The Nigerian Solution

Children wash near the rubble of their demolished house in the Chika area of Abuja, Nigeria, on Dec. 8, following government evictions and the demolition of all the housing stock in the area. Soldiers and police have evicted thousands from a residential area of the capital as part of a plan to avoid the city disintegrating into the chaotic situation of Lagos and other Nigerian cities, residents and officials said.
Yeah, that'll solve the problem of what to do with all those impoverished people. Now they're not only hungry, they're homeless! Maybe they'll just die of starvation and disease, and you'll be rid of them. A wonderful a model for other countries, Nigeria. Way to go!

And despite all the fine words from politicians in rich western countries like yours and mine - nothing ever seems to get better for the people in these countries.
