In a nation where we don’t have a succint national statistics of human population data, econimc blue prints and demographic information on acurate progression or retrogression rates, then conjectures becomes inevitable, hence is the acclaimed Federal Government’s achievement of the 10.073 million people swap out of poverty to prosperity in the last 3 years sounds more demeaning and fictitious from a figment of the devil’s imagination, which could be better related to an open air crusade declaration, apologies to the Christian faithfuls.
One can clearly see, even the visually impaired can feel the gross amounts of hardships and monumental poverty across the nation, which justifies admittance of failure of less than 0.5% pass mark, consequently believed to be another lie from the pit of hell, that out of over 200 million people only 10.073 was salvaged from poverty to prosperity; a viteous crime against humanity and treacherous sacrilege has just committed by the Muhammodu Buhari led administration, even the international community and rating agencies ranks Nigeria the worst leaving place on earth, meaning we are domiciled in a poverty island, a negation of their cliams.
We Nigerians knows that these government have succeeded to lift more corrupt people from ordinary prosperity to advance corruption prosperity level, a crystal clear evidence as witnessed in the amount of widened lacunas and disconnects between the people and government, wherein the majority of Nigerians are leaving below poverty level from Hand to Mouth daily, with added burden of economic woes and hyper inflation rates, making life nasty, brutish and short for them.
I can clearly reiterate that more hardworking Nigerians have been conspicuously driven from their average prosperity to more deadly poverty dungeon by this administration than any other, for instance no adequate salary payment to workers, the weakened Naira exchange rate is unexplainable, the astronomical fuel pump increase is totally abysmal and despotic, massive loss of jobs, unemployment leading to millions of Nigerian youths deaths on the Mediterranean Sea and subjected to unbearable pains and agony as slaves in the middle east via Libya, Morocco, degrading Education, unattended deficits in Agriculture and abandoned Health sector, coupled with non budget performance, which is historically on its lowest ratio.
Based on this premise, this are indicators to show that we are cloak in gown of abject poverty, hence my submission that we need to let the government realize it cannot continue to rob the people and survive on penchant of lies Island, except it wakes up to reality and revamp her desecrated reposed and long lost confidence, especially the breach of her 2015 campaigned change mantra promised to all Nigerians.
2019: shall determine the actual results and performance of this government.
