Life in Nigeria
<p>In Nigeria, You’re Not Broke—You’re Just Temporarily Awaiting Financial Clearance from God or GTBank. </p><p><br/></p><p>The Deeper Truth:  </p><p>The average Nigerian has mastered the art of surviving financial droughts with creativity, humor, and unwavering faith. Whether it’s navigating no light to charge your phone, bargaining with mallam to buy garri on credit, or praying for one WhatsApp message that says, "<strong>Hello, long-lost uncle has left you millions</strong>," resilience is our currency.  </p><p><br/></p><p>Why It Hits Home:  </p><p>- Faith as a Financial Plan: From "God will provide" to "December is coming," hope is our 13th month salary.  </p><p>- The Hustle Hierarchy: Side gigs aren’t optional—they’re survival. Your tailor is also a forex trader, and your pastor sells skincare.  </p><p>- Collective Struggle Bonding: Nothing unites Nigerians faster than complaining about fuel prices or sharing a "who’s suffering more?" meme.  </p><p><br/></p><p>Actionable Wisdom:  </p><p>"Manage your expectations like a Nigerian parent—hope for the best, but have a backup plan (aka ‘side hustle’). And remember: if you can survive Lagos traffic without losing your joy, you can survive anything."  </p><p><br/></p>
