Goel:

For every extreme poor person, India has 40 people out of poverty. It has 1/6 of world's population and is like a separate mini-world. You can't compare India to any other country in terms of numbers. Use percentages.

Other factor that also plays a role is quality of statistics. Unlike war-torn Africa, India has regular and well organized census covering every citizen. In Africa's case data wasn't reliable and hence, Nigeria and DRC may already be having more poor people than India. Many African nations don't know their real populations.

Indian system is more effective to tap its poor. So, when India will release 2021 census data, it will find much more poor people than World Poverty Clock data.
So don't worry, India will most likely itself come and say that it still has bigger number of poor people (doesn't care what is quality of data of Africa, nor Indian people do).

Tough luck for naija if India also finds similar data about itself or stops covering extreme poverty ($1.9/day) to move to $4-4.5/day revision.

Hope you know Africa is not wartorn? That narrative is as ancient now as the kama sutra! There are few wartorn countries in Africa but the vast majority >90 % are peaceful. You gave two examples so perhaps you meant the two.

what the office does is assess economic stats, analyze it and send to d center in Langley, Virginia.

Note: they're not really interested in d economics of those countries, they only care about how it may affect the security of US or to check for excesses.

So in other words they research the economies of other nation....

JaceBlaze:
The statistics have confirmed that in 2019 Nigeria overtook India in poverty,making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.I need an expert like you to explain to me how a country can be a poverty capital of the world and brag about the largest middle class at the same time.

What shocks me is that you will hear some saying that their middle class is rising at the same time when poverty is rising. How is that possible. Unless the middle class is being boosted by the super rich dropping down the ladder.

Where are the new poor people coming from? If poverty is rising it means people who were previously in middle class are now becoming poor, because the poorest cant become anything else, and the poor were poor anyway so the rise in poverty has to be coming from elsewhere

Nigeria has the largest number of people living in Africa, the largest number of people living in poverty, and also one of the largest middle-class population in Africa.

Its all about numbers.

My dude, worry more about the direction the population is heading. We know you got giant things
But the new capital of poverty thing

The southy guy keeps embarrassing himself, he went as much as showing knight Frank global wealth ranking to justify why is country is consider rich forgetting that those not count anywhere in economic theory. what averagely suggest the wealth of a nation as we currently have still remain GDP per capital.

Sensei vaxx doesnt even know when he's not helping his apprentice just30. Look at the bolded and tell the internet world how that supports his cause in any way, when Ghana and Nigeria both have worse gdp per capita than SA.

Typical of black South Africans...always blaming foreigners for their misfortune..
As if South Africa is the only country in the world that has foreigners..

As usual the normal black South African ostrich syndrome!
Facts on ground shows South Africa has few doctors, about 0.7 to every 1000 people. So all your people have got are the low paying jobs and if you can't even compete with dregs from other African countries for such jobs in your own country, then you are finished. Little wonder the xenophobia and violence.

Of course, the resources of South Africa are owned by South Africans! It's just that nine out of every ten poor South African are black. In actual sense, the white South Africans own your resources.
Thank you for agreeing that the Nigerian economy is Africa's largest. If it has done nothing for Nigerians then by now Nigeria should be as poor as DrCongo or Ethiopia. It is hard but we would have been worse without that large economy. And we built it ourselves, unlike South Africa that is built on the ingenuity of settlers. You can see how badly South Africa is doing since you stupid lazy blacks took over.
Pain, pain, pain. This doesn't change the fact that your country has a higher HIV AIDS prevalence than Nigeria.

Did'nt expect anything better to be honest. My question still remains unanswered, have you ever heard of South African doctors, accountants etc complaining about their jobs taken from foreigners? If your hungry brothers are willing to be paid R250 on a job that pays R1000 that's hardly competition that's desperation, whether we have 3 doctors it's relevant.

Yes, despite your number one economic status, Nigeria is still a cesspit and it's still beset by rampant poverty, your economy has done nothing for an average Nigerian, argue till you turn beige blue! your number one status is just a title you'll forever flaunt but without substance, you aren't even at Namibia's level, so using the excuse that you built your country by yourself doesn't cut it South Africa was built and continues to be developed by all who love in it.

It's amazing that the same "lazy people" beat you in virtually in every indice be it sanitation, electricity, water, literacy, etc they mine the gold and diamond that's the cornerstone of their economy, they are constructors of the infrastructure you see in SA, they are engineers, accountants, etc and they have become the biggest middle class in a short space of time.

Didn't know there was a competition of who's has the most HIV. The fact that you have the highest number of babies born with the disease in the world should alert you you're sitting on a time bomb, that should tell you many of you are sick and don't even know, ..with all your prime economic status, you still lack the sophisticated testing system that South Africa has, that's why we know our status, you chumps still don't

JaceBlaze:
You can say that again

yeah, they be going on about other's poverty when theirs is ten-fold and mock others about HIV when it's busy ravaging their babies. Don't understand these people

This is painful truth. Nigeria has the highest rate of poverty increase anywhere in the continent. Am sure today three Nigerians on this thread are dropping below the poverty line.

no, they don't research economies of nations, they receive data on economies of nations from independent sources, analyze and send to Langley. If they research, they should be having reports on economy of nations every year like every research bodies does.

Stop spinning urself like a barber's chair.

Chanter i think you guys are speaking the same stuff..CIA does receive an also do research on Economies of countries

As an Economic Analyst for the CIA, you will assess foreign economic, trade, and financial interests that affect US security interests. Economists working in regional offices focus on a range of macroeconomic and microeconomic issues facing the country or region they cover, while economists working transnational issues take a broader, global approach to such matters and tend to delve more deeply into technical details. You may also assess illicit financial activities, including terrorist and criminal networks, money laundering, or foreign corruption.

me think coz we have heard naija middle class in expanding an at the same time naija poverty is increasing then it must be the newborns who are poor....thats the only explanation...look my Nigerian friends dont hate me coz given same scenario y'all would reach at the same conclusion
