Nigeria is Not a Joke — But the People in Charge Think It Is

  • Thread Thumbnail

    Let’s be honest:

    Nigeria is not the country we deserve — and it’s not because we lack people with sense.

    We have talent.

    We have oil.

    We have gold, gas, brains, energy, music, art, tech, hustle...

    Yet, most Nigerians are surviving, not living.

    💔 Our Current Reality:

    Food prices are wild. You enter market with ₦5,000 and come out with onions, vibes, and heartbreak.

    Power supply? Like a ghost — it appears when it wants, disappears when you need it. 

    Fuel subsidy is gone, but the suffering stayed behind.

    Graduates are begging for ₦50k jobs, while politicians earn millions to “sit and discuss.”

    Security? You pray before every trip. Even going from Lagos to Ibadan feels like Mission Impossible.

    And while the average Nigerian is grinding 24/7, the government is sharing SUVs and increasing allowances

    🇳🇬 But Why Is Nigeria Like This?

    Because the structure is broken.

    We run a system that rewards power, not performance.

    State governors don’t have full control of resources

    Local governments don’t even know their rights

    The youth are excluded from real power

    Education is underfunded

    Healthcare is a gamble

    Lawmakers earn more than doctors, and do less than cleaners

    This isn’t by accident — it’s by design.

    💡 What Can We Do?

    Truth is, we can’t fix Nigeria in one election. But we can start by:

    1. Demanding accountability — Don’t just vote and vanish. Monitor them. Call them out.

    2. Supporting credible young leaders — Not everyone in politics is evil. Some need our push.

    3. Using digital platforms — Share ideas, not just memes. Educate your circle. Build awareness.

    4. Investing in yourself — Learn skills, create value, empower your circle. The real revolution starts in your wallet.

    5. Refusing to normalize suffering — “We go manage” is not a strategy. Speak up.

    ✊ We Are Not Lazy — We Are Lied To

    We were told to “go to school and succeed.”

    Now we graduate and hustle like dropouts.

    We were told “leaders of tomorrow.”

    But they never told us tomorrow never comes in Nigeria — unless we take it ourselves.

    💬 Let’s Talk

    What’s the one thing you want to change about Nigeria right now?

    Comment below.

    Let’s start the conversation.

    Because if we stay silent, we stay stuck.

    🔚 Final Words:

    Nigeria is not hopeless. Nigerians are not helpless.

    But until we fix the structure, we will keep fixing the same problems every 4 years.

    It’s time to stop clapping for politicians who are paid to do the job they begged us for.

    We are watching. We are talking. And soon — we will act.
