Something we should think about when we make the statement 'poverty is a disease'. I've always felt it was an unfortunate thing to believe but I couldn't wrap my head around why I didn't agree with the statement. If we have a country where they great majority of 200 million people believe poverty is a disease, how will they treat the poor among them? Should they be surprised that after teaching their kids 'poverty is a disease', those kids become governors and employers and abuse the poor among them? How about treating people who aren't wealthy like lepers and outcasts...is this uncommon in Nigeria? All of these things have casual roots.

Not that poverty is anything to celebrate, but poverty is poverty. It's not a disease and there's nothing wrong with a poor person. I think it's time to get rid of that statement. Nigeria's inability to show humanity to the poor is a bigger issue than poverty it's self.

Governments destroy entire industries over night (markets, Okada, Keke, farms), so long as they belong to the poor.
Governments destroy entire neighborhoods over night without compensation, so long as they belong to the poor.
Governments take land and property from the poor in Nigeria, without compensation or warning.
Hospitals, Schools etc that cater to the poor are not only underfunded and unkempt, their neglect is seen as a natural consequence of what the people in it deserve by many Nigerians.
The poor have less access to decent treatment by police, politicians (until it's time to vote), etc.

We cannot create hell on earth for people because they don't have money, and we cannot regard not having money as 'a disease'.

Poverty isn't a disease, it's the product of a poor mindset

Pls go and sit down and reason your life.


You have never been poor so you come here and spew thrash.


Those who are poor know that it is aajor disease because it renders them incapable to do many basic things.

Poverty is a Psychological disease that occurs when the mind has been corrupted with the virus of Ignorance and it can also be projected from the spirit realm.

90% of poor people are angry people, or offended and hurt because they have been either abandoned or betrayed.

90% of rich people do not want others to get rich and be equal with them.
THESE ARE THE FACTS.

The rich can lose everything withing eye blink. Everything is luck.

Here we have man A who is poor, Man B and Man C are very rich.

Man A narrates how he won a ticket to join man B and C on the dining table.

Man A explains how he made it to the table.

The following conversation ensured :

Man B : you see, everything is luck.

Man C: A man makes his own luck, am I right man A?

Man A: yes you are.

Making your own luck means hard-working.

In a place like Nigeria where 99% of people are born from or 1 generation away from abject poverty, I don't know about that.
