The USD Is Using Everyone Without Protection. Original Sufferhead by CandyOps(m): 2:02am On Nov 20, 2023 |
Pls MODS don't delete this. I tried to be civil in my writing this time 🙏 So yesterday I received the BIGGEST public event DISGRACE of my life. 😭😞 I was on my own o... jejely planning my weekend and how I'll be at home to rest after just recovering from Malaria & cough... ... As I type this, I still feel a slight a headache from the illness. Na so one of my boss dem call me say, "You dey free? We have occasion. Big guys occasion " "I'm already out with my team of mopol security guys. Be ready by past 12.00, okay?" I sha told him I may cancel the event as I wasn't feeling too fine. And Boss complained about me disappointing as he already told me a week earlier about it. Omo... me I wasn't in a party mood. I have my rent & poor sales to worry about. I was in no mood for partying in Lagos. But then my 2nd mind was also reminding me how lit the parties always were. Broooo! them go use like 1 hour spray money non-stop. 💵 🤯 Bro, I no dey talk about normal to spray 20k or 50k wey everybody sabi. I dey talk about almost 1 hour plus of making it rain cats and dogs 🌧️🌧️💰 Bro, do you remember that kind of money wey dem Cubana boys spray that year during his mama's burial? Na that kind spraying I dey talk about. Oga, my job was simple - hold my boss drink, him bundles plus phones for him in my sling-purse and drive him home safely. Like a P.A's job Guy... Them spray so tee them begin stone bundles instead of to unwrap am. Na that kind money rain I dey talk about! I'm talking about parties where the choicest of drinks are available - Martel, Glenfiddich, Blue Label, Courviosier, Jameson's Black and so on .. And we usually party till late night most times 12midnight or 1am. At the end of the day, na only like 1 wrapper them go use show you love. Which no make sense to me. But then at all at all na winch. So I zeroed my mind I'll attend. About 2 hours later, we done dey the 1st party location. I drove his black GLE (Benzema) with the team of escorts in a convoy behind us. We sprayed like 100k there. Didn't spend much time there and left for the 2nd venue. It was at the 2nd venue that the main Owambe was scheduled to take place. On our way, to the 2nd location somewhere along FESTAC - Amowu Odofin. I hear say wetin dey boot of the car na roughly 5million naira cash. I think say na whining till we reach location. We come begin offload money for suitcase lol. Na then I come understand the need for the mopol guys wey we carry. By now, party done dey pop. E no get any food wey you want wey no dey there apart from fufu and Yam. Oga, I say dem even serve grilled crocodile! 🐊 I kid you not! Mmmm! (Licks finger and points to sky) If I lie make I naked baff tomorrow! Me normally, I done dey on 1 or 2 bottles of something so as them dey spray the money I dey calculate say I fit pick my rent there o. Lol 😆 Oga, I broke sha... Like me explain how broke I am so you understand my predicament.... I dey give my boss money to spray from my purse still dey pocket free money wey land beside me dey chock am for pocket 😭 E get the one wey I pick one of their club members come sight me, come push me comot from stage say make I comot for here. Before I go talk "calm down" finish him done wuzz me small slap for chin. I wan challenge am but my 2nd mind tell me say make I calm down say that guy catch me red-handed 😂 I just take my L use back comot go back our table go wait for boss jejely. So the event got me thinking, why did I behave like that and how could I have avoided such an embarrassing situation in future. The only answer that came to my mind is - work harder. Earn better. Hustle better And the only way forward is to leave this country because earning in NGN as a business owner is like hustling backwards. Stay with me I'll explain, Let Me paint you a picture of how effed-up hustling with N.G.N is in the grand scheme of things... My bro go lend me 1m to import goods. ₦1m - goods (27pcs) You may think, "wow!" "a whole 1m" But let me break it down for you here... On top this ₦1million e get normal expenses wey I suppose make wey go make that goods multiple to like 2.4m after sales. I'm talking about fixed expenses such as: ₦300k/month Online Advertising ₦200k - clearing of goods when it comes in ₦120k - delivery cost for the entire goods Sum = ₦600k (future expenses) I never even chop o! So by the time goods land and I clear it and push it out for sales using paid adverts how on earth it's possible for a Small Medium Enterprise owner that runs on credits to make enough gains and come out with profits after sales & expenses? Especially now that all our efforts are being wiped out clean by the current loss of value of the NGN against the USD. What dis means is that, even if I put in all the gains I made from the sale of the 1million naira goods without touching 1 naira I still won't be able to afford the same quantity of goods my 1 million bought the last time. BECAUSE when you minus the expenses of making the sale and compare what's left you'll be at a loss. Now, imagine what'll happen if you have a bad day maybe your advert accounts didn't perform well. Or you didn't sell off in a week. You will simply eat into your business working capital and you'll be back to Level 1 like you didn't do shit the last time 🤔🤔 It got me thinking the only viable option I got was to leave this country or find a way of earning in USD, RMD, CAD, or Euros man. Because the way I dey see my life now ... I see my life as if I'm driving a car doing 80mph on a road under construction 🚧🚧 and I match brake to slow down but notice say brake no dey catch. Na so I dey see my life now. Oga, if I no do something something go do me. But when the matter too much for my head I go remember say e get people wey I better pass x1000 times. And I thank my chi. I say my head dey touch. On top of all this them still dey ginger me say make I go marry. Like... them dey talk say Rev. Father dey on fire you dey ask me if him white beards still dey in tact!😭 At the end of the day you go just find out say Dollar just dey do us bad with the help of our bros and sis in power. To be honest, the future is bleak mehn for the NGN And that is mildly putting it because the right thing to say is, "there is no hope for the NGN against the USD" in the nearest future. Mathematical we're hustling backwards earning in NGN against the USD. We keep taking their Trojan horse loans only to give away our crude for almost free. It's like small pikin something. My worry is why isn't Nigerians saying anything about ending this crazy crude lifting and re-importing refined prdts back and then .. having us buy it off because we're already in debt after the oil merchants subtract the cost of lifting it and refining ? When we can do it ourselves. because if I remember that slap e dey reset my head and I no go wan dey alive that kin thing go dey happen to me because of how much? 🤔🤔 Omo, the way this country dey go shaaa. If I no japa I go push some kilos o. What's the essence of living here as a man if you cannot afford the basic necessities of life? As a Man if you get ₦1 or 2million wahala can you chest it without calling for help? If you no fit chest am then, nwanne jee chuba ego! 3 Likes 1 Share |
