My job is to RETWEET anything from this account

[Alex Onyia @winexviv]

I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.

They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.

They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.

Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.

The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.

Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.

At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.

Nothing happened to you.

The economy happened to you.

And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.

Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.

You didn’t lose your job.

You didn’t lose your salary.

But somehow, you lost your standard of living.

That is poverty too.

And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.

Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.

But surely, the bigger question should be:

Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?

If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.

But it has not solved the actual problem.

The real problem is that his labour has lost value.

And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.

How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?

How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?

How do we make food cheaper by producing more?

How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?

How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?

Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.

It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.

There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.

There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.

There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.

There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.

People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”

Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”

That is the part that keeps bothering me.

Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.

They just want hard work to make sense again.

And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:

Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?

Everything else is secondary.

@tee_teazer @Capitano_Ilexux I did mine in January. It's remaining 17Gb in August and I'm a heavy user. I stream lots of videos and I do online classes. It depends on your usage but it's a good investment

[DAVIAN @Davonicera]

@Ashegelu @tee_teazer That's actually what I did. It's far better than subbing every month

This is Monday Morning and No response from the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria(PFN) and No response from CAN?

So we are now accepting that we are Infidels in Nigeria cos Bola tinubu must run a Muslim Muslim ticket?

Very good

[Advocacy For Good Governance @governance_101]

They are all lies & propaganda — Garba Haruna the leader of Muslims in Anambra state sets the records straight and defends Peter Obi.

Nigeria will be OK ✌️

[The Big Bird🦅⚽️ @c_mobike]

They’re talking about continuity??, this is actually a slap on Nigerians after everything and the current state of Nigerian football.
I wish we were a serious country!!

More fire on Tinubu’s government from Catholic priests as notable fiery preacher and social commentator, Fr. George Ehusani blasts the government over its attack on Archbishop John Onaiyekan.

We need more Priests to speak out in defense of the Faith!✍️

I know Twitter doesn’t give successful marriages like these nearly enough attention, but I’ll continue to share more of these videos. We deserve to see more examples of love, commitment, and healthy marriages on our timelines.

The Super Falcons team is not impressive. Chances of winning this trophy is slim. This is our least impressive showing in WAFCON.

Let's just beat Cameroon and qualify for the World Cup. Any other thing is a bonus.
