  Are you talking about Niger, not Nigeria? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PP... Nigeria has a GDP per capita of about $6100. Have I misunderstood that page? Not that far off some EU countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Europe_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Eu...

    While some of those countries may be European, none are EU member states. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European_Union https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European...

    Yes, you have misunderstood: it's GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP), not actual dollars. Roughly speaking, the hypothetical average Nigerian has an actual dollar income of $1000, but the spending power of somebody earning $6100 in the US.

    I'll reproduce the URLs you're giving in full, so that the invalid comparison becomes obvious: wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Europe_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita
