I am crashing out this morning.
Petrol is now ₦1,000 per liter. Yesterday evening, NEPA brought light for less than 10 minutes. Less than 10 minutes. Then darkness. From then till now, nothing. Absolute nothing.
And this is the part that burns me. Every serious country on earth knows that oil prices are tied to global crises. Wars, sanctions, supply chain chaos. These things will always happen. That is why functioning nations invest in their power grid. So that when fuel becomes expensive, ordinary people are not stranded. They have electricity. A backup. A system that works.
In Nigeria, the backup is dead. The grid barely survives on a normal day. So when the world shakes and fuel prices climb, the common man gets punished twice. Expensive fuel and no light. Not even for 30 minutes. You are on your own in every direction.
Do the maths with me. A small generator burns about 1 liter per hour. At ₦1,000/liter, running it for just 5 hours a day is ₦5,000. That is ₦150,000 a month. The minimum wage is ₦70,000. You would need more than double your entire salary just to power a generator. Just to have light in your house. Not luxury. Light.
Someone will say use solar. With what money. A basic home setup costs ₦500,000 to ₦1.5 million. The same worker earning ₦70,000 would have to save every single kobo for over a year. No food. No rent. No transport. Just saving. And even that is not enough.
I talk about investing and building wealth on this page every single day. But I would be lying to you if I said any financial strategy can survive this. How do you budget when the system is fighting you from every angle. How do you plan when the most basic thing a government should provide does not exist.
This is not politics. This is pain. And the arithmetic does not lie.
