LetsDestroyAPC:


Any party did/would have done better than APC.

I'm not an APC fan, but if LP or PDP was in charge today, nothing would have changed.

The problem with Nigeria is simple. We sell raw materials, not manufactured goods, and import stuff. And because we do not set the price of what we import, we never earn as much revenue as we would have if we were exporting manufactured goods.

That's a large part of the reason why we are broke and looking for loans. The prices of what we sell never reach the level where it would provide adequately for our needs. Also, we make matters worse by using oil money for everything...including subsides...which worsens our debt level when the costs of subsidy rise.

That is why we have a bad economy, and all this complaining we are doing...was done when PDP, the army was in power. Even when NPN was in power, people said the same thing.

We also do not have jobs because we overimport. As a result we don't make nothing...and thus no jobs.

So, we are in so much debt that we had to remove subsides because if we kept them, we would have gotten broke in a few years....

The problem with Nigerian parties and government is that they want to share oyel money...yes, that includes even Biafran groups, Boko Haram, and a host of other things. Ask them to promote measures for us to make phones for export, or radios for export, and we would get blank stares.

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.
I feel your pain but here is the truth.

You need not look endlessly for jobs when you can create one with the level of your education by expanding your mother's palm oil business Strategically.


It's High-Time We All Knew That Keying into Agriculture is The Easiest Avenue to create jobs for oneself instead of wasting a whole lot of time searching for white collar jobs.

Yes, and back then that was 'expensive'

That milk cost N1 did not mean that oga husband and father could afford it...salaries were probably somewhere around N100-200, and then you still had to pay rent and stuff.

Plus until 1984, some food items, milk inclusive, were heavily subsidised. The subsidy was removed because thanks to the oil price collapse of 1982, we just did not have the money to keep milk down.
Kudos.
You really know Nigeria.
From way back it has always been stories of suffering in the country.

Losers complain. Smart people see opportunities in times of difficulties.

Imagine someone who plants cassava (minimal maintenance) and yam this period. The outlook is very encouraging. The unemployed loser lounging in the cities waiting for God to pick his/her imaginary calls can relocate to the village to farm. In a year or two, s/he will have more than enough money to start life on a good footing.

You know what to do.

It's not easy as you want people to believe. In the village now, there are little availability of land and malicious grazing by Fulani cattles. The rate at which herdsmen intrude into people's farm is alarming. Records abound.

A plot of land will give you all you need. 1/2 plot for yams. 1/2 plot for cassava.

You already sound defeated even without trying. Cassava requires minimal maintenance. Do this or stay online and continue complaining.

I hope there is a church around your area. Go there for all night fasting and prayers. God will send down manna from heaven. And pastor will send spiritual bank alerts to your phone--of course after you drop your last dime in the offering plate.

1/2 a plot will give you all you needed.

Why don't you pack all your family into cassava farming. Minimal maintenance, so cassava won't require a well aerated fertile land, won't require weeding, won't suffer from rodent attack, won't suffer from dehydration in case there is lack of rain, can’t suffer from termite attack among others. People should just go to farm the next thing is they will be settled for life whereas ur lazy ass have never depend on farming as a soul means of livelihood before.


You don't need to persuade Nigerians into what's lucrative or opportunity. When they see opportunity they can harness they go for it.

Someone with no prior knowledge of farming with no money for basic things, ur sick advise is go and farm. Foooooooool
