The provided image is an infographic titled “POVERTY RATE UNDER EVERY ADMINISTRATION (1999-2026)”, attributed to @DataDriven3 with a source citation to the World Bank. It appears to be a compiled visualization rather than a direct official chart from the World Bank.30
The original online source of this specific infographic is an X (Twitter) post by the account @DataDriven3 (also referred to as DataDriven3), which has been widely shared and reposted across platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and Threads in recent days.
No single public webpage hosts the exact image as its primary content; instead, it originates from social media circulation, primarily on X. Multiple reposts reference the same @DataDriven3 attribution and World Bank sourcing.
Verification of Underlying Data
The World Bank provides official poverty statistics for Nigeria through its Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP) and related reports:
- The 41.8% figure aligns with the reported poverty headcount ratio at $3.00 a day (2021 PPP) for 2022.40
- Recent World Bank analysis (Nigeria Development Update, April 2026) indicates that poverty (measured against the national poverty line) rose significantly, reaching an estimated 63% in 2025, affecting approximately 140 million people. This supports the 2026 bar in the infographic.30
Note that the infographic appears to blend different poverty measures (e.g., international $3/day line for some years versus national line estimates for the latest figure), which can affect direct comparability. Historical data points (e.g., 51.1% in 2003, 38.5% in 2010, 35.8% in 2015) are consistent with broader trends reported in World Bank archives, though exact matching requires reviewing specific survey years and methodologies.
For the most accurate and up-to-date official data, refer directly to the World Bank’s resources:
