Nigeria has since been known as the official poverty capital of the world, as well as one of the most terrorised countries on earth; that's what Tinubu's political alliance with Buhari did to Nigeria. Mahmood Yakubu facilitated it since 2019 with his fraudulent presidential elections.

Nigeria is a failed Nation. The country cannot even guarantee its citizens the most basic human need. If people were not collectively stupid in this country, they would have made the country ungovernable and Tinubu would have done everything within his power to ensure food is available at affordable price.

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.

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

Not a fan of Okpa. I would have considered it[/quote]

you know the amount of iron and protein (Bambara nut) okpa contains,you would have a rethink.

It's better to eat it especially this period than indomie that has no nutritional value.uote

Instead of grabbing our clueless politicians by the balls, we're busy strategizing on how to adjust to the hardship.

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.

Have you guys finished spending the money y'all got from selling your votes to politicians criminals already?

Buhari advised us all to go back to the farm but we chose to castigate him and farting everywhere.

Now there's scarcity hence the high prices of goods. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Collective stupidity? No. There are many Nigerians who don't deserve the Collective thing. Ethno-religious bigots are responsible.
GENESIS: after Muhammadu Buhari's 2001 declaration in Kaduna that he would not relent until Islamic sharia criminal laws are applied in all the states of Nigeria, he became a political icon for too many people in the far north sharia criminal laws states. He started to win millions and millions of votes in the sharia states; sotay, Bola Ahmed Tinubu saw Buhari as a possible ally to achieve Tinubu's presidential ambition. The ethno-religious bigots among the electorate and in INEC, wouldn't look back as they used every possible avenue to keep the Tinubu/Buhari alliance ontop, notwithstanding the level of poverty the alliance was inflicting upon Nigerians and Nigeria.

Send your account details. Are u in Lagos if yes


Seezion:
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.
