Nigeria is a country of 200million people with different languages,cultures,tribes and religions.

Presently Nigeria has a total of 102million living in extreme poverty less than $2(800)a day.
It happens when there is unequal distribution of wealth and it is manmade.

Poverty affect everyone in the society irrespectives of your social status,gender,religious or political affiliations.It breed narcissistic traits(lack of empathy and love),self entitlement mentality,moral decadence and high incidence of crime in the society because such society become a dog eat dog community.

I will like to enumerate the causes of poverty in Nigeria as follows;

1.Narcissistic Politicians and Public servants:The Politicans are self centered,lacks empathy or love for their people.They are wasteful in their spendings and steal at any given opportunity.

They have no plan for the country’s future.They love bomb the electorate during election time and show their true nature after reelection.

They have continously refused to create an enabling environment for comfort and peace of the people.Nigerians can live their paradise on earth like Europe.

They never do their job unless they will get bribes or kick backs in return.They failed to provide housing,good medical infrastructure,Standard schools etc since independence.

2.Narcissistic Religious leaders:These group only use God as a cover to perpetrate their evil .They take the little savings you have in the name of God to enrich themselves while the members becomes poorer day by day.They hardly help those in need.
The money God created for humans is Gold and silver not $,€,N or £.God doesnt need your money to bless you, if you have a sought after skill or render services to your community for a fee.

3.Bettings companies:Gambling is a poor man tax sanctioned by the Govt.Some people suffer from gambling addiction and will never stop betting until they lose it all.While the punters continue to bet their lives away ,the betting companies get richer.

4.love for foreign products:Nigerians love to buy from China and other countries abroad.While we keep buying goods putting Money into the hands of the chinese ,the chinese will employ more youths to work in their factories to meet production while Nigerian factories for lack of demand closes down and lay off workers.

5.Loan defaulters:These set of group of people are your billionaires who got loans from the banks through connection in Govt.They sometimes send a bank into bankruptcy leaving customers in the cold.

6.The people:The Nigerian society is dog eat dog society where everyone dont trust each other regarding money.Many Nigerians are greedy When it comes to money,you cannot borrow them money without story, when the time to pay back comes.A country that lacks trust and honesty find it hard to get investors(public or private).

When you employ a Nigerian in a business ,they always try to steal from the employer or lie in the accounts.i.e A school administrator have 500 pupils but only remit 400 pupils fees to the proprietor.

7.The Narcissistic Nigerian family members:When brother sends money to build house from abroad,they pocket the money while deceiving him with fake pictures.
8.Disability /Health challenges:
9.Robbery/Bandits:
You can add more points and solutions to these problems.

laziness is the cause of poverty in nigerian

- If a company has 200 employees but only has work for 30 employees then 170 of these employees will be fired.

- The world needs to have poor countries like Nigeria so other rich nations (that controls the world) will be able to sell their own products to these Poor countries. Any poor country (like Libya) who try to change the world order would be attacked and send his economy back to the middle age.

- do you actually believe that it is a coincidence that ALL African countries are poor?!?!?!

- no matter who you put in power in Nigeria, the country can never become anything other than what it is today. Yes, there will be better infrastructures etc but the country will still be poor... Because lazy greedy Nigerians will never accept to pay taxes like people in these rich nations do.
