Nigerian journalist Jimi Disu has lamented the economic hardship plaguing the nation.
Speaking on Nigeria Info FM, he said: “Nigeria has never been this bad. Just this morning, I was talking to an ordinary person, and she told me that in her home, they’ve resorted to one meal a day. Even during the war, it wasn’t this bad in this part of town.
To cut a long story short, I’m going to be spending about N120,000 on electricity for an apartment, and I live alone. Not only do I live alone, I also have two homes: a day home and a weekend home. It’s the weekend home I’m talking about.
In my estate, the minimum amount one can spend on electricity is N50,000. I said Nigeria has never been this bad. If you’re not careful, you’ll sell a house only to use the money to clear some debts and have just a little left to buy something for the house.
The dilemma now is that you can’t save because the Naira has no value.”
