Anigreat: Total rubbish. The number one reason is primitive and backward citizens mentality. -Have more children than they and the country can feed. -spend most of their time attributing everything to god and religion instead of living off the land and innovating -playing colo mentality with government and foreigners in the country, making it easy to be exploited -believing in silly things like juju and religion that dont contribute much to their lives except detraction, expenses and waste of time. 4 Likes |

The reason why Nigeria is poor is quite complex |
Re: Why Are Nigerians Still So Poor? by namdo(m): 11:46am On Apr 23, 2020 |
There are no people-oriented policies from Governments to retain quality and make room for massive development. For example the decay in education could have been checked if government made a policy to retain our very best brains in the institutions. We would have been teaching our children the best most of the time and that would have translated to probably a strongly educated society in the long run. 1 Like |

Nigeria is poor because a few elite individuals and their families and associates are controlling most of the money in this country. They appoint yes men into offices through their parties and manipulate the laws to silence those who oppose them. Where politicians would rather spend on themselves rather than the citizens. When things aren't functioning as a result of their neglect they then go abroad for schooling and healthcare. Then educated Nigerians seeing the rot of their country will try any and every means to leave the country and give their productivity to other nations. This is why you see Nigerians performing well abroad while the country is a mess. 2 Likes |

We are Poor due to: Lack of Integrity by the average Nigerian & Weak Competences AKA Mediocrity. We are very poor due to : Lack of Integrity by the average Nigerian. An Excessive Population [Vis-a-Vis] the existing resources and Infrastructure. Weak Competences AKA Mediocrity. Poor planning. Possibly, ill luck. Some may say luck plays no role in a man's destiny. My response is that you tell me how you got to choosing your parents for start. We always stand on the shoulders of those before us. Even Nationally. |

The summary is that our governments are for the benefit of the people in govt and hardly for the benefit of the masses. People are surviving by raw personal efforts. It leaves one wondering when the country will get organised for meaningful development of her populace. |
