That's the sad reality. Cos transportation has increased so these traders in order not to sell at a loss would add the hiked transport fare to whatever price they decide to sell.

folake4u:
Actually!!!

And we both know that once price goes up in Nigeria, it can never go down.

A 5 mins walking distance to my house with keke was 100naira before, this past week it's now N200.

Nazgul:
What still baffles me is that despite the nation wide suffering, people are still defending this man. Go to Twitter (X) and see how they fanatically defend his absurd policies.

Buhari we were calling clueless ruled for 8 years and fuel increased from N97 to N179 per liter.

Tinubu came on board and within one year, fuel has increased with over 1k difference.

I'm just trying to imagine how Nigeria would be by 2027. Maybe fuel would reach 5k per liter.

My prayer now is for God to make my Japa plans work. Even if na to engage in dry fast I won't mind. Cos with the pace Tinubu is ruining this country, it's only a matter of time before looking good can become dangerous cos you would easily be robbed just for dressing good.

Is it really that bad in Nigeria? No vex, but I don't know why a part of me is yet to believe that things are actually tough for Nigerians. I find it hard to believe.

folake4u:
Oh of course, people would still defend his actions. Na all of us go suffer am las las. Loool.

Only this year, fuel price has increased like three times. Schools are resuming tomorrow and children must eat oh. They don't care how you get the money but they have to be fed.

I pray I'm not in this country before 2026. From my mouth to God's ears. Because the country doesn't have prospects of getting better in the nearest future. Oh well, maybe it's because I'm a realist.

By God's grace, your japa plans will succeed. Insha Allah.

I'm really pitying people with large families this period cos I know that they won't be finding it funny.

Me that's not even Married, I'm complaining about bills, how much more those with like 4 kids?

Honestly my prayer would be to exit this failed country. Nigeria is gone.

folake4u:
Yeah me too. They're really going through a lot this hard time.

Bills choke for both married and unmarried, Naz. 😂🥲

I called my Pops yesterday and he was saying at their side, some filling stations are selling for N1,100-1,400. Never seen my old man complain so bitterly.

Nazgul:
My aunt called me today to complain that fuel is between 1,400-1,500 in the east.

And I was like how would small scale business owners survive?

Even top MDs and CEOs are complaining...na wa o.

7k cannot get you a jumbo sized frozen chicken here in Lagos. Although if you add like 1k to it, it can get you live old layer, but not jumbo size.

Rubyjade:
Oh food is relatively cheap in Minna depending on where you are in Minna.

folake4u:
1,500 is really high oh. Omoooo crazyyyyyy!

Toh. Small scale, large scale oh, everyone's suffering the bad economy.

Didn't you see Dangote carry microphone dey do media rounds? Lol e touch everybody.

Gerrard59:
Even when there was subsidy, fuel has always been high in the East. I saw the new NNPC list and fuel was higher in Port-Harcourt than in Ogun. Yet Rivers is an oil-producing state.

Nazgul:
It's really bad out there. Imagine you're running a business center and have to cope with buying fuel at N1,500 per liter. How much can you make at the end of the month, cos you still have electricity bills and other items like paper and ink you'll need to keep your business running.

These days, start up small scale businesses can't survive. Most go out of business without even realizing their capital.

Those who already have jobs are watching their salaries become worthless cos of the way the naira keeps depreciating each day.

It's well o.

folake4u:
Lol, it is indeed crazy.

I was gisting with my friend this morning and he was saying there wasn't much traffic today because there wasn't even much buses on the road. In this Lagos oh. Monday morning.

Running a business in Nigeria currently is not for the faint hearted. Only the strongest can survive.

Lol even multinational companies are folding up or leaving the country. Many companies are downsizing too for cheap labour. The naira devalues daily....

Nazgul:
I have a friend who's office rented an office space at Ikeja around airport road. He told me that only them and 2 other cooperate firms remain there. The rest have all folded up cos their rent was increased by about 70% so most couldn't cope. Coupled with the fact that the purchasing power of the people has greatly reduced. So there are hardly any customers out there.

He even told me that they literally struggled to pay their rent this year and with the way things are, he's doubting if the company would remain afloat by this time next year.

I advised him to get a remote job.

folake4u:
Hmmm I can only imagine.

It's terrible out there.

Remote job is the way now. But it is looking hard to get especially for the non-tech roles.

Nazgul:
Then you learn tech so that you can position yourself accurately in the job maket.

That's exactly what I did and got mine. I paid to learn, and used the knowledge I got to land a job.

folake4u:
Yeah I know.

Yeah, for that stuff we spoke about a while ago, I'd reach out when it's time.

Nazgul:
No wahala

Juliearth:
You are right. Chicken offers more value than beef. Another close alternative is Goat meat.

Advision:
Goat and cows aŕe typically free range in Nigeria.

Chicken are typically battery-cage and high on synthetic growth hormones.

You're likely better off with the former.

Nice2023:
I was dazed when I heard the news....it was hard to accept the reality but in all,I am not happy as it affects everyone.

This is not what they told us about Tinubu although I have never believed him as a person cos,he was just the opposite of what they say about him.

Timmi:
instead of whining and complaining, go and rear your own goat, chicken, etc. if a Chinese man can come to Nigeria, cultivated yam and selling the yams to Nigerians, then you can get off your behind and do something productive. and some zombies without sense will be clicking "likes"

Juliearth:
Yes, you are right. There are markets for everything.
