Let me break this down real quick. Nigeria.
• 1 in 5 “out-of school” children in the WORLD is a Nigerian.
• Nigeria provides *adequate* healthcare for only about 3% of its population.
• Poverty capital of the world - 83 million people in Nigeria are by all standards, poor.
• Youth political participation in nigeria is still 30% and this is its peak btw.
• 57 million dont have access to water. 130 million without access to proper sanitation of any kind.
• Unemployment rate is 27%. Approximately 56 millions Nigerians do not have a job
•Our entrepreneurship index is one of the highest in the world. And the highest in West Africa at 20.8%. Kindly note however our entrepreneurship favorability isn’t as high. With the likelihood of at least 73% of these jobs ending in loss
•3rd highest rates of FGM in the world
With all this in mind, kindly note that Nigeria is economically the richest country in Africa and top 30 in the WORLD with our GDP at $446.543 Billion.

Funny how we still ranked 174 out of 180 for countries where a child can flourish. Read that again slowly.
Y’all can fact check all this btw. I could literally go on for another 50 threads.

Fact is. As a Nigerian, specifically a young Nigerian, you are doomed. If it isn’t police brutality or shitty healthcare, it’s the economy. If you are not a failure, note that you’re a minority.
With all of this, and again this is barely scratching the surface of things, your government chooses to focus on social media and looting. Let it not be lost on you, the real “hoodlums” are the people in power.
