Hardship.

Sincerely, hardship is the current situation we are facing here in Nigeria. Is quite obvious that things were not normal as it was before, but the experience of this current situation of hardship in Nigeria is now to notorious that even leads to the last protest which was End Bad Government.
The funny part is that no one is excluded from it, both the rich 🤑 and poor💩 is suffering from the same challenge. Mean while, the poor can't afford to get what the are used to anymore while the rich has reduced the rate of their expenses just to meet up and chop with the hardship situation of the country currently.

Currently in Nigeria, not even a single item is still the same price as it was before as of 2023, everything has just increased in price, and the worst part is that items keep on increasing in price on a daily basis without reducing, and as the keep on increasing in price so as the demand keeps on decreasing, so this shows that it's really affecting the masses.

Actually, is been said that 'there is no food for a lazy 🦥 man. So its obvious that for now I haven't rech to the level of being dependent of myself, but that doesn't mean I should fold my hands and stay at a place since I know that the current situation of Nigeria is too hard. So I have been coping up with my poultry farming business and I have also learnt to adapt with the current difficulty of my country, so I had been able to know how to manage the little i had.

So I had to learn a skill for myself, which is graphic and design and also web design such as creating of websites and also managing of websites. So with this skills of my, I have used it to make a lot of income and savings which have been helping me to cope with all these difficulties.

Is too obvious to everyone that after the fuel subsidy was lifted, the price of fuel now skyrocketed from it managing price to the worst, and from that day, the prices of items and also the means of transport now increased massively. So I believe that the cause of all this difficulties is really coming from the governments and the chief civil servant which is the 'president.

If given the chance to relocate for better opportunities, I would choose Canada due to its ample job options and higher wages, believing I could better navigate its economy, because the most annoying situation here in Nigeria is that most public sector, doesn't pay their workers there salaries or wages completely, most times the don't pay at all.

So wtithout a doubt, I would move to Canada without hesitation. I've resolved that if the opportunity arises, I will leave Nigeria immediately. The situation here is dire, with the rich becoming richer and the poor growing increasingly impoverished, highlighting the level of corruption in the country.

Thanks for going through this amazing post of my I really appreciate 😘.

Am inviting my friends @richy20, @josepha and @goodbest to also participate.
