If Nigerians would ever be free.
Can't be doing the same thing and expect different results. I doubt if Nigerians would ever be free, not with this present self-centered politician and this generation, self-minded and selfish. We know the problem, but we won't address it.
In life, you will realize that there is purpose for every person you meet. Everyone we meet plays an essential role in our life, whether good or bad. The people who “cross your path” are crossing it for a reason.
They came for a reason to teach us something.
Nigerian economy is being strangled by the exorbitant
salaries of the senators and the
members of House of Representatives. Be a politician is to serve your people and not to get rich venture.
Politicians in Nigeria earn more money than their counterparts
in developed countries
1 Dollar - N920
Fuel - N615/Litre
Crate of Egg - N3,500
A bag of cement - N5,200
A bag of pure water - N350
A bag of rice - N45,000
Transportation tripled.
Accommodation doubled.
No significant change in salaries, except for some bankers.
People have been managing to survive - taking loan from loan shark to sort the ones they took from another.
The survival threshold will soon break and when this happens the poor will have nothing left to eat but the rich.
