[News24] Former US President Bill Clinton has said that poverty is fuelling the violence now sweeping across Nigeria's north.
Right, Bill. Got a problem? Give somebody money.
Clinton, speaking on Tuesday in southwestern city of Abeokuta, said the violence happens in regions that have incredible poverty compared to the more prosperous cities in Nigeria's south.
Clinton said the problems "appear to be rooted in religious differences," but take root in poverty. He said strong state and federal government agencies should help, but he cautioned against oil-rich Nigeria simply taking a "divide the pie" approach of throwing money at the troubled areas to stop the violence.
Hmmmmmmm...sounds familiar.
No matter the problem the solution is always the same. Reminds me of another proposed world solution... |
