What poor masses are passing through in Nigeria is simply hellish and these set of leaders remains careless

People will get close to you when you have things to offer, as soon as you don't have again they'll run away 'JAPA' including some of family members.

This is not about APC OR any party. D truth is....how close are u to friends, relatives & neighbours. Town is hard & a lot is happening to people. The best we all can do is to have eyes that see need to help & mouth that ask questions. When we see d need then try to help anyone

Lapo...

The government that enjoy most atrocities without any resistance in Nigeria's history is Buhari's government. Even the most powerful can't even utter opinion and the poor even accept and validate their sufferings as normal. Military rule in Nigeria was better yet we protested.

Sad 😔

asemota fccpcnigeria please look into this and penalize lenders who employ dehumanizing and degrading loan recovery tactics... it's not only loan apps.

That's the way it has been for nigerians for the past eight years 😰😨,too sad 😭 and very unfortunate .

That show how the zoo country is working for the believer's of the 419 country Nigeria

Nigeria will happen to you if you vote APC. The blood of the innocent is on that party.

It hurts when you don't have and help isn't coming even from people that could have ordinarily help out for God's sake

She did her own first....who knows when mine is up

Even if it is 100 millions she shouldn't have burn herself to death because of ordinary 70,000, God please help Nigerians

And politicians are seeing those suffering yet they stashed billions of naira in their vaults. God please let Peter obi happen to Nigeria

Nigerians have been driven to the brinks through economic hardship, we never used to be suicidal.

And some people go still vote this APC again

The depression fxking is real.

Hunger in the land.
