Nigeria's poverty is man-made ― Senator Sani

That is the more reason Buhari needs to be voted out in 2019. If Buhari wins second term, Nigeria is finished.

For those who still don't know let me enlighten you that in just 3 years under the lifeless dullard called Buhari Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the planet earth shattering every mind boggling poverty record there is....... see below the highlights.


Over 90 million people living in abject hopeless poverty of below 50 cents a day ( the highest in recent history)

Over 150 million Nigerians living in standard poverty of below 3 dollars a day ( another mind boggling record )

Every 6 minutes one Nigerian is being thrown into abject poverty ( highest in world )


Nigeria has more poor people in both percentage and figures ( this has never happened in the entire recorded human history)

Only 8 percent of Nigerians earn 60k a month the rest earn below


Nigeria currently has the highest number of children out of school on earth

Nigeria currently also has the highest number of displaced person and refugee on earth ..



And yes we broke all these records under the lifeless dullard.

Anybody telling you to vote Buhari is your enemy
Well said. Thank you.

We're Poor not bcuz we're not blessed now bcuz we're lazy, we're poor bcuz we're so much divided, we hate each other, we're selfish, we're not truthful, there are so many ways we can fix our problems, but the best way for me is to restructure this country, voting PDP or APC can never solve our problems, am not a Pro Buhari nor an anti Buhari, am a Nigerian who wants de best for Nigeria...
Sitting on the fence will not help Nigeria either. You want restructuring. Buhari has made it clear to you that he is against restructuring. And yet you are still sitting on the fence? Be a man (or woman), my friend.

Why ?

More poor people spread out won't increase their wealth will it ?
I guess you don't understand how the unitary system Nigeria is operating is responsible for the deep poverty in Nigeria.

Nigeria has more poor people than India - World poverty Clock.

Let everyone just pause for a minute, take a deep breath and let it sink in! India a country whose population is 6x our population has less people in absolute poverty than ours. Inida's population, 1.3bn people. Nigeria's population, 200m at most.

https://punchng.com/with-87m-poor-citizens-nigeria-overtakes-india-as-worlds-poverty-capital/

This has everything to do with the extremely weak federation we have been operating since the class of '66 seized the reins of power in this country.
Exactly.

Nigeria has overtaken India in extreme poverty ranking

Nigeria has overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extremely poor, with 87 million people living in extreme poverty according to a new report by the Brookings Institution. Paul Alaje, Senior Economist at SPM Professionals joins CNBC Africa to discuss this.

See above. I want us to go back to region system or split up. Southwest for instance had a good growth period and better HDI in the 60s and late 70s due to the blueprint of Awolowo.

Now we are left with leaders with low Iq who can simply wait for monthly income from the federal government without thinking outside the box.

There's no long term strategy as we don't speak the same language(literally and figuratively speaking). I.e. the advantage of Lagos to Nigeria cannot be overstated but how many ethnic group can approve a massive infrastructural development in Lagos without going up in arms.

Look at the politics behind the distribution of project across Nigeria and the nepotism going on.

I am a Yoruba man, but i cannot but cringe at the staunch defence of guys like Tinubu by fellow Yorubas something of which would never have happened if it's just a Yoruba republic. Tiwa n tiwa is destroying Nigeria as everyone is protecting their own out of pride.

I hope you get the idea.

On a last note, oil and gas has proven to be a curse rather blessing.
Thank you very much. You understand the cause of our problem in Nigeria. Unfortunately, the large majority don't seem to have a clue, like the guy asking you "why".

A lot of things are to be blamed but mostly sharp decline in oil prices. However while some are gnashing their teeth others are making millions from opportunities.
I hope you are one of those making millions from opportunities. Could you please let us know the area you are making your own millions?

this poverty is real o. I know some guys here who re hardworking and re doing genuine biz and were doing great. some of them now re borrowing to pay house rent. I was one of those who voted buhari in 2015, but his style of leadership is drowning Nigeria economy faster. keeping him after 2019 will bring more sorrows .not DT any other choice we make in 2019 will bring joy but buhari go bring more sorrows

Yet. Nigeria is a country that is very rich, shame to our uneducated certificate buying and certificate forging leaders.

Nigeria needs to split up. The current structure lends towards corruption and laziness by the leaders.

Why should a governor think outside the box when there's a regular monthly income from the centre.
Yes, i agree with you, Nigeria has to go there separate ways.

We are poor because the leaders are stealing and they don't have the knowledge of portfolio assign to them to generate money. They always wait on foreigners and even when foreigners comes they collect 50percent of the job fund. Thieves. Anini as a thief was better than the Nigerian leaders.
