Legal luminary, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) has said that majority of Nigerians currently live in poverty, stressing that over 70 per cent of the citizens were living below the poverty level.

Olanipekun spoke in Ikere Ekiti, his country home.

The legal icon pointed out that there was tension, unrest, anxiety, pressure, confusion, hatred, anguish, pain, distress and transferred aggression among many people.

According to him, the situation in Nigeria is much more challenging, coupled with the burden of insecurity that it had faced for over a decade.

The poverty level in Nigeria today is not just scary but also terrifying, as over 70 per cent of Nigerians are rudderless and poverty stricken,” he said.

70% is far from reality Sir. Atleast 85% of Nigerians are one serious sickness away from total poverty and death

-So this man is from Ikere Ekiti? That place is an epitome of poverty. When I last went there, the only storey building was a mud-house built by a photographer from Benin.

-Yoruber people should stop abandoning their villages. What I saw there was an eyesore. No toilets in most of the "houses". School self mchew!

That transferred aggression part is very real oh. And, it's contributing hugely to the insecurity in the country. If you eat only once in a day, there must be someone around who thinks you are too rich because he/she eats once in two days.

Our leaders are responsible. If we decide to seek legal redress on certain issues that led to the percentage you quoted you will defend them in court if they approach you. No point telling us. We know this already.

I think it is more of wickedness, how a certain set of people ed Buhari for 8 years and those same people are now ing Tinubu, I have taught about it and feel these were the same kind of people who kept Africa backwards (both followers and leaders) till the whites came to colonize Africa.

Wickedness is their driving force because they'll rather choose bragging rights of being in charge which they feel is more important to them than progress
