This is the question that is begging for answer in my mind as news of the World bank report on poverty classified Nigeria as the country with the largest number of poor people in the world. Imagine 80 million poor and 7 new ones added daily. It's definately heart breaking. The question on my mind was how did they become poor. What created this massive flux of poverty? Let's answer this here and now. Contribute, bring solutions. Let's create an enlightened atmosphere that will help reverse this trend. So for me, our poverty is
1. Lack of desire to be wealthy
2. Lack of mentors to guide our financial decisions
3. Lack of right financial education
4. Poor saving and investment disposition
5. Poor emotional intelligence management ( living like the Jones syndrome)
6. Poor response to opportunity and adorpting leveraging on technology.
7. Poor risk assessment and lack of insurance.

We need to educate the country on how to make wealth and laws that govern money, it's creation and multiplication.
Nigerians need a system of financial education that cuts across class and ethnicity, religion and culture. Let's treat poverty like the disease it is and help position Nigeria on the path of great prosperity.

Poor because all the capitals raised by this country is being seized by Nigerian politicians and their cronies. Some abroad others burried underground.
