Controversial media personality, Nedu Wazobia, has said survival has become a daily battle in Nigeria amid the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
Nedu made the remarks in a video while speaking about the rising cost of basic necessities, including school fees, house rent, food, transportation, fuel and healthcare.
He said Nigerians often receive their salaries only to see the money disappear quickly because of the financial demands they face.
According to him, the economic pressure is also pushing some people into desperate actions.
“People are doing things they never imagined they will do, hurting people, betraying people, cutting corners, not necessarily because they were born wicked but because survival has become a daily battle in this our country,” Nedu said.
He said Nigerians are not asking for miracles but want an economy where hard work can provide a decent living.
“We just want an economy where working hard can actually mean something, where a parent can provide for their children without stress and where ordinary Nigerians can wake up tomorrow with little less fear and a little more hope. At least we deserve that,” he added.
