When everyone was clamouring for this total lockdown I kept on reiterating that it will not work in a country like Nigeria. Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, most middle class/pseudo middle class people don& #39;t get that most Nigerians depend on daily income to feed their
Families. With youths making up more than 50% of our population and unemployment over 30% you expect the government to at least put palliative measures in place that will take care of these gigantic population. But no you expect the agbero/vulcanizer/keke drivers to stay indoors
Without food and any money to take care of themselves and their families. The worst part is that the #OgunUnrestMore is just the beginning and Lagos State hooligans will soon start their own. Guess who& #39;s gonna be their first target? The so called middle class, not the elites or
Political class cos those ones will be off limits for now and if things don& #39;t abate they& #39;ll run away with their families to a safer environment. The best thing for the government to do is to either:
1. Start sharing money from the grassroots to these families (not the audio one

We can& #39;t be doing copy and paste policies, copying the western world when our economy is shit. People need to go out and look for daily bread. As it stands now the poor is more scared of hunger than covid_19.

A famous quote says "when the poor don& #39;t have anything to eat anymore, they& #39;ll start eating the rich" in the case of Nigeria that quote should be rephrased thus "when the poor run out what to eat, they& #39;ll start eating the middle class"
