What is the next line of action? Economy recession, we are already in. What part should we play as a patriotic citizen? And What do you thing the government should do in other to elevate us from this chaos.
This is my own take;
I believe in due time, things will get better. If the country fails, it's not only the Mr president that it will affect the most rather. it will affect every body(we all). Irrespective of the fact that am not happy with the way things are going, I still believe that sooner or later all this will make us stronger. but instead of us to criticise only, let's also be constructive in are criticism. Before China could be at its position today, they all surfer same fate that we are facing, Japan faces the same thing, south korea surfers the same fate. Don't also forget that some other countries are also going through the same problem that we are facing as a result of a fall or downward change in oil price. This isn't about party. Let's drop party sentiment and say the truth. Cause even if it was pdp they'll do nothing. America is great today, it's not because of the government, but the collective effort of the citizen. America is the highest indebted nation in the world and you barely hear them talk about it and if so, why are we selling our problem out to the world. For nigeria to succeed, it has to be a collective responsibility of you and I. My prof; would say that 'necessity is the mother of invention' am glad that we are going through this economy recession now because it has clearly opened our eyes. Thus the country was so so much depending on oil and neglecting other sector. At least it has bring back our tension to the drawing board. But at this juncture I have to end here but for the main time I have this for you.
RECESSION GALORE! WE ARE IN ALREADY...SO,
LEARN HOW TO MANAGE TILL WE GET OUT
Here are some things to cut down on in order to
make it out of this recession financially sane.
*Generator usage*
It’s bad enough the economy is crumbling faster
than a cookie but how many Nigerians can recall a
lengthy spell of uninterrupted power supply.
Our standby household generators have for years,
been doing what the government cannot do for us.
Now that the situation is getting dire, generator
usage should be restricted to specific hours and to
take care of necessities.
Comfort can wait till recession is over and we are
out of troubled waters.
*Eating out*
Anyone who actually cooks will know that
restaurants serve overpriced, often unsatisfying
food.
So instead of taking your hard earned money to
pay for ‘fancy’ food, go to the market, buy raw
food and head to the kitchen.
You’ll save so much money.
*Driving walkable distances*
The cost of fuel is higher than it has ever been in
Nigeria’s history, so why not kill two birds with
one stone while going for short errands.
Take a walk or go for a run while running your
errand. Your body and pockets will thank you.
*Bulk buying of groceries*
Constant grocery shopping can be such a chore so
we tend to buy in bulk.
However, a disadvantage of bulk buying is that
some goods may expire or spoil before you get
around to using them, hence cut your grocery
shopping list down to necessities.
Get what you need and not what you think you will
need.
*New clothes and shoes*
Your old clothes are perfectly fine!
Oh you think people have noticed you’ve had that
shirt for a while? Frankly, it’s nobody’s business.
As long as your clothes are not obviously tattered,
there is no use going cloth shopping every week to
impress people and depress your bank account.
*Hanging out*
We all love spending quality time with friends and
family but instead of going someplace where you’ll
spend more than you budgeted for (more often
than not), invite them to your house and plan
activities everyone can participate in.
You’ll create a stronger bond and more lasting
activities while saving money.
*Vacations abroad*
Also known as “the king of excesses”, vacationing
abroad is officially a luxury at this point in time.
Why go and spend your hard earned ‘naira’ in a
foreign country contributing to the growth of their
economy while leaving yours in the backseat.
Stay at home!
*DSTV subscription*
You don’t need to pay for all the channels. It’s not
a competition.
You hardly ever watch more than 15 of the
channels on the premium package, so why the
bother?
The smallest bouquet has news channels for the
grown-ups and cartoons for the kids.
*Water as opposed to juice and sodas*
Some people think there is an award for living
lavish. News flash: there isn’t.
Most of these processed drinks you desire to gulp
down your throat with every meal are not even
good for your health and they definitely cost more
than water. Drink water, you’ll live longer.
*Unnecessary phone calls*
Restrict your airtime to calls with purpose (work,
business).
There’s no need to ask your friend what he/she is
eating or staying on a call for an hour discussing
what nail polish color to wear to an event.
