Lagos Chronicles: Surviving the Price Hikes and Pot Holes

Everything just dey weak me nowadays😪

I think Lagos is starting to drain every part of me. I wanted to buy a product for my hair and the lady said 3k. Ah!😭 What I bought for 1200 in December🙆🏽‍♀️. Even a crate of eggs is now 5k💔… I wash my hands off Tinubu’s case☹.

Dear Gheniens, is there space😭? I’ll manage abeg.

Hey guys, how are you doing this fine day and how was your week? I’ll go first. My week was mentally draining and I don’t think I’m doing fine at allll. Someone buy me ice cream before Ramadan😗 *blows powderr..*. How’s Nigeria been to you? I heard that this hardship is temporary, but mehn, I think it’s gonna last till I eventually slip to Ghana🤭, cos this country is showing me 100 shades of shege😭.

On the topic of Ramadan… My fellow Muslims, how’s prep🤩? I’ve been preparing ever so slowly. Ramadan’s my favorite month and all, but it’s hard to believe that it starts in just a week😪. I ate chicken pie and ice cream for 5 days straight this week. How I wan cope😂😂. On a more serious note, I’ve paused my Spotify and Netflix subscriptions💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. I also started deleting social media. I’m thinking of deleting my bank app too. Make person no too spend this Ramadan🤲🏽. If you haven’t started preparing, hurry up o, time is going. 🌹اَللّهُمَّ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَان

Something even tells me that this Ramadan won’t Ramadan like the previous Ramadans Ramadanned😪.

What’s your take on Oshodi in general? I feel it’s a very annoying and stupid place. Unfortunately, I have to pass that godforsaken place 4 times a week, because that’s where Lagos State decided to build the BRT bus terminal closest to me😪. You’re prolly wondering why I don’t jejely use Danfo like the rest of Nigerians. Well, my last experience in a yellow bus was ghastly. Long story short, the driver’s brakes failed. I’m not dead sha🙂.

Tinubu came to Lagos on Thursday. How I wished he’d go through Oshodi and see his country small. Unfortunately, his program was in Ikeja. He was commissioning the Lagos rail red line. You would have heard, it was all over the news. Unluckily, I wasn’t able to see him☹.
In case you have his contact sha, kindly give it to me. E get one or two, wey I go like follow am yarn🙂.

Wellll, my week at least ended on a good note🙃. I finally got selected for the FG’s 3MTT program (one of the few good things in this nation) after waiting for so longg😑.

Have fun this week.

Not too much fun abeg. At least not in this economy😙.
