I Don’t See The Level Of Hunger Nigerians Are Complaining About — Onanuga
I have people working for me privately and i ask them questions about how they’re surviving and adjusting. This government has increased minimum wage by more than 100%.

There was a time this was legal.
It was the clean water sold on streets. Everyone bought it when we are out and thirsty.
It was sold for 5 naira per one.
I hired a young man to help my father around the house after his surgery. He showed up fifteen minutes early with a notebook, asking about my dad’s medication schedule and favorite meals. I expected the basics, just light cleaning and making sure he didn’t miss his pills. When I came home that evening, my father was laughing. The laundry was folded, dinner was warm, and the porch light had been fixed. They were playing chess at the kitchen table.
I told him he didn’t have to do all that. He shrugged and said, “I don’t like doing things halfway.”
Turns out he was studying physical therapy but had paused school because he couldn’t afford his clinical hours. He was working multiple small jobs to save up.
I mentioned it to a friend who runs a rehabilitation center. They needed an assistant and were willing to sponsor the rest of his training in exchange for a work contract.
He went back to school that fall.
Some people don’t just show up for the job. They show up for the calling.
I got custody of my little sister when she was 14. She’s 24 now. Yesterday she texted me,
“Check your bank. And don’t argue.” 😭
I opened it… and she sent money for groceries.
Said, “Buy something nice too. Not just bills.”
Ever since she started working, she randomly sends rice deliveries to the house, pays the internet before I even notice it’s due, shows up with takeout on nights she knows I’m tired.
I never ask. I don’t expect it. She just does it.
Last week I saw her fixing the electric fan for our younger cousins, teaching them how to budget their allowance, moving through life like someone who learned responsibility early.
And she did. Because we grew up together. Two kids pretending to be strong. Two kids figuring it out without a manual.
So let me applaud us quietly. I was a teenager playing parent. She was a child forced to grow up fast. But somehow… we didn’t break. We built something. And we made it.
I used to have this guy as a friend. He has money oh, not Aliko Dangote kind of money, but he lives a soft life!
We met through football and became close. But as our friendship grew, I started noticing something strange about him, he cheats people casually.
He would say, “Bro, give me cash, I’ll transfer it to you,” and you would never see the transfer.
He bought party tickets from me, I no see the transfer.
Collected cash from me, no transfer.
One day he bought food from a vendor in my area, and later she kept telling me she never received the money from my friend. Anytime I confronted him, his usual response was, “Bro, I go do am later.”
On my mum’s birthday, I invited him but he couldn’t make it. He showed up the next day instead, and my mum had to stress herself cooking another pot of ukwa just so he could eat. We all ate and drank. As he was leaving, he asked for my mum’s account number. She gave it to him. He told her he had sent her a birthday gift.
My mum was so happy. She thanked him and prayed for him.
Knowing him, I kept asking her, “How much did he send?” She said she hadn’t seen any alert. I told her to relax, that it would come.
After three days, nothing.
So I went to a POS agent, sent my mum 50k, and later called her. She said she had received the money. I told her it was from my friend.
From that day till today, whenever we see each other, our greeting doesn’t go beyond, “How far my bro.”
A Brazilian farmer playfully calls out each cow’s name from his notebook, and the cows answer with distinct moos proof that daily routines have taught them to recognize their names.
PayPal locked Nigerians out of the global digital economy for 21 years. No receiving payments. No withdrawals. Just ‘send-only’ status while our freelancers and businesses struggled. Now that we’ve built a billion dollar fintech ecosystem without them, they want back in. The audacity.
