Life is beautiful, is it not? We go from one end to the other. We discover ourselves, find the things we love to do, explore our interests and utilise our passions. Life is worth living…
I love life despite its challenges. I believe the beauty of life lies in the ability to overcome. However, I think God should have given me a heads up to the kind of battle field He was sending me to. Nigeria of all places…
Don’t get me wrong. I love my country. I am proud of my country, however, sometimes, it’s like if Nigeria is standing in front of me now, I’ll just jack her by the neck and ask her the question I’ve been asking for years,
“DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?!”
I don’t know when I became so conscious of the activities that goes on in my home. I don’t remember how I went from careless teen to … sensible lady. I think the years do that to you. My question is, with all this mess, Nigeria wants to add to my mental struggle? Impossicant!
One chore I’ll hands off if I can help it is going to the market. Bro! You can literally have a heart attack in Nigerian market. It works like Crypto or Forex. Just look the other way for five seconds and N50,000 is entering small black nylon.
Is it just me that market shows shege after budgeting? I have kept the 30k for expenses and we go to the market, the goods are smiling at me with +3k all over it! What?!
I may be ranting now but I don’t care o. This country will not kill me and I’m not going to try and be refined about my pain. Who refined epp?
Potatoes! I planned my 1k for a dozen sized potatoes. I go to the market and they are presenting me with the welcome story of the new cost of things. And the worst thing is, nothing ever comes down.
Nigeria, if she had her way, would defy the law of gravity. What am I saying? She is already doing it! Setting trends. Nothing that goes up in this country ever comes down. Once it crosses that line by even 5 naira, otilor.
Would I pay someone to do this chore for me? I was hoping God will pity me and send my guardian Angel in human flesh. I believe if he suffers with me small, he will move fast so we can become rich. Maybe the soft life in Heaven is too much.
In conclusion, going to the market with my money is one chore I would like to drop if I could. But can I ever? Maybe after I marry. For like 3 months, I will just be rubbing the man’s head and using his money until my kidney recover from all this financial assault.
Abi, is this why our men are marrying many wives? Cost of living is too expensive to bear alone. Nigeria is very active in arguing and now, she wants to argue with our Maker. Because this is nothing but a statement that it’s no longer “two is better than one” but “the more the merrier”.
