Media personality Nedu has spoken about the rising cost of living in Nigeria, saying the economic situation is making it increasingly difficult for ordinary Nigerians to survive.
In a video shared online, Nedu said many Nigerians work hard and receive their salaries, but their earnings are quickly depleted by the rising cost of basic necessities.
He listed school fees, house rent, food, transportation, fuel and healthcare among the expenses putting increasing pressure on individuals and families.
Nedu also warned that the harsh economic conditions could push some people into desperate actions, including hurting or betraying others. He noted that such behaviour may not necessarily stem from being “born wicked”, but could be linked to the daily struggle to survive.
He further highlighted other challenges facing Nigerians, including insecurity, kidnapping, difficulties accessing healthcare and uncertainty about the future.
Despite these challenges, Nedu said Nigerians continue to wake up every day and strive to survive, urging people not to allow difficult economic conditions to make them lose their humanity.
He also called on those in positions of authority to create an economy where hard work can translate into a better quality of life, saying Nigerians deserve to provide for their families with less stress and have greater hope for the future.
