Like i said u guys oroduce virtually nothing.
But want a fairytale life

Its not about poverty.

Its about productivity and reality.

What is the percentage of Nigerians that are productive, am not talking about hardworking am talking about exportable end product

This is beyond me.

In my office a level 14 officer can't feed properly.

They borrow to sustain themselves.

If our govt supports us, we can produce all that we need for a decent living.

After food, clothing, shelter, medicals everything else is optional.

If these things were reasonably accessible, nobody go dey complain
That is where you guys get it wrong, that is not the job of a government

In a country where farmers are scared to go to their farms because of insecurity and people can’t travel freely on the roads because of kidnappers, how do you expect them to be productive. Light is either unavailable or unaffordable in the country,how can people be productive? Make Una try Dey use Una head na.

Seriously speaking...how Nigerians are surviving under this regime is a miracle.
It's not really a miracle. Many are perishing. And many more are about to. Silently.

Someone who can't afford 2 meals a day, how can they afford medical care?

Life expectancy will nosedive over the next few years.

You can already the increase in various crimes.

Bros this is highly exaggerated.

Are you telling me people are not moving from Niger to port hacourt or lagos to Makurdi.

There is crime but it does not affect the whole nation

Are you saying the country is on standstill.

Talking in the nonsense dear. A capitalist economy without a middle class will crash completely. There cannot be an upper class without a middle consumer class.

And the brilliant Chimamanda whose politics and philosophies are often a terrible disappointment in comparison to her literary genius, is making the same mistake by equating the middle class with minimum wage earners.

Talking in the nonsense!
Dear Smart one

So where are the middle class right now in Nigeria of today??

Just give me where we can find them

You can find them in Toyota Camrys and Toyota Corollas every morning from about 6:00 am to 9:00 am, hurtling across the Third Mainland bridge to begin their work day. You can find them in 6 by 7 stores in Onitsha market selling anything from cosmetics to spare parts. You can find them in the Bureau of Changes of Abuja. Everywhere you look, they are looking back at you.
