Sometimes I sit and ask myself: is it supposed to be this hard just to live a normal life in Nigeria?

We're not even asking for luxury. Just peace. A steady job. Electricity that works. Security on the roads. Food that’s affordable. But somehow, even the most basic things feel like a fight.

You go to the market today and prices have changed overnight. Fuel scarcity one week, power outage the next. Then you hear news of people being kidnapped, or another protest being shut down. And in the midst of all this, you're still expected to "hustle hard" and keep your head up.

It's exhausting.

This is not even about politics anymore. It's about the fact that many of us are just tired. Mentally, physically, emotionally drained.

We’re still trying — going to work, looking for side gigs, sending airtime to parents, caring for siblings, applying for jobs abroad, praying at night — but it feels like we’re carrying a country on our backs.

I’m not here to rant. I just wanted to say if you’re feeling tired, you’re not alone. There are so many of us who feel the same way but stay quiet because we don’t want to sound ungrateful.

But let’s be honest — we deserve better. This is not what living should feel like.

Peace to Nigerians;

I dun wash hands comot for una matters

because Nigerians choose their leaders based on tribe and religion instead of competency. We also steal other people's turn to lead just out of blind support based on tribe and religion. You can't have sustainable peace without justice.

You're just a paid online influencer and therefore shouldn't be taken serious.

is not about earning 200k per week.
What can the 200k do for you in this country?
How much is ordinary data?
I do 11k and e no dy reach me 1 week
How much is fuel
Even if you want to buy light.
