Country

They will still come and defend, the only consolation I have is that both the supporters of the government and I go to same market, same filling stations, we will enjoy it together

Sick President, Sick Country

Nothing surprises me as regards Nigeria. I won't be surprised if inflation reaches 20%.
How can Dangote be selling cement for 3500 and product that shouldn't go far more than 1500 naira. And one idiot will tell me 'buy naija to grow naija' and CPC isn't doing anything to help the active poor masses

things are not just hard but very very hard in this country. Getting a job is hard already not to talk about the age restrictions they use so as to disqualify the poor unlike the rich
The few who are even lucky to graduate on time are being faced with issue of connection and even the few who are connected are asked to get more connections.
Now, things are expensive and they expect the common man to be able to afford them. Thesame person who has no job and does not even knw when and where the next meal will come form, I weak for Nigeria. Even the super chicken who are supposed to make us haply are busy disgracing us. Which way Naija

600 years of suffering for anybody that voted for this Buhari calamity government

By the time buhari and his cronies are done with Nigeria you lot would start running to Benin Republique to do shoroty

Now that fuel price has gone up cost of transportation is something else, inflation is here to stay, bear with us.
