By Daily Tab24
There appears to be no way out of the hardship facing the country with President Buhari appearing overwhelmed by the situation he found the country. He has only promised to make things better and insisting that the condition the country is in will soon phase out.
Practically, Nigerians can no longer breathe, and are convinced the President only made political statement without anything to back it up. Even while the president was still promising to handle the situation, the free fall of Naira is significant every minute, making the prospect of stability glimmer.
All over the country, there is hunger and people find it hard to endure anymore. News of where tubers of yam are shared or edible things are shared, Nigerians rush there and almost stampede one another to reach for what to eat. The impact of hunger in the country is so dire to the point nobody considers the risk of stampede when fighting to reach for just a tuber of yam.
The cost of living is the most challenging thing to Nigerians and while that is the case, Nigerians need to curtail three square meals to have a chance of surviving this regime. Hunger can lead one into unthinkable actions and sometimes into regrettable crimes, and as such, the main focus should be on how to tame hunger and manage with the little than can be afforded.
Eateries across the country have become so expensive to the point average Nigerians cannot afford it, and those that have resorted to mama put now complain about the quantity of the food, not minding the quality. A handful of ‘Akpu’ or ‘Eba’ plus a watery soup now cost between 700 and 1500 Naira. It adds to the problem Nigerians are facing today, everything has turned upside down.
