Describe the current situation of your country or homeland in terms of economic, financial and social aspect.

The economic situation in Nigeria is worsening day by day, this present adminstration does not want the poor people to breathe any longer if you go to the market today to buy goods at lesser price on the next day price will increase suddenly.

Kongo of Millet we used to buy at the price of 350 naira before which is about 1.5steem is now 700 naira which is about 3steem.

Poor are getting poorer, since removal of subsidy from the petroleum price things is not the same again. Some people have turned themself into executive beggars because their is no job opportunity in the country so people need to survive to cater for themself and their family.

What challenging situations have you faced in your country?

Every hosuehold in Nigeria experience this challenges except people who are rich and the corrupt politician. As a married man is not easy, I used to trekked to my place of work due to my inability to afford transport fare, although is not most of the time this happened in some cases when my pocket is dry.

Sometime I borrowed from close relative to settle some bill, when our salary is paid at the end of the month I will pay the person I borrow money from so tell me what remain again.

Despite these challenges, how do you survive/manage life?

I thank God for life, I live with my both parents they were the one who usually assist me financially. I used to complained to them a lot because they understand the economic situation of the country whenever our food stuff is finished in the house, on the next day my mother could just brought some raw food for my wife to cooked for the family.

In addition, My in-law does not left out they support my family in term of given us yam and other eatable items, so the little they gave me assist my family to survive during this trying period.

What lessons have you learned from the experiences you've had in your homeland/country?

The lesson I learned is to have plan B, that's to have another side hustle business that will give me an extra income to be able to take of myself and family. I am putting all my effort to achieve this target goal because everybody don't know where this country is going.

Another things I learned from this lesson is to assist poor people who doesn't have money to survive, because nobody no tomorrow they may be in high position to help when you are facing some challenges.

Conclusion

Citizens of the country need to pray for Nigeria because our economic is in the bridge to collapse. Price control is another major issue everybody just they sell goods at their own interest. I will like to invite @yancar, @bela90 and @svm038 to participate in this contest.
