An analysis on the Causes of Poverty Can
anyone really define poverty? At least not more than a man who hardly gets a meal
a day, at least not more than a child who puts on one set of clothes for a
year, or a home of seven children in a room apartment or a constant meal of
processed cassava soaked in water so as to multiply. The United nations have
clearly stated that a man is said to be poor if he doesn't spend above two
dollars a day, going by that poverty seems to be closer than it seems and that
means almost one out of every five Nigerians are poor.
Poverty is indeed a chronic disease, it made a woman sell her baby for 20,000 Naira, it made a man order his wife to sleep with his boss so as to get a promotion in the office
