To say the truth only the blind will claim things are normal in this country. Many people are just surviving and hoping for a better day.
Things hard oo and if you're sharing with the few privilege one that are okay they act like you're exaggerating. One thing I know for certain is plus the rich and poor na 6 feet las las. The most important thing is what will people say about you when you die.
Think about life after death also.

EKONGKING:
Nigeria is giant of Africa ,our lagos has better GDP than Ghana .

If you believe deluded patriots on this forum or BMC ,you will be immune to suffering going on here .
A hungry man is desperate ,he will do anything for food.
Insecurity in Nigeria is going to last a long time ,when you have a fantastically corrupt elite along with mumu nigerians ,who like suffering and who produce kids ,like their is no tommorrow .
Afghanistan will be child play compared to nigeria in next 10 years .

The kids ,whatever their tribe ,when they grow up can kill for as little as 50 naira. Hunger will drive them.

You won't see that Mannerlessbaboongorilla or whatever that clown is that hails his loving daddy on this sub.

What I noticed when I observed public waste bin in less than one hour.

Witnessing the unfortunate situation today reminds of palliatives looting from various warehouses during #EndSARS last year and Lai Mohammed and Femi Adeshina later came out to say even though Nigerians were seen scampering for food items does not mean any Nigerians are eating from the waste bin. Today, I have a proof for them and their APC government.

So I left house this morning to meet someone who had promised to link me up with someone who can help my unemployed status. Having reached the place early enough, I called to notify but I was told to hang on there and I found a place and sat down.

Looking around, I noticed a public waste bin and in no time, condemned iron pickers with their truck entered the place and ransacked everywhere in search for iron and other condemned household items. While they were still there, some kids presumably homeless joined them in search for rotten food. I could see them picking things from the bin and directly into their mouths and until no other to pick again before they left. Just as though the bin has regained its freedom from the attack of the street urchins, immediately, I saw an elderly woman ransacking the same bin in search for woods presumably to be used as firewood (a kg of cooking gas now is N600 and Kerosene N450). While she was still trying to pick her interest, a man with wheelbarrow pushed into the place with a heap of cartons/paper materials. He parked and ransacked the same bin for cartons and any paper material thing. He greeted the elderly woman and they both had conversation which I really didn't know what they discussed before they finally left together.

As all these were happening, I had no choice than to still wait for "my helper". Before I knew, another set of women came to visit the same bin. These ones, their interest was on plastic bottles and nylon/waterproof materials. They picked as much was available before they left.

Not long from then, a new visitor to the bin was another child in search for rotten food not knowing early birds have already taken all that were available. I felt so bad and disturbing seeing what was going on there so I was eager to leave the place. Just then, the person called me that I should be going back to my house that the appointment can no longer hold today.

As I made move to pass the bin, the underage greeted me and added "Oga abeg help me with N50 make I take buy something chop". I felt pity for him. This boy is too young for this. Ideally, he should be under the care of his parents. Anyways, even though I was left with only my transport fare, I couldn't pass and I gave him N200.

Wow!!! Honestly I left the place very disappointed and broken down physically and mentally.

Disappointed due to the cancelled appointment and mental breakdown due to the gory site of where some Nigerians now resort to sourcing for means livelihood. Indeed, IMO, this country is a terrible place. It's structured to favour very few and that is why we are still the way we are today and until normalcy and sanity is forcefully returned by eliminating those who have spoilt and reduced the country to this mockery stage, I see no changes where some Nigerians would not have to sleep with empty stomach and start a new day by picking things from waste bins while others spend public funds sleeping in world best hotels in and outside the country.

As I'm typing this, I can't tell how many other persons have continued to visit the same waste bin afterwards and other waste bins in search for source of survival. Rather, this has forced me to ask myself, is this the dream of the founding fathers of Nigeria? Unemployment? Poverty? Frustration? Sourcing livelihood from thrash bins?

I rest my case!!!

The North reduced Nigerians to a level lower than animals. Can the government have food stamps? Yes, but they wont do it.

Nigeria is a cursed country. Just take it like that. No one is blameless in this black madness.

The parents of those kids are 1diots. Ask them why they birth those kids they can't fend for and hear their demented believes. At least you op know you can't bring kids into this world since you aren't on your feet yet....but that's not how those kids' parents think.

Then those kids...one of them may end up in the corridors of power but will not care that children are languishing in the gutters as a result of the stupidity of their parents. He/she will do worse than those in the past and current administration and wreck the country the more.

That's cursed nizooria for you...The curse on the black man. Research on it as a case study.

The truth is life is fair to all, equally opportunities also abound to all however environment can affect anyone's pace of progress.

Someone said every country deserves the leaders they have, could this be true?
