In 2004, more than 68 million Nigerians were living in poverty with zero number of billionaires in the country. By 2010 these figures have risen: the poor to about 113 million & the number of billionaires from zero to two. That means for every additional billionaire that is made into the Nigerian Forbes’s list, there are about 22 million Nigerians that slipped into poverty.Is this a coincidence? That the cost of producing a Nigerian billionaire is the shoving of over 20 million Nigerians into poverty?
