Hope is expensive here
<p><br/></p><p>Hope is not free here.</p><p>It costs something — sometimes everything.</p><p>It’s in the price of fuel that keeps rising,</p><p>in the long queues for things that should be basic,</p><p>in the endless wait for systems that rarely work.</p><p><br/></p><p>Here, hope is not a soft word you toss around in conversations.</p><p>It’s a battle cry whispered under tired breaths.</p><p>It’s waking up before dawn, not because life is easy,</p><p>but because it demands more than it gives.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yet… Nigerians keep going.</p><p><br/></p><p>The woman in the market who opens her stall under the first light,</p><p>not sure if she’ll sell enough to feed her children.</p><p>The danfo driver who wrestles with traffic and bad roads,</p><p>still greeting passengers with tired jokes.</p><p>The student juggling night classes, side hustles, and shaky electricity...</p><p>dreaming of a future brighter than the present.</p><p><br/></p><p>These are the silent warriors.</p><p>The everyday dreamers who hold this country together.</p><p>They don’t always make the news.</p><p>Their names don’t trend.</p><p>But their strength fills the gaps where systems fail.</p><p><br/></p><p>Here, hope is not free — but it is alive.</p><p><br/></p><p>It breathes through tired laughter,</p><p>through unbroken routines,</p><p>through people who keep showing up even when nothing changes.</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe that’s the miracle.</p><p>That in a place where hope is tested daily,</p><p>we still find ways to believe and smile.</p><p>Not because the road is smooth,</p><p>but because we refuse to let the weight of this nation crush our spirit.</p><p><br/></p><p>Hope is expensive here.</p><p>But every day, ordinary Nigerians pay the price —</p><p>with courage, with faith, with quiet resilience...</p><p>reminding the world that even in hard places,</p><p>dreams can survive.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
