(pcl. State Performance Index 2026)
You’ll think you’ve seen poverty until you visit some villages in Nigeria. Entire communities are completely cut off from governance, living in extreme poverty with no access to basic services.
There is a tweet out there where someone said "There is a type of lifestyle you'll see international students living in the University and you just know their parents are the problem of their country"
Sokoto has the highest level of poverty in Nigeria. Over a million Sokoto children are born into extreme poverty with no access to education, just roaming & sleeping on the streets. Poorest & dilapidated healthcare while bandits keep terrorizing the communities on daily basis. But let’s get a plane to be flying the less than 1% Sokoto elites and pay some online retards to call it “Development”.
The poorest region in the country got a billion naira allocation for development and the few board members allocated everything to themselves. The money meant for developing the region would be used to sponsor the luxurious lifestyle of their families, flying for vacations abroad & oppressing fools on social media. Tomorrow, the same people would be paraded as “Alhaji” and even contest for political offices while the same fools whose money was stolen would be cheering & defending them. Once again, nobody hates Northerners like Northern leaders.
