What inspired me to work hard is nothing but the hunger people are passing through, which can make me triple my hustle while I take the opportunity I have seriously while I fight against the unseen adversity that people pass through in my country, Nigeria.
Ever since a decade now, things are not being seen as they were in the past, as feeding and what to eat is quite challenging to the people of Nigeria. Hence, it has not been an easy one when I see full-time men and women begging for something that is not worth anything, which makes me feel like I need to work more and harder, to the extent that when I see such, I always feel like I am already backsliding in my effort just because of fear of not being in such a condition, which serves as motivation to work hard within the strength of my ability.
Hence, as a matter of fact, in the market where food items are being sold, my fellow Nigerians can bear witness to the fact that foodstuffs have done 4x over what they were before. Just imagine that trend, which no one knows when it will come to normal, which I think with the current situation of the economy of the country, is really something to doubt about just because the inflation crisis within the country of Nigeria is quite alarming.
Now the scenario is all about if you fail to double or triple your earnings, there is no means of survival, which has made me diversify my means of earning in different niches, including this Hive blogging, which has been a good support and also my online and offline place of work. Just because of the condition we found ourselves in Nigeria, which is quite alarming as such, either you survive it or you remain on the street begging for what to eat, which is the survival of the fittest.
Last time I went to the market to change some of my material I wear, I discovered that I didn't have enough money to buy as much as I thought, which is a result of the inflation crisis in my country. That reminds me, back then in my secondary school, when the Naira, our local currency, still had value. As much as I earn with my little ability is always enough to satisfy my needs, but now you need to work hard daily with no rest just to fulfill a need.
There is no way it has been easy for me and my fellow Nigerians, even in the transportation section, people are trekking what they cannot imagine doing in their lifetimes just because transportation has become the "winner of the economic crisis," which has prompted people to use their legs more than public transportation to the extent that car owners are now among them in the queue of trekking due to the high cost of petroleum.
All this is a lesson that I don't need anyone to teach me that things have really changed, which has inspired me to learn more, work more, and extend the capacity of my strength just to make sure I remain with the stability of myself so I can take care of myself and the bills that face me as a man. Even the ladies are no longer exempt in this case because it is currently affecting every gender, even the children, who face this as they grow.
Whenever I heard people say that something has added more price, it was another worry on its own, which implies that I needed to add more strength to my ability to do more, which is quite stressful and abnormal to our body setting, which is against the ethics of a good living behavior. Today I work day and night just to fulfill all righteousness, which is not easy for me nor is it easy for anyone out there, despite some claiming that it doesn't affect them, but I do.
The situation is quite alarming that the demand for extra support, be it financial support, advice, and most especially the inspiration that comes from music, has an effect on my belief system just to correct the wrong impression that the situation in the country has already created on my behalf, and that is why I always rely on "it's gonna get better" by Sam Martin.
This explains it all for me, the reason we all have to keep moving forward and learning, and as much as we work hard in accordance with our abilities, just to make it better, which implies that there is still hope to correct the wrong impression, and as much as the situation just to make things move as they should, which is the inspiration that I have for myself, my family, my offspring, and even the entire Nigerian community at large.
I hereby encourage everyone to have inspiration that makes things better, and as much as I believe in what Sam said, One day "it's gonna get better," which is a matter of time to forget the suffering that man has already passed through. Within our reach, my regards to Sam Martin and the Q-inspired music for reviving and reminding me that there is still a better place to dwell and enjoy which is just a matter of time.
