No Money, No Fuel: How to survive the current situation in Nigeria
It is no more news that we are seeing our worse days in the present regime. We have all tested a bit of what worst feels like, but then, are we ready to give up? NO.. So we have to push through.
We now have a situation at hand, but I believe nothing lasts forever, THIS TOO SHALL PASS. In order for you not to lose your life and sanity before the end of this wind, here are ways to manage yourself:
🥦 Banks do not have money to pay, and ATM is not paying. “POS too náá wahala”.
The little that Bank has is not in any way, near one-third of the volume needed. So, do not go to ATM except it is more than necessary. There are too many fights at the ATM. A lot of people are angry and frustrated, don’t let anyone take out his/her frustration on you, don’t lose your life because this period will also pass.
Those going to ATM to look for N1,000. If you can get N2/3K to collect, please, I beg you to stay in your houses.
🏀 Postpone all projects for now pending when things normalises. Dont force things so you dont get disappointed and frustrated. Your sanity matters a lot
🍒The most important thing now is food. Any little money you can get, use it to stock food for your children. We pray famine does not set in.
🍇Minimize wakawaka. There is no Fuel, those selling are doing so at a very high price.
An unnecessary show of affluence is just being irresponsible and reckless. Transportation is high now. Do your work indoors if you can.This is not the time to call and disturb someone for urgent #2K, send me airtime, or buy me data. Use ur head and control the little money you have at hand if you have any.
🍐 Avoid unnecessary news for now. It will only send you to an early grave. The only thing the news in this country does is to give you a heart attack. Avoid all these unprofessional newspapers, especially the ones owned by those known to be members/supporters of a political party. They will all LIE
🍊 Whatever happens, try and have internet data. Internet has been a great tool in reducing depression. Browse, laugh, and keep yourself happy.
🍋 Pray for yourself, your family, and your friends. Ask God to show you the direction to take.
May we all survive this season. Amen
