greedy rich powerful people that simply do not give a fuck about common folks.
I’m definitely certain you are not from Nigeria but you already know so much about the behavior of our leaders. It’s so unfair how one will be this selfish and be so concerned about themselves and their family and not care about the people who elected them in.

Nigeria is country that is well known as a typical agricultural nation which was once the mainstay to the country economy and because of the agricultural strength of the country compel them to have their flag as Green White Green which signify agriculture and peace but it baffles me to see the level of hunger going on in Nigeria now to the extend that an average Nigerian cannot boast of feeding himself and family three square meal per day.
What could be the root cause of this hunger in a country that has all it takes including human capitals and natural resources to make a great nation that the whole would will cherish and envy.
From the post title i was so sure the post was about Nigeria even without reading the body of the post

Everything is down to the mismanagement of the resources and it’s all as a result of bad governance. The level of hunger in the country is getting high and worse every year and it seems to be getting worse with every new leader elected. Now most households have now settled for two square meals per day and some even struggling to get one meal a day but the leaders are not concerned about this, they seem to be more concerned about changing the country’s national anthem instead of solving more serious problems.

The cause of all the suffering and hunger the people of the country are facing is bad governance, greediness of the people in power and corruption. Any government that doesn’t prioritize the people’s needs over their own personal interests will end up mismanaging the country’s resources.

I will let you in on a secret most countries have 2-4% of the people with great wealth this group is vicious and constantly tries hurting  the  96-98% of the poor or middle class. The has been going on for centuries.
