We are all evidents of the hardship that Nigerians citizens are facing in this present regime, it is really hitting hard on many citizens since majority of the citizens are without job, and even those who are working are not well paid, and
some people even work for months before they will get
paid. For these reasons, many citizens are struggling to survive including both the young, and the old.
Nobody is really comfortable with this kind of situation that we are into, but some citizens persevere the situation of the country waiting for when it will end, while their are also those who has said no to it, and are ready to commit any crime in other to survive.
Honestly, the rate of crime has increased sporadically, you see some people selling their own children, many young people joining online fraud, the rate of ritualism is on the increase, the rate of stealing is also high, and the female children going into prostitution. All these crime is to make themselves, and their families to survive the hardship that Nigerian leaders has brought.
If the Nigeria economy is stable, and the common man can survive comfortably, even with the little job he does, and the little pay he receives, crime rate won't be this profound.
What is your take on this ?
Well what you are saying is correct, the instability in our economy has really triggered a lot of crime in Nigeria, just imagine if Nigeria economy was stable and lots of youths have good jobs after school that cater for their immediate needs you will see that lots of the youths won’t bother to join cyber crime and other form of social vises but because most of them have lost confidence in the government and the economy they are looking for other means of survival, most crimes is just because of hardship, most prostitution in universities is because of hardship and hunger, sincerely being a Nigerian at this point is terrible nothing is working in this country, lots of dreams are buried on daily basis.
