LIFE AND LIVING IN NIGERIA I

It is an irony to say Nigeria is moving forward or to say Nigeria is a standard Country with good leaders. We can't say that Nigeria is the gaint of Africa any longer neither richest with mineral resources in Africa nor great nation. Leaders has made living in Nigeria a hell to their followers. Rights is no longer respect like before. Citizens live from hand to mouth, No savings. Yet leaders save for their unborn children, thinking they have a good heart.

According to an interview with an Igbo boy, He shared his experience with me that "Each of the goods I sold, I got maximum of 30 naira gain, and before I could put something to mouth I would have sold up to six approximately 180 naira which the six is not certain" he paused

"I'm a graduate with third class upper from university of Benin, My family tried their best to sent me there and I studied Business Administration, but what comes out of it is to be a street hawker." He said.

This person was from Ebonyi state, he said his uncle said he should come over to Kwara state to start a petty bussniess which his uncle was controlling but his uncle sent him away when He is becoming more grounded in it. "Life has become hell for me after my uncle sent me out, I had to use the token with me to collect toothbrushs on credit which I begin to sell it, the gain that came from it is what I used to feed myself, sometimes I took sausage and sachet water on credit.'" He said

Life has become miserable for some graduate out there, they hardly get thrice food a day while our politicians are booking for latest luxurious car and they fund their unborn children account, just to make life better for their generation while they forget the harding work youths.

A man once said to me that "when the suffering is much, a evil thought will be welcome" what does he mean? He was telling me that " Youths become Internet fraudster when our politicians refused to help them and the youths will try to practice what they are been taught in school"

'What are they taught in school?" he paused, "They were taught that Nigeria government is less concerned about our future, so, find a way to get a better living" he said.

Life and living in Nigeria is like a hell in a cell.

Kwara State Polytechnic Mass Communication Graduate Emerges Best Fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship

As I read about Mosunmola Esther Ajibade’s recent achievement, lines from the Kwara State Polytechnic anthem echoed in my mind.

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training

A bold new project aimed at transforming the lives of 100 young people in Gombe is underway, as Ishaq Abdullahi Shehu, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps member from Kano State, turns his agricultural expertise into a community development program. The initiative focuses on modern fish farming techniques designed to combat youth unemployment and boost local food production.

Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
