@Emerytarah000: “I entered a car yesterday and as usual people started discussing the whole kidnapping situation in the country. Before we knew it the conversation shifted to politics, how Tinubu is basically a figurehead president, how nothing is working, and how it feels like the only thing happening in Aso Rock is the embezzlement of public funds for generational wealth.

“One man inside the bus said we Yorubas are ungrateful, that no matter how bad things get we are supposed to support the president blindly. He even added, “No be today dem dey kpai people,” like Nigerians being kidnapped and killed is something normal we should just accept.

“He did not know our driver was an Ilorin man.

“Next thing the driver quietly parked, told all of us to come down because he wanted to check something in the bus. Before we understood what was happening he unboarded the man, gave him back his money right there in a bushy environment, and drove off with the rest of us.

“Not a single person begged on his behalf. We all just kept quiet because this country has tired everybody.

“And honestly that moment summed up Nigeria perfectly. People are angry, frustrated, scared, and exhausted. Every day we hear of kidnappings, killings, inflation, joblessness, and a government that feels completely disconnected from the reality on ground.

“Everyone is just trying to survive and the empathy people used to have for each other is slowly disappearing because everyone is fighting their own battles.

“What happened today reminded me that Nigerians are on edge. We are living in a country where insecurity is normalised and hardship is now part of daily conversation. People do not even have the strength to argue anymore, survival has humbled everybody.” She narrated
