There are so many reasons why poverty has been the main problems of average Nigerians.
The main reaon I deduced from my own perspective is early marriage .Ask me why i said it is early marriage,you ought to ask me why i didnt mention Education.For example,a guy who is still under the roof of his parents who has nothing to render to girls keeps on running after ladies.If that guy is unfortunate,the girls is pregnant and do you know believe a guy who has no work at hand,who is not capable of feeding himself to cater for wife and a child.
This is where the poverty starts from,the guy will begins struggle out there for the needs of life which will not not easy.If that kind of child is being in poverty,there is probability that the child is deprived from the right to education and not only on education alone,its also includes other rights thats needs to be given to such child.This rights won't be done t o the child due to poverty.And if such ill luck is repeated again thats how poverty increases from one genaeration to another.
Can you now see the reason why I mentioned early marriage as the causage organism of poverty,its interwoven.I want other writers to give their opinions the reasons why poverty keeps run in active in Nigeria over decades ago.
Yes...ignorance of not knowing the step to take in succeeding in life
