Poorest Countries In The World

Sometimes, we think our country is bad, but then things like this list of the poorest countries in the world sort of put things in perspective, don’t they?

The sad part is that most of the top poorest countries in the world are in Africa. *sigh* The International Monetary Fund defines which countries get on the floor by listing them according to purchasing power per capita.

1. South Sudan

South Sudan is one of the poorest countries with one of the weakest economies in the world. The country has minimal infrastructure and as at 2011, it reportedly had the highest maternal mortality and female illiteracy rates in the world.

2. Burundi

Burundi’s current state is possibly the aftershocks of its ethnic based civil war. It is a small, landlocked country with an underdeveloped economy. Apparently, most of the population relies on subsistence farming to survive. The poverty rate in Burundi is high, education rate is low, and  1 in 15 adults have HIV.

3. Malawi

With bad governance and a HIV pandemic, Malawi is reduced to where it sits now – the third on the world bank’s list of  poorest countries.

4. Central African Republic

The Central African Republic is one of the poorest countries in the world, the country lacks basic infrastructure, with only 476km of the roads in the country are paved. It has no railroad, limited international air service, and no international air service.

5.  Niger

Niger Republic is a landlocked country with a large portion of its land being covered by the Sahara Desert. Poverty is very rampant in Niger, as its citizens battle hunger and access to water everyday.

We do hope that things get better for Africa soon. Which of these countries have you visited before now?

BREAKING: Italy Economy Enters Into Recession

The Italian economy contracted in the fourth quarter of 2018, dragged down by slowing European growth and global trade tensions, plunging the country into a technical recession, official data showed Thursday. The 0.2 percent contraction — following a 0.1 percent fall in the third quarter — will put pressure on the populist government in the eurozone’s third largest economy, which took power in June on the back of big-spending electoral promises. Italy is Europe’s second largest manufacturer and is currently the only European Union member in recession, although growth in export powerhouse Germany also fell in 2018. The Italian economy suffered a harsh recession in 2012-13 and has enjoyed only slow growth since then. Overall growth for full-year 2018 was just 0.8 percent. Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte had anticipated the bad news on Wednesday during a business conference in Milan. “Analysts tell us we’ll likely still suffer a bit at t...

Few days ago, I was privileged to have MTN visit my school which gave me the opportunity to engage in a discussion with some of their staffs got engaged in a discussion. After interacting with some of the MTN staffs, I just got more enlightened about MTN Pulse plan and I decided to share this with you all reading this. MTN Nigeria has had quite the number of tariff plan in the last few years that has helped us in a specific area that we needed help the most. You remember MTN Zone tariff plan, this tariff plan was meant for those who needed to spend less on making phone calls. We also had TrueTalk and the rest that served us well. Throughout the course of these few years, we have seen some of our beloved tariff plans get wiped out of the system by our network provider. The reason for this is best known to them as the only thing that we can do is to either lament or face the fact and move on. If you are a very huge fan of the MTN network, I must give it to you that you are really tr...
