Rural households in Nigeria have been characterized as poor, and with little opportunity for development.Many studies have equated poverty with well being, however empirical literature on well being is lessresearched. This paper attempts bridge the knowledge gap in the empirical literature of well being studiesand specifically the use of the capability approach in its application in the Nigerian well being contextwhich is not as well researched as poverty studies. The study made use of the Nigerian Core welfareindices survey questionnaires of 2006 to provide data relevant to capability well being dimensions. Thedimensions include housing, health, nutrition, education, asset ownership/economic, information flow andsecurity. The first part of the study involve developing indices of well being using the fuzzy set in order togenerate a composite well being index by the elementary indicators of the well being dimensions. Thesecond part of the study used a logistic regression to explore the variability in achieving the compositewell being index value by a set of Conversion factors. The fuzzy set result revealed that the capability toattain a desired state of well being is highest with respect to asset ownership and lowest with respect tosecurity. The logistic analysis shows that the predicted probability of attaining the mean capability wellbeing level increases for male headed rural households, increasing educational level and age of the head,increasing household size, employment in the public sector and residence in any other geopolitical zoneexcept the Northwestern zone.
