■ If you go to church so that you will experience riches in life, bro.. you never ready. People go to chirch for different reasons... When my dad was alive, he made some of his biggest breakthroughs from the church and it wasn't cause he was shouting the loudest but because he knew the right people to interact with.
■ Go to church with the mindset to just pray to God and interact with members abd you'll see yourself join that 15% you spoke about.

Critics questioned the display of wealth, arguing it amounts to prioritising material prosperity over spiritual values.
Reacting, Adeboye, in a viral video, said: “Someone gave a bishop a car and some people got very upset that how can a bishop be driving a Rolls Royce? As if once you are a bishop you must die of hunger.
“Let me tell you my beloved children, if you die poor they will blame you; they will say after all these days of you serving God this is how you end? If you can’t pay your rent, they will say where is your God?
“If all of a sudden you start riding a Rolls Royce they will attack you, so which of the two do you choose? They are going to attack you anyway, whether you die of poverty or you live in abundance.”

■ In addition, the Lagos State Police Chief promised locals that there would be a strong police presence to provide security and uphold law and order throughout the scheduled protests.
We’re not stopping anyone from demonstrating; it’s your right to do so. We’ll guard everything to prevent criminals from taking advantage of it,” he declared.
The chief of police reaffirmed that the command would uphold its duty to make sure that no person or group would be permitted to incite violence or damage property within the state.
“Protesters shouldn’t infringe upon the rights of others or disturb the tranquility in the community. Any act of violence or lawlessness will not be tolerated.
“Independence Day is a day of celebration, but some groups of people want to use that day for other purposes.
“We as security agencies, will do all within our best to ensure that we have a good turnout for the independence celebrations. The protesters should not disturb people who want to celebrate,” he said.
The CP added: “The police will enforce the court order restricting the nationwide protests against hunger and economic hardships to Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota.
“The protesters must keep within the ambience of what the law says, no other place in Lagos is approved.”

Speak for yourself.
Cost of living differs across countries. What you see as poor wages where you stay in the US might be something else for someone who relocates there.
Even in Nigeria, professors who earn some of the highest salaries in the public service, outside of political office holders, are complaining. So everything is relative.

@ivandragon, Let me give you a rundown of how I spent my less than minimum wage money. At the time, I was earning about $11/hour at this sitter job that I did for the heck of it. I barely made $1000 each month by the way since it was more of a part-time gig too.

► Apartment rental(living with two roommates at that time) ——————————————$300 each month(utilities included)
► Fuel for an old Honda 2003 model ————— — —————————————————— $120 each month
► Food cost(I got most of the supply from the pantry every week) ——————————— $100 a month
► Health Insurance(Medicaid) ————————————————————————————Free
► Phone bill-————————————————————————————————————$30 a month
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Total monthly cost is ——————————————————————————————— $550

P.S. The above is not Juju. it is actually how I lived for a time in recent years. I saved up quite a bit by the end of that year too. This is in the U.S. by the way.

Bcus even the international poverty line set by una USA is 2$ per day.. which is just 96,000 per month

The International EXTREME Poverty Line is set at $2.15 per day. Extreme poverty is the most severe form of poverty, involving the acute deprivation of basic human needs. The World Bank classifies anyone living on less than $2.15 a day as living in extreme poverty.

People living in extreme poverty are sometimes defined as destitute.

the poorest of the poorest have access to free govt food in Nigeria in IDP Camp. Likewise the poorest of the poorest have access too Food Stamps(SNAP) etc in USA... is that the Access you are talking about

Lekan239:
■ poverty get level Some1 earning above 200k per month in Nigeria that's 125$ per month is above poverty standard in Nigeria..
■ But someone earning 1,200$ per month in USA about 2m naira is in stinking poverty

abbey621:
■ Thanks for proving my point, based on that chart, ARE YOU NOT POOR? You barely make $1000 a month and even that is not regular.
■ You rely on charity/welfare just to eat and survive yet have the guts to question my residency? Trick please, I'll school you on US history and governance if you talk to much

abbey621:
■ Again what do I have to prove to someone living in poverty? I subsidize your living o, without people like me you go starve o.

The poverty line, also known as the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), is an economic measure used to determine if a person or family's income qualifies them for certain benefits and programs. The FPL is updated annually using the Consumer Price Index to account for price changes.
Here are the 2023 and 2024 FPLs for different family sizes:
▶ Individual: $14,580 in 2023, $15,060 in 2024
▶ Family of 2: $19,720 in 2023, $20,440 in 2024
▶ Family of 3: $24,860 in 2023, $25,820 in 2024
▶ Family of 4: $30,000 in 2023, $31,200 in 2024
The FPL is used by some state and local governments, as well as private companies, to determine eligibility for programs and services. However, some programs, such as Supplemental Security Income, do not use the FPL to determine eligibility.

■ Again don't know where you got your analysis from, my main contention is disposable income to buy fuel for minimum wage worker, all the other BS you wrote na for your pocket!

abbey621:
■You're not very bright are you? I simply called out your initial analysis that $1200 can buy so much petrol(YOU FORGOT TO FACTOR IN EXPENSES).....I analyzed that $1200 and deducted expenses and showed you how a minimum wage worker might not have more than $100 left for petrol. I did this to show you how even in a country that chose to subsidize its citizens' lifestyle, the minimum wage worker is still heavily shortchanged!
