Nigeria is already known as one of the poorest countries in the world but i believe the duty of governments of the country (if they are sincere to themselves) is to work to change the status and not to make policies that deepened the poverty situation.

Whether anybody likes it or not, the policies taken by this government which is responsible for the hardship Nigerians are currently going through would only render more Nigerians poor and poorer.

In a country where unemployment/underemployment is so high, people are struggling to even feed and survive. A very good example is myself. I am underemployed, that is to say my salary is poor and nothing to write home about. Not as though i'm happy about this as i am still looking for better opportunities.

Of truth, only N600 was left with me yesterday. I couldn't afford to have dinner and so i slept empty stomach that yesterday. There's this woman selling bread near a bakery along the road i pass to work. Her price is considered the cheapest, so many people buy from her. My plan was to use the N600 to buy bread from there, which i can manage throughout the day or even till tomorrow, hopefully miracle can happen and another money enters my hand.

As i went there this morning, the N600 bread is now N800. No surprise about that at all, knowing the country we are living in today. This spoilt the plan and i was confused, disturbed and broken down. I stood there for over 5 mins hopelessly, with hunger and anger in me.

That small time, one elderly woman in the shop was sobbing. I later realized she started crying after she couldn't afford the current price of rice. Another guy came and asked for a pack of indomie and was told N1000. He sighed bitterly and left. Then i saw another two guys who came to the shop, joined their money together (400+400) and bought the N800 bread and divided it into two, for each.

That was a nice decision though even though it would reduce the quantity, but as i didnt see someone to join too, i left the place to work without buying the bread.

Any alternatives for me?

There's absolutely no alternative for since everything is on the high side. I could have opted for rice and beans, but i wont know when i will start crying after mamaput has dished the quantity for me. Surely it will be small. So i decided not to go near there. What about Garri and soup? I dont know for everywhere but i can tell you, there's mow where i could find a plate of Garri and soup for N600. Even if there is, i would still cry over the quantity. What about noodles that used to do 'rescue mission'? Well, i just told you a pack is now N1000, when i had only N600 with me. What of biscuit? I refused to "waste" my last money on something that would not last me the next 1 hour after i have eaten. Akara? Have you seen the sizes of Akara in recent? N100 own looks very small, so i still decided not to buy.

At the end, all options failed. Till this minute, nothing has entered my stomach and i'm still holding tight to my N600. Yes i am hungry and weak but the N600 must be for something that can keep me for a while, hopefully another money would come my way before i am hungry again.

Sadly, my in quote "salary" is still far, till Thursday next week, but i have to survive however it is.

It's a very tough time for most of us Nigerians right now.

Lastly, government should know that
most Nigerians are not asking for luxury, just basic things made affordable for survival and food is obviously not affordable to many Nigerians today. Please government should do something about food crisis in the country.

May God help us, the common citizens.

Nigeria is truly hard but I don't understand the need for you using the current situation to formulate fake sob stories to get chicken change from the public. I didn't even need to read up to half of your stories to know it's fake.

Hedonisco:
You're definitely not hungry enough. Otherwise you wouldn't have the time or mental acuity to compose this well written 'format' of a story.

Expect more of this as the weeks go by and the hardship intensifies. Last year I know what I saw talkless of this one that most of these lazy guys are feeling the pains more simply because they refused to get something doing.

My wife sells indomie in cartons, she usually buy hundred of cartons but recently I got to her shop and noticed no single carton of indomie and I asked why? She said the price is disheartening ,a carton is about 19k she is just confused, but come to think of it, some retailers are something else, how can someone buy a carton of indomie for 19 or 20k and sell 1 pack for 1k, a carton of super pack indomie has 40 packs and u said her prices are ok. Abi u no hear well

Bros abeg remember my side too.
1k will do.

Humans are meant to complain! Complain at every situation. There’s no such things as basic things in Nigeria. Nigerians don’t appreciate thr values of whatever they have until they lose it.

We have always heard how life was beautiful in the 70s towards 80s. Yet, all the songs that were sung then emphasized how bad the situation was.

Life was better than now during Objs, yara’dua and Goodluck Jonathan. What did people do? Complain like a woman whose husband didnt come home last night.

How would they value the goodness when it comes if they don’t go through this phase?

If everything was sweet the moment Tinubu came in, I bet most people would still be crying and complaining especially, the online criers. Everyone will be alright at last

There Are Two Kinds of Nigerians.


1) The Nigerians That Know Themselves As Part of The Government of Nigeria - Hence; They Work And Try Their Best To Fend For Themselves.


2) The Nigerians That Doesn't Know Themselves As Part of The Government of Nigeria - Hence; They Continue To Nag About Hardship of Nigeria Instead of Being Part of The Solution To Nigeria.




Except You Are Blind Or Just Arrogantly Ignorant; By Now - You Know That Our LACK IN COLLECTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN THE BETTERMENT OF AGRICULTURE IN NIGERIA Is The Sole Reason For The HIGH COST OF FOOD ITEMS In Nigeria.


The Increasing Dollar-Naira Rate is Just Tripping The "SUFFER SUFFER".



By Now; You Already Know The Right Thing To Do.


See One Of The Wisest Things To Do In This HARD TIMES Below:

https://www.nairaland.com/8017739/march-1-2024-invest-agriculture

isn't money that will be used to do the farming. Many people have finished their savings in buying garri and rice for feeding and some have started using their final life-savings to purchase food items for their families and loved ones, Nigeria is terrible now this is out of imagination

I believe say you go be Yoruba guy and na una vote una brother in make we day suffer am together, no be who talk em own people day see what about those that are dying in silent, it's well

This is a typical scenerio in SW and North. With every modesty, we don't really feel that extreme hardship as you painted in the East. So I cannot relate with your experience.

About the protesters with posters with inscriptions like "end hunger and poverty", it is just laughable. It confirms that most Nigerians don't really know the source of their poverty. If they knew, those inscriptions on their placards would have been different.

I've never met any Yorba person that enjoys that tasteless okpa. Offering it to OP is demonic

Okpa is more nutritious and tastes better than any Yoruba food that I know.

He does not have a choice. If he had, what is a balance #600 doing in his pocket? So Okpa is luxury meal.

Judolisco:
baba get your facts right... Nigeria isn't poor

Buhari government collected that tittle from India, whether anybody likes it or not situation in Nigeria is worsening by the day. Families cannot feed well again, savings are gradually diminishing, government policies are not favorable to the masses, the government is cashing out from the subsidy removal which is draining people's income seriously

Okpa tasteless? Are you sure you know what is okpa?

Don't mind the mumu! Instead of him to admit that he's never tasted okpa, he's here talking out of ignorance.

You guys should always endeavour to specify...which indomie,hungry man or superPack?

That should be hungryman size. Super pack is 5h.

Just the necessary basic things of life and basic standard of living are all what just Nigerians are asking. We're not asking for luxuries, not to build houses, buy cars, clothes and shoes but just the basic necessity of life, which is to have a means of livelihood, basic job, food and shelter to survive.

You are begging for just the basic necessities of life while they enjoy the best of luxurious life with our common wealth and you have accepted your defeatist fate .it's a pity.not my portion to accept being down trodden. It's your choice to work yourself out of that situation. Work harder ,evolve new creative ideas,start farming or trading.period

The mere thought that some of us go to bed hungry is depressing.

I was telling someone that I have never experienced this kind of economic situation in my adult life and I had to ask my mother if they did during the 60s and 70s..... She said no

The most painful thing is that there is no end in sight. They keep saying soon....how long is soon. 2 months? 1 year?, 32 weeks?

How long is soon for the sake of anything good

If your mother said she had never experienced such hardships in the 1960s,lucky her,those of us in the south east and south south experienced worst of such situations and have gotten used to it and developed survival strategies used in the 60s,that's why we are not feeling it
.when the going gets tough,the tough gets going. Funny enough 8 years of this hardships is far.
This is hardships by choice
