Is Poverty Man-made or Life Happens?

It seem very awkward to think that someone is made to be poor, God has a plan for everyone and life sometimes happens to us adnqe find ourselves in the categories of poor people, but in all we should have thanks to God almighty because they are people we are living better than.

Is poverty and not having money the same thing? Explain

No, for me, these are two different scenarios. Poverty is simply the act of being poor in everything. You don't have food to eat, and you don't even know how your tomorrow might be.
Not having money doesn't seem to me like being poor. You might have other assets that are helping you to survive in life.
Sometimes landed properties, investment, and contributions Sometimes make someone not to have money at that particular, but deep down, you know you have money and the future is bright for you.

Let me use us crypto traders as example, sometimes when the market goes down, we become very broke, but we aren't poor

In some cases, not having money is the same as being poor because the humiliation will be too much for you.
You will see your mates spending money, buying new clothes, eating good food and leaving a comfortable lifestyle.
You will know that even if your little money isn't enough for you, your account balance might be what someone spend in a day, so for me, everyone is rich according to their standards.
I don't ever pray to be in a condition that I will have to beg. Honestly speaking, that will be a terrible and worst experience one could ever encounter.

Do you think poverty is Man-made or are situations in life that make it happen? Mention 2 main causes of poverty in your country.

Situations make poverty happen. Nobody is meant to be poor in this life.
I have seen people who were very rich, but due to lack of investment, they misused their money, and now they are back to square one in life. They are now leaving in abject poverty.

Some lost their assets due to fire out break in their shops that burned all their goods and some lost their money and everything through armed robbery, in every situation you find yourself in life always give thanks to God.

For me, the two main causes of poverty in my country Nigeria are

• Unemployment
• Bad governance

The above are the two main causes of poverty in Nigeria, our country is very rich and blessed with abundant natural resources but it's citizens are suffering day by day and the rate if unemployment keeps increasing which lead to high rate of poverty in Nigeria.
Our government are the we are having in this country because we are all surrendered by bad political leaders who are only for themselves and their families and also their selfish interest.

They aren't even concerned about the increased rate of poverty, and it's becoming alarming Nigeria has one of the hight rate of poverty in Africa, where you will see citizens begging on the streets for food especially in the northern part of the country people are really suffering from poverty, some don't even have where to stay because flood have taken away their houses and properties.

Give a life experience to justify that poverty is either man-made or situations in life cause it.

Just like someone told a man that his type are not meant to be rich, imagine winning a huge amount of money from bet and you squandered everything without investing the money, it is believed that their type are not meant to be poor.

They were a man in my area who was very rich and living a comfortable lifestyle, but life happened to him, and he lost everything. He was at home sleeping when his phone rang and his bosy told him that his entire shop has been set ablaze, he almost died of heart attack due to the incident and was rushed to the hospital for emergency medical treatment.

That man is now very poor and can bearley feed, this us to show that poverty isn't man made situations of life sometimes make someone to be very poor.

I have seen a man that was doing pos business close to my area he is also into other business, and all of a sudden, one of the worst nights in his entire life came.
Armed robbers attac him one his way home and collected all the money that he uses to run the POP business, and he was very lucky that they didn't kill him, life happened to him and he lost all his assets.

Someone refuses to scam people to make a fortune and elevate himself from poverty. Will you say the person is the reason he's still poor, or will you say he's being content with the poverty? Justify your answer

You should be very contented with what you have in life because God has a plan for all of us, so we should work hard to become a better version of ourselves.
When you scam someone to elevate yourself from poverty, you won't use that money for long because it is cursed, we all know how difficult it is to look for money so for you to scams someone it is better to remain poor because God's time is the best.

Just like someone who are looking for fast money in the name of yahoo, they barely sleep at night because of bombing. They also engage themselves in ritual acts, and it will later haunt them.
For me to scam someone to elevate myself from poverty, it's better I remain poor because I believe one day everything will fall in place.
