Nigeria poor people, Richter country
The poverty in Nigeria affects more than 50% of its population (www.poverties.org/poverty - in - nigeria.html ) This statistics impact me so much. However, Nigeria is the third biggest economy in Africa ( www.poverties.org/poverty - in - nigeria.html ) So, we need to understand how come this happens.
One statistic said that 80 % of Nigerians live in absolute poverty, below the poverty line( www.ruralpovertyportal.org/country/home/tags/nigeria.) , even when this country gets richer thanks to the exploitation of its oil resources
Another idea of poverty in Nigeria is the rural population, because 90% of Nigerians live in rural zonas( www.ruralpovertyportal.org/country/home/tags/nigeria.) . For this reason, agriculture is a very important economy fact in the country. Agriculture provides 2/3 employees in this african country (www.ruralpovertyportal.org/country/home/tags/nigeria).Nigerians rural's people do not receive more than U$ 1.800 dollars per capita. “Several studies confirmed what was obvious to everyone : people with larger farm land, those with access to loans or production assets , as well as people closer to local markets all showed much lower poverty rates than the rest”(www.ruralpovertyportal.org/country/home/tags/nigeria.). If government invest in roads and better transportation people would have the opportunity to go to own and sell their products.
Most of articles said it is not possible to understand how Nigeria is so important producing oil in Africa and 50% of its population is so poor (www.bbc.com/news/world-africa 17015873) On the other hand ,there are many rich people too.Equity does not show in this country.
For experts, “the best way to increase income is to help small businesses” and help the access to schools and further education (www.poverties.org/poverty - in -nigeria.html). Improving human capital would mean more income and less poverty. Specially, because in Nigeria one income provides a whole family group.
Corruption, giving women more participation, creating community banking are otrher things could help a lot to fight poverty in Nigeria. The govermment still has a very important role to play in these issues. (www.poverties.org/poverty - in - nigeria.html).
At last, we have to say that Nigeria does have the natural resources to give their people a better level of living, and most of all, they have the way to make their society an equitabler place for develoment and progress.
