I have always seen homelessness and poverty as the powerful telling me that if I don't work hard enough, if I don't butter them up hard enough, if I don't struggle hard enough; i will end up in the streets.

My dad is a huge capitalist, someone who values the market system but he will tell me that this things he earned was in replacement of his health. He longs for the day he will retire then rest; but that day cannot come because there's always an increase in prices, inflation and low income brackets.

" Work smart not hard, people will take advantage of it" he rang in my ears everyday.

The country have to be poor in order for the politicians to enjoy the money. You will rather work as a slave knowing that at least you have #10, 000 than be a victim of the ageberos slapping you because you're in their tuff

I'm a lawyer.
I'm barely staying afloat with my family.
Two kids.
This country has gone to the dogs

This guy dosent have a single bad video

[rickmarshall]

Absolutely right. Poverty is a trillion dollar business. I've been saying it for years. When you are in poverty, religious institutions make money selling you hope, political leaders mean money selling you hope, weapon sells increase, big pharma can test more drugs when insurance is out of the picture, banks make money on foreign aid and natural resources, trafficking increases, etc.

You are an EXCELLENT YOUTUBER!! story telling is the best I have seen in Africa!

"The reason poverty flourishes in a blessed nation like ours is because the rich benefits from it"

[raphnwokobia]

The visionless leadership in Nigeria decided to invest in Lagos- Calabar coastal road instead of investing in Agriculture.

1997, I was in JSS1, my friend told me that if I want to pass integrated science test, I should give Mr Onifade 40 naira and I'll pass. People leave their villages to come to Lagos, Kaduna and Maiduguri to join the police with the believe that they'll make it with collecting bribe. That is the foundation of poverty, government is not our problem in Africa if we can stand up and speak up for once, but no one is ready to die. Nobody wan die

[chisomstanley]

Your story is not for the faint hearted. I'm glad God lifted you up. Keep up with the good work.

[heraldloshi]

It is not just a Nigerian problem. We witness the same in a huge chunk of East Africa, where I am.

[mubaraksaeedkpalo]

When the poor finally have nothing to eat, the rich become the food😢😢😢

[usmanabolaji]

Nigeria would not be liberated until the North is liberated

Who else liked the video without watching it❤

[dehvvd]

Bro I’m glad you were able to get back on your feet.

Awesome video, Mr. Jude!
In my opinion, the citizens have to help themselves because either politicians don't seem to care or they are overwhelmed.

You are a bright mind. If you have a connection to those who can speak Hausa fluently (I don't know if you can), you can start an NGO that strives to discourage Nigerians from the North from "breeding" children they cannot cater for. Nation-building is a collective responsibility.

In 2015, I worked in a small company in Lagos and our security guard from Maiduguri who earned 25k at the time told me he had two wives and 7 children in Maiduguri. What's a man who earns 25k doing with two wives and 7 children? We cannot keep recycling poverty in Nigeria.

Jude Bela my namesake. One of the rare knowledgeable bloggers in Nigeria. His quest for well researched topics that benefits humanity, topics that enriches you or armed you with a new knowledge or even skill is the reason why I check up on him for new presentation delivered in a flawless Queen English.
Good job Mr Bela. Hopefully you are getting something in return for all of this hard work
Pls keep candle burning👍.

[emmanuelogale]

To fully understand any problem in Nigeria, don't focus on who suffers from it, but who benefits from it. Great Job Jude!

[DanielLawson]

One day, the poor will have nothing to eat but the rich !Thank you Jude for this informative piece.

[samijay]

It's almost on everywhere in Africa and the world. Poverty is the best weapon for the Rich

[oluwaseyisubair]

That's the major problem of the north, the rich doesn't want the poor to breath so dat they can use them easily. They are the one truly drawling Nigeria backwards 🇳🇬
