If airfare is too pricey, go by train.
If petrol is no longer affordable, convert to CNG.
If you can’t afford Coke at ₦500, drink water.
If French champagne is too costly, try zobo.
If pepper is scarce, plant it in your backyard.
If bread is overpriced, consider pap, ogi, akamu.
If DSTV is out of reach, reach for a book instead.
If restaurants increase prices, cook at home.
If your power bill is high, reduce your usage.
If data is expensive, use free mode more often.
As a people, we must learn to cut our coats according to our cloths, not our size. Economic challenges are a worldwide phenomenon. There is a hunger crisis in Britain, a homeless crisis in Canada, and a healthcare conundrum in the United States. It is not just Nigeria. Our situation in Nigeria is compounded by the loans Buhari took, which mortgaged our future oil sales. And since we in Nigeria cannot adjust economic realities to suit ourselves, we must adapt ourselves to suit economic conditions. We cannot keep borrowing to sustain fuel subsidy and defend the Naira.
Wishing you and your families a most prosperous New Year.
