How the youth are struggling hard to survive

by Jessica Ofuoma

Recently, Nigeria has faced a big problem that’s hurting many people, especially young folks who don’t have jobs. The government stopped helping with fuel costs, and now the price of petrol is 617 Naira, which is a lot. This makes everything more expensive, and it’s tough for people to manage their lives. On top of that, the value of the Naira compared to the dollar is going up, which makes things even worse.

For young people who don’t have jobs, life has become really hard. The things they need to buy cost more money, so they can’t find enough to cover their basic needs. It’s like trying to swim against a strong current without a break. The idea of enjoying their youth has become less important, and they’re stuck worrying about how to make money just to survive.

A tweet I saw said, “Only those who make money in foreign currency and those doing cybercrime can survive.” This might sound extreme, but it shows how frustrated people are. They feel like they’re in a tough situation and don’t know how to make things better. They’re not just trying to live comfortably; they’re trying to stay alive and not go hungry.

This tough situation has big consequences for everyone in the country. Young people are supposed to be the ones who bring progress and new ideas, but instead, they’re just trying to get by. This isn’t just a problem for individuals; it’s a problem for the whole country because it stops progress and development.

In this hard time, it’s important to find ways to help people who are struggling. The government needs to make good choices, come up with plans that make sense, and do things to help the economy grow and include everyone. If they’re clear about what they’re doing, and they focus on the right things, things might get better.

As Nigerians deal with these hard times, it’s important to remember how strong and tough they are. They can come together, support each other, and ask for changes that will make things better. Even though things are tough now, if everyone works together, they can make the future brighter.

In the end, Nigeria’s problem with high prices and economic issues is hurting a lot of people, especially young ones who don’t have jobs. The government’s choice to stop helping with fuel costs and the higher price of petrol are making life harder for everyone. But this is also a chance for the country to unite, find answers, and make things better. It’s a time for everyone to be strong, work together, and make sure that all Nigerians can not just get by but actually do well.
