Lake Chad is located in the middle of four countries part of it in Nigeria, part of it is in Chad, part it is in Cameroon and part of it is in Niger Republic.
The lake Chad was so blessed as it is a reservoir of wealth it produced plenty of fish to the locals surrounding the lake as they sells the fish and get a lot of money all the time.
The lake Chad part of Nigeria is in Baga local government area in the northeastern part of Nigeria they are lucky because most of the people of Nigeria patronized the fish from Baga most especially the roasted ones.
Although there is so much money in the lake Chad part of Nigeria yet the government abandoned the place no government regulations in the place people were left to survived own their own.
They don't go to schools they were not enlighten and their main profession was fish farming which gave them a lot of money but sadly they never know how to spend the money wisely they spend money recklessly since they easily get it nevertheless the fish produced in the lake Chad is very popular through out Nigeria people believed that the fish have an extra ordinary taste when prepared in soup, so they comes all over the country in troops to buy the roasted fish they donot care about the price.
Apart from the locals the selling of the roasted fish became a source of employment for millions of Nigerians all over the country.
Since the government have abandoned the people due to that the government was forcust on oil money, the locals started spending their money on buying hard drugs and sexworkers the money also motivated many foreign sexworkers they migrated in the quest of making money from the locals.
The locals don't have banks in their villagers so they kept money in their rooms. Apart from the wealth that is in the water there is also wealth on the ground because the people are also farmers.
The land is so blessed whatever you plant there you would get a bounty harvest other people from other part of Nigeria come to buy foods, the locals also make enough of money that they don't know how to spend it wisely.
Boko Haram saw the opportunity to conquer the villages surrounding the lake Chad, at first when Boko Haram tried to capture the area by force the local vigilantly resisted the terrorists group, the locals then appeal for government help but they didn't get it.
At last Boko Haram lunched a deadly attack and killed over two thousand people raped thousands of women others run away living billion of naira in their houses. The people run away 250 kilometres by foot to seek refuge in Maiduguri the state were they became internally displaced people (IDP) and they were kept in camps.
It was at the internally displaced camp that they came to realized how valuable money is, it is so scare for them unlike when they were in their villages were they get money with not too much stress they wish if they have the second chance they would have known how to better manage money.
The healthy men tried to work but no good payments but they till have to manage it because no option.
The older women started working as house maids but the young and under age women start working as sexworkers. Although Boko Haram have made several attempts to make the economy of the lake Chad start working again by inviting the fishermen to come and start working but the Nigerian army rejected that on the ground that Boko Haram would get more money to buy weapons.
