Happy Sunday to you all and thanks to everyone that commented on my previous post also a big thank you to those that tipped me, I appreciate every one of you and most importantly to rusty my joy giver of all time.

Looking at the struggle we had to pull up within the present state Nigeria is in now, each one of us as citizens needs a word of encouragement to keep us going in order not to run into depression because nothing is amusing in the country anymore. In the past few months, it has been from one bad situation to another and the government isn't doing anything to make life easier for the people they are called to serve. People had named the situation as bad as the intensity on their side, many called it "shege" and many called it "shege pro max", before the election each of the political parties came out with their manifestos and juicy offers just to gain people's trust for the citizens to vote for them.

Before the election, the federal government all suddenly decided to change the country's currencies with short notice, and the old currencies were banned as legal tender whereas the new currencies aren't in circulation. The citizens couldn't get to do their business because physical cash isn't available for spending, and the local men and women who don't have bank accounts aren't taking transfers they're bringing sales to a standstill. Electronic banking which could have been an alternative also is not functioning well, transfers aren't going through due to network problems and this became a major concern for everyone. Going to the bank to collect the little amount of cash to spend became a war, people will have to queue from morning till night with no hope of going home with the money.

The cost of living became very high, fuel is scarce at some point in time and consumable goods like foodstuff became very expensive that the less privileged couldn't afford the cost of transportation also became very high that you have to think twice before going out to minimize spending. During this struggle, some lost their lives while some of us keep on trying to survive in the storm, the government isn't talking about improving the system for the convenience of their citizens, and the only source of joy is oneself. Everyone is working hard to survive and make ends meet in the dying economy.

Doing what brings you happiness is the only escape route from depression because the person you wanted to depend on is also going through tough times therefore we are surviving based on the happiness we give ourselves. Later after the presidential election, the federal government announced that the banned old currencies should continue to be in circulation and should be used as legal tender together with the new notes but surprisingly both the old and the new notes are nowhere to be found which makes the struggle for survival more intense.

One good thing that I love about Nigeria is that no matter how difficult and heartbreaking the situation might be we always find our way around to keep ourselves happy either through our music or fun which we all know as cruise. I know we will survive and everything will be back to normal, it might take time but I'm sure we will survive because there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I hope you enjoy reading, I will be expecting your comments in my box.
