One Picture and One Story #53

I have been away for some days because of exams and our exams are still going on, I just came back home from school today as I will be returning on Monday next week, I will love to be more active again in this coming days like the weekend, before going back to school. I want to begin participating in this contest that's not really difficult and I thank @suboohi for organizing this contest.

I will be talking about the dirty experience Nigerians got last year February till April, something bad happened in my country and it claimed alot of lives, I was really sad about the things that were happening. It was our election period and we really need good leaders that can put the country in a good state, we suffered alot from our former president, Muhammadu Buhari, his government made things difficult in the country as the price of everything got high.

People couldn't buy cheap things again, he's also a military man and one positive thing about his tenure was that Boko Haram threat was lesser that period, alot of people used to get killed and kidnapped before his tenure but he ensured that the security aspect of our country is very strong and active so as they allow citizens to stop living in fear but price of things were still high.

We now needed someone better but we got very oppressed during last year election period, an announcement was made that the country's currency should be changed and the old one will no longer be accepted anywhere in the country. Instructions were now made to enable everyone to successfully deposit all their cash in the bank and get the new one in the next few days.

The new currency came out but the old one is more beautiful than it. Up till now most of us are still wondering why our currencies were changed we saw it as a very unnecessary thing. During the period when we deposited our cash to the back, hunger increased because we tried to withdraw the new money in the bank but bankers were saying new cash is unavailable, people got furious and began to burn banks.

People couldn't withdraw their money in the bank so that they can spend it on feeding. People doing POS were able to get easy access from bankers because they have connections and they got alot of cash. This made people to forget about banks and start withdrawing their money through POS business owners. The people saw that large amount of people are patronizing them so they decided to increase the charge to withdraw money from them.

Alot really happened and I will love to continue the other part of the story next week, my intention is to enlighten more steemians who aren't Nigerians so that they can be aware of what we experienced. I also intend to use it as an opportunity to remind my fellow Nigerians of what we experienced in the hands of our government early last year and we should ensure that we pray for our country always.
