Summing up financial aids that has been given for the development of our country from the British government yet our people still rot in poverty where only the rich people get richer and buy private jets.

Nigeria received £197million last year, Pakistan £189.2million and Ghana £51.8million.
Yet all three are now officially classed as being lower middle income nations, as is India, which received £292million.
