ServantsOfTruth: What that guy said is meaningless unless you're a tribalist. I doubt he even said it. Anyone can pick up a picture, write jargons beside it to make it sound credible. Even if the statement was true, does the statement reflect what he said? Lagos Ibadan expressway is being rebuilt. Lagos Ibadan railway line is almost ready. A new bridge on the Niger River is being built.. A finance audit of the NDDC has made thieving contractors return money for projects they either didn't complete or did not even carry out at all. I am not even a fan of Buhari Everyone is a loser under Buhari. The North has become the poverty capital of the world. 80% of the poorest Nigerians are from the North. What a country like Nigeria needs most is fast economic growth of at least 7% yearly. It was barely 2.5% last year. Infrastructural projects with lousy growth rates is Akin to building a 15 bedroom mansion in a very poor village. It will bring you prestige but never money. When you desperately need money, no one will give you a good price for it. Fast economic growth is what is needed. Everyone suffers when growth is very poor. It is fast economic growth that can lift tens of millions out of poverty. It is fast growth that can create jobs for the teeming number of unemployed and underemployed in the country. Riding a jeep and having zero in your wallet no be am. Better to have your bank account full of money than to have a jeep. 1 Like |

grandstar: Before buhari the North was always on its way to being poverty capital. Poverty there has been roaring even since the time of Obasanjo. |

grandstar: From 2000 to 2014 Nigeria had an average yearly growth rate of 7 percent and yet poverty was still exploding. |

urahara: I don't exactly agree with you. Things improved. I remembered how the economy was under Abacha During my time when I finished uni, almost everyone wanted to travel overseas for work. By 2010, things had changed considerably. Children of the middle class now stayed as prospects for jobs were much better. I'm an estate agent and I can tell you that agents getting higher sums as commissions. Land prices soared. Nowadays people are fleeing to Canada. That's a very good indication that things have soured. Many have lost hope in the economy. I believe poverty as a percentage of the population dropped even though the number of the poor rose |

grandstar: From 2000 to 2014 all I ever remembered was people wailing , no jobs , " Nigeria is a horrible place " bla bla bla. grandstar: The number of people living on less than 1 dollar a day in 2004 was 54.7 percent , in 2010 it became 60.9 percent despite marvelous economic growth. Economic growth at times does not reduce poverty. Botswana was one of the fastest growing economies in the world for over 30 years. Despite this , poverty in Botswana is very high. foreignpolicy.com Growth Alone Won't Help the Poor https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/02/20/growth-alone-wont-help-the-poor-nigeria-poverty-inequality/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10875549.2016.1141383?src=recsys The link below is an article by Reuters during Nigerias years of soaring gdp.Its a 2012 article before Buhari took power. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSTRE81C0KR20120213 "It remains a paradox ... that despite the fact that the Nigerian economy is growing, the proportion of Nigerians living in poverty is increasing every year," Statistician General Yemi Kale told reporters in the capital Abuja. Bismarck Rewane in the year 2012 spoke on the paradox in the link below https://www.dw.com/en/poverty-on-the-rise-in-nigeria/a-15742474-0 |

[quote author=grandstar post=85452647] What that guy said is meaningless unless you're a tribalist. I doubt he even said it. Anyone can pick up a picture, write jargons beside it to make it sound credible. It's now meaningless because he's calling the yourba slaves...which the whole world knows that yourbas are slaves . The facts are there for you to see This picture was sent to femi kayode So don't come up here to say rubbish Even if the statement was true, does the statement reflect what he said? Yes it does...the yourba nation are slaves to the hause..Fulani
