Different scenarios don make me know say living in Nigeria when your family no get connection is difficult oooooooo. Make I gist una some stories. So I dey this group of tech guys for Facebook, na dem post say wetin be our yearly salary. Everybody just dey post different amount of money wey dem dey receive yearly in dollars. When I calculated my own money and I converted it to dollars, shame no fit make me post. The least developer in that group was earning $50K yearly. That was the first time wey I realize say Nigeria is not for me.
The other time na when I see the price of DNA test, I just weak. Government go scam people, religion go scam people, even non-virgins aka boreholes go still scam people and the government no wan subsidize DNA test. I prefer to buy fuel for 5000 without subsidy but make DNA test dey subsidized. Dear men who can't afford DNA test, make una just dey pray for me, I dey develop an app wey go help una. Laslas, we all go dey alright. The good news be say, the app go come with a feature wey go get "LAST SEEN ONLINE" of a kpekus.
What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news

Trying to pay for anything online and the country is not listed. I wanted to make small forex during my unemployment years from Amazon. As soon as their server detects my home country, ban immediately.

Tithes and offerings have reduced. No matter how hard I prophesy, no longer bring money like they used to do before because things are hard.

I'm planning to relocate my spiritual center to the US. Trump is a Christian so he'll me and force Americans to pay me for my prophecies.

This I have seen.

Sometime around mid 2000, one of my uncle asked me for cash, while still discussing it, it was announced on the radio that the state government has cleared their outstanding debt and that no worker was being own salary. I looked at him and tears started running down this man's face, he said to me that it was a lie. That this has made it difficult for people to help him. Truly he showed me his salary and truly he hasn't be paid. I felt so bad and I couldn't understand how the state could be so mean to her workers.

It was that day, that I lost hope in Nigeria and the next year I left the country for good. I only visit that place, if they fix it I will show back otherwise I have no intention of wasting my life there.

I was hoping investors like dangote could come into the electricity problem but maybe I guessed wrong. People like him can help us achieve steady power you know?

The fact that you weren't there when the deal was made was what put you at a disadvantage plus you don't have so much to throw around, Nigeria failed me too when an incompetent hospital let my mum die while fleecing me of every penny, still charged me a hefty sum to discharge her corpse, brought her in the morning she died in the evening due to negligence, doctor hasn't come, doctor hasn't come, after I paid money here and there for different reasons I don't , nothing tangible was done they're only concerned about the money they stand to make without paying attention to the patient until this middle age woman died for nothing.

The Exchange rate getting worse daily.

We will struggle to leave comfortable lives if our currency is like a toilet tissue paper. We are an import dependent country for goodness sake.

Imagine people have to save for months just to own ELECTRONICS. Some even take loans [b] just to buy electronics because our currency is useless.

Iphone 16e is barely $600, yet most Nigerians will have to wait to buy used phones. Pathetic

... back then when knowledgable people openly told us that Nigerians can never vote for the likes of Gani Fawehinmi.

I couldn't understand the logic. There is no saint but there is commitment. Someone spent his entire life fighting for the common good when he clearly has more comfortable life choices yet his people said they can't vote for his type because he was too radical. He fights for you but he can't lead you but you can vote for Obasanjo ?

Same thing with Omoyele Sowore today. Watch what they will start saying on his 70th birthday when he is already exhausted grin

NEPOTISM & MAN-KNOW-MAN promoted in every sphere of society instead of MERIT.

Very frustrating to deserving & hard-working folks.
