Some people wake up every day already exhausted before the day even starts. Not because they are lazy, but because surviving in Nigeria can drain both the body and mind. Imagine worrying about transport fare, unstable electricity, school stress, family responsibilities, and still trying to smile online like everything is perfect. A lot of young Nigerians are trying their best quietly. Some are students hustling to pay fees. Some are graduates searching endlessly for jobs. Some are doing online businesses, affiliate marketing, POS work, or side hustles just to stay afloat. Yet people still mock others for “not doing enough.” The truth is that many people are carrying invisible pressure. The person you call unserious may actually be fighting silent battles you know nothing about. Sometimes people don’t need insults or comparison. They need support, understanding, and small encouragement. Nigeria has made many youths stronger, smarter, and more creative, but it has also made many people mentally tired. Still, despite everything, Nigerians continue to hustle, joke, help each other, and hope for better days. That resilience deserves respect. Be kind to people today. Everyone is trying to survive in their own way.
