People say money changes everything. In Nigeria? Not always. Because there are some struggles that don’t care whether you’re rich, poor, a student, a CEO, or a politician. For example… That moment when your network suddenly disappears exactly when you need it most. You can spend the entire day with full bars. The moment you’re trying to send an important message, make a transfer, submit an assignment, or reply to your crush… “No Internet Connection.” Amazing. Then there’s NEPA. One thing that unites Nigerians more than football is the sound of light going off unexpectedly. You could be watching the final minutes of a match. Submitting an online exam. Charging your phone at 2%. Or finally enjoying the cold air from the fan. Then… Pim Darkness. No warning. No explanation. Just vibes. Another universal Nigerian struggle is hearing: “Can I ask you a question?” Nobody has ever recovered peacefully from that sentence. Your brain immediately starts reviewing every mistake you’ve made since birth. And let’s talk about transportation. Whether you’re entering a bus, calling a ride, or driving yourself, traffic has no respect for anybody. Traffic sees everybody as equal. The billionaire and the student are both sitting there wondering why the road hasn’t moved in 20 minutes. But perhaps the greatest Nigerian struggle of all… Is checking your account balance after spending money confidently. Before checking: 😎 After checking: 😳 Suddenly you’re calculating every biscuit and soft drink you’ve bought since January. The truth is, despite our differences, Nigerians share a lot more experiences than we realize. Different backgrounds. Different tribes. Different lifestyles. Yet somehow we all have stories that make us laugh and say: “This country eh…” 😂👇 What’s one Nigerian struggle that BOTH rich and poor people can relate to?
