Poverty and frustration...

Reminds me of a guy way back in warri.

This guy, his wife, brother and brother's wife were all cramped up living together in a room and parlor like sardines. At the time he was just deported from Libya his brother wasn't doing too well also.

Every day it was one issue or the other. You could always feel the tension in the atmosphere.

It got to the point of this particular guy bringing out a cutlass to threaten his brother one day. They were separated by neighbors.

Now I met this guy again years later at an event with his family-the whole gang. His wife had put to birth and apparently he was doing well for himself. Dude had even built a house for himself, car etc. (yahoo money )

I couldn't help but notice how cool and lovey dovey everyone was and happy. So me and my big mouth jokingly commented on the day they were chasing themselves with cutlass.

What he said next amazed me. He said all those fights and quarrels at the time was due to poverty. That he couldn't even give any reasonable explanation as to why they were always fighting. That the cause of the fights sometimes were so trivia but it mattered then.

He went on to say that since they started doing well for themselves recently they had never had any serious issues as they always resolved any misunderstanding amicably without blows... He said they could have just killed themselves back then over very trivia issues that didn't even matter. That looking back he could not even remember what was so important to the extent of him raising a matchet for his own blood.

Poverty is really a terrible thing. It leads to frustration.

It's really difficult if not impossible to hear this kind of news coming from the rich folks.

Poor people problems!

I disagree with Obi on this, we should allow the authorities to do thorough investigation, we don't like taking responsibility when something bad happens, the organizers of these events should be questioned

I agree that our irresponsible leaders are the root cause of this, they also have their own blame

Talkativeness is killing Obi

Selfishness is when you think only about yourself and ignore the misery of others.
Before now 150k is enough for comprehensive season shopping and see where we are now yet income remains almost the same

Atuero:
Off point

This is a budget of continued hardship
How can you service debt with about 15Trn and still willing to pile another debt of 13Trn while wasting a whole 15Trn on recurrent expenditures that's can easily be slashed by 50% if the government is accountable

Boss, pls help me with 5k to buy Rice and cook for Christmas. I don't have a family to celebrate with. Thanks


I truly empathize with us Nigerians
It's affecting even the rich, I bought turkey @150k in the market and you think there will be light at the end of the tunnel?
