Oh really?
At any point in this analysis, did it cross the OP mind to factor this as a percentage of the actual population of both countries?

Don't mind him. His perpetual hatred of Peter Obi did not allow him to understand the message.

From the year 2000 to 2020 . China has pulled out almost 800 million of her citizens out of poverty. That is almost 80% of the citizens that their population is 1 billion people.

Poverty is now a history in China. China has say bye bye to poverty. Chinese communist party (CCP ) has done a very good job.

Back to the topic. Nigeria and India are undisputed poverty capital of the world.

Also, India's population is at least ten times that of Nigeria, therefore Nigeria has more people living in extreme poverty per thousand compared to India

The question now is,

1. Should we now be proud that the figure is lesser than that of India?
2. If the statistics is right, what measures have been put in place to enrich the lives of the poor one?
3. I know some of us will want to politicize the politics, but my own is earning 800NGN per day in Lagos let say Obalende still the same in Shiroro, Niger or Onicha in Ebonyi states respectively.



Bearing in mind that the statistics is always skewed up

It's obvious you're really enjoying your poverty

You need deliverance

Instead of you to be talking about how to get Nigeria out of this poverty, you're writing epistle to defend the poverty....

Shame on you OP. You just rushed here to say India could not get proper data dues to poverty, does Nigeria have proper data for anything? Anything at all. It had to take an international organization to tell us that Nigeria has more than 10million children out of school. You go to the streets and people are literally complaining, the price of every single thing has increased and you have the mouth to come and be dragging poverty level. Chai. undecided You see all this urchins who's job is to to whitewash their pay Master, may God visit you people with problems your pay Master cannot solve.

As a matter of fact, inflation alone has worsened within the past one week. People who sell retail items returned from market today lamenting that they can't possibly make profits on old stock based on current prices.
It seems the indices of daily life are being deliberately doctored to ensure that suffering is inevitable.
If this is not the case, what policy that actually lifts people out of poverty has been executed by the present junta? I am not talking about announcements of how government will do so and so or is about to do so and so.

If Peter Obi truly stated that Nigeria has more poor people than India and China combined as stated in the article, then he goofed. What remains true is that: Nigeria has the highest number of poor people in the world. And with GDP growth being so anaemic at below 5%, expect the number of poor people to balloon in the coming years. At least, India is in Asia where the rest of the continent has fairly high GDP growth rates unlike Nigeria where there are more shitholes than anywhere else.

Whoever came up with this fact check need to check further.
What is the population of India to Nigeria?

India is over a billion and Nigeria is a little below 200million.

Now the fact-checker says over 150k out of over a billion lives in poverty in India and in Nigeria over 95k out of 200million.

Now critically analysed the above scenarios to tell me where there is more poverty because as far as I am concerned...there is more poverty in Nigeria.

The OP is a very dull fellow honestly
It lacks basic comprehension

China and India has over 1 billion people, while Nigeria has 200 million.

Their poverty ratio stands at below 10% while that of Nigeria is about 50%.

How did he goof?

Compared to the population of the countries, he is right.

50℅ of 200m Nigerians live in extreme poverty (half of the population live in extreme poverty)

13℅ of 2.8Billion Indians + Chinese live in extreme poverty. (Just a little above 10℅ of the population live in extreme poverty)

Which of the two scenarios will you see more poor people?

You don't look at the figure but the ratio to the population.

I dont trust Peter Obi for a second. I am very sorry.

As the gov of ANAMBRA, how many indigenes of his state did he alleviate from poverty?

Anambra is not different from any other state in Nigeria.

What makes Peter think, he is different from oda Naija evil leaders?

Anambra doesnt have a beta roads, power, edu, etc than oda states.

Anambra is just like most Nigerian state.

Their business acumen has been dia before Peter O became a govt.

Make him no claim that one o.

Verdict
Nigerians this guy @ Peter Obi is not diffrent form every other evil Nigerian politician in the Country.

Be wise.

Our Mumu don do.
