It's Getting Worse....
I'm a very optimistic person. I'm part of those who believe that things will get better even when it feels like there can't be a solution to the problem. Though there's no problem without a solution there are problems that will make you feel like it's over.
The thing bothering my mind is the economic situation in Nigeria. It's getting worse each day and I always hope for the best but I guess I'm getting tired. I've had too much hope that I'm becoming pessimistic.
Two days ago, I was having a gist with my sister and her friend. We talked about different things we're facing in the country. We have too many problems in Nigeria like insecurity, unemployment, inadequate power supply, and many more... While scrolling through my phone, I saw that one dollar is now six hundred and eighty naira. It was so painful because things will continue to get more expensive as it has always been.
Yesterday, I took four hours break from social media. I just wanted to have enough time for myself. I slept and I felt good after I woke up. Whenever I touch my phone, the first application I open is Whatsapp. I took to my Whatsapp to check some messages and also check people's status. While checking people's status, I was seeing dollar and naira everywhere. I wondered what could have happened again.
I took to my Instagram account to check some blogging accounts. I realized that one dollar is now seven hundred and ten naira. The craziest thing is that I checked it the day before yesterday and it was six hundred as eighty naira and within a few hours, it Is already seven hundred and ten naira. It's just like a movie.
When I woke up this morning, I didn't touch my phone. I just did all my home chores which lasted for more than three hours. I cooked and finished eating before I touched my phone. As I said earlier, Whatsapp is the first application I open on my phone. I just saw that dollar is now seven hundred and fifty naira. That's crazy!!!
Things are getting worse each day and Nigerians are getting poorer. I'm just scared of what's going to happen tomorrow again. I'm grateful to readcash and other blogging platforms. I'm also grateful to cryptocurrency trading and other legal things Nigerians do online to make money. If not for all of these, a lot of us may not be able to afford our three square meals.
Nigeria is just like hell๐
you are not alone my dear. same situation here
