OPINION BY ISRAEL OJOKO: Trials of Nigerians before the elections | TheCable
We save and plan towards December, the end-of-the-year frenzy, the Christmas holidays, the travels, and all that. We give and receive gifts, we celebrate with family and friends, and we spend money, lots of money with little thought about what January brings.
But January 2023 has come with a special dose of life-threatening hardship, an unusual one thrown at Nigerians.

They always do.
I really do not know why things can’t be made easy by the Nigerian government for Nigerians, I wonder why people will have to suffer, stand in the sun, get stranded, and have their blood pressure spike before they can get things done.
