In Lagos you are either rich or poor,no middle man by hollandis(f): 9:49pm On Feb 07, 2011
There is a widening and maddening gap between the rich and poor in lagos,the lacuna is so wide and broad and annoying.No light ,no public water yet its so wide(the gap),sometimes I wonder what fashola has done apart from the security issue(which for him is a plus).I really don't know why but there are many poor people in lagos like 80percent of the populace.Tell me why someone will leave his house in the morning(5am and return 8pm) because he wants to earn a salary of 200k,is that not stupidity ,you end up spending the money on housing,transport and some beer if you are lucky to be single.
If the govt is not ready to give basic necessities ,then they should be ashamed of themselves.

It's middle class not middle man. This is not the chain of distribution ok?

The middle class is nonexistent in Nigeria. It can be barely be seen. You either you rich or you poor. It is as simple as that.

Apparently things will get better one day, we complain too much, there are
no hungry mouths in Nigeria, and citizens have never had it so good. wink

^^^ I fear ooo!! grin

I remember reading that same crap 10 years ago, 8 years ago, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. In that time, more people have fallen below the poverty gap, than we started with. Just wondering if we are not tired yet ooo!!!

It is so embarassing, you can sense the poverty from when you arrive at the Airport, where Staff start begging you for handouts,
something I have never experienced anywhere else in the world.

But you instinctively know something is wrong when poor workers can only afford a 'one way' journey to work. Then they stay on
location for days because they cannot afford to commute daily to work, damn wretched life, I weep for Nigeria, I weep

But apparently things will get better one day, we complain too much, there are
no hungry mouths in Nigeria, and citizens have never had it so good.
