There are three classes in any society:

The poor, the rich and the wealthy

However in Nigeria of today, we have:

The rich, the poor and the poorest.

I dont think its up to ten per cent. Prolly around 2 per cent.
Hope you know that Human development index in the West Bank is much higher than that of Nigeria and life expectancy in Gaza (74 years) is still far higher than in Nigeria. The real genocide I see is happening in your country.
Anyway let's fight for Gaza.

Tinubu government and administration and his economic policies and reforms does not benefit the poor.. putting the poor people more into poverty, hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living, high rate of unemployment...

The problem is not the 10%
The problem is the other 90%, they are docile, contented with the crumbs given to them by the 10%
Once they give them LAWMA job or give their mother and father small contract like this, they can't reason again

110million of the over 130million Nigerians that are poor supports apc
Less than 29 million Nigerian votes were counted. The majority of Nigerians are too ignorant to vote. So their votes are counted for them. You can't have democracy in a country where the majority are illiterate.

[quote author=badaru911 post=136385570]... You are also part of the 90% whether you be Apc shit supporters or not...

YESSSS ohhh!!!.
But it gets annoying when the APC youths continue to think every criticism against the government has to be robustly defended because NA OUR MAN MAN DEY THERE". Meanwhile, they are even MORE AFFECTED.

I pity those who ENJOYED THE BRIEF "WIFI BLAZING, AC PUMPING, JOLLOF RICE STEAMING",without that those few CREATURE COMFORTS are their EVERYDAY RIGHTS.🤪😜.

Well said. Begging and handouts are the name of the game for 90%. Tinubu is building a road to nowhere (Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road ) while 30 million Nigerians are suffering from hunger in Bornu.

The simple fact is because 90% of Nigerians are foolish absolutely and this is why the 10% using them are comfortable

Tinubu came to fulfil the promise of bringing pain, poverty, and Hunger and the Governors are very good at following Tinubu’s Legacy

Nigerians have not yet woken up. Things may still get radically worse in the coming years.
Nigerians need to start focusing on the policy promises of politicians rather than their tribe or their religion.

Nigeria is relatively rich in resources but its people are amongst the poorest in the world. Even poor landlocked countries in Africa have citizens living better than Nigeria.

IQ maps of the world show that west Africans have the lowest IQ on earth. This isn’t indicative of our individual educational abilities but our inability to solve collective problems. The irony is clear seeing that the highest rate of educated immigrants in America are Nigerians, yet in Nigeria, rather than have power stations, everyone has a generator set, rather than have water treatment plants, everyone has a well or a borehole.

The solutions to Nigeria’s problems include raising taxes on properties, imported cars, clothes and phone and spending the generated money on public education. Taxes need to be raised to reduce the pressure on the naira. This is the solution in my view.

CoronaVirusPro:
You only buttressed my earlier point. Look at the mathematics you tabled down for just living a basic life.

Do we that here in Nigeria? We buy own, build wealth that is ours and not the jointly owned with banks. At our demise, we guaranteed transfer to the next of kin without foreclosure or liens showing up.

I am sure you can attest how we live care free and at peace with ourselves no matter the situation. It’s because we owe nobody. All we own is ours. Losing our jobs does not send shockwaves that could make us lose our homes.

It’s a real world here in Nigeria. No fictions or mirages. What you see is real. Nigerians invest too. They make money from stocks, treasury bills, mutual funds and still have the opportunity to invest in foreign stocks- All real assets.

Have looked up the consumer debt of most of these countries? It’s more than the total debt of Nigeria.

Why you find them worried and running like a clock. They look healthy and normal but not at peace.

Look at the mathematics you put up there for just owning a home and getting into investment. The mentality that staying indebted is healthy so you don’t have to pay off your home.

Please come to Nigeria and see real ballers indebted to nobody. They live in a real world.
