"What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 12:16am On Jan 03, 2020
In my earlier post this year; I explained categorically how people mistake "Poverty" to mean "the lack of money."


I further explained briefly how Agriculture plays a very vital role in the eradication of poverty.

Since Money is the transactional means through which people interact with one another, then Money is very much essential in our every day lives.

Would it be then right to say the lack of money equates to being poor?

Let Us get this point straight once and for all.

Poverty is not the absence or Lack of Money.

"Poverty is the Limitation of the mind."

Poverty is that Fear; that barrier; that emotional weakness that limits your Mental, Pshychological and Physical abilities.

People who are monetarily poor are those who are Financially Unfit.

Conversely, people who are Financially Unfit are those who have a Poor Mindset.

In essence; many of those who are monetarily poor and financially unfit are those with a Poverty Mindset.

"For out of the abundance of the mind translates the reality that we live in."
Many a lot of people want to live a Life of Luxury but no matter how physically hard they try - their Poverty Mindset keeps them in Penury .

This is the True Revelation that Poverty or Wealth exist First and Primarily in the minds of every individuals.

The result of people living with a Poor and Faulted mindset is exactly what translate to their Poor Living Conditions.

A lot of Nigerians and Africans at large; are financially poor because their mindset have been faulted in various ways.

The Living Conditions of many Nigerians and Africans are so terrible despite the Abundant Human and Natural Resources in Our region.

Isn't this the result of the mindset?

The Living Conditions of many Nigerians and Africans are so terrible despite the Abundant Human and Natural Resources available to them.

Using Nigeria as a case study; Nigeria - with a population of over 200,000,000 people have over 70% of it's citizenry living below the poverty line.

Way Less than 10% of it's citizenry are the elites who live to control the affairs of the economy.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 10:42am On Jan 04, 2020
Now the question here is -

Who are these elites fewer than 15% controlling the affairs of the Nation?

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 11:03am On Jan 04, 2020
These are the people who are in charge of controlling the Human and Natural Resources of the Nation.

They are the few people in charge of managing the integral activities and functions of Humanity to some or a large extent.

They are the few people who understands the simple and working principle of Acquiring, Building, Creating, Distributing and Expanding Wealth.

The Management of Human Resources.

Truth is; a lot of Nigerians grow up not to be resourceful. They are not resourceful because they grow up in a society where their upbringing and sense of inclination is altered by the Faulty Education groomed in the country.

The crack in the Educational System in Africa at large; is the result of the underdevelopment of the Human Resources of Our People.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 12:27pm On Jan 04, 2020
Our Faulted Educational System doesn't provide the Youth of Africa with the insight of effectively managing themselves.

The Faulted Education System paralyses to a very large extent - majority of the inborn Talents, Passions, Skills and Vitality of almost everyone caught in the web of the Incomplete Education suffered in the continent.

A lot of Nigerians find it very hard to craft out a purpose for their living. They are lost in what they can meaningfully do to positively effect their society.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 12:29pm On Jan 04, 2020
People waste long years in school learning a lot of irrelevances that are not usable in their everyday lives.
"Isn't this the main reason why many literates grow up to be useless to their society and overly dependent on their Leadership Government when it is expected of them to create innovative solutions to the bettering and effective running of the country?"

What is worse is that People continue to overpopulate the country causing more detrimental challenges to the unsolved conditions of the country.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 1:06pm On Jan 04, 2020
Popular belief has it that - "Education is the Best Legacy."

Would you rather let me correct this impression once and for all?

"Education; for a fact is never the best legacy - for if it were; many educated persons in the world which we live in today would be civil, appreciate humanity and only concentrate on the good deeds that influence humanity positively."

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 1:21pm On Jan 04, 2020
"Education; factually can be either Good or Bad; Right or Wrong, Kind or Evil, Complete or Incomplete."

Yes - These various pathways of Education are exactly what contributes to the Usefulness or Uselessness of what Education entails.

In a nutshell;

" Education can either be SAFE or UNSAFE."

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 2:01pm On Jan 04, 2020
Africa, particularly and the World at large suffer from UNSAFE Education.

This you can tell from the activities and doings of people.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 2:01pm On Jan 04, 2020
While most developed countries in the world today suffer UNSAFE Education from the perspective of creating advanced technologies like nuclear weapons which are solely built by narcissistic people to rebel and overpower other humanity as a result of their Bad and Evil Education; Africa - on the other hand suffer UNSAFE Education from the perspective of Poor, Wrong and Incomplete Education which results to the corruption and mismanagement of it's Human and Natural Resources.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 2:04pm On Jan 04, 2020
In very much essence; Literally "How is Education then said to be the Best Legacy when the Utilisation of it is most often ILL and EVIL?"

This is another misinformation surrounding Education itself.


It is worthy to note that:

"Education is not the Best Legacy" ... For this simple misinformation is the real reason why many African Parents still WRONGLY think that Schooling ensures Prosperity for their Children .

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 8:02pm On Jan 04, 2020
What then should be regarded as The Best Legacy?



"The Utilization of SAFE Education is The Best Legacy."

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 8:18pm On Jan 04, 2020
What exactly is SAFE Education?

By now; if you have been fully attentive with my social sensitization write-ups; you should have understood that SAFE Education is any Education that betters People without the guise of enslaving Humanity for some selfish gains.

Any Education that Positively Empowers mankind can be said to be Right, Complete and Good. Such Education is considered SAFE.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 8:26pm On Jan 04, 2020
Any sort of Education contrary to the aforementioned explanation of SAFE Education is said to be UNSAFE.



Let Us dive into some practical examples of UNSAFE Education in the world before we delve into the what SAFE Education entails.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 9:17pm On Jan 04, 2020
The Terrorist sects like the Boko-Haram group in Nigeria and Al-Qa'ida group in Iraq educates young children (boys and girls) to become suicide bombers and killers of people who are not believers of their own Islamic Faith by indoctrination.

Such education is wicked and evil. However, these young children who are indoctrinated with these kind of Education are never aware of their evil deeds because they were groomed with such UNSAFE Education.

Would You regard such Education as a Legacy at all?

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 9:58pm On Jan 04, 2020
The recent air strike used to kill the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani by the Government of The United States of America has been explained to be an act done to prevent terrorism. However; such act is a result of the UNSAFE Education which most of developed countries portray.

We live in a world where narcissistic people in power do not care about the repercussion of their actions on the people they claim to govern. Such actions are the result of an UNSAFE Education which is Incomplete, Bad and Evil.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 10:59pm On Jan 04, 2020
Another example of UNSAFE Education in Nigeria and Africa at large is the Incomplete Education Our Educational System provides to our wards.

Most People graduate from Tertiary Institution to become Financial Illiterates.

The Educational System in Africa do not prepare young minds to face the challenges of the Real World.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 11:26pm On Jan 04, 2020
Our Incomplete Education is certainly the reason for the Youth delinquencies in the society. Today, Many Literate Youth engage in cyber crimes, kidnapping, armed robbery and other societal vices to be able to fend for themselves.

Worse still - Most of these criminals pray and are thankful to their religious gods for the successful atrocities they commit in the society.

What a Shameful Hypocrisy?!

What a Legacy Education truly is?!

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 2:57pm On Jan 05, 2020
The Education System in Africa is no SAFE Education at all. This you can tell by the condition of things in Africa.

It is very pitiful how the religious beliefs of people contradicts with logic. Many Africans are slaves to their religious dogmas and are made to believe their prosperity lies in the worship of an Invisible Skygod.

The economy of Africa continues to retard as the number of religious bigots continue to increase exponentially. The delusion in Africa is overwhelming - to say the least.

Over 90% of the arable lands lie unused and wasting in the villages solely because many religious folks have been made to believe witches and evil people reside in the villages sucking on the blood of those who tries to claim ownership of the lands of their ancestors.

Many Youth do not consider Agriculture as an option to create wealth for themselves despite the prevailing hardship in the cities where they struggle with the fierce, ugly and unhealthy competition they encounter just to keep food on their table and make a living.

This Unwarranted FEAR has been fueled by religious clergies (christian pastors especially) grossly over so many decades and have been channeled down from parents to their children such that people continue to be SLAVES to their own IMAGINATIONS.

Remember; the reason for the so much Poverty in Africa is because of the Poor Mindset of the People. A lot of People Poorly think a Sky-God will do for them what Agriculture would have done for them.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 4:07pm On Jan 05, 2020
People blindly fast and pray so much to an Imaginary Sky-god for the provision of money to cater for their Food, Clothing and Shelter needs.

Despite the increasing Literacy level in Africa, most people cannot still fathom that Total Empowerment lies in Agriculture. They have been blinded with the belief that sowing seeds (money) in churches and mosques will be rewarded in multiple folds by their imaginary Sky-god. The believe in this gimmick is the reason why Africa is littered with so many religious houses being founded by unscrupulous thieves guising as Spiritual Leaders to deceive many.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 5:12pm On Jan 06, 2020
The emancipation of Africans from the mental slavery that has since clogged their minds can only fizzle out through the effective sensitization and Utilization of SAFE Education.

"The Utilization of SAFE Education" like I quoted earlier before is the Best Legacy and it is the ONLY Cure to the Problems Africa gravitates to be buried in.

As much as we have got lots of challenges which are very much solvable; we will never be able to solve them with the *Spiritual Problems* we continue to embrace.

Re: "What Is Your Own Definition Of Poverty?" by AfroAgroPower: 9:37pm On Jan 07, 2020
The definition of SAFE Education has been naturally and alphabetically illustrated to mean :

S - Spiritual Education
A - Academical Education
F - Financial Education
E - Experiential Education.

The insight to these Educative illustrations are the conceived and experiential knowledge of my studies in Life.
