• 93.9 % of Nigerians think they are poor • Nigerians that were non-poor higher in 1980s • Poverty defies govt policies •Companies are being impoverished • Gap between rich and poor widening... John Fagi, as he calls himself, is a Nigerian that lives under the bridge in Lagos. Along with him are others who many think are mentally sick.

Some able-bodied men at most bus stops in Lagos stop fellow Nigerians to beg for money. Women are not spared.
