POVERTY IN NIGERIA: ITS EFFECTS ON MORAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THE PEOPLE

Abstract

My efforts in this research work have been geared towards examining poverty in Nigeria: Its effects on moral and spiritual life of the people. The study revealed that poverty had adverse effects on the health, moral, spiritual, political and cultural lives of many Nigerians. The objective of this research work is to present a way forward against poverty. The work recommended that the government at all levels of governance in Nigeria, and the church should engage in policies and business ventures that will be of immense benefits to the citizenry that will set them free from poverty. Methods of approach are historical, phenomenological, and analytical methods coupled with the review of related extant material.
