University of Lagos shuts down over fuel scarcity

 

I have been trying so hard to avoid this news because I am too angry to engage in any debate / conversation about my great country Nigeria. I honestly don't know why we have leaders in Nigeria. We should probably try doing without them.
Nigerians have been suffering for too long and I refuse to believe that nothing can be done about it. I am even more angered by the fact that we laugh about everything when we should be freaking mad and demanding accountability from these so called leaders. If a University is unable to function as a result of this fuel scarcity, my question is, what next? Maybe the whole country should shut down then.
I can only imagine the suffering going on in that country with the hike in the prices of everything that this would have caused. How do you even live on a minimum wage of N100K if you spend most, if not all of it, on just transportation? I better just stop now. I have been avoiding anything Nigeria for a while now but this one has been in my face the whole day and I just had to write about it. I hope that one day we will stop laughing and get really mad at everything because this suffering and smiling has become redundant now.
