No, most stats Peter Obi gave at the EU session are accurate or fair approximations:
- Nigeria pop ~242M (2026) is ~half the EUโs ~450M โ correct.
- Africa: 2nd largest continent by size & population โ yes.
- ~60% of Africaโs population young (under 25) โ standard fact.
- 100M+ Nigerians in multidimensional poverty โ yes (earlier data: 133M).
- Millions of out-of-school children โ yes (~18-20M estimates).
- Per capita gap (Nigeria low thousands vs EU $40k+) โ directionally right.
- Nigeria ~quarter of EU land area (~4.2M kmยฒ) โ reasonable.
The claim that *all* stats are wrong doesnโt hold. Theyโre broadly solid for a speech.
