 As the ripple effects politics of the present administration of the all-progressive Congress, APC, and Nigeria continue to rattle many Nigerians, particularly low-income families. As for the correspondent, Aqemejiro Friday spoke with some doubters in Asaba state capital on how they are coping with the hardship. Mrs. Lothar Modi, a trader and a model 4 at Oguagonal Market, sells foodstuff. To have business as slow as the reality of things have brought changes to virtually everything including food. The culinary taste, vehicle movement and other lifestyles have changed, no thanks to the Naira float and subsidy removal policies of the government which have affected the prices of commodities in the market. If you say affect is an understatement, it is adversely killing Nigerians gradually. You see people wearing clothes and moving about, most of them are gone. BP and other illnesses have emitted from this instability in prices. You wake up every morning like my wife, you give her money to go to the market today, go and come back and say I couldn't buy anything today. So and the government is not employing, the government is not increasing salary, there is nothing that has been increased when it talks of your income. Right now Nigerians have been placed in a state of confusion, hopelessness and the future is very uncertain for a lot of Nigerians. So naturally as Nigerians we are very resilient people, that is why we have not started hearing of them, suicide and all that. We are resilient people but I must tell you we are not finding it easy. The inflation rate is at its peak. And the bad part of it all is that we are not doing transactions in Nigeria in dollars, no longer in Naira. So that is the reason why we are having this Naira deflation issue in this country. Every transaction you are doing now is equivalent to a dollar, it's all quantified in dollars. So for that reason, our Naira is really going down. In fact if you say floating, you see something that is floating, our Naira is deepened, is buried to the ground. We are very unfortunate in the battles in this country. We don't have a definite base of value in our currency. So the Naira today, it's not the same Naira tomorrow, but our Naira cannot compete favorably with other currencies of the world. It's unfortunate. Meanwhile we are supposed to be the giant of Africa but are we really giants or maybe we are sleeping giants. So we need to wake up and we need to do the necessary things and see how we can redefine ourselves as individuals. So the Naira float is for me, it's a question of having people dying in their own country. That I don't want to say that I'm happy with what's happening in the financial industry, particularly with the CBN. Okay, a lot of things were done without considering you and I and the decisions they took. They just took it at the bourgeois level, not thinking about what happens to all of us. And that's how we are. It is sad that the country, like Nigeria, where so much is available and the people are still suffering. So the only solution is for governments to think of alternative energy sources or in the interim, invest the savings so far relays from the subsidy remover to revamping the existing refineries in the country. Much that, because over 40% of our foreign asset demands goes to service importation of fuel. Now, if we're able to refine our local fuel consumption in Nigeria here, it means we'll eliminate that 40% forex pressure on the Naira. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
