Nigerian Senator Ben Murray-Bruce took to his Twitter handle to say that Nigeria will soon overtake India as the country with the most people living in extreme poverty. The Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency, added that Nigerians are hungry because people are afraid to farm for fear of herdsmen attack. Well, majority of Nigerians who follow him on the platform say the senator is wrong.
Next week, according to the World Poverty Clock, Nigeria will overtake India as the country with the most people living in extreme poverty. The chief reason for extreme poverty is hunger. Yet we do nothing as Nigerians are afraid to farm because of herdsmen. So poverty increases!

I honestly wonder if you pay someone to handle your tweets or you actually do the tweeting yourself because with due respect, you sound very dumb with your tweets

As everyone can’t share the same views on a issue, there were also some who took sides with the common sense senator, saying Buhari has failed Nigerians.
Imagine a country of 180m persons having more poor people than a country than another with 1.1bn persons. Nigeria is finished.

Those that dare to farm have their farms wantonly destroyed and killed
