To me, Nigeria is indisputab­ly a low income country. The larger percentage of citizenry and invariably the workforce earn a miserable N18, 000 per month. The amount can hardly take care of their basic needs. The general explanatio­n as to why I consider Nigeria a low income nation is increasing servitude, starvation and low wages. I am equally not unmindful of the life expectancy which still stands at 47 years, the inaccessib­ility of potable water, high mortality rate, diseases and child labour. Of course, these are features of a low income nation.
