More Nigerians are beginning to say it out loud, without shame or apology: life in Nigeria is getting harder to survive.
This is no longer a complaint limited to the unemployed or the poor. Salary earners, business owners, graduates, parents, and even professionals now share the same feeling — everything costs more, but income refuses to grow.
Across cities and towns, people say daily life has become a careful calculation. What to eat, where to go, what to postpone, and what to completely abandon. Simple things like fueling a car, paying rent, or buying groceries now come with anxiety.
Many Nigerians admit they have stopped planning long-term. Marriage plans are delayed, relocation is postponed, savings are touched, and emergencies are feared. People say they now live “day by day,” because tomorrow feels too uncertain to rely on.
What hurts most, according to many voices online, is not just the hardship, but the emotional exhaustion. The feeling that effort no longer brings comfort, and that hope keeps getting postponed.
For many, survival has replaced living.
