Extreme Poverty In Nigeria, Who Is To Blame? by Elbinawi: 5:54am On Aug 11, 2018
Nigerian Wailers tagged me to their Post & asked:

"Same country
Different circumstances

Who do we blame?"

I replied:

I blame the oppressed masses who refuse to unite and overthrown their wicked, evil and heartless oppressors. The oppressed Nigerian masses are busy killing themselves and burning their children alive while their wicked oppressors are united. This is the message of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky.

From the Photo on the left are children of the poor while on the right are children of President Buhari. There are more than 10 million out-of-school children in Nigeria and more than 90% of them from Northern Nigeria but the extremely wicked and corrupt oligarchy of Northern Nigeria send their children to UK for schooling including Buhari. Some of these same oppressed masses of Northern Nigeria will die for these wicked and evil oppressors.

The Nigerian political elites are united in looting our treasury and resources. They don't even invest the looted funds in Nigeria. They send them to the West and the greedy Western imperialism is very happy about this. Sadly, the oppressed masses refused to unite. The oppressors exploit our fault lines of tribe, religion and region to facilitate their oppression.

Op, please note that PMB did not create the gulf between the rich and poor, that is a global issue. Renowned economists will tell you that only 20% of the world's population holds 80% of the world's wealth Nigeria not in isolation. The extreme poverty being witnessed in Nigeria today is as a result of the wickedness, impunity, selfishness, greed of our political and business leaders over the years.
Take an example of a business owner in Nigeria who owns properties and thriving businesses all over Nigeria but still refuses to pay staff salaries, even when paid it's only enough to buy peanuts. Let us call a spade a spade.

Buhari and APC are to be blamed.

World Bank, IMF, FAO and European Union all agreed that PDP up till Jonathan reduced poverty while they affirm that Buhari has made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.

Use google if you are in doubt.

Poverty And Corruption In Nigeria
Re: Extreme Poverty In Nigeria, Who Is To Blame? by omohayek: 10:03am On Aug 11, 2018
It's too convenient to try to shift the blame onto mysterious, faraway "elites", while leaving unscrutinised those they depend on for their power. The ones truly to blame are the Nigerian masses, who either elected those elites you blame out of tribalism and religious prejudice, allowed their votes to be bought by said crooked elites for a few cans of rice, or sat idly by as greedy elites in khaki threw out other greedy elites in babariga.

If ordinary Nigerians weren't so easily swayed by empty promises made by cynical manipulators of tribe and religion, and paid more attention to what politicians were saying and doing instead of where they came from, the country wouldn't be the sh*thole it is today. You would think 58 years of failure would have taught the average Nigerian this much by now, yet here we are today with at least 25% of the country still defending a thieving buffoon like GEJ out of "awa pikin" sentiment, while another 25% insists that a sickly, tribalistic economic illiterate like Buhari is the messiah, despite the wreck he has clearly made of the economy. As for who will challenge Buhari, everybody simply takes it as a given that the PDP must select a northerner for the job, even if the best qualified candidates were to be found in the south, out of the cynical (and probably accurate) expectation that most northerners are still more obsessed with it still being "their" turn in power, even as their stomachs are growling the worst with hunger. Nigerians are the equivalent of a senile old man who sh*ts in the bed and then starts complaining loudly about the smell.
