Times are definitely not nice to Nigerians. The streets are not smiling. People are not happy. You could see from their sad faces.

I am an undergraduate working as a security guard at night to help myself financially.

So due to fuel situation and the economic effects, I have been trekking to and fro the place, because no money and the transport is very expensive now. Today, I didn't feel very strong to trek back to the place due to malaria seriously holding me down. I approached my neighbor who is earning over 100k+ salary, minus side hustling to help me with transport fare to go to work. Guess what? He started by laughing cheapishly. When he paused, he narrated how he trekked back from work on Friday, trekked to and fro work today being Monday and not sure how he'll get back to office tomorrow morning being Tuesday. That the new transport fare has eaten deeper into his small earning that even before middle of the month, the salary had long gone. Last night, the children drank Garri to go to bed and this morning, the children left to school drinking only Pap and he put only N100 Akara for each in their lunch boxes. Sad story. He added that due to the economic impact of fuel subsidy removal, retrenchment letters for 3 of his colleagues in the office are ready to be served by the end of the month, and more to go.

Who will rescue us, we don't know? Sad truth is that the money that will be generated from this subsidy removal will not be put to use to the benefit of the commoners. It's just a plot to generate more money for the elites/thieves.

Could you believe that nobody could borrow me N500 in the whole compound? Incredible.

Well, even when I wasn't feeling strong to trek coupled with all I'm passing through financially, I just had to trek which I did.

I picked up this job because instead of sleeping freely at night and when the rent expires, the landlord would come after me + plus all the bills heaped on me, I could rather spend the nights here reading my books, sleep (even though not as recommended) and still earn some money no matter how small.

Finally, I would say do well to help people when you can. People are going through a lot. Not untill the start falling in the street.

*In mama P. voice* - "God will see us through".

God bless all hard working Nigerians no matter the tough times we face.

Your write-up is very emotional and truly the reality of many Nigerians now.

But I want you to know that God's hand is in everything. Nothing happens that God is not aware.

I'll encourage us all to please endure this temporary suffering. Make the necessary sacrifices you have to this period. Let your hope be where it should really be and where it is truly assured and secured- in the government of Jesus Christ.

You will realise that God Himself becomes your provider when you turn to Christ.
He does not only rprovide money, he provides ALL you need.
Wisdom, Strength, Direction, Food, Help, Health, Peace, Joy, Hope etc that you need. Philippians 4:19

Most times these sufferings help us expose our weaknesses so that we can know what is blocking blessings in our lives. It exposes fake friends so that we know who to be careful with, who to separate from, etc.
It helps us build the Fruit of the Spirit and even Gifts of the Spirit.
It is also the time some people with receive ideas that will change their lives for ever.

2Cor.4.16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

When u give unrelated responses like this, it makes people question your creativity and ability to think outside the box

Even if we voted in Julius ceasar,he'd not have turned things around overnight

IF THE NATION COULD BE QUICKLY DRIVEN INTO HARDSHIP, IT COULD AS WELL BE QUICKLY GIVEN AN IMMEDIATE EASE. THE OUTCOME OF THESE TWO EXTREMES DEPENDS ON THE ECONOMIC STRING YOU PULL.

WE DESERVE AN EASE OF LIFE, NOT DEEPER INTO THE DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE.

I KNOW WHY YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, BUT I AM CERTAIN YOU ARE FEELING THE HEAT OF THIS RECENT ECONOMIC SUMERSOLT MORE THAN I DO.

PLAY LOGIC, NOT TRIBE OR RELIGION.

You really think that #100 000 is enough money in this economy? It's barely enough for a single man talkless of one with a family comprising of children.
You should know better.

Calculate transportation in a month and feeding. That should gulp more than half of his salary.

Aside that he will give his wife money for miscellaneous. What of house rent, clothing.
Children school fees nko and sundry expenses which schools task them.

What of extended family members?
You as a single is not finding it funny. Wait and marry first, you will understand better.

LikeAking:


The guy stingy.

You think he had but didn't want to lend? Don't forget 100k now is nothing, especially for family setting.

Calabar1stSon:
Una complain no consign me... I don japa to Ekiti.

Things suppose better for Ekiti after na them first give Tinubu block vote.

I,myself I'm not earning big. Over the years I have learnt to manage myself and avoid waste by all means. Bro, many are not finding it easy too. I can only advise you to source for additional source of income to ease the burden on you and cut of unnecessary expenses.
If you drink alcohol cut it off
If you smoke cut it off
If you dey carry woman cut her off
Focus on yourself and any other thing may come after when your pocket is smiling.

Wetin Ekiti do really pain those Obidients o

That's the reality for every salary earner right now except very few with viable side hussle. Very wrong time to be a salary earner

youngrichnigga:
I feel your pain bro! God will see us (ala Mama Peace). The real issues with the subsidy removal is how they suddenly arrived at the current price because they said the subsidy being paid on PMS was about N202 as recently as a February report. Now we are being made to pay N500 for a liter as against approximately N390 if we add this to the former pump price of N188, please who's fooling who Our labor leaders have become worse than useless

I swear, it seems all government 's priority is to further inflict poverty on Nigerians till they commit sucide.

I can understand how heartless some people can be.
You remove subsidy and asked us to face the reality of hardship with no palliative programme to cushion the effect. Are you not not supposed to put the cushion effect in place for people to fall on before removing the subsidy?

Now, we are left stranded and only the rich are surviving. The trekking have done in this month. I've not done it b4. I didn't even think I can do it. And the effect will all fall on our body and productivity.

All Political office holders should divide their salaries and feed their consistuencies henceforth.

People should beseige their governors ,senators,reps,ministers,commissioners,perm secs houses for food,they feast like kings daily,let all public servants reduce their cars to 3cars and convert others to free public transport for state residents. Be your brothers keeper o' ye public servants,don't sey e no concern you.

DESPIRATE TIMES NEEDS PUBLIC SERVANT TO DO DESPIRATE THINGS TO HELp THEIR FOLLOWERS, IF TRUELY THEY LOVE THEM. OVER TO YOU ALL.

PUSH TO FRONT PAGE,MAKE IT A JINGLE ACROSSS NATION.

It is exciting times. The last few months has been interestingly amazing. I have no idea why people are lamenting about their existence, when all of their lives is a reflection of their actions and decisions.

Try to talk to single mothers in which husbands had abandoned with kids and see things urself .


For those who can dig anything under skirt, i think its windfall time.

Damnnn niggar

Don't dare help anybody

Let all suffer

Untill we start stepping into the polling unit without sentiment and tribalism

As for me and my family, it will favour us!!!!

Renewed hope

This increase will favour me and family

Tinubu has hit (smashed) the ground running

The occult body is a field of attention. A human being is composed of various parts: the physical body; the subtle physical body or the etheric body; the occult body; the psychic body; the mind; the ego; the life force; and of course the jiva or the soul or what they call in Buddhism the anatman, that eternal spark which is the ultimate perceiver or non-doer. The occult body is not a body in the sense that it has a shape. It's shapeless. The occult body is a field of attention. It's an avenue of awareness. It's a wind tunnel that connects the different realities. Now certainly there are what we call “occult bodies.” It is possible to create these occult bodies. They're extensions of your own bodies; we call them allies or helpers. An advanced spiritual aspirant is capable of creating many different bodies and can utilize these bodies to help aid others in their liberation. But the occult body, more than anything, is a field of awareness. You might say it's a way of being. The occult body is power but power that is not directed in an obvious manner. The word “occult” means hidden, that which is unseen. There are various forms of spiritual practice. Naturally in some forms of spiritual practice we see that which is apparent. When someone loves God, is truthful, is kind to others, compassionate, we can see what appears to be the cause and effect. But the occult body is part of the realm of mysticism and it works through the occult fields.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
This country has been retrogressing under APC

Nigerians can no longer afford basic things of life they could conveniently afford in 2014.

Nigerians wake up and take back your country.

Will they?

No.

They rather keep praying to their dead gods
While worshiping the looters to keep looting and live longer.

OP, you didn't do well going to a Married man with kids, to beg for money.😏

100k for a married man under this USELESS Apc Govt is chicken change. 😒

Namaster:
It's madness that anyone will support the removal of fuel subsidy. It may be a good idea in other countries but this is Nigeria.

The people will suffer the consequences of the removal and enjoy none of the benefits. I spent more than 40K travelling to the east in the past 4 weeks.

@ ur bolded

That's most painful aspect of it.

In two years to come now, having realized nothing to show for masses ,they will come and be given various excuses why subsidy removal not working.

By them, it would be too late to reverse removal again.

I have 4 Keke, I de cry.
What about people who are on hire purchase.
Seriously this subsidy and too much tax is too much for the people, buhari is really a good man.

No Be Small Thing ooooo

Fuel in Egypt is 72% subsidised and food is also subsidised.

Here in Nigeria,the poor are praising the politicians. I pity them all.

Tilubu supporters are buying fuel cheaper!

Dey there na. Today Ashawo collect #500 I surprise. Ee red everywhere no be lie
