My Life's Chapter 5; Surviving Naija
Listen to this Insight
<p>If life was a book what would be its title for you?<br></p><p>"The Journey of Faith" will be the title, and this chapter will be tagged "Surviving Naija; Keeping the Dream Alive".</p><p>Every Nigerian should earn a certificate of survival at this point because what the f*** is going on here?</p><p>Is this the end of the world for us here? </p><p>If this was a prank it isn't funny anymore, the margin dividing the poor and the rich has grown so tin and more people are seemingly poor than rich, maybe they were rich a few months back but right it seems we have more daylight robberies in the form of utilities and commercial ventures, No blame pushing here to the private sector cause it takes a lot to operate in an economy like the Nigerian Economy, but things are happening, imagine how banks don't have the cash to dispense and POS vendors always having money, like how are we buying the Naira as Nigerians?</p><p>Scratch the banking sector what about the bandits tagged A, B, and C, I heard some are bandless bandits, here's broad daylight robbery cause how the hell do they calculate it, but well on the other hand people do not use electrical appliances like they use to, if you are sharing a prepared meter with your name by now you should be awarded a private investigators batch cause people get know their neighbors bad habits of leaving lights and tv on and its all coming down to bills, unavoidable cost of living, let's not even talk about security.</p><p>Do we have a democrazy or are we crazy?</p><p>They have made us into clowns, who do not know the definition of a democratic system of government.</p><p>Well, we all are tired at this point and looking for a way out... </p><p>But what way would that be?</p>
