The National Bureau of Statistics on Monday said 40.1 per cent of Nigerians live in poverty.
The bureau said over 82.9 million people in the country earn below the poverty benchmark of N137,430 per year. The data, contained in the NBS’ Nigerian Living Standard Survey report, was gathered between September 2018 and October 2019. “In Nigeria 40.1 per cent of the total population were classified as poor,” the NBS report said. “In other words, on average, four out of 10 individuals in Nigeria have real per capita expenditures below N137,430 per year.
“This translates to over 82.9 million Nigerians who are considered poor by national standards. It is important to note that this number excludes the state of Borno.”
only one state for north can beat this ur stats

ImKamaluddeen Well the remaining 40% cannot afford to bail you out of your statistical misery.... Its 80% halfwit
May just be a modest figure. I guess it's far higher. My own estimate is between 60 and 70%. Let's be realistic for once. The standard of living index does not suggest anything lower.
No research, fake

It is more than that!
Sorry this is a mistake, over 75% of Nigeria Live in poverty

Twitter was on fire I think yesterday, lots of Nigerians were making fun of how poor Ugandans are, I told them that you had few coins to buy smartphone and data for twit doesn't mean Nigerians are rich, greater population of Nigerians are living in poverty
The process has failed us..
Your Stat is wrong!. 80% live in poverty. Over 160 million people are poor. 😭
