Laziness, ignorance ,greed, barbaric cultural practices etc are the reasons for high rate of ritual killing in south west region, until the above mentioned issues are addressed, it can only get worse.

Nigerian government led by Buhari is very deceitful.They thrive in propaganda and lies.

It is obvious that poverty is less prevalent in south east when compared to other regions in Nigeria,most Yorubas believe Igbos are poor because they come to south west,igbos seek opportunity and migrate anywhere they see one, even in those areas,they live better lives than the locals.Here in Lagos,the poorest neighborhoods are occupied by the Yorubas.In areas where Igbos live,you see modern and very expensive buildings.The average monthly yearly rent in my estate is 1.2m and it's occupied by mostly igbos.I don't think a poor man can comfortably pay such an amount in rent in today's Nigeria.The recent covid 19 lockdown is another good example.The Igbos were the least affected,.

It is only a fool that will believe that there are more poor people in south east than south west,apart from Lagos state,no south western state has higher standard of living than any state in the east.Even Ebonyi,an average family in Igbo land has a millionaire due to the fact that most of them are entrepreneurs.The covid lockdown was a case study as regards level of poverty in some regions in Nigeria.

Lyoncrescent:
Being poor is multidimensional and not limited to food alone and can be analysed different ways. I want to focus on Security, Health, Education and Food Security.

All these things are elitist.

If you are a VIP or a multimillionaire, just go and see your DPO and he can give you two police men to be following you around. We see it everywhere. The police is poorly trained and poorly paid and has poor investigation mechanism and structures. First role of government is securing life and property but even that they have failed and we are all victims .

If you are a VIP again , you will have access to the best hospitals and not the government rubbish ones . Even some government hospitals have private wards for VIP and rich patients and those ones are treated so highly that you won't believe that it's the same hospital. In a developed nation , health is key but here even the president runs to London when he has a health crisis. Even the middle class is not spared in the poor nature of the health sector.

Education is a tragedy. No one that has a choice will send their children to a public primary school which is the foundation. In developed nations , public primary education is the rule while private primary education is the exception while in Nigeria it is the other way around . However FG will say the school feeding program that gulps 600 million naira daily has been a success and that primary school education is not under the FG ; in other words we can feed them but we can't equip their classrooms or pay their teachers because it's not our job. And the rot is all the way to tertiary level. With the exception of Lagos Business school, no MBA program in Nigeria meets international standards of any of AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB. It's all poor.

Food security is in shambles. Why is it so expensive to transport food from Kano to Lagos ? No one has been able to answer this question. Why are incentives not given to food production and processing companies so that we all benefit one way or the other ? It's beyond me .

Nigeria is a clueless nation . When they came with surep and you win , I said nothing will change and that it will only set a dangerous precedence. Then they came again with npower , trade moni and cash transfer. Yet another misplaced priority. This schemes are supposed to be the icing on the cake; Additional initiatives to a core initiative. However there is little or no cake. Nigeria is spending more on icing than the main cake . We spend so much on helping the poor with tokenism while neglecting the core of Security,Health, Education and Food Security.

At the end of the day, we are all poor including the elites and the rich. We never know when we will be victims of this poor system. When a wayward and poor policeman may out of frustration kill a family relation, when a niece may be rushed to a teaching hospital with pregnancy complications and the doctor on call will be in his own private hospital , when the children we refused to educate will kidnap us and when lack of standards will result to us consuming poisoned beans in our mansions . In the end , being rich and living in a poor system means we are all poor .

This rot is not limited to the Federal Government. State Governors are even worse and if I use Lagos state as a case study, we won't leave here today. God help Nigeria.

you are among the very few smart Nigerians.

Hunger is a terrible thing,it turns a human to an animal.

Criminality in Lagos has gone up as a result of just two weeks lockdown,it shows how poor majority of its inhabitants are.Almost all the street junctions here are littered with weed smoking unemployed able bodied youths. It is just sad.

Very educative and helpful post.I urge everyone to imbibe social distancing habits.Covid 19 is a virus.

Number two is so on point.. Ethnicity and Religious sentiment are like cog in the wheel to Nigeria's development.Buhari is a case study.

Nigeria is a failed country, it offers no hope for it's millions of inhabitants.

Nigeria was built on a faulty foundation and can never make progress,the only solution is for it to be disjointed or restructured anything other than that is waste of time.

Fact

Nnamdi Kanu

Aguleri is no where near Orumba north local govt. Maybe you meant Aguleri in Osun state.

She is such a disgrace, everybody wants to be relevant.

Chicken hearted soldier.

Is Buhari not an old man? What is wrong with calling him an old man? OP is like you drank sour kunu?

God bless you Sir, this is the kind of leaders Nigeria need.

Mismanagement is a major problem in Nigeria, public office holders live in affluence with resource meant for development.

It is a common phenomenon everywhere in the country. Nigeria is in a mess.

@ OP why are the Yorubas always obsessed with Igbo issues? Why are you drinking panadol for another man's headache? Na waoh

Very soon those APC supporters that argue based on sentiment rather than rationality will be to ashamed to make comments on this forum.

It's so sad what Nigerian masses go through in the hands of politicians on a daily basis and it's even worse to see those suffering masses especially the jobless youths fighting themselves because of the politicians.

Why will a sane person bring up topics that encourage division among kinsmen?

Lol.. very funnny

For the fools blaming the country woes on 16yrs of PDP misrule, please how are the APC control states better? The current politicians need a total overhaul.

That's the Change they voted. Una never see something.
