Sustainable developmeynt and poverty eradication, undoubtedly, are some of the most challenging issues in Third World today (.Nigeria as case study ).. I used to think poverty was just lack of money, but after checking on some of the existing literatures on the subject matter(poverty), i discovered that there is no general consensus on the definition of poverty rather its a multidimentional phenomenom.. I took my enquiry further, so i went to a village close to my school and ask some of the villagers what they know or feel about the subject matter. A woman said "poverty means when person no get money for pocket and when person no fit stand for him right that is when person no get power, when person no fit go or send him children go beta sch like una..." From what the woman said i discoverd that even those in the remote part of the country understands the importance of education and the roles it plays in poverty eradication. Not going to go deep into the subject matter. Well am a final year student of Igbinedion University okada, studying economics and development studies. I want to know what Nigerians think about this topic, would also like Nigerians to give me their own definitions of poverty and posibly contribute to the topic...
