Nonsense.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Please don't repeat this sir. It is completely wrong and clearly elitist or lack of understanding of developmental microeconomics.

Even in High School economics, poverty cycle is taught.Those items being donated by LASG are items that have greater and quicker impact on taking people out of poverty cycle. It comes from position of knowledge and I commend the government.

They are targeted at women and women are more likely to prioritise the feeding of their children than men and these women may now have extra to save in ajo on a daily basis after meeting basic survival needs. So while it may take years to finish major infrastructures, these women can survive until then.
To escape the poverty trap, the first thing you must achieve is savings followed by investment. Poor people, world over, hardly have enough to spend on basic needs, let alone have anything left to save.

This is very commendable in a place like Lagos but I am not sure it will work in Osun, probably the women may need agricultural tools than sewing machines.

In Nigeria, urban dwellers are actually those cheating the poor in the villages; for years, even without having roads , internet, water ,cars and electricity, they were picking up the bills used to fund petrol and electricity subsidy of their urban dwelling relatives to the point that nothing is left in national budgets even to buy medicines in their village cottage clinics.

If a developmental revolution must begin in Nigeria, it must start from those villages to shift resources to helping our poor in the villages not this elitist one by endSars protest or political state actors like Sowore.

The revolution must be organic and bottom up from the cheated Nigerian villagers and whoever must lead it should be from among them. Not those junketting around in brief cases calling themselves development expert. Our poor villagers must force government to give them a substitute of the subsidies their urban relatives are enjoying or enjoyed for years.

They must impose special developmental tax on their relatives returning to the villages and such funds must be used to fund their own economic and political activities.

We had a similar one with the Agbekoya and India is on the throes of one with the riots by farmers for days now. Those farmers are the real poor who are now piling pressure on Indian government.

This 24hr internet dwelling lifestyle itself that makes one privileged subsidy-enjoying Nigerian to be suggesting that the poor denied of everything do not need empowerment , itself is a reflection of how Nigerian urban dwellers think. They hardly imagine that the internet itself is a luxury these poor villagers can't afford yet pick up bills for those whose stock in trade is sabotaging the country after enjoying far more privileges than the real poor Nigerians in our villages.


If you are a villager privileged to read this, please note that your redemption and economic liberation is not in the hands of your urban relatives, as a matter of fact, they are part of the burden you carry.

To emancipate yourself, organize and insist that for any subsidy or privilege given to your urban dwelling relatives, an equivalent of it must be provided for your villages too.

Everything is not about those who have access to internet and can write English, there are real people suffering from the way government give more priority to the loud urban dwelling Nigerians but the lives of the poor especially in our villages too matter.

I can repeat this once again that this is not what our people need, can they access a medical health care with what ever they made from this, can they give their kids quality education from this,can they pay NEPA bill from this,can they rent affordable housing rent from this, can they give their kids balance dietary from this our problem goes beyond all this trash

seguno2:
Please what is the unemployment/underemployment rate in America and Europe
Is it not too early to say rubbish and self-injure on the way to committing suicide?

Our fore fathers never worked for anybody true or false?, they worked for themselves and they are supported by their wives and children in their businesses.
So you don't know that people fly into other countries like Australia to earn a living, harvesting agricultural products and it's and annual thing?.
Just imagine that Nigerians all this while had improved on our fathers agricultural bussinesses, don't you think people will be flying into Nigeria to participate in planting and harvesting, and we won't be here discussing poverty alleviation?
Why are Nigerians fixated on white collar jobs, how many companies, did our fore fathers left behind?, the only thing they left behind is farming and we have fled from it.
What useless employment and underemployment are you talking about?, you better go and read about the history of Europe before they got to where they are today.
Why do you think their fathers had to go all over the world to kill, destroy and loot?.
The money that Eurozone and America is leveraging on today are all stolen money and have they stopped? the stealing continues through their proxies everywhere.
The earlier people understand the better, that few jobs are available and people needs to stand on their own.

Just pick up a very good economics textbook and read about what puts people in poverty trap.
All these you suggested don't immediately lift people our of poverty.
I know it could be a waste of time explaining why you don't get It sir.

You will still, as a systemically-privileged city elite-educated Nigerian, think that efficient NEPA functioning well (sold at N56 per Kilowat/hr still priced out of reach of poor people) after elite-spending of almost $20B can lift the really poor out of poverty.

That is how most you think. You see their needs through your privileged prism.
Sir, poor people don't need NEPA or IKEDC to quickly escape the poverty trap.

I apologize in advance if I no longer respond to your comments sir.
Have a great day and weekend ahead.

One question for you in all these your epistle to launder poverty and low-living,

Can you recommend any of these items for any of your family member?

Waiting for your answer?

Yes or No?

Don't shalaye!

Thank you

Cutealexio:
YOU don't need empowerment, please personalize it. Those things you stated are also needed but please don't say " We don't need empowerment " do you know how poverty alleviation works?

Poverty alleviation works in a conduisive business environment.

It's safe to say many of you just write for writing sake without infusing the present treasury of things in your commentary.

Poems and prose don't run the economy ..

Thank you

Who made you poor, you better wake up and smell the coffee, your life is what you make it.
So who made people poor in America, and Europe or you think there are no poor people there too?.
Get a better life for yourself, don't wait for whatever life throws at you.
The Quest for a better future, is what differentiate the rich, and the average, from the poor, the people you call " the poor " attend party every weekend wearing newly made aso ebi. , yet they are poor.
Some people leave their homes by 4 am in the morning to go do their jobs, they don't even have time to attend parties as all they do is work.
These people are not mad, they just don't like the idea of waiting for handouts.
Stop being uneccessarily emotional, life is a just employer too, it will pay you for as much as you are willing to put in, don't settle for less.
Good morning.

Sorry to say!

You ended up writing nonsense with lots of words, your attemp at trying to motivate people out of holding the government accountable to their constitutional responsibility just failed!

Try something else or keep shut when you don't have anything meaningful to say with regards the topic on ground.

Yes. If a poor widow in my family grinds pepper daily and sell pepper by the side on a busy street, she will go home with like 1500 daily and more than that at weekends.She can do N500 ajo which gives like N1m in about 5 years. So she becomes a millionaire in less time it takes to finish even primary school.

She won't be wasting time and resources on the social media so she will be fairly richer than most of the people wasting their time online.

Commend the Lagos government all you like but it still doesn't negate the fact that this is a drop in the ocean and definitely not what we need at this point.

As the guy you quoted said, conducive environment is all what creatives in this country need - quality infrastructure, funding, inflow of foreign investment, good education system, stable economy, sound healthcare. This is what Nigerians need not this cosmetic schemes. Its even embarrassing that in this day and age this government is handing out sewing and grinding machines as a means of poverty alleviation. Disgraceful

1981-2015 China lifted 400+ million people out of poverty through massive investment in industry and infrastructure, as a result the poverty rate has been decreased substantially. Let's learn from them.

Good morning.

In a country where 51% of its population are living in extreme poverty, it tell you there is more than what you need to know. Yeah, hardwork pays, I agree, but government policies and institutions go a long way in creating economic opportunities for citizens. Nigerian political elites have failed massively in providing this basic enabling environment who is shameful.

Everybody must be grinding people or a tailor, we still have a long way to go.

CoolAmbience:
Even when you have good leadership and the rest, people still need to be empowered.

Empower with manual sewing and grinding machines? I don't blame your whack reasoning all I blame is the inherently corrupt leaders that hardwired the average Nigerian to wholly accept mediocrity and ineptness.

I weep for my motherland for it is in a pathetic situation .

See man pikin wey get sense, god bless your mama.

Its quite pathetic that most Nigerians accept mediocrity and see it as the norm.

Why not buy industrial machine? This is not empowerment! Those people you felt you re helping can buy that ordinary machine but had it been you used the 16billion Covid 19 fund they gave you during the Covide19 period to buy the bigger industrial machine better for you and for those that you hand over those common machine on. If people on social media will praise you because they felt you did so well, my guy, you did nothing! Simple! Come and slap me!

Intensive for party faithful.... Check my signature jare

Nonsense empowerment

I'm not disputing the fact that those things if truly shared will improve the standard of living of the beneficiaries but it's obviously clear that our governments lack focus. We have many people with ideas that could employ many more but lack the financial capacity to go about it, the government aren't doing anything about that. Even those with the financial power still find it difficult to market their product here due to poor government policies and cost of production. Government can actually lease out land to farmers, get most modern farming equipment, and even employ the service of farmers to work for them all in the name of boosting food production but they won't do that. Government can build industries in their state to improve IGR and at the same time reduce the level of unemployment but they won't.
we are here praising their empowerment that will only have little impact on the beneficiaries.

sewin machines na empowerment?instead of buyin tractors and harvesters to build more farms grow foods,reduce commodity prices and export to earn forex ,you are doin micro,either ppl in govt are incredibly or they are incredibly wicked...

farming in Lagos

You sound ignorant and uniformed (no apologies). No developed country ever relied on a single sector of it's economy for growth and stability. Diversification is key.

Agriculture in most developed countries doesn't even contribute much to their GDP, mostly 1 - 5% at most. Why do you think most economies are
increasingly going the service route?
