We do not have enough to feed the rich. Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones. 2 Likes |

Being poor is multidimensional and not limited to food alone and can be analysed different ways. I want to focus on Security, Health, Education and Food Security. All these things are elitist. If you are a VIP or a multimillionaire, just go and see your DPO and he can give you two police men to be following you around. We see it everywhere. The police is poorly trained and poorly paid and has poor investigation mechanism and structures. First role of government is securing life and property but even that they have failed and we are all victims . If you are a VIP again , you will have access to the best hospitals and not the government rubbish ones . Even some government hospitals have private wards for VIP and rich patients and those ones are treated so highly that you won't believe that it's the same hospital. In a developed nation , health is key but here even the president runs to London when he has a health crisis. Even the middle class is not spared in the poor nature of the health sector. Education is a tragedy. No one that has a choice will send their children to a public primary school which is the foundation. In developed nations , public primary education is the rule while private primary education is the exception while in Nigeria it is the other way around . However FG will say the school feeding program that gulps 600 million naira daily has been a success and that primary school education is not under the FG ; in other words we can feed them but we can't equip their classrooms or pay their teachers because it's not our job. And the rot is all the way to tertiary level. With the exception of Lagos Business school, no MBA program in Nigeria meets international standards of any of AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB. It's all poor. Food security is in shambles. Why is it so expensive to transport food from Kano to Lagos ? No one has been able to answer this question. Why are incentives not given to food production and processing companies so that we all benefit one way or the other ? It's beyond me . Nigeria is a clueless nation . When they came with surep and you win , I said nothing will change and that it will only set a dangerous precedence. Then they came again with npower , trade moni and cash transfer. Yet another misplaced priority. This schemes are supposed to be the icing on the cake; Additional initiatives to a core initiative. However there is little or no cake. Nigeria is spending more on icing than the main cake . We spend so much on helping the poor with tokenism while neglecting the core of Security,Health, Education and Food Security. At the end of the day, we are all poor including the elites and the rich. We never know when we will be victims of this poor system. When a wayward and poor policeman may out of frustration kill a family relation, when a niece may be rushed to a teaching hospital with pregnancy complications and the doctor on call will be in his own private hospital , when the children we refused to educate will kidnap us and when lack of standards will result to us consuming poisoned beans in our mansions . In the end , being rich and living in a poor system means we are all poor . This rot is not limited to the Federal Government. State Governors are even worse and if I use Lagos state as a case study, we won't leave here today. God help Nigeria. 23 Likes 5 Shares |

Blame the government that are making things hard, imagine earning 20k monthly and a bag of rice is 15k. Blame the people that keep voting in stuppiid leaders because "he is from my tribe, he is from a big party, he is a muslem or christian" I am sure come 2023, Majority of this poor Nigerians will still vote Buhari, if the law allow's him. 5 Likes |

We are poor because we don't pay our tithes, we don't sow seeds for the expansion of God's work. Please do not quote me, just shared what my Pastor told me You can believe him or not. All I know is that we have poor tithers and non tithers, we also have rich tithers and non tithers. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Because there have been no meaningful intervention or policy to fight poverty. Sharing money is not a sound economic policy. If Nigeria's total population were less than 10 million, sharing money would have masked the extreme poverty in the land. 1 Like |

Omooba77:Our leaders work for instant gratification and not creation of sustainable values. They play to the gallery by the phrase "Tell them what they want to hear" The trader moni is seen as national cake because our politicians has made it so. Even the manner of distribution cannot be taken seriously. There was no formal structure to do that as it was all politics. Nigerians have been failed and are now failing themselves 3 Likes |
