COVID-19: The needy are needy because of the greedy few

Some of the third world countries are not third world countries in reality.

The country is third world/developing but there are individuals that are even more developed than the so called developed nations.

I have more than sixty friends scattered around USA, Australia, China, Italy, Sweden and South Korea respectively yet, I have not seen any of them displaying pictures where they went to share anything or palliatives to the needy.

The needy in Nigeria is needy because of the greedy (few) leaders.

A congressman in the USA can never drive any of our Senator’s car.

Not that they can’t drive it because they don’t have the money; they won’t drive it because they depend on salary.

Nigeria is called third world country but some of our leaders are richer than some renown bourgeoisie in the developed nation.

It is absurd that Nigerian leaders cannot send unconditional $100 to her citizenry as COVID-19 palliative funds- this is a great shame!

USA government gave money to the poor and rich. Italy gave out money. Canada gave out money.

The worst in Nigeria is that, every man is forming philanthropist to cover up for the colossal failure of Nigerian leaders.

We are rich, but wickedness is ruling the minds of the managers of our common patrimony (resources).
