerians have that mentality...they dont want others to be ogas too...

example is the libyan slave trade...who do you think dey lure gullible nigerians to libya...??...not the same nigerians...?

sars is hurting their business to stay ogas alone....thats why they want sars gone....

importing everything is a good idea...things are cheaper to produce abroad,but it can backfaire too....only the importers will be employed...

the rest will get nothing...we used sooo long to destroy local production...so teyy you have to teach nigerians again how to produce things theirselfs...if una loose una patience then una will return back to what una had before....goverment employing everybody...

thats not gonna work...nigeria is not that rich to play saudi arabia....

igbodefender:
Buhari is forcing the price of foodstuff down and the masses will soon begin to smile more. 2019 = reelection of Buhari. 2023 na Igbo time.

and a igbo will roll us back....very bad idea...people shouldnt vote according to ethnicities....very bad idea....

if a igbo understand how to lead,then it doesnt matter,then we vote a igbo....but to force a igbo to lead is a very bad idea....my own opinion.....

imagine how okoro would be as president.......then good night nigeria....

let igbos prove themselves already now than wait after they become president...they should prove to us already now that they are good leaders for the future....we already see them now as governors...and am not impressed....

who else do we have aside of buhari than osibanjo....i dont know any northerner....the west?,none than osibanjo...deltans none...easterners...??,you must be kidding....

signz:
Even if they don't get the presidency back 2019, they'll claim more guber and nass seats.

So don't write them off just yet.

then let them...our goal is to not forget the past.....forgeting the past will make you repeat it over and over again till you die out....

if you failed in the past,you shouldnt be giving another chance....something like leading is a dangerous thing to play with....it effects alot of people not only a few.......if apc fail,we shouldnt give them another chance too...we have so many parties.....why even bother...??....

AnodaIT:
And what would the nomination of a Northern presidential candidate make it?

It is called zoning my dear, stop thinking with your anus

zoning is a bad idea.....not every human being has the talent to lead.......copying european ways is a very bad idea for africa....
europeans have a agenda.....they know who they put up to lead....europeans still till today put up leaders according to bloodlines....
dont let them fool you....

thats why we always end up with very miserable people as leaders......

we should seek for leaders and not force everybody to be leaders.....

a yahoo boy was complaining about sars.....thats why we should get rid of sars...??.....and he was yoruba ooooo...

what does it matter even if all yorubas join fee dee fee today....??...

because of that we should forget what happened in the past and vote fee dee fee again...?....that dont make sense to me....

signz:
PDP will likely have a Yoruba as VP.

it doesnt matter....fee dee fee was buried....trying to revive it is ridiculous.....

Bari22:
PDP is eboos party. Final

thank you....we are not all igbos in southern nigeria......people should learn the difference...

especialy the yorubas should learn that...because igbos say ss&se day and night doesnt mean its true...

you are even insulting us deltans if you try....

boss01:
Make them dey control ss n se

learn to diffenrentiat....delta is not toghether with east.....
