This the same Jesus Christ who says those who are His followers will abandon all they have if they wish to enter into the Narrow Gate that leads to Heaven, a gate harder to enter for a rich man than the eye of the needle is to enter for a camel? This the same Jesus Christ who said those who are poor are blessed in His Kingdom? undecided

What is clear is you have no real association with Jesus Christ as He is just another god you use for the casting of your spells and invocations and nothing else. undecided

Because of the wicked and evil system with the people that manage it.

Easy to blame government for everything but average Nigerian should shoulder more blame. In 1960, Nigeria population is less than 60 million while UK is about the same. In 2022, Nigerian population is over 220 million while UK is little over 60 millions. The major contributor to poverty is lack of family planning.

Blame our wicked government.

They created mass poverty to be able to control people.

Point is people - should not make all sexual encounters an avenue to breed like sun flies or rabbit.

I will continue to blame the government. From that 1960 you quoted, how many industries has our leaders killed and how many new industries has the UK brought to their people.
UK is a small Island compare to Nigeria and till today their government never stopped creating wealth, through quality education, industries, sports to mention few.

Calm down boy, even people with just a kid or two are struggling to even eat as of today. So having battalion at home means nothing.


If people with one kid are struggling to east, doesn't it occur to you that some with six kids would struggle harder and sink deeper in poverty? undecided

This is a reflection of the failure of Nigerian men
They, the supposed providers, are failures on multiple fonts

They are unproductive,lazy, not innovative, too relaxing, the little change they earn is spent on chasing women.

In their poverty,they will be looking for love,instead of developing themselves,with the aim of subjecting someone daughter to misery by being yoked with them.

If it's not wickedness why would you want a human that you can't take care of to be with you? A kid you can't give the best of life and buy the latest toys?

Very wicked fellows like emmaodet, reminderz,et Al were encouraging women to marry men earning 100k. How vile can someone be ? I know how much we spend on electricity bill alone( it is almost half of the 100k).
The basic things of life can't be covered by it. How much is it to fill 12kg gas? Even to braid your hair as a woman how much is attachment? Deodorants and the rest. A tin of baby food is about 3500k and most babies finish a tin in three days. Diapers cost 100 each and a baby needs like 5-7 a day.

This men won't opt for condoms or vasectomy but must selfishly procreate at they expense of their children future.

It is sad. The rich pass wealth and legacy for their children. The average naija man wants to pass leave struggling and "economizing" to his kids.

How old are you? This comment smells that of a child

After Graduating, Your Papa link you up, you begin earn NGN500k/Month from there you run Business and side gig dey bring in some dough for you, you come think say your Guy wen the Papa na Transporter and the Mama and road side pepper seller na Lazy guy cos after Graduation na only Private school teaching of 12k he fit get cos He no get any connect.

See. The comments here are shocking to me, to say the least, smh.

Let's leave aside the fact that chance or "luck" plays in some sucess stories.

I wonder why all the people criticising poor people here are not billionaires themselves if it was that easy to be 'rich'. Like every billionaire today are one not because they're hardworking and not because they exploit labourers.

Like, unplanned, people's parents die or some sickness happen to them that eats all of their savings. But let's sit and speculate and condemn them.

If the man wants to get rid of his dad, he has a better chance by cutting ties with the deadbeat and working to find his footing first before then considering either marriage or helping his sick family. undecided

The Formula for Wealth is:
"Reduce Liabilities, increase Assets"

Anything that takes away money from you is a liability. Too many children takes away money from you, reduce them drastically.

A family of 4 with total monthly income of 250k in Nigeria will live more quality life than a family of 10 with an income of 400k.

Break the cycle of poverty by having few children.
You have no business having kids if you and your spouse are not bringing home at least 500k or more a year.
