Nigerians do too much to just survive. It’s how we are already making plans to adjust with the increment in fuel price. Our lives have turned into a cycle of Complaints and Adjustments. Meanwhile, these demons in government are playing it to their advantage. #FuelPriceHike

About the #FuelPriceHike eh, seriously, I have my personal pain.. Not just the Hike, but not to long ago the Nigerian government lead by General Muhammadu Buhari said they won’t increase fuel Price & that people were panic buying & Also hoarding, but we are here now! #ProjectNow
