All Of Us In Nigeria Are Pretending To Be Fine - Onyemali Ogechukwu

Nollywood actor Kunle Remi recently shared his struggle to recover from the high cost of filling his car’s fuel tank due to the rising prices. In response, a commenter noted, “I like as all of us dey pretend like say we never enter trouble for this country. Federal republic of suffering and smiling.”

This comment captures a widespread sentiment among Nigerians grappling with the economic challenges that have intensified in recent years. The phrase “suffering and smiling” reflects the resilience of citizens who often mask their struggles with humor while navigating daily hardships.

While laughter can provide temporary relief, it’s crucial to acknowledge the underlying issues affecting many families. Conversations around economic policies and their impact on ordinary people must be prioritized to foster genuine change and support those struggling to make ends meet.
