The cost of living want to unalive the living

*Since the current president of Nigeria ascended the throne, things have gone from bad to worse... Cars that sold for 4 million in 2021 now sell for 13 million Naira... This is the least of the problems because it is only people who have eaten to their satisfaction that would think of buying cars.*  [source](https://pixabay.com/photos/market-twilight-street-vegetables-5430564/) *A man without any dream who just wants to survive won't have it easy too because even that lifestyle is now very expensive because the basic needs of humans are costly... Food, rent, and other bills attached to the house are suffocating people now.* *I have mentioned how I was paying 500 Thousand Naira for a very small apartment in the Shomolu part of Lagos and I had no choice but to stay there because of schooling not until this year that the landlord increased the rent by 40% taking the rent to 700 000 Naira including service charges... I did not enjoy my stay in the house due to some factors.* - Poor ventilation - Poor Network Coverage - Leakage *These factors made the space so uncomfortable for me, I had to place my Router outside whenever I wanted to work, if there was no electricity, there would be darkness and I would be forced to either go outside or put on the rechargeable fan...* *Increasing the rent of such an apartment is absurd, moreover, I found the rent of that area too expensive that I have decided to move back to my former area where I am planning to secure a 3 bedroom flat for 600k, Imagine paying 600k for 3 bed and paying 700k for 1 room self, just see the difference.*  [source](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/market-marketplace-buying-fair-4856748/) *A lot of people are already moving to areas where rent is cheaper and I will be doing the same, the plot twist is that in the area I am moving to, some other people also find the rent expensive, so they are also leaving and moving to cheaper areas, this way civilization and development will happen in those rural areas too cos people are flooding there due to the high cost of living in the city.* *Many people are in pain since the government enforced the use of prepaid meters and also forcefully put some of us in Band A, from 2000 naira weekly, the amount I pay for electricity flies to 6k weekly! which sums the total to 24k monthly... Luckily the landlord brought more prepaid last year in December and two tenants were to share one prepaid meter which reduced the cost to 5k for two weeks but we need to manage it to make this possible or else it only lasts ten days.* *The least I spend in a day now is 5000 Naira and this is after having some foodstuffs at home, 2500 Naira meat is now very small, fish is not cheap either, as at 2 years ago when I moved into the area, I bought crates of eggs for 1900 naira but now it has increased to 5900!* *It is no longer about eating to satisfaction but eating to survive.*  **Just call me Burl.** *I am a professional gamer, motivational speaker and a crypto enthusiast* *Discord: burlarj* *Twitter id: burlarj1* *Telegram: burlarj* **God exists, I am a living testimony** **Giving up is not an option, every hustler has a payday** **Don't wish for it, Make it happen** **Only Love can heal a broken Heart**
