Those saying Nigeria is poor should list countries that are rich in Africa, Asia, and Europe along with the metrics and criteria used to determine poor and rich countries.

Income per head

Get their budget and divide by official population to get an idea

Nigeria Air matter?

A001:

Nigerian leaders obviously don't believe the country is poor. And they're actually right.

Economists generally rate Nigeria as one of the richest countries in Africa based on metrics such as GDP, GNI per capita, number of millionaires.

If the largest economy in Africa is poor, then all African countries are poor.

List the richest countries in Africa and the metrics used for the ranking. How do these countries compare with others in Europe, America, and Asia based on those metrics?

No long talk, get the budget of the country and divide by population that will give an idea of our standing

Are you willing to do that?

There are countries who made 80% of our revenue but have just 5% of our population

If you can calculate our income per head that will be helpful

Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa, is poor yet her politicians are among the highest paid in the world. As I said earlier, only the ignorant ones and hypocrites say Nigeria is poor.

Our leaders who know the situation of things much more than you and I don't believe that. Or have you seen your darling Tinubu proposed any austerity measures as it's expected from poor countries?

No.

Did he make any move to cut down on state spendings? No.

He's going about the business of governance just like past leaders did even during the oil boom. There's an office for the First Lady that will have many staff under her.

Throughout Tinubu's tenure, that office will gulp billions, if not trillions, of naira.

There might soon be an office for the First Daughter as well in an unprecedented development.

Does that look like how a poor country operates to you? It seems you know more about the country's financial resources than those running the government.

Keep chanting the country is poor all about while your leaders like Tinubu continue to receive some of the highest allowances in the world and stealing billions of naira now and then.

The country is poor for the masses, but not for the politicians.

If Nigeria — the largest economy in Africa — is poor, then all countries in Africa are poor as well.

Seankafor also wants to be Russian. So that's Russianization of the world by Putin

Of course Africa is Poor, it's the Poorest continent after all.

You are speaking from the domain of Emotions, I'm talking to you based on fact and reality.

The reality that Nigeria is a poor country is not a misnomer, it's a hard base facts!!!

Tinubu can create the office of first son, first daughter or first uncle, it will no change the fact and reality that you live in a very poor country.

You are the Largest economy in Africa but have the lowest revenue to GDP ratio in the world.

South Africa spent has much money on Just education Alone as the Whole Nigeria Budget in a year.

Just think about that for a minute, the Total Nigeria Expenditure for a year is what South Africa spend on Just their Educational sector.

And no, the Government Spending problem we have is not the Purview of Tinubu, Maybe you forget but they are three arms of Government.

The Nigerian executive spending does not even ranked in the Top ten in Africa, Heck the Nigeria President is one of the least paid in the world, The Nigerian president earn less than Ghana, Kenya and even Ivory coast and yes I'm including the allowances.

But we have the highest paid legislator in the world and there's nothing the president can do to limit their spending, we the electorate need to start putting and applying pressure on our senator's and rep member to limit their spending, because right now we are channeling our grievances to the wrong source.

I've already stated clearly Nigeria is one of the richest countries in Africa based on criteria like GDP, GNI per capita, number of millionaires.

You said Nigeria is poor, and I asked you to list rich countries in Africa, you can't.

Lol, na, e get different set of reasons for loving Russia/Putin, na wetin e give as e reason to convert for Nigeria I dey talk.

Shaytun:


Nigeria is not among the richest country in Africa, Maybe you don't know what you are talking about.

GDP is not a measure of how rich a country is, don't be poor in economics.

Stop throwing around economics abbreviation and parameter's you know nothing about, you will sound f**lish.

Shaytun:


The best way to judge will be to look at GDP (PPP) per capita.

You can go through the list and see where your beloved country falls.

A001:
Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa and largest producer of crude oil on the continent and one of the largest in the world, is poor. If that's so, all African countries are poor including South Africa.

Selling a false narrative to cover up for the thieving politicians. Or is there another meaning of poor we don't know?

A001:

Are there rich countries in Africa? Mention them. Let's see how they compare with other rich countries from other continents.

I'm sorry to bust your bubble but you are not God, Just because you want something to be, wouldn't make it to be.

I can proclaim myself as the richest man in the world, but when I go to the bank to withdraw my money, reality will hit me in the face.

So you need to adjust your reality that the country you live in is a very Poor country.
