eepeepook:The problem with this demonic doctrine is that most of those surviving are the lazy unproductive elements among us who seem to have perfected how to destroy working class to survive. That's leaves the production of goods in jeopardy and the system will eventually collapse. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Kobojunkie:only a fool Will blame population for low development. We’re not even as many as other countries that are well developed. Standard of living is too low, and there’s no tangible growth or development done by the government. If there’s safety/security, do you know that sports when properly promoted by the government can give us millions of employment? 4 Likes |

NVera: Take a closer look and you will see that the poor you refer to are not only poor financially, they are poor mentally and foolish. They know very little about being a successful person and that is the reason why they would rather rush to buy iPhone 11 and tokunboh cars instead of coming up with ways to double that money. 5 Likes |

Ah well, Nigerians are not really interested in why we are poor. All these discussions end up being at the end of the day used by whoever is in oppositon to hit the ruling government with it. I remember how we used to have these discussions when GEJ was in power, and even when the Army was in power. Well, the people who were using the discussions to hit the Army took over, and we continued to depreciate. And the folk who use to hit GEJ with this arguments took over, and see where we are. Nigeria is broke because the concept of independence was sold to us as the 'We would be in charge of our own money, therefore we would have more and more money for all of you'. The problem was, the money was never enough. Still, we kept on selling and sharing money, and building up projects....until we started taking loans to feed the need for more and more money. Now, we could have done what South Korea did in the 1960's , and focused on heavy duty industrial development, to the point that we would have grown into an indstrial exporter. We did do some of that...but as you can see... Nigeria's problem is, we have used the money of future generations to spend on welfare projects like subsides, free stuff, etc. We have also looted a lot of money into the bargain, and spent it on a lot of stuff. We have also entrenched corruption....and we have also developed an economy that is far too dependent on imported goods and services. And right now, we are paying the price for being a 'welfare economy' And it is not just Nigeria. Every African country has that same problem. Even SA. When SA became independent in 1910, they should have focused on using its large labour population to develop a huge indstrial base. Instead, they spent more money on white people and less money on black people. That fuelled the liberation movement....and by the time the lib movement took over in 1994, the black majority rejoiced. They had suffered, now it was time to enjoy. The result...mass welfare , at the expense of heavy duty debt. If we do not change how we run this economy, if we do not become an industrial economy that exports, we are going to have this problem forever. Forget PDP, APC, Tinubu, Obi and Atiku and company. Forget tribe, Nigeria must industrialize. We must rise up, and industrialise, or we would forever be infront of the IMF's door asking for more loans. Oil money cannot sustain us, even if we remove corruption and looting. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: This part I agree with. We can’t stand together and hold our leaders accountable as one united country because we just can’t overlook tribe and ethnicity. However I’m not one for blaming the poor people. There’s literally nothing they can do to alleviate the situation as it is now. Maybe in the past I would have agreed on having less kids as the solution (yes even now having less kids is ideal) but we are way past that. single childless adults are feeling the heat too. This is on a different level. 2 Likes |
