Recession, Nigerians Fighting For a Bread In Shoprite.


It was a beautiful Saturday, the birds were singing on the trees, the sun were moving down to the East. Couples celebrating in all the corners of Festac/Amuwo, Ikeja, Lakki, In fact Lagos was full of celebrations.

One could feel the glamorous atmospheres in Golden Tulip. While couples and well wishers were celebrating, some were fighting and murmuring because of hardship in the land. Ooh as I was about to drive to Okata, a friend wanted to pick up something in one of the famous supermarket in Lagos . Yea it was a day of discovering for me because I Managed to discovered a nice fragrance that day. Yea if you love good fragrances, I will advice you to go for "Tom ford black orchid" for men. Well it goes for 51,000 niara which is $113 USA.

Never mind, as the evening was getting darker, we could hear a loud noise coming out from one area, we thought maybe IPOB are protesting the illegal detention of our leader Nnamdi Kanu at Golden Tulip. Although that was were the DSS picked him up when he came back from the United Kingdom. But we were wrong, surprisingly, it was a fight of Bread inside the shoprite in Amuwo Odofin. What a shameful display; When we got to the supermarket to get more details, a security man told us that these crowd you are seeing here are only fighting for bread.

What? a common bread? Although I hate to buy things in shoprite, I hardly go there because they refused to sell my products, and to me it is a wast to spend my money buying things from them because you need to patronize those that patronizes you. I was so disappointed seeing crowd of people fighting because of Bread, although the price of bread has gone up from 200 Naira ( $0.44) to 300 Naira ($0.66) since Buhari took over. Ooh gosh, is this the type of change the APC government promised to Nigeria that they will be fighting for bread when voted? Ooh no, God help us. we have entered a one chance change. And undefined change.

Imagine in the history of Nigeria, people are fighting just to buy bread? This is to show you that things are hard and people are suffering. It's a shame that we have a government that lacks vision but only good in propaganda and blaming game just to get people's sympathy, thinking that people will be praising him. if they continue with these their blame games and fighting corruption syndrome, by the time they woke up, Nigerians will die of hunger.

Well the truth is that we are in worst corruption Nigeria has ever known. " From PDP fuel subsidies to APC Dollar subsidies. From PDP oil dealers to APC dollars dealers. from PDP poor screening exercise for Federal employment to APC employment of family members and members of the ethnic group without screening exercise. From PDP national party of corruption to APC ethnic party of corruption.

From PDP freedom of information to APC oath of secrecy. From PDP freedom of movement and civil liberty to APC restrictions of right. From PDP robust INEC to APC nepotic INEC. from PDP National DSS to APC family/ethnic/ party Dss. From PDP rule of law to APC Buhari body language and tyrannical government . From PDP corrupt governors to internationally acclaimed super corrupt ministers. To make it short under Buhari, Nigeria became fantastically corrupt. From borrowing money to purchase nomination form to having a wife with 40 million naira hand bag, Halliburton nko?

The COAS estate isn't it not corruption under Buhari, meanwhile under GEJ a minister was sacked because a company he once had had an interest in bidding for the power he was privatizing. Under PMB the EFCC boss with millions of dollars traced to his bribing scandals has gone free and unquestioned while under GEJ Stella of aviation ministry was sacked to allow free and fair investigation into a frivolous allegations against her which she was later proven innocent.

Between PMB and GEJ who is truly corrupt? Who has abused the people's power entrusted into his hand? Who have raped us, killed us extrajudicially? Who has appointed his tribesmen into offices against the spirit of federal character? Is tribalism an act of corruption or not? Is nepotism an act of corruption or not? Is cronyism an act of corruption or not? Is maginalisation an act of corruption or not? Is seizure of citizens right an act of corruption or not ? Who is corrupt? APC has not been able to conduct election since Buhari took over, what is it? Coooo what? Is it cooo purity or ruption? Hahaha. Ondo APC primary witnessed bags of money under the leadership of saint Buhari....it is change." Edo election canceled because of security just a state".

In Conclusion, I will say that if Buhari and APC really want to change Nigeria. Let them restructure the country, so that people will not be fighting for bread. Because bread is the only thing an average Nigeria can afford.
