Nigeria, The Content Of A Lady's Handbag

Let me start by relating Nigeria's problem as Pareto Distribution. This distribution in Nigeria's context will be used to describe many situation in real life.

A brief description of Pareto Distribution.

This distribution in reality shows how a small group, the elites in the society, the first-class citizens between 15 and 25% exerts a substantial or
decisive influence between 60 and 80%, the middle group, the 2nd-class citizens between 25 and 40% exerts a middling influence between 15 and 30%, and finally, a large group, the 3rd-class citizens between 45 and 60% exerts an insignificant influence between 3 and 10%.

My motive here is to show clearly how Nigeria has defiled nature by completely eliminating the middle class system. So, this obvious problem in Nigeria can be likened to the content of a lady's handbag in which a small percentage of the items(populations) less than 1% consume over 95% of the nations wealth.

The photo below shows the items you're likely to see in an average Nigerian lady's handbag.

Without the middle class or group in a society, there can  neither be progress nor dynamic stability; this middle class are responsible for income distribution within the society. If you work out the maths from the above table, you would still see the great discrepancy showing because there is no middle class in between.

The economic crisis called recession that Nigeria is going through makes the points in this article valid, every other person except the politicians are complaining, even in the midst of the recession, one would think that these Godforsaken politicians would sit-up and make policies that will save the nation, but all they do is continue with their blame game. This is a high level of incompetence and irresponsibility. Jokers and cartoon readers is what we have as leaders in Nigeria.

Woe to you(Nigeria), O land, when your king(president) is a child(how can the first thing the President of a nation does in the morning is to lookout for the cartoon?) And when your[incompetent] officials and princes feast in the morning.
Ecclesiastics 10:16(Amp)

A country is in for trouble when its ruler is childish and its leaders party all day long. Ecclesiastes 10:16(CEV)

Woe to the land whose king is a child and leaders are already drunk in the morning. Happy is the land whose king is a nobleman and whose leaders work hard before they feast and drink, and then only to strengthen themselves for the taste ahead! Ecclesiastes 10:16(TLB)
