Anxiety on the rising cost of living in Nigeria

[Saxonebloomy]

While growing up our parents make it ring into our heads that money doesn't grow on trees. Definitely they are right, that's why it's vital to handle our money responsibly. But still in this part of the  country cost of living its so high that the poor and average masses are working  tirelessly  to keep balance.

some are working  longer hours  to make ends meet, while some have less time to spend with their family, and when prices increases rapidly, we may not hardly notice, especially if salaries are not keeping  pace. However, when prices shoot up and wages stay the same. We can become anxious and stressed particularly when if we have family to care for and compounding bills that you can hardly create room for a penny to go into bitcoin  investment or diversify portfolio, and right now the  price of things are getting more higher breaking the law of physics because they never coming down.

And so many of us tends to engage in different jobs just to meet up and at the end of the day you don't have time for your self or for your family or for health issues that may occur. And it's so overwhelming that one can be anxious and as a result loose his or her mental state.

This has risen concern in the country because the prices and cost of goods and services keeps increasing everyday and even when the price of fuel is constant the cost of living is still skyrocketing and the poor masses finds it difficult to survive, imagine a family Man with four children and a wife earning a salary of 70,000 and house rent is about 300,000 naira for a self-contained, how will he cope with that and we haven't talked about the children's school fees so no matter how he works hard, it becomes very difficult for him to cope because the cost of living is high and what he earns is small.

The only way to meet up the cost of living in Nigeria now is to have multiple streams of income or other businesses that generates money in that way one can be able to survive the high cost of living, one bad aspect of the prices of goods in Nigeria is that, once it goes up the traders never brings the prices down even when the price of petrol drops. So at this point all we need do is to invest in what will yield money on daily basis in other to pay our bills and survive.

Man deh cry dew to how deh cost of living want kpai deh living with deh level the country hardship deh be. Where man want see deh streams of income. Even better one job man never get na multiple streams.

 Deh government agencies no deh play their functions na why prices of commodities go dey go up with no price control and regulations. For this country no uniform price on a specific commodity around the country, equally for town prices no still get uniform tag. Na people weh invest today go feat survive am for this country in deh years before us.

The things take dey cost ehn, e come be like say we no get leaders. These are are not trying at all , they keep giving up fake promises that price of things will reduce. An average Nigerian worker who earn 70k ( that is the minimum salary wage) can't survive with that kind of low salary. Imagine he now has a wife and kids, to survival will be very hard for them. And sometimes they even owe them salary in their workplace especially those governmental jobs (civil servants). This alone makes a person go out and borrow loan from cooperatives or microfinance app, just to survive. The government needa to find every possible to curb this issue. What shocks me is how people keeping blaming prices of things on Fuel , but now that fuel has reduced why can't the price of things reduce a long the way.

You just have to keep it right there at the back of your mind that you must survive regardless what. having such a mentality helps keeps you in check so you focus on life heads on knowing fully well that if you are not going to stand up for yourself and sort out all your financial needs, that no one is going to ever do that for you. the economy might not be doing really well and that is a fact but then, in the midst of that, people are still surviving and doing really well for themselves. no matter how bad the economy is, people are becoming millionaire and making their billions in same economy. rather than sit back to give excuses, why not decide that you are going to be a part of those that will do well in the worsening economy and e ready to pay the price that comes with it.

Life is full of challenges and difficulties, without them, life would be no meaning or growth. This is the reality in Nigeria today. As people often say "man must work if man must chop". Hard work is necessary for survival. sincerely speaking, life is very hard for many people now, but people are still trying their best to balance their way of life and keep moving forward. Everyone is struggling in one way or the other, just at different levels. Honestly, for some people this challenges are too heavy to bear. The current economic situation has caused frustration, stress, anxiety and even depression for many individuals.

High cost of living, unemployment, low income, and uncertainty about the future have affected people's peace of mind. Some people feel hopeless, tired, and emotionally drained because their efforts do not always bring out a better results. The most important thing is that we shouldn't allow these difficulties destroy our mental health. Even though the situation is hard, we must learn how to protect our minds and stay strong. Challenges are part of life.

What you have outlined is very correct, increasing cost of living in Nigeria is really a thing of concern, the cost of living is gradually increasing more than the living, prices of things keeps going up and it is creating a lot of tension and anxiety. In my opinion i will say that the only way for individuals to survive this period is to diversify their sources of income and invest more in business, businessmen are the once enjoying Nigeria because for them to balance the rising cost of living all they need to do is adjust the prices of their goods and services but this is not same with private and government workers who depend solely on salary, salary can remain same for almost 2years or more while the price of living keeps on skyrocketing, that is why salary earners are always more frustrated with the current happenings in the country.

On the other hand the government also have a role to play in curtailing the level of hardship, this regular importation of goods from other countries won’t help us at all, the earlier we sacrifice and get our industries working and make lots of products locally in Nigeria the better for us, as long as Nigeria keeps on importing everything even as common as matches then let’s just be rest assured that the cost of things will keep on increasing, secondly our government should not put all their eggs in one basket, let them not rely so much on just crude oil when we have several other natural resources, see the kind of money England is making from just football alone, if our government had the foresight they can still do same, moving forward our leaders must not be myopic if they really want a stable economy.

  It's heart breaking that  the cose of food is at the increase while salary  remain the same, creating a balance becomes an issue . Unlike before when minimum wage was 19000 a salary earner can buy a bag of rice 6000  and still have 13000 to buy other  things.
Now with a minimum of 70000 a worker can hardly purchase a bag of rice which is 60000 and still have enough to go around with for the Month. It's very bad and the government need to create a balance between salary and cost of living.

Life in Nigeria is difficult for obnoxious reason. We have everything to make life easy for us, if only we are working together to make the country a better place. We have lands that are rich for farming, we have livestock, natural treasures and to mention. What have kept us in this state is lack of cooperation and greed from those in charge, especially our leaders. Well, just as you have said, we must be aware of surviving no matter the condition. A typical Nigeria will surely find a way to scale through difficult times, no matter how long it last.

[9ja Amaka]

Cost of living in Nigeria is very high and salary is very small, that it can't sustain the high cost of living in the society
It's so bad that you see people go to work from Monday to Sunday and still their salary can't match the cost of living in the country,  so they still struggle to go by everyday. One thing the government should try to do to help the citizens is to try and regulate the prices of commodity,  because like someone mentioned,  that prices never go down in Nigeria,  even after the cause of the price rise has been rectified.  I think that is not on the government,  but rather the wickedness of the people. To survive in this country right now, you don't have to depend on your salary alone, but you should have other sources of money, but the issue is how to get the capital to start a business,  when your salary is not even enough for you. It's really a big issue in the country and the government have to look into it and help the citizens live better.

Man deh cry dew to how deh cost of living want kpai deh living with deh level the country hardship deh be. Where man want see deh streams of income. Even better one job man never get na multiple streams.

 Deh government agencies no deh play their functions na why prices of commodities go dey go up with no price control and regulations. For this country no uniform price on a specific commodity around the country, equally for town prices no still get uniform tag. Na people weh invest today go feat survive am for this country in deh years before us.

I think na because of our government less concerns about the food production and sells na why this kind bullshit don d as a normal thing for our country. For price of goods to increase not to ever decrease, upon no better work wey d for country. You can imagine peso go d work all through his or her life na money for feeding em go hustle to get, unless em jam money from sell of landed properties or em brother d send money from abroad give am. The peso can't live above his or her means for our country.

One thing I like about our country people na we go fit survive whatever it's thrown at us. If the price of foods stuff increase wella, we go find means to buy them and manage ourselves as food d necessary.

[Pressurizedem]

What can we say, when the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. This is what we see in our society. The cost of living is becoming too high for the poor, I won't talk about the rich because they have something that keeps them going and are not affected at all whether things get expensive or not, they know they and their families would never starve, so it's not their concern.

However, I think if Nigeria can come together and say No to the increment of the cost of the things we buy, protest massively and peacefully about what is going on the country, I think the president of the country we be put under pressure to reduce the cost of somethings, especially food items and transportation fee.

[Pearl_20]

I wish our government can pay more attention to making things easier and better for Nigerian's instead of focusing on their political career and fighting each other for their selfish reasons, people are going through a lot on daily basis as most families hardly eats well.

I do tell my friend's that I don't like going to the market to get goods or anything of sort as most times I end up in a bad mood because of the price of things at the market, today you'll get something at a different price and the next minute it will be different price altogether, the poor are not even the ones been affected only I know someone who works in an oil and gas company with 4 kids,  he says even with the fact that he can provide isn't easy on his side as his wife can go to the market with a reasonable amount only for her to return with few things from the market.

To even save or do investments is difficult this period except for those who are working and earning good money or those into businesses, I just hope that our Leaders will do something real quick about this matter.

[Hardyrobust]

Na so the country take be the wey prices of food and other things take dey rise for market it really calls for concerned. This government just dey come up with policy that is going to affect the masses. Like the issue of tax wey then just bring up. After then remove fuel subsidy the price of everything just go up and uptill now we never see the positives effect of the removal of fuel subsidy. This administration na really the worst administration so far.

unfortunately this is a common problem and alot of person have just adjusted to thier reality. Even me that i am writing right now i dont have time for myself and i have to get task done because that is where i survive from and also trying to survive in this economy just requires and additional source of income however small just something asides your main job that can be putting money into your pocket. Times have changed from our parent's time and our time, especially economically but that concept of adding something else to your source of income has always been the blueprint.

[Floczy]

Sometimes, I ask myself, did we come into this world to repeat the same process of life?

I am sick and tired of trying to grow in a country where every little step you take, the government pull you down immediately.

Every laws, polices and regulation have done nothing good for the society. A country that cannot compete globally whether international trade etc.

I think the best way to survive the raising cost of food and economy hardship in Nigeria is to have an extra source of income because if a Man depends on his little salary he can't be able to meet up the requirements of the society as the prices of all commodities keeps increasing on daily basis, it's not just food that is increasing, everything to mention is on the high increase and people are suffering it yet the government has shifted their concerns from agriculture and concentrating on crude oil and that's why we are in hardship for food.


The reason why the government has neglected us is due to the fact that you have stated, that Nigeria can survive whatever that is thrown at us so they believe since we can survive anything thrown at us they now feel very relaxed and free to do whatever they like to us instead of proffering solutions to the problem and hardship we  face, they are out to rule for their personal interest and gains not the interest of the masses, may God help us.

This one no be today story na, na something wey all of us for we country don dy complain of since, especially when president tinubu come into power, him goal na to make Nigerians poor to the extent wey him fit bend us over, to anyway him like, but God pass am, him plan no go work because most Nigerians no depend on government to survive.

The only way to meet up the cost of living in Nigeria now is to have multiple streams of income or other businesses that generates money in that way one can be able to survive the high cost of living,

Multiple streams of income na another way to navigate your way around this present hardship in the country, but one thing I like most about multiple streams of income is that it guarantees financial security, but e get some people wey dy earn from one source but only that one source dy even large pass person wey dy earn from different means, so my own sentiment be saying, make we try engage in things wey go make us earn more money, and stop depending on our government, because them don fail us long before now.

[Rockson1]

The question be say do we have anything like price control in this control in this country and let's say we have, which people the setup such government body, the president right, so have ever heard them say something relating to this, the government are jokers, infact they know what they are doing, how will the farmers and the people they sell to retail reduce the price of things when the governmet refuse to act, the government is hiding their face in shame because they failed to do their own part, the production cost in this country is very high and the government are the major cause of it, their is no constant electricity, most of the power generating set used by these production companies run on Diesel both their heavy duty trucks for transportation of their and of course we know the piece of Diesel, PMS and so on, so how will these guys survive, despite that the put price of things high the government can not face them because they know that they have nothing to tell a producer thats selling to profit in other to cover up all the production cost, if the government had some their part then it would have been easy for them to act with strict punishment to whoever fail to comply.

If it is the Nigeria is know there is nothing like price control if there was fuel most especially wont be sold with different prices in different places in the same country Nigeria.  In Nigeria the sales of commodities is a strategic point of success which is why all business sectors are controlled and governed by our leaders indirectly making it difficult for them the think of implementing such policies in the country.  Apart from there interests one good reason they find it difficult looking into it is, you cannot control what you don’t have. Most of the production sectors are owned by a private entrepreneur but has a specific return he gives to the government as task and because they are owned by Individuals,  controlling the price will be difficult compared to when some sectors are owned by the government.
