Yes, in 2015 - 7yrs ago, Kenya poverty figures was @1.90 a day was at 36%.
7yrs after, in 2021, only 16% of pp lives below the poverty line.
You can't be pro data then disregard statista.

Shma:

Also, the curve is descending. I anticipate a shocking figure in the next 5 yrs with the same trend. 2005 - 2015, the gap drastically reduced with a whopping 10%

Shma:


Rvp is 100% correct.

Unless comprehension is not your forte.

Kenya's extreme poverty is not 37% - it is 16% just as RVP is telling you.

Stop this unnecessary argument.

Shma:


Your rage is not coming from WB source. It's how I've called things as they are while quoting samboro. I have no apology for that if your nerves were hurt, sorry(for not apologizing).

Secondly, I quoted jl115 with 2015 figures to debunk his 37.9% rate - which he didn't Back-up with any reliable source.
QM:
With the descending curve.
2005 - 46•8%
2015 - 36•1%

How the hell can the figure pump once again in 2022 to a whopping 37•9% when the curve in those 10 good consecutive yrs has been going down?

Statista, a source that has been countlessly used to prove things here, it has a 2021 poverty rate data at 16%, you can't disregard it.

Had to embolden all the years to save you from sinking deep into the miasma of confusion.

jl115:

I'll stick with WB figures thank you very much, since it is an actual organisation that does studies and research, where as statista is just a website that reposts statistics, not unlike Wikipedia in fact.

bru why are you constantly quoting me?

jl115:
Yes and South Africa's decreased by nearly 10% as well between 2005 and 2015.

jl115:

Presenting statista as a source vs the World Bank?? are you good bro?

Your poverty is 37% according to the latest WB figures!!

Statista collects and integrates data from different sources then they come out with their findings. They don't just dig data in their bat.
Statista GmbH (Hamburg) collects and aggregates data from multiple public and private sector sources, including ACTA, AWA, Euromonitor, Gfk, Outfit, Scarborough, Simmons, Target Group Index and VUMA


We're in 2022, not 2015. You cannot use 2015 data to prove anything. At least 2018, for Nigeria, it makes a little bit of sense, Boer.

chrisooblog:
Can't I comment on what you posted again? Geez man it's too early in the year to be paranoid

Shma:


Which latest figure? 2015? . Please, drop the link.
Even with your link, Kenyan data is 7yrs old. Too outdated to justify anything in 2022.

jl115:
you quoted me 3 times on the same post bru?

jl115:
"Another important message is that, as Kenya urbanizes, cities are not providing enough
economic opportunities for urban households to improve their income levels and obtain adequate standards of living. Despite a
drop in the growth rate caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the international poverty headcount rate is expected to
continue its decline, but only at a moderate rate to 33.1 percent in 2020 and 32.4 percent in 2021."

see my other post with your 2020 and 2021 poverty figures

chrisooblog:
So? still trying to figure out the point you are trying to make

Shma:

Why should I do it? No link, no report on its findings, no nothing just a mere write-up.

Now that we've tackled your other shenanigans, you're just about to defend this blog to your grave. while at it, dispute Statista- one of the most reputable sources which says our poverty rate as of 2022 is 16%. Or do you just believe countries with black-ridden economies were never bound to develop?

Shma:


I don't do blogs. I want a properly documented survey by the world bank - recorded in their servers. If you can't provide that then you have no room to lecture anyone about citations.

jl115:
Follow the conversation.......rvp was saying Kenya's poverty level was 17% when in actual fact it's closer to 40%

Shma:


Baboon, don't reason like a dolt.
We need to be realistic here. Let's not play around with ignorance. Nigeria has nearly 8 times morocco's population with a paltry $2000 GDP per capita. You can't overlook per capita because the only way a small populated nation can compete with a huge one is through per capita.
Morocco has a whopping 3,009.25 USD per capita. What can you say about that?

The gap in pp btw Morocco and Kenya is a mere 12k. Too little to be significant.

theenchanter:
Nigeria is roughly 4x ur population, why is ur per Capita still lower than Nigeria's?

theenchanter:
they're 5, not 3.

The way u call them tiny because they have bigger per Capita than u is the way we see u small in that regard, nothing special.

jl115:
great we making progress
