LivingSage:
You're not soft towards people, always hard, check yourself.

If you didn't use harsh word on me that day, I wouldn't have responded in that manner. I later apologized and deleted my comment.

That aside, I've comment and commended you on your food thread afterwards, why you brought this up tonight is surprising.

I'm not lousy, associating with with those kind of boys you described is crude insult to my personality.
That's not me

LivingSage:
Oh, that's what you meant by lurking around to attack u
You're belittling me, I don't have more than this account.

Why would you think a grown man like me will stoop that low
Am I that jobless! We've never had any encounter to have warranted these accusations.

I deleted my post and apologized, that must have been the one you screenshot prior to when I deleted it.
Once again, I'm sorry for that comment. It wasn't intentional

Hhmmmm, sorry bro, dm me ok, don't worry i will make you breath for sometime

55truth:
Around the mid-90s, I was a little child then still following my mother to the market. My mother was into buying and selling palm oil. I may not remember everything again but I can still remember vividly that before we returned home, she would buy 10 cups of Garri for N10. If it is 15 cups, it would be N15. 20 cups would go for N20. That's N1/cup. That was in stock to serve till the next market day.

As a son of a palm oil seller, against all odds, I have strived to attend education up to tertiary level only to come back and be hit with unemployment, in an economy with throat-cutting inflation. That same Garri that was N1/cup, the attached photo is 6 cups for N500. This is not even enough for one mouth not to talk of several mouths. How did Nigeria become this expensive and difficult for average citizens to survive amidst massive unemployment/underemployment?

The recent removal of fuel subsidy has even worsened the whole situation, making prices of goods and services beyond the reach of the common citizens.

"Can the poor breathe please?"

I am an applicant with mouths to feed, finding it difficult to survive each day. And as a Nigerian living in Nigeria, can I at least breathe until I get a job or find capital to start a business and things become better?

Undoubtedly, millions of Nigerians are in my shoes, and even worst. This is evident in the Nigerian streets.

Yahoo, kidnapping, money rituals, etc are not meant for everybody but unfortunately, the youth are being pushed into it due to the state of the economy. Note: I'm not in any way in support of the aforementioned.

In Tinubu's voice, I would say, please,

"LET THE POOR BREATH".
"DON'T SUFFOCATE THEM".

And on behalf of unemployed Nigerian youths, WE WANT TO BREATHE. DO WELL TO HELP THE UNEMPLOYED WITH A JOB AND ANY OTHER SUPPORT.

Angelfrost:


Good luck getting your response from Op! When he does, better luck trying to sell your defense further!

Procashtips:


Then you're not ready for objectivity.

DREAMHOMES6970:


What objectivity do you mean? How do you explain this to someone earning #30k as minimum wage during Jonathan's regime when a bag of rice was #8500, rubber of garri was about #500 or less, 25 litres of oil was between #3500 to #6000, fuel was #65 and with the subsidy removal then fuel sold for #185. Now same minimum wage of #30k, a bag of rice is about #40k, a rubber of garri about #1500, 25 litres of oil is about 25k, with subsidy removal fuel is #500 which is still likely to go up. now because of fall of naira to dollars I pass my neighbor generator you will easily get for #25k during Jonathan's administration is now about #80k , same with every electronics in the market. Yet Same salary. So how do you explain this your objectivity to the man earning same amount as during Jonathan's administration

nairalanda1:





Yes, I am laughing.

I can recall back in the 1990's that people used to say then that in the late 1970's, a loaf of bread cost 50 kobo, margarine cost less than 20 kobo, and a bottle of beer cost somwhere around 75 kobo. That right now (1995) we are suffering

Oga, you have spoken well, but back in the 1990's, people complained a lot about how harsh the economy was then, how the naira was being beaten up by the dollar, how inflation was biting us, and how bad things were.

Even the garri you are thinking was cheap then....it was expensive by the standards of the day. Yes, and back in the 1990's. people were talking about the good old days when garri cost in kobo .....

I can recall that one guy I once knew back back in the early 1990's treated his friends with soft drinks, meatpie and buns. Total cost for 7 people...N25.

Even cars. In 1990, a new Peugeot 505 cost somewhere around N900000 . In 1983, that same car cost N12000. Today, any Peugeot product in Nigeria can't be less than N5million.

Even then, unemployment was a big problem back then. A very big problem back then. Part of the reason why I did the course I did...a medical related course, was because my parents back then saw that if someone read a 4 year course, him go search for job. Medicine was still employing...so better go there

Go and read Chiamanda Adiche's book, Americanah. Read the first few chapters. You will see how people suffered in those days. Nigeria of the 1980's and 1990's.

Ol boy, things were tough back then. And it is because all of our administrations, including this one ...the Tinubu admin, all of them ran economies based on the price of oil, and over importation. That is why we don;t have enough jobs, because everyone is importing stuff...and as a result, any domestic manufacturing is crushed. Like in the 1980's most textiles used in Nigeria was made here. Foreign made textiles were seen as bad (my late gran would call someone who bought foreign textiles 'unwise'). Now, they are...all foreign...because we Nigerians too like foreign things. Even now, we want more dollars...because...


Oga, the day you Tinubu, Atiku, Obi and other supporters stop arguing, and start being productive, we may eventually see our way out of this mess. That's why I am not a supporter of LP, APC, PDP, and co. Because not one of them has proposed a policy as to how we would get off oil. Yes, Tinubu has not told us how we would and should get off oil, which is why I do not support him, same for Obi, and same for Atiku. And until we are ready to stop being resource dependent, the cycle is going to continue.

Kukutenla:

Keep quiet with all your lying and sanctimonious pontificating. You supported Dumebi Kachikwu. What was his plan to get us off oil before you decided to support him?

Menclothing:


Do you think any other party will bring price down lolz jokers
Once price go up it can’t come down and it’s not about party

We having population growth in Nigeria our consumption are imported

Inflation never start

Komu1048:



I pity those that will take your ill-fated advice. Do u even know how much it will cost to set up an acre of farm, what will the person be feeding on before harvest. What's the assurance that the farm will do well if the op have no prior knowledge of farming. As he has pest, rodent, weed and even thieves to contend with just to mention a few.

Ass of Go2farm whereas they glue to their work

So where will someone who is staying in Lagos and still trying to find his feet find Land to do farming.

It's always easy to Relocate to other States and start afresh on Paper.
