The World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, while addressing participants at the Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, meeting in New York on Tuesday April 1st, said five countries, including Nigeria, make up two-thirds of the world's extremely poor people.
“The fact is that two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor are concentrated in just five countries – India, China, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. If you add another five countries — Indonesia, Pakistan, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Kenya – the total grows to 80 percent of the extreme poor.”
 “By extremely poor, we mean people living on less than $1.25 a day. And more than a billion people in the world live on less than that each day.”
And we are an oil producing country. We need a government that works!

Nawahooo the last time wt i saw on d net is dt Nigeria is be rated as third oil producer of oil in d world, richest in African. How come abt dis again. I dn tik dis is true. Togo should be first in African follow with others include  with foreign counteries nt Naija. Naija is nt there period. U plp should recheak it very well.

Guy wat they re talking about here is not the wealth ,but how the citizens live on it ,the wealth Nigeria has,how many of Nigerian re gaining of it,that is the question,the way u think about this topic is the same way i was thinking when i was in secondary school,in commerce when they teacher were talking about marketing ,that transportation is one of the disadvantage i was thinking ,what a hell the teacher was talking about upon all the cars and lorries in this country still an disadvantage of marketing ,not until i travel out uf the country and see things with my eyes,b4 i really understand clearly what the teacher was talking about, its the same question you ask here  bro,we are talking about model poverty,were people cannot lives in a good house or environment ,no portable water distributed by the govt to the people,no power supply equally,no good road,no good substantial medical centers ,nowadays how many youth re going to school in Nigeria, many cannot eat 3 square meals a day,securities are another big dilemmas in Nigeria, bro we need to expose.
