Popular media personality Nedu Wazobia has raised concerns over the rising cost of living in Nigeria, describing survival as a daily struggle for many citizens.
In a recent video, Nedu highlighted the increasing cost of essential needs, including school fees, house rent, food, transportation, fuel and healthcare.
He said the financial pressure is affecting even Nigerians who earn regular salaries, making it increasingly difficult for many households to meet their basic needs.
According to Nedu, the economic hardship has also pushed some people into actions they never imagined they would take in an effort to survive.
“People are doing things they never imagined they would do, hurting people, betraying people, cutting corners, not necessarily because they were born wicked but because survival has become a daily battle in this country,” he said.
The media personality called for an economy where hard work can provide greater financial stability for ordinary Nigerians and allow parents to meet their children’s needs without overwhelming pressure.
“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 a little less fear and a little more hope. At least we deserve that,” he said.
Nedu’s comments come amid ongoing public concerns about the rising cost of basic goods and services and the financial pressure facing households across the country.
