Nigeria Confronts Worst Economic Crisis in a Generation

People in Africa’s most populous nation are suffering as the price of food, fuel and medicine has skyrocketed out of reach for many.

Reporting from Kano, Nigeria’s second-largest city
.
Nigeria is facing its worst economic crisis in decades, with skyrocketing inflation, a national currency in free-fall and millions of people struggling to buy food. Only two years ago Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria is projected to drop to fourth place this year.

The pain is widespread. Unions strike to protest salaries of around $20 a month. People die in stampedes, desperate for free sacks of rice. Hospitals are overrun with women wracked by spasms from calcium deficiencies.

The crisis is largely believed to be rooted in two major changes implemented by a president elected 15 months ago: the partial removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the currency, which together have caused major price rises.

A nation of entrepreneurs, Nigeria’s more than 200 million citizens are skilled at managing in tough circumstances, without the services states usually provide. They generate their own electricity and source their own water. They take up arms and defend their communities when the armed forces cannot. They negotiate with kidnappers when family members are abducted.

But right now, their resourcefulness is being stretched to the limit..


By The New York Times
No Money for Milk
On a recent morning in a corner of the biggest emergency room in northern Nigeria, three women were convulsing in painful spasms, unable to speak. Each year, the E.R. at Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital in Kano, Nigeria’s second-largest city, received one or two cases of hypocalcemia caused by malnutrition, said Salisu Garba, a kindly health worker who hurried from bed to bed, ward to ward.

Now, with many unable to afford food, the hospital sees multiple cases every day.

Mr. Garba was sizing up the women’s husbands. Which source of nutrition he recommended depended on what he thought they could afford. Baobab leaves or tiger nuts for the poor; boiled-up bones for the slightly better off. He laughed at the suggestion that anyone could afford milk.

Salisu Garba, a community health worker, treating patients at a hospital in Kano, Nigeria’s second largest city, last month.
More than 87 million people in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, live below the poverty line — the world’s second-largest poor population after India, a country seven times its size. And punishing inflation means poverty rates are expected to rise still further this year and next, according to the World Bank.

Last week, unions shut down hospitals, courts, schools, airports and even the country’s Parliament, striking in an attempt to force the government to increase the monthly salary of $20 it pays its lowest workers.

But over 92 percent of working-age Nigerians are in the informal sector, where there are no wages, and no unions to fight for them.

For the Afolabi family in Ibadan, in southwestern Nigeria, the descent into poverty started in January with the loss of an electric tuk-tuk taxi.

Forced to sell the taxi to pay his wife’s hospital bills after the difficult birth of their second child, Babatunde Afolabi turned to occasional construction work. It paid badly, but the family managed.

“We had no thoughts about starvation,” he said.

Patients wait to be seen at the Murtala Muhammad General Hospital. The crowds are thinner than they used to be, as many can no longer afford the bus fare.
But then, he said, cassava — the cheapest staple in many parts of Nigeria — tripled in price.

All they can afford now, he said, is a few biscuits, a little bread, and for their 6-year-old, 20 peanuts a day.

A Country Built on Gas
Nigeria is a country heavily dependent on imported petroleum products, despite being a major oil producer. After years of underinvestment and mismanagement, its state refineries produce hardly any gasoline.

For decades, the national soundtrack has been the hum of small generators, fired up during daily power outages. Petroleum products move goods and people around the country.

Until recently, the government subsidized that petroleum, to the tune of billions of dollars a year.

Many Nigerians said the subsidy was the only useful contribution from a neglectful and predatory government. Successive presidents have pledged to remove the subsidy, which drains a hefty chunk of government revenue — and later backtracked fearing mass unrest.

Nigeria is a country that runs on imported gasoline, which the government has long subsidized to the tune of billions of dollars a year.
Bola Tinubu, who was elected Nigeria’s president last year, initially followed through.

“It was a necessary action for my country not to go bankrupt,” Mr. Tinubu said in April, at a meeting of the World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia.

Instead, many Nigerians are going bankrupt — or working multiple jobs to stay afloat.

Mr. Garba, the hospital worker, used to be solidly middle class, even though 17 family members, including 12 children, depended on him.

After shifts at the hospital, where he is setting up the first statewide ambulance service in addition to working in the emergency room, for which he is paid $150 a month, he heads to the Red Cross. There he occasionally receives a $3.30 volunteer stipend for helping tackle a severe diphtheria outbreak.

At night, he works at the pharmacy that he and a colleague set up. But few people have money for medicine anymore. He sells about $7 worth of medication per day.

Last year, Mr. Garba sold his car when the gas subsidies were removed, and now takes a tuk-tuk to work. Unable to power the generator, he reads medicine labels at the pharmacy by the light of a small solar lantern. He can only afford to buy rice and cassava in small quantities.

Life under the previous government was very expensive, he said, but nothing like today.

“It’s very, very bad,” he said.

It’s gotten so dire that there have been several deadly stampedes for free or discounted rice distributed by the government — including one in March at a university in the central state of Nasarawa where seven students were killed.

The vast majority of Nigerians work in the informal sector, with no salaries, unions, or safety net. And because of skyrocketing inflation, many can no longer afford basics, like food.
Mr. Tinubu promised to create a million jobs and quadruple the size of the economy within a decade, but has not said how. The International Monetary Fund said last month the state has started subsidizing fuel and electricity again — though the government has not acknowledged this.

“There’s still very little clarity — if any — on where the economy is headed, what the priorities are,” said Zainab Usman, a political economist and director of the Africa Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

The Tapping Craze
A spate of new crypto-mining games that promise to generate income the more the user plays has people across Nigeria spending all day tapping on their smartphone screens, desperate to earn a few dollars.

People tap as they pray, in mosques and churches. Children tap under desks at school. Mourners tap at funerals.

Many Nigerians desperately hope that hours spent tapping on smartphone cryptocurrency apps will eventually earn them a bit of cash. One man, Rabiu Biyora, says he made millions of naira this way.
There’s no guarantee any of them will ever benefit from the hours they put in mindlessly tapping.

Then again, they can’t count on the national currency, the naira.

The government has twice devalued the naira in the past year, trying to enable it to float more freely and attract foreign investment. The upshot: It’s lost nearly 70 percent of its value against the dollar.

Nigeria cannot produce enough food for its growing population; food imports rise 11 percent annually. The currency devaluation caused those imports — already expensive because of high tariffs — to explode in price.

Nigerians can become paupers almost overnight. So they’re searching for anything that might hold its value — or ideally, get them rich.

“People are looking for me everywhere,” said Rabiu Biyora, the undisputed king of tapping in Kano, opening one of his five foldable phones to add to his 2.7 billion taps on the TapSwap app. “Not to attack me, but to collect something from me.”

A relaxed, businesslike 39-year-old followed everywhere by young tech-savvy acolytes, Mr. Biyora would only say that he made “over $10,000” from the previous tapping craze.

With the proceeds from his tapping, Rabiu Biyora is opening an office in Kano to promote and educate people on cryptocurrencies. Nigeria already has the world’s second highest cryptocurrency adoption rate.
He profits from everyone else’s taps, so he encourages them in posts on social media, and by providing free internet to anyone willing to sit outside his house. Nigerians don’t need much encouragement — despite the risks and volatility, Nigeria has the second highest cryptocurrency adoption rate in the world.

So every evening, struggling young men gather by Mr. Biyora’s home and tap.

Pleas for Help
In much of Nigeria, it’s normal to share with your neighbors and give alms to the poor.

Every day, people come to the gate of Kano’s Freedom Radio station to drop off sheets of paper containing heartfelt appeals for help paying medical bills or school fees, or to recover from some disaster.

A radio presenter chooses three to read out daily, and often a sympathetic listener calls in to pay the supplicant’s bill.

But lately the appeals have multiplied, and offers of help have dried up.

Good Samaritans used to come to the E.R. and pay strangers’ bills for them, Mr. Garba said. That rarely happens now either.

Still, Mr. Garba said, the number of patients coming to his hospital has almost halved in recent months.

Many of the sick never even make it. They can’t afford the 20-cent bus ride.

A presenter on Kano’s Freedom Radio station reads out petitioners’ requests for assistance. But these days, few listeners have the means to help.

I'm sorry for the break. I'm just recovering from illness.

For today, I have two matches, but one match is not available as Benin is not always listed amongst several Bookies.

So, let's manage the one we have for today.

sixPRKYPK

I'm sta.king TWO FIFTY Kk to get THIRTY KK.

Good luck.

Lordwize:
When are we having the rest of our variables Sir?

We will continue today by 7pm.

...

I'm so sorry for the delay; I'm back. We will continue tomorrow.

I know you've been bombarded with a lot of advice. However, i will STRONGLY ADVICE you to add this very one to the top 5 on ground:

GET THE NUMBER OF THE FATHER OF THE BABY

SIT HIM DOWN

&

BEG HIM TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING HE KNOWS ABOUT THE BABY MAMA AND WHY HE LEFT HER (don't rely alone on what the baby mama told you).

Good luck.

nkemjacob2:
Pls i need an advice I am in love with a girl she is a baby mama. But I am finding hard to battle the metal stress of her been a baby mama of a boy. Pls I need your advice to over come this. I truly love her and I want to marry her. Pls no jokes

Tizu:
Which federal roads is tinubu constructing?
In which regions?
Which states?
Can you name some

quote author=Darianboy4u post=130340683]In all sincerity, Tinubu is doing a lot when it comes to construction of federal roads. However, even if I give him 6/10 in that aspect, I will still give him 1/10 in every other aspect of governance.

MY CANDID OPINION: For me, going by the performance of this present squad and the lucky group C we found ourselves, we can MANAGE to qualify, but we can't get past this group stage as it is quite obvious that if we find ourselves in other groups, we won't even be a team to reckon with. Or how do we survive in a group like group H with Tunisia & Malawi or group I with Comoros & Ghana or group F with Ivory Coast, Kenya & Gabon, or group B with Senegal & Sudan or group E with Libya & Cameroon, not to talk of great teams like Egypt and Morroco.

Our only hope to make it to quarterfinals — or semifinals if possible — is the presence of Victor Osimhen, as matching him alongside this great striker, Victor Boniface, will do wonders. Unfortunately, Victor Osimhen is down. More, our defence is quite manageable ATLEAST for now.

And for today's match against South Africa, it is a game of chance. Any of the two team can win or, possibly, draw.

Nairalanders, let's have your honest take on this present Super Eagles squad:

Stanley Nwabali (Chippa United),
Maduka Okoye (Udinese Calcio),
Ojo Olorunleke (Enyimba F.C),
Semi Ajayi (West Brom),
Chidozie Awaziem (Boavista F.C),
Calvin Bassey (Fulham F.C) ,
Benjamin Tanimu (Ihefu Sports Club),
Bright Osayi-Samuel (Fenerbahçe),
Sadiq Ismael (Remo Stars),
Alex Iwobi (Fulham F.C),
Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge),
Frank Onyeka (Brentford F.C),
Alhassan Yusuf (Royal Antwerp),
Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester),
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (Hatayspor)
Ademola Lookman (Atalanta BC),
VICTOR BONIFACE (Bayer 04 Leverkusen),
Ibrahim Olawoyin (çaykur Rizespor),
Samuel Chukwueze (AC Milan),
Paul Onuachu (Trabzonspor),
Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester) and
Terem Moffi (OGC Nice).

Coach: Finidi George

With a simple YES or NO response (plus reasons or analysis), can Nigeria qualify for the 2026 World Cup?

Which app can one use to see many head to head past matches or Google?
Variable IV

You see I've done all the groundwork research so that we won't waste time searching endlessly while working with the 7 Variables.

This website saves me a lot of time

MidasTouch1982:


My question is... You have thought two Variables so far... What is the key point in Variable 1 and 2 we should pick that's my question. You should be able to tell us that at Variable 1, this is what we should key into same as Variable 2.

The key point of each varible is already highlighted in bold print in the training, but if you don't get it I will still repeat them one after another after the whole training.

WHAT A RECORD! Hope all the girls turning out to be Oloshos chasing after Yahoo boys are seeing what their younger sister is doing with her BRAIN.

It pays to use your BRAIN than to use BODY, only legend will understand.

For today,

sixPnineGRMH

I'm targeting TWENTY EIGHT KKK ga.in

Good luck

For the people that are still emailing me about joining the 7V TRAINING CLASS, don't take me for a bad person. It is not as if I don't care; we are actually done with 1st & 2nd variable. We will be moving to 3rd & 4th today, in the evening. Of course, as soon as we are done with the training ch.an.nel, I will be closing down the ch.an.nel.

So, I will give the last chance opportunity to just 2 more persons to join us TODAY. Once you join, you will see the 1st & 2nd variable you miss so that you can catch up with us.

To jo.in the class before it will be too late, vi.sit the w.a.z.a.p ch.an.nel l.in.k in my sig.na.ture below for detailed instruction.

MidasTouch1982:
Am yet to under the main point from the two variables you've thought so far cause am blind to it. The Variables ain't clear to me.

I don't understand your question.

I don't know what is making you not to access the l.in.k from your end. And it seems you are the only one having this issue. All you need to do is to check the SM.S you received earlier, cl.ick it and follow the ch.an.nel immediately you view it.

MidasTouch1982:


Like you deleted the link to the 7v exclusive lecture room

The li.nk is active. I just dropped a poll on the ch.an.nel right now.

RESULT:

Los Andes 1 - 0 Deportivo Merlo

Congratulations guys.

More successful win ahead.
