They keep making excuses to raise fuel prices.

Why can't they crack down on smuggling and implement effective measures to prevent petrol smuggling instead of troubling us with meaningless press statements like this?

Number one capture that.

tanigororo:
You didn't factor in Cost, most especially initial cost.
Putting into perspective Island/Lekki axis; their is high concentration of job opportunity in this zone compared to any other part of Lagos and rent is also high too.
Cost of renting a room self-contained apartment is in millions of naira, I don't have 1million Naira to ditch out in the first 3months of working at least, except if my salary is a million naira monthly, how many jobs on the island pays a million Naira.

Jobs/Vacancies › Balancing Rent Vs. Commute: The Hidden Costs Of Living Far From Your Workplace by Ekakamba(op): 9:56am On Oct 04, 2024
Living closer to one’s workplace generally comes with the benefit of convenience but also higher rent prices. The reasons behind this revolve around several key factors:

1. Location and Demand
Accommodation close to major workplaces, business hubs, or city centers tends to be more expensive because of higher demand. These areas often attract more people due to job opportunities, proximity to amenities, and overall convenience. As more people seek to live near their workplace to avoid long commutes, the increased demand drives up rental prices.

2. Convenience and Time-Saving
Living closer to work saves significant time. Commuting can be exhausting, especially in big cities where traffic congestion or unreliable public transport can make daily travel unpredictable. By paying higher rent near the workplace, one can save time and mental energy, which are valuable resources. With more free time, people can enjoy a better work-life balance, contributing to improved mental well-being and productivity.

3. Transportation Costs
Living far from the workplace often means spending more on transportation, whether it be for fuel, public transportation fees, or even car maintenance. These costs can accumulate quickly and, when added up over time, could rival or even exceed the extra money paid in rent to live closer to work. Essentially, the money saved on rent by living farther away is often offset by these transportation costs.

4. Stress and Health Impacts
The physical and mental stress of long commutes can be detrimental to one’s health. Spending hours on public transport or stuck in traffic can lead to chronic stress, which negatively affects mood, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Moreover, the fatigue from long daily commutes can reduce a person’s productivity at work and enjoyment of life outside of work.

5. Quality of Life
Those who live closer to their workplace often benefit from a higher quality of life. They can use the time saved from commuting to engage in hobbies, spend time with family, or focus on personal health. The financial savings from reduced transportation costs can be reallocated to other areas like entertainment or wellness.

Conclusion
While living far from work may seem like a cheaper option due to lower rent, the hidden costs of transportation, stress, and loss of time can outweigh the savings. On the other hand, paying higher rent to live closer to the workplace often results in a better overall work-life balance, improved mental and physical well-being, and a more predictable routine. Each person must weigh these factors based on their personal priorities and financial situation.

Samsung S24 Ultra cool

I'm not upgrading from my iPhone 13; I haven't noticed much difference between it and the 14, 15, or even the 16.

Some mid-range Samsung models can do things that even the iPhone 16 can't.

Can you believe iPhone only just introduced a video pause feature in iOS 18, something I’ve been enjoying for years on my Google Pixel 4a?
