Alhaji Aliko Dngote says a lot of Nigerians are living below the poverty line – He noted that this has led to increase in crime and vice – The richest man in Africa blamed the drop in the country’s revenue for government slow performance Alhaji Aliko Dangote has lamented that more than 100 million Nigerians are poor and that this will lead to increased crime. The Punch reports that Africa’s richest man said at the Executive Course No. 38, 2016 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies in Kuru, Plateau State.

Dangote said that it was ironical that in spite of the abundant resources, Nigeria was still dealing with serious poverty.

He said:

“It is a curious paradox that Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, and the largest economy on the continent, also has one of the highest levels of poverty. “It is estimated that more than 100 million out of a population of 187 million Nigerians live below the poverty line.”

He noted that “youth unemployment had risen to 42 per cent this year, with many graduates roaming the streets of major cities such as Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt in search of elusive white-collar jobs, while for some who were employed, their situation could best be described as under-employment, as they were being underutilised and poorly paid.”

“The spate of kidnappings, intermittent vandalism of petroleum pipelines in the Niger Delta, and the protracted insurgency in the North-East are all fuelled, to a large extent, by the high level of endemic poverty in the country.”

Dangote noted that the dwindling economic had made things more difficult as the government was finding it increasingly difficult to fulfil its obligations. “Coupled with this, the activities of insurgents in the North-East have also affected the level of poverty in that part of the country.

It is estimated that there are over 2.4 million Internally Displaced Persons in the region. It will take billions of naira to rebuild the North-East and fully re-settle the victims of the insurgency.

Tell it to MR. BUBU.

Please Sir, put it in writing...


Address it to proper channel.

You have said it all sir

No o! They have just been correctly placed now! All along Nigerians gave been feeding off proceeds of corruption and living above their means especially during the 16yrs of PDP rule. It is now that they have taken their proper places of living within 'just and modest' means, designed for suffering and pain.

This is what zombies would have u believe rather than concede that their lord is nothin but a dumb, ignorant bigot.

Dangote just discovered the relationship between poverty and crime...

1. ON EARNING:
Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second chance.

2. ON SPENDING:
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.

3. ON SAVINGS:
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.

4. ON TAKING RISK:
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.

5. ON INVESTMENT:
Do not put all eggs in one basket.

6. ON EXPECTATIONS:
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.

7. IF YOU are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Past is a waste paper. Present is a newspaper and future is a question paper.

8. WHEN bad things happen in your life you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.

9. EMPTY pockets teach you a million things in life but full pockets spoil you in a million ways.

10. OUR EYES are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.

11. WE USED a pencil when we were small but now we use pens... do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can be erased but not now.

So read and write carefully otherwise life will be a tissue paper.

Na so oh Baba Dangote. Poverty the cause of evil things

tell you master bubu

I disagree with Dangote this once , I doubt if poverty is the reason behind kidnapping..if poverty was the reason at least most Nigerians would be kidnappers now ..Kidnapping is carried out by very few Nigerian and it's clear they are not even up to a thousand ,these people are are violent leeches driven by heavy greed ,they want to hammer ten of millions overnight without bidding their turn ..if poverty was the reason why do most Kidnappers who have already succefully made millions from past kidnaps and even own businesses go back to kidnap again?

We are expecting $29bn from loans -Buhari

Nigeria stop producing oil since we came to office -APC

In other countries where there is no crude oil there is no single development unless they borrow - Amaechi

The reason why 100 from 187 million are languishing in poverty is because of the destructive culture, lifestyle and values espoused by the likes of Sanusi et. al who engage in impregnating four (or more women) with several children. Meanwhile most of the people who seek to emulate this lifestyle can only just about take care of themselves.

Until Nigerians stop breeding recklessly they will keep crying about their self-induced poverty.

An Edo man passing by overheard the response , he shook his head and said: "This APC government will kill us in this country, everything has increased: dollar, transport fare, fuel prices, foodstuff,...everything, even 1+1 that used to be 2 has now gone up to 4. Everything in Nigeria has increased, even the voice that usually say "to copy this tune press one" is now saying "to copy this tune press 11
