Let's Talk Naija: Why Are Nigerians Living In Abject Poverty Though Sourrounded By Sources of Incredible Wealth?

I really get frustrated when I read about the wealth nature has blessed Nigeria with. Today I’ll focus on Nigeria’s natural gas and hope you’ll join me and reason.

Nigeria has a proven reserve of 260 trillion cubic feet of Natural gas. (Someone once said that this will last this country for about more than 200 years). I also read that Nigeria's gas reserve is triple the nation's crude oil resources. I need not mention that we (Nigeria) are not fully harnessing our gas resources.

My big question is WHY? Why are we wallowing in poverty while we have so much wealth? Why is the average Nigerian living below $1 daily. Because a new poll result released by NOI Polls Limited has revealed that only about 2 in 10 (19 percent) Nigerians spend less than $1 a day on food while 80 percent spend over N160 ($1) daily says Vanguard.

This is absolutely unimaginable, but sadly it’s the truth. The thing is a lot of Nigerians don’t care and have psychologically put on an attitude of we will survive (in this hard condition! Really!!!) 

Vatican May Possibly Consider Discussing Marriage For Catholic Priests

In what is an unprecedented move, the Vatican has opened the door to the possibility of Catholic priests being allowed to marry.

For centuries Catholic Church tradition has required celibacy from priests. The Canon Law of the church states, “Clerics are obliged to observe perfect and perpetual continence for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, and therefore are bound to celibacy, which is a special gift of God by which sacred ministers can adhere more easily to Christ with an undivided heart and are able to dedicate themselves more freely to the service of God and humanity.”
