The State Of Things In My Country | People Finding It Hard To Breathe

The state of thing in my country currently since the hike in fuel price, it was really a shocking moment to everyone after the removal of fuel subsidy which wasn't that new to us but we weren't expecting the price to 3x within few weeks, we were expecting them to bring in a solution to cover the subsidy removal but it was as if we got deceived. Now things are gradually getting harder for an average man and really tough for workers now since majority of them can't afford the high transport fee and they have to literally trek to their work place most times and also trek back home. A friend of mine was really lamenting about the stress he pass through every blessed day, he had to leave the house around 5:30 am in the morning to the bustop if he can see free ride because he spend nothing less than 2k daily on transport fare and his salary is just 80k, that is half of his salary without feeding or savings, I just keep wondering when things will finally be ok

They have no plan to increase the minimum wages or make things easier, now things are getting double in price and then this, like what is this, telling citizen to start considering bicycles as a means of transportation, like for real, I can't even laugh because I am always in my room all day since I'm not a salary earner that need to be going to work everyday but what people are really facing now is really out of this. The price of bicycle will shoot up soon as usual because the demand will be high and i don't thing companies are putting anything in order just to give their workers that convenience, no wonder people are finding every means to leave the country and find greener pasture in other country

With the rate of things going on, I hope we will be able to cope with things because it is not up to 3month and we are feeling the heat already, complains here and there, everyone one trying their best to survive and stay sane with all the things that is going on, It will be well one day

Now I just pity the people who can't ride a bicycle just like myself. It get really bad with each passing day and it's the fact that people find it hilarious 😂.

Using bicycles has its own disadvantages;people would reach their work places sweeting profusely and at the same time very exhausted.

Bicycle is not a popular transport mode in Nigeria and many will not like even invest in it. Besides, not everyone live where the road is great. At my side, the road is terrible this rainy season. Even bicycles will not find it funny here.

no one will even buy the idea, riding bicycle to work everyday is really stressful and there is no way their day will even be productive after such stress

That’s the evil part about subsidies. They distort the real world prices of things and when they are removed people forget what things cost. It’s painful to experience but I hope they don’t put the subsidy back, that brings back more confusion. Subsidies are very damaging long term, for short term gains.

I think a bicycle is a good alternative as long as people have a safe place to store them. It gets some exercise as well which is important!

I really hope things will get better in this country, removal of subsidy has affected the state of the economy badly. Bicycle as means of transportation is a bad joke because it is impossible.
