Oizee:Wow...and if he adds this burden called marriage marriage his father continues to offload his burdens on him then what? The adviser there will ask him to have children too? If the man wants to get rid of his dad, he has a better chance by cutting ties with the deadbeat and working to find his footing first before then considering either marriage or helping his sick family. 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie: Funny how I agree with you on pretty much everything except this. Poor people globally don't choose to be poor. They are made poor because they are not prioritized by governments across the world, not just Nigeria. Take the US for example. Why would the American government decide to give more money in tax cuts and rebates to already rich billionaires rather than taxing the rich to solve their chronic homeless problem? Why would Nigeria continue to maintain a broken, elitist neocolonialist system which serves to cater for the elite and industrial complex like Dangote, Otedola and Elumelu rather than build a system that works for the other 99.99%? And when the poor complain, they are simply told that they don't work hard But the system simply doesn't allow the poor to become rich... the system allows the rich to become richer. Which is why Elon Musk and others who all came from relatively wealthy, comfortable homes can continue to be rich but an average homeless Joe on the street of Manhattan can't be a rich tech tychoon. Though I agree with you that poor people especially in Nigeria and Africa don't help themselves with the burden they carry like the number of wives and children they have but they aren't the inherent cause of their problem - the system simply gives Otedola's daughters and Elumelu's sons a platform than it does to the guy with 5 children who live in an uncompleted building next door. 5 Likes |

VeryStingyMan:1. So what you are saying is that a poor man who goes ahead to have 5 children he is unable to fend for or send to school, is poor because his poverty was not prioritized by the government? 2. Are you suggesting then that a poor man should, in his poverty, compare himself and his situation to that of Otedola and Elumelu whose children are giving a platform, according to you, because they are not poor? We need to begin holding the poor responsible for their own fate abeg! The excuses don too much. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: If you're oversimplifying, then yes. Governments across the globe tend to prioritize the 1% over the rest of the 99%. This is a well established fact. Of course, the poor in African countries aggravate their own situation with the number of children they have but their situation in general are borne out the a deep-rooted lack of interest in their welfare by the society. Also, the poor can't afford to compare themselves to the elites. The system makes sure that a poor person's child has to work thrice as hard as a rich person's child for only a fraction of what the rich person's child has. Is that what you call fate? 4 Likes |

VeryStingyMan:1. This discussion is about exactly that aspect in bold, and not of all the other you keep trying to force in. 2. Then stop bringing up the mentions of those you consider the elites. A poor man makes it worse for himself for those children kids by having them with the expectation others --- the system--- will care for them. This is about the poor man's personal responsibility to all the many children he breeds in his poverty. |

... Definitely if poor people never existed, there's no way the rich would be able to make money. So I see both the rich and the poor in every society. But when the poor population becomes alarmingly too high, it's a real problem to the nation. It even becomes a problem to the rich. Your safety is not even guaranteed as a rich man or woman when there are too many poor people around you. It's in your own interest to do your best to help the poor people around you and lift as many people as possible out of poverty as you can. As you're helping them, you're also helping yourself to protect your own life and safeguard your wealth. Think about it. ... Cc: Seun dominique Rocktation farano nlfpmod . 4 Likes |

Poverty is a serious disease on its own, but it can actually be overcome, with serious determination, commitment and unrelenting hard work. Yes, you can pull yourself out of poverty if you want. |

Digital204: I was wondering why it felt like I was reading from a book and was about to applaud your wealth of knowledge but anyways nice one ... Poverty is a construct that stems from beliefs, environment, perspectives, luck and other extraneous factors. But it is strongly tied to your personal systems, first and foremost are the systems you're able to setup or grow into. Eventually we all rise and fall to the level of our systems.

the government is the primary factor of the suffering rate truth be told. If you want to talk about large family and all then China comes to mind. Nigeria is the most populous black nation in Africa, not just that we also very blessed in all ramifications.. Even if each family has 10 to 12 children and the system we have here is working as it ought to work I can bet you no one will be complaining of poverty and starvation. But you see the Buffon's we all have as leaders? They don't care about the people who put them there ...Sad 😢 Digital204: 1 Like |

Simple answer. Because the resources with which money can be generated to do many things for the betterment of people in general, are not tap or corruptedly managed by corrupt few individuals and corrupt government officials. |

The Nigerian political Elites need the poor desperately. Poor people do not complain much, the more you maltreat them, the more they run to you. See how the poor supporters of APC have quickly forgotten what they suffered at the hands of APC for 8 years. 1 Like |
