This government wants her citizens to die of hunger, if not they would have find solution to it, this is too bad.
They should find lasting solution to what is on ground because this situation is getting out of hand, they should pity us.
The pain we are going through right now is beyond explanation, if to open the bother will solve the issue the government should go ahead.
Incessant increment in food commodities in Nigeria nowadays should be declared as state of emergency because it’s now become unbearable for us.
This is not good at all…the hike in commodities are alarming.

Everything in the market is highly expensive and the people are complaining bitterly
