You're born by poor parents amidst myriad of you to come take them out of poverty they couldn't do themselves.
Not that there's a layout plan for you to achieve that, your birth is just a gamble that perhaps you may be the destiny child they've been waiting for as they rely on one of their old sayings - three generations don't dwell in poverty.

Society never lambast them for giving birth to the number they can't afford to feed but back it up for them with another useless sayings - we don't can't the number of someone's children.

If you're the first child, your living is eke out as you're constantly remembered your younger ones are there.
You can't go out with your colleagues to play as you like, denied a lot of childhood activities as you become your younger one's protector and mini-parents.

They sing it to your ears that for every good thing they're doing for you now, you'll replicate same to your younger ones.
A lot of pressure is put on you to quickly grow-up and succeed as an adult to come take over their responsibilities as parents.

And if you're the last child, you're brought up with the hope that you'll soon be enjoying one's your elder one's finishes school and secure a good job as most of family expenses had been exhausted on them and parents can't provide as before.
All promises became futile as elder one's are still battling with their life struggles and now your struggle begins.

You grew up with a lot of abuses and molestations from neighbors and acquaintances as they vividly know there's no one to come to your aid.

You struggle your way out of life chaos and hustle then when you manage to maintain a bit of stability, you're faced with another predicament.

By this time, parents are now old and weak, no retirement/investment plan to fall back on but you.

Most times this comes with old age related illness, you spend, spend and spend the little you have even with some borrowing on them till you silently wishes they just die to get relieved from this.

All uncles, elders and sisters that made fake promises are nowhere to be found as everyone carries their crosses.

You rinse and repeat and the cycle of poverty continues...

They will avoid this Thread like a Plague

The worse part is that the poor child will grow up and still repeat the same mistake of breeding like rabbits, continuing the cycle of poverty forever

The issue with the poverty circle is... it easily becomes a pattern, that only a disciplined and intentional living (backed by the mercies of God) can break.
I mentioned discipline because it takes time.

This is the part that amazes me the most.

Suffering due to lack was your lived experience; yet nothing in your coconut head is telling you that you have to do it differently to avoid same patterns.

Sometimes I regret the family I come from.

I'm the S.I unit of poverty

TRUTH is, if you're born into a poor family, you're going to suffer and suffer and struggle to break out. In the process of trying to break out, you may even die.

I couldn't learn a skill because I needed to hussle throughout and stay afloat in order to fend for myself and kid siblings. I'm regretting it now

That's when education, entertainment and sports comes in to break the cycle

See peller, cater efe, Osimhen et al

Being born into a poor family is not your fault, but remaining in the abject poverty for the rest of your life, you have no other person to blame than yourself

Society conformity is part of what is making some people to remain in same position financially.. You are not expected to do some certain things as that might question your morality at the same time they can't really help when you are in need of help as you might be seen as a lazy person

Religion also have it's dictating, rules limiting people's opportunity in being financially stable. A church that's operating 3 times in a week and choirs who are still young and vibrant are expected to be attending without being paid

Limiting beliefs also contribute part of it..There is this culture of people who failed at something discouraging others from making attempt. If you listen to them always, you might lose your potentials

The lottery of birth..painful.

If the world for instance resets, those names you mentioned will fade into oblivion.

The only career that can survive if the world resets are education, health, agriculture and IT.

Those are outliers.

Not everyone can be peller, carter efe or osimhen

not entirely your fault
You think it’s easy to break out from multi dimensional poverty?

Lorayne:

Seriously, we have many of the so called outliers out there

You are born poor is no excuse for failure at the age of like 30 and above. Yes your progress may be delayed but not denied

Between 20 and 30 years almost everyone is faced with numerous choices and decisions that can turn their lives around.

Most importantly, plenty children is no achievement

If the government of a nation refuses to build schools, hospitals, roads and other infrastructures, even the rich will become poor.

When I was working in a Spanish orchard, my boss had 15 children. 15! Yet he trained all with the help of the government and the profits from his orchard.

Poverty leads to desperation, which leads to crime and societal breakdown, not the number of children a poor couple has. If that family has enough resources with the government's efforts, they will contribute to the nation's growth.

Why is a huge population a blessing to India, but a burden to Nigeria?

There is nothing like multi dimensional poverty. The reason why it's hard for some people to escape poverty is because when they themselves are yet to be established but still want to be living around poor people like them. The self entitlement mentality from others won't allow you to succeed

A rich man in the midst of 20 poor men is also a poor man

Wait! Are you saying MDP is a farce cooked up by Western leaders to further degrade third world countries?

You might need to rephrase your question as it's confusing.

My question is not confusing. You said MDP is a scam, so I am asking you to explain further.

"There is nothing like multi dimensional poverty"

This was what you said, right?

The same thing us what is happening in my family today. My uncle gave birth to 9 kids inside one room. The man dead early and didn't enjoy his children. The same kids he left behind are still wallowing in poverty today. They are still leaving in that same one room their late father left behind for them. None of them went to school or even learn any trade or acquire skills to help themselves in the future. The same generation have continue without any plan for the future. They keep making kids with no clear plan for the future. I don't really know how they survive in this Tinubu govt.

A poor child in Nigeria faces a harsh life cycle defined by multi-dimensional poverty,
high mortality risks, and limited opportunities.

Beginning with high risks of malnutrition (40-43.6% stunted) and lack of vaccinations,
These children often enter child labor (70% hawking),

They miss formal education (10.2M out-of-school), and face violence, trapping them in generational poverty.

God help The Nigerian Child

You could have read about my explanation in what you first responded to.

Someone who is just coming out from poverty but still want to be living around poor people who are even yet to make any efforts about their lives..How do you think such kind of person will escape poverty considering the self entitlement mentality from average Nigerians

The first time I listened to Feel like by Kendrick Lamar, I questioned some certain things most especially at emboldened lyrics below

The world is endin', I'm done pretendin'
And Bleep you if you get offended
I feel like friends been overrated
I feel like the family been fakin'
I feel like the feelings are changin'
Feel like my thought of compromise is jaded
Feel like you wanna scrutinize how I made it
Feel like I ain't feelin' you all
Feel like removin' myself, no feelings

You didn't mention the lack of judicial quality,lack of sporting facilities, limited opportunities for growth, and other unseen barriers.

Once you are born into poverty in Nigeria, it may be difficult for you to escape the same poverty if you are not wise enough. Yahoo fraud, music and football has saved alot of poor children but those are the very few among them.


Having extral mouths to feed is number one problem of every poverty inflicting person. People should learn to give birth to the number of children they can easily take care of even with the little they are earning.
