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.
They know the source of their problems but hypocrisy , ethnicity and religious bigotry won't alow their sences to know what should be on the banners . We won't tell them.let them continue while we are not feeling the heat.let the music play on.when the going gets tough the tough gets going ,he who laughs last laughs best.

Assuming the president was from south south or south east and this thing is happening, Yoruba people and Hausa people would have let loose hell on the president and his people to the point of harming those set of people, now it is their person incharge and they are doing as if it is a normal thing for people to be subjected to hardship. We all know what they did to gej, history will never be kind to whosoever was against gej but now pretending as if nothing is wrong. This has made me realized that the people of south south and southeast are the most accommodating zone in Nigeria. Yoruba people or Hausa people will never endure this assuming the president was from east or south south.
But the Yorubas are the ones talking the loudest against Tinubu, their son.

There have been protests in Ibadan and Ekiti, even Lagos. But whenever they talk the others(Ibos especially) will laugh at them and call them Ebinpawa. SEBI there's no hunger in SE and SW.

We are going through a phase, is all.

Governments need to build roads and bridges, so they must collect all the collectables.

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.


Omo this life is terrible. With the current situation in Nigeria, getting the most basic things seems harder than ever. Later they would spend billions combating
Insecurity and other social vices.

Coupled with being under payed from your place of Work mean while they've increased the prices of the services they render. But salary stays cements to same place.
If 2k is not too small quote me and drop you account.

We didn't experience this kind of catastrophe during Goodluck Jonathan, but Tinubu and his gangs ensured that they frustrated him out of power

God is paying back what Tinubu and Buhari did to GEJ. When Patience Jonathan was shouting"there is God" they take it as joke, today all the magic they claimed to have has fail and it's Nigerians who are at the receiving end.

A lady I know who hails from one of our neighboring countries in Africa but lives here in Nigeria was lamenting seriously about how the economy of Nigeria has crumbled.. In her words, Nigeria used to be the best economy in Africa at a time but has now turned to the worst performing in the space of few years.

Ghanians, Togolese, Cameroonians etc. saw Nigeria like United States back then with a lot of opportunities but story has changed today due to bad leadership, corrupt masses and greedy retailers and business owners.. It's as if they are stockpiling wealth here on earth to build mansions in heaven, even religious leaders are cashing out through gullibility of our people.

I hope the country gets restructured soon enough.. if the country must remain as one, then the non-progressives should not hold progressive thinkers down South to ransom with insecurity, kidnapping, banditry and whatnot.
