According to the World Bank, 66 per cent of the Nigerian population live below poverty line of less than $2 USD a day. This clearly indicates that poverty is still and would remain a growing problem. Many children live in environments without adequate shelter, sanitation nor clean drinking water and limited health care facility.

About 10 million children of school age are not attending schools due mainly to poverty and unemployment status of their parents who cannot afford to provide them with basic education. This could be alarming considering the fact that the Federal Government had assured of nine years primary and junior secondary education as stipulated in the Universal Basic Education Act 2004, with stringent penalties for parents whose children and wards are found on the streets during school hours.

Because of poverty, parents have been compelled to send their children to the streets to hawk food items such as groundnuts, oranges, mangoes, sachet water, minerals, bananas, carrots, tomatoes, pepper, vegetables and cooking oil, just to mention a few. Due to their tender ages, some of these child-hawkers can be kidnapped by ritualists, sexually abused, knocked down by moving vehicles on busy streets or fall victims of hazardous environments.

Jonathan or Buhari cannot help anybody. Only a genuine return to God will save Nigerians.
We know that it is God who chooses leaders for a people, so every people deserve the kind of leaders that they get.

God is in absolute control of everything; all things, including rulers and leaders are, because he authorizes it.

Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
