they are Nigerians, the earlier you accept it the better for you.. are you telling me there are no Hausa Christians or what? I have a Nigerian friend in Ghana and he is from southern kaduna. he is a Christian and a proud Hausa. so as you see, there are Christian northerners who dress like that.

What area of specialty is your universities good at?

When we say other countries are doing well than the supposed Giant of Africa .. a report like this buttresses our claim .. until you improve in the issues highlighted in this report, other countries won't buy into your giant status.

The Inequality report released by Oxfam International on Wednesday, revealed that the combine wealth of five richest Nigerians, put at $29.9 billion, could end extreme poverty in the country.

The report, entitled ‘Inequality in Nigeria, Exploring the Drivers and obtained in Abuja, exposed the large and growing gap between the rich and poor in Nigeria.

It revealed that the benefits of the nation’s economic growth had been captured by a few wealthy elite at the expense of the ordinary Nigerians.

According to the report, the economic inequality is a key factor in the conflict in the North-Eastern states of the country.

Oxfam International also disclosed that Nigeria’s richest man earned 8,000 times more in one day than a poor Nigerian would spend on basic needs in a year.

It said that more than 112 million people were living in poverty in Nigeria, yet the country’s richest man spent one million dollars a day for 42 years to exhaust his fortune.

According to the report, Nigeria is one of the few countries where the number of people living in poverty is on the increase despite the growth of the economy.

The report also indicated that 69 per cent of people now live below the poverty line in North-Eastern states, compared to the 49 per cent in the South-West.

It also showed that women were not being captured on the benefits of economic growth because they tended to be employed in low-skilled, low-paid informal jobs.

According to the organisation, women represent between 60 per cent and 79 per cent of Nigeria’s rural labour force but are five times less likely to own their own land than men.

It further stated that women were also less likely to have had a decent education, noting that over three quarters of the poorest women in Nigeria had never been to school.

The report said that poor people did not benefit from Nigeria’s wealth because of high level of corruption and the excessive influence big business and some wealthy elite had over government and policy making.

According to the report, public office holders steal estimated 20 trillion dollars from the treasury between 1960 and 2005, while multinational companies receive tax incentives estimated at 2.9 billion dollars a year.

This development it said was three times more than Nigeria’s entire health budget.

It further revealed that small and medium size businesses and workers in the informal sector, however, faced multiple taxes.

“Despite being Africa’s biggest economy, the share of the national budget allocated to education, health and social protection is one of the lowest in the region.

“In 2012, Nigeria spent just 6.5 per cent of its national budget on education and just 3.5 per cent on health.

“By comparison, Ghana spent 18.5 per cent and 12.8 per cent, respectively in 2015.

‘’As a result, 57 million Nigerians lack safe water, over 130 million lack adequate sanitation and the country has more than 10 million children out of school.“ it stated.

Commenting on the report, Mr Celestine Odo, Good Governance Programme Coordinator for Oxfam in Nigeria, said extreme inequality was undermining the economy and fermenting social unrest.

According to him, Nigerian leaders must be more determined to tackling this terrible problem.

Odo said that it was an irony that Nigerians were living in poverty in spite the abundance of wealth in the country.

He said it was important to free millions of Nigerians from poverty by building a new political and economic system that would work for everyone and not just a fortunate few.

“The government can make a start by tackling corruption, ensuring big business and wealthy individuals pay their fair share of tax, investing in vital public services, and protecting the rights of women,” Odo said.

shervydman:
I LAUGH

Show me the better people your university has made out there. The rest is inconsequential as far as this discussion is concern.

Don't even try to equal your universities with S.A and Egypt, that is irrelevant.

yes there are lot of silent billionaire in ghana. The likes of citizen kofi who brought western unioun to africa ,dr kwame addo kuffour ,dr sam E jonah. The reason you did not hear much about them is that they prefer their privacy . You can read about them

My loyal lethaldog/beast,there you go again with your usual stup!dity,always farting with your mouth.So because I read in a book a long time ago that a muslim founded a place then I must commit his name to memory?You should slap yourself for your stupid!ty.Are you ghanaians so mannerless and childish you just insult for the sake of it?Well,just to indulge your fool!shness,I looked for his name online and it's Shehe Mvita 'who is remembered as a muslim of great learning.Kenyan school history place the founding of Mombasa as 900AD'.Even the kenyans who are smarter than you, ghanaian lazy illiterate arseh.les didn't counter the information.I like it when dogs/beasts like you follow me around on a leash.Nothing beats the feeling.

freshest4live:
Yeah where is Taysamari and Hati? It's been a while.

freshest4live:
Wrong, Nigerians here have accepted everything wrong with us and we have never shyed away from our problems. The Kenyans and Ghanians here lie a lot, and would rather paint a glorious picture of their states for us and repeat things about Nigeria we already know, then magnify them to belittle Nigeria even when they suffer worse. So you got it all wrong.
We may suffer giant problems but that has never put the likes of Kenya and Ghana ahead of us, only deluded folks would think so.

CocoMilian:
So now its Kenyans and Ghanaians belittling Nigeria
Why am I not shocked,Nigerians will twist,contradict and think they know it all about other countries just to make us look small and make their point right. Are you not Nigerian mr So since when do you know Kenya and Ghana more than us to make you say we r liars?? smh
Firstly I will repeat sth obvious,Kenya is tourist destination, when we post pics we are not boasting or trying to paint a glorious picture of Kenya. We all know the media,esp western medias paint Africa as a whole as backward,filthy and full of poverty. Which isn't the case. So when we show the good aspects of Kenya and its beauty instead of criticizing and belittling you should appreciate. Same way as any African country showing casing what they have we would all appreciate and see how we can benefit from each other as countries. But Nigerians!!!! They will attack at anything positive coming out of another country that isn't Nigeria infact its you who will boast of how "its a Nigerian who did this and that or its a Nigerian owned company owning a large share in our country(Kenya for instance).
Infact no kenyan here has claimed we are perfect, we have our problems too that we haven't denied unlike u. So your the ones who are getting it all wrong.
The ignorant should just accept some facts that other African countries are ahead in some aspects,than Nigeria just as Nigeria is,in other aspects.And stop feeding your ego at the expense of other countries' weaknesses. and claim to be the so called "giant of Africa" . Its your ignorance and pride that will cost you that title as other African countries become greater while Nigeria......well lemmie leave it at that.
