You're too fat and Drink too much champagne Britain tells Nigeria

While majority of it's citizens are living on less than $1 per day, wealthy Nigerian elites enjoy Champagne=guzzling lifestyles beyond the wildest dreams of most British public and the rise of Boko Haram has put the country in the spotlight.
British Government hopes to improve lives and tackle the militants with the millions it hands over to Nigeria. British aids to Nigeria has increased by 116 percent since 2010 more than any other country to which they donate. Last year, £200million was given to Nigeria and this year, it increases to £270million.

Investigations carried out shows that Nigeria:

• Consumes more champagne than the whole of Russia
• Boasts more billionaires than any other part of Africa
• Pumps out two million barrels of oil per da
• suffers from an obesity problem worse than the UK
• Plans to send astronauts into space

A politician fleet of cars

Over five years, the Department of International Development (DFID) plans to give Nigeria £1.14Billion which will be a joy to Nigerian's corrupt politicians.

Part of the DFID cash has been set aside to educate young girls like the ones kidnapped.  Yet critics say little of the money would actually go to those who really needs it.  In an exclusive interview, human rights activists Shehu Sani accused the British Government of abandoning the impoverished North leaving a hole exploited by terrorists.  He said "I know the DFID has been helping schools and so on, but it is just a drop in the ocean.  Nigeria is a big country with a population of 170 million and we have the resources to give our children a good education.  But the political elite steal money and educate their children abroad so, so the money foreign countries give is not enough.

He continues, "It is not aid but social justice that is lacking here.  In Nigeria, we have people as rice as the wealthiest Arabs in Kuwait and we have people as poor as beggars in the slums of India".

About 60 percent of DFID aid is understood to be spent in Northern Nigerian. But Borno State, where the girls were kidnapped, is too dangerous for British aid workers, so UK money unlikely benefit the residents any time soon.

Nigeria has Africa's largest economy, with seven percent annual growth and £370.6 billion GDP.  It is regarded as the 33rd most corrupt in the world and is part of a group seen as the world's next economic giants like India.  Nigeria has a space program and hopes to go into orbit in two years.

It is also oil rice and gives citizens a petrol subsidy, so they pay around 37p a litre.  Oil wealth has created a jet-set lifestyle for it's elite, who drink more than 750,000 bottles of champagne a year, meanwhile, obesity is soaring among rich people, with rates as high as 30 to 35 percent in some cities.

Dr Imran Morhason-Bello, of Nigeria's University College Hospital, said; "People think being big is a sign of wealth and good living, so then don't try to lose weight."

Yet while Nigeria's affluent areas become bloated with cash, corruption means that huge swathes of the population remain dirt poor. Modest estimates suggest between £2.5 billion and £5 billion is stolen from state coffers every year by greedy politicians and officials but the figures could be much much higer.
