Yes, I know we are talking about Nigeria. I wanted you to tell us how many people in the developed world can do what you asked. Build or buy a 2 bedroom flat without credit.
okay. I get your point
I was only using 2bedroom flat
...
how many Nigerians own a self con? lol
in Canada... I am sure 80% of Canadians (excluding children and teenagers) can own or build a self con without credit.. and only few are unemployed
....
now in Nigeria how many Nigerians can build a self con without credits? 40%
how many are employed?
so you can reason from my own point of view.. I also reason with you
.
I love my country. truly we are developing
but they should stop deceiving us with all the false statistics
...
we Nigerians are the ones developing our country individually
the government are only making things worst...

Akinsnaira: Gej, his cohorts and the bootlickers will do anything possible just to justify his re-run for the second time. Visiting chibok yesterday after 99days the kidnapping took place, and this coming to us today (only one-third of nigerians are poor, @Latest joke of the 21st century), we are waiting for more Oga jona.

Don't be surprised if this man declare himself to run for the second term in the next few weeks or months
You are sad and pained that only a third of Nigerians are poor aren't you? Well it's ur business if you chose to be poor but I know there's no poor person in my family. Me and my brothers are doing very well and giving our now retired old mum a better life. It may not be down to Jonathan but that my two youngest brothers were able to secure well paying employment during Jonathan's time is enough reason why the whole family is rooting for him. If your family wants to remain poor as you wish, your wahala.

You are factually wrong

1. Most ..over 90% of homes in Canada are mortgage...Mortgage means in laymans terms...loans to help one buy a house..
2. Unemployment in Canada is high...thats why a lot of there professionals ( Dr and pharmacists) are in USA. Most other grads move to Asian to teach English.. Or the middle east as healthcare professionals or teachers

Please try to learn more about the country you live in.

IjogzK: I use to laugh when people say the quote "When over half of Nigerians go to bed hungry" it is so absurd to say that. Most Nigerians do not go to bed hungry. It's virtually impossible to go hungry self. Most Yoruba would most likely resort to extortion either by the road side or omo-onile, Ibo's would always see someone from the East to accommodate them while they learn trade and gain their freedom, while Broke Hausa or Northern peeps would always turn to a corner of the road side to beg.

Everybody gets hooked up somehow, Yahoo boys are Yahooing, Ritualist are busy killing, Robbers are Robbing, Police n LASTMA keeps extorting while the new set of law enforcers "SARS" are busy scamming Fraudsters aka Yahoo boys instead of arresting them.

U just defined Nigeria.

33% of their population are suffering under poverty and they're celebrating. Lol!!!!
Re: Only A Third Of Nigerians Are Poor- Says World Bank by Ijaya123: 7:22am On Jul 24, 2014
Really? And this is coming from the same World Bank that came out ę few months ago to state that Nigeria is among the 10 poorest countries in the world.
All these statistics are becoming meaniless.
Re: Only A Third Of Nigerians Are Poor- Says World Bank by salt1: 2:23pm On Jul 24, 2014
Panter215: Is 55m not still much. 55m poor people is like saying everybody in Ghana are poor. The whole of people living in Togo, Benin, Niger plus Chad are poor. My people wake up.

Will you help us wake them up? They say more than half of them live in NE and NW. And I think so.

Even though the richest African, Dangote, is from the North, their apathy to Western education is not helping matters. Can you imagine if 100,000 had just a tiny fraction of what Dangote alone controls. Those two regions spoil all Nigeria's stats on education, health, wealth and security
Will you persuade them to accept Western education? This is not just about getting education to secure salary jobs, but to improve on their health, agric practices etc.
