Current realities

 If you stay in Ikorodu and work on the Island,


It has to be near garage,

With BRT,

You spent #1450 daily as transport fare, that's if you don't need to take Keke or another transport to where you work.


In a week,

That's #7,250

In a month,

That's #29,000


In a country where minimum wage is #30,000


Let's say the person in the scenario above earns even #100,000 monthly,


Factor in cost of feeding @#1,500 per day *just smile because that not realistic Abi?* That's #45,000 in 30 days


He will buy Airtime and data *In sane climes, there is wifi is buses, offices, parks and public places*


He will put aside some money for his house rent, electricity and other home bills.


What if he has aged parents and younger siblings?


What about other exigencies?


He won't need new shoes or clothes in one year ?


He doesn't need detergents to wash the ones he his wearing ? *I'm not even talking about patronising dry cleaners*


Yet,

The balalabulians will still blame people like him as being responsible for part of our economic woes.


Can Nigerians just remove the ethnic and political veil, speak the truth and demand for proper governance instead of making excuses for the same set of people that have perpetually ensure they live in penury ???

  1. The only thing that can provide reasonable solution to all these challenges is good governance and this should be reflected and properly implemented in all our sectors whether private or public. Hence, without this, we go nowhere. Enough of subjugating ourselves under this clueless and tyrannical government.
