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

Hmmmmmm, so it still plenty like dis?
God save 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

When the nation is compromised at all levels, there will be poverty.

Wealth is like a river. When it is judiciously utilized fairly and honestly, the poor man will become comfortable and help other poor people like himself.

Multi-dimemsional poverty is scary, especially in Nigeria. We should not let politicians pull wool over our eyes.

The attached comments below is also part of what's making some people not to escape poverty as it has been designed by our elites.

Money management supposed to be a mandatory study from primary school, secondary school and first degree. But no, they want you to be indebted as it was designed

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.

Football and music may save a fraction due to favouritism or other barriers. Pause and think of the millions whom football and music couldn't save. What happens to them?

They become willing tools for destabilization, thuggery, cultism, even terrorism.

As for fraud, this is where societal breakdown happened: thinking that stealing sounds cliche and a saviour presenting unlimited riches.

If the government has done it's homework, perhaps there will be less poor people.

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

See peller, cater efe, Osimhen et al

Sports and entertainment have very limited capacity to move people out of poverty...as only the very best are considered good enough...for every Osimhen there are millions of others better than him may be but just not lucky enough.

For entertainment. Several one album wonders that escaped momentarily and went back with full.force. yet the majority never even went beyond the very bottom of the pyramid.

Education has the capacity to liberate millions but the Nigerian education system has been so badly de-constructed it takes God almighty to help.

For every time a Nigerian child is born in Nigeria, he automatically faces a thousand legions of known and unknown forces.

Only a destined few are lucky.

One of the characteristics of living things as we were taught in basic biology is REPRODUCTION. People must reproduce no matter the length of epistle anyone posts discouraging people from giving birth!

The concept of rich or poor was created by men and using that as bases to determine who should reproduce or not is antinatalistic and unsustainable!

In life, both rich, the not so rich and the poor must continue to exist otherwise, life becomes monotonous, unenjoyable and meaningless. The good thing is that the three positions are not static as people can go from one to the other.

This is Ibo culture and has nothing to do with Nigeria, when did Ibos turn Nigeria

Money management is good, but what's money management without education?

That's why a proactive government should give more priority to acquisition of skills and less paper certifications. Also the government should roll out a two-child or three-child policy and severely persecute those who flout the rule. Lastly, the government should make religion and politics less juicy, which will make capable and right-thinking people use their talents to take the nation on the path of progress and development.

Will the Nigerian government adopt this? Well, you have your answer.

Fantastic!

But should the "rich, not so rich and poor" live above their capacity?

This is where life education comes in: to teach people to live within their means (reproduction included) and the consequences of a person trying to do the opposite.

Even the holy books of the religion we put high above our personal development says that moderation is the key.

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

Most interesting part above is about the church which conducts services three times a week and the church's choiristers practicing, who knows how many times a week.
There are many people I know in this church choir example who were born poor and ended up poor at old age

I don block many ambassadors of breeding of children in poverty on this thread, especially that one wey no get Job.

Of course, there should be moderation just like in every other thing in life.
Again, parents should try to provide the basics for their children but the idea of making wealth and keeping for their children to enjoy is not very proper.

Children should be provided the basics like education, food, healthcare, shelter and so on. They should also be taught the ropes to making money. However, amassing money with the hope of keeping such for your children and grandchildren is not proper, especially when one has to loot public treasury and do all manner of evil just to make so much money for one's children.

Honestey:
As true as this write up is, it's just a tip of an iceberg in the reality of being a child of poor parents, ones who especially have no legacy for their children to fall back to when things aren't working out well for them.
The society complicates the issue for them as the poor guy is trying to avoid marriage, once reached certain age, the family, friends, colleagues and just anyone else start to ask the poor guy about his wife or her husband. In the end,

He would have no choice but to venture into the marriage that in itself is nothing but a social trap to keep you on the very path your parents toured.

Lol it's obvious you haven't met me and my likes. If you like shout from now till kingdom come. I won't shift my ground.

This only applies to WEAK guys and men.

Nigeriaa's type of POVERTY is a big Speell and Cuuurse. More like being confined into the Abyss.

No Intelligent & Well Informed MAN would want to venture into marriage while being financially unstable in Nigeriaa.

Yes, reason I said ' very few' among them in my writeup.

Government has failed us totally but let us too plan well for our lives especially on the number of children we gives birth to. Children spent over 80 percent of income of a family, so imaging having 3 or more children when you are not a multimillionaire. It is very easy for a focus single person to succeed in Nigeria compare to when you have multiple mouths to feed. No country in the world will have Nigeria population aside China and USA that can have a robust humans development. We are more than 40 countries in Europe combine, and we all expect our limited resources to be enough for us all.

Our fathers and forefahers era were different, they have resources in nature to take care of multiple children, in some cases, their thinking and ambition for the progress of their children were also limited.

Those are just very few of the millions out there. There are millions out there who tried same paths but didn’t work. In all I will say successive governments also failed the people.

I totally agree with you. Someone born into a poor family in a third world country like Nigeria is already cooked for life except he takes some daring steps and break the rules. We know successive governments have failed miserably which has led to what we have today. Another thing is religion which you pointed out. It is disastrous to be born into a poor family and be very religious at the same time.

Ogbeni, I have a question for you. You don pass English for WAEC? 🤔

What kind of silly question is this ? You want to be more English than the English man ? Lol
Atleast you got the message he passed.

TheStoriesOfMan:
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?

Lol, huge population a blessing to India? Have you been there before? Because I was there and the sight is not what you will like

I have been running generator since friday.

There has been Power Outage for over 48 Hours in Lagos. This has become a NORM now. National grid must have Issues every eke market days😂

My own take is, no SANNE person in this condition will be thinking of marriage talk more of bringing children forth to Nigeriaa.

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.

This is a very simplistic take.

Still a very small fraction compared to the millions out there wallowing in penury. After Olamide blew out from Bariga. How many boys have blown from the same hood like Olamide ? And I can tell you there are thousands of youngies out there in same bariga better than Olamide.

Stop talking nonsense bro,sometimes when things goes our way we usually think that we're smart and others are stupid, the truth is that vast majority of the people born into poverty will surely die in poverty, yes every now and then one or two might manage to escape from it,but it'll never happen for everyone...it is only through the grace of God almighty tbh.

He who the gods crack their kernel should not think that others are lazy
