I don’t agree with these statistics for my country. Why are not fair to Nigeria, everything worst is for Nigeria. If Niger have 0.3% Unemployed. Is it that flocks to Nigeria to become security guards, bandits, steals, and beg in my country and we still accommodate them. We have inherited them the 0.3%.
