Widow laments over hike in fuel price

Overwhelmed by frustration and grief, she broke down in tears in a call with NigeriaInfoFM, lamenting her inability to afford transportation for herself and her son.

The sad post showed the widow’s distressing situation, emphasising the human impact of the economic hardship in the nation.

“Even when fuel was at N980, as a widow I couldn’t afford the transportation for my son to get to school and now they’re increasing it. What are we going to do? My son cannot even go to school,” she lamented.

Reactions trail widow’s plight

Nigerians sympathised with the widow’s plight, joining her in lamenting the country’s dire situation.

St Collins said:

“The deaf ears towards the tears and suffering of Nigerians by the Govt is so callous!”

Tomi said:

“Mr. Sherif this is Tomi from Canada please how can I send something to this woman?”

FitJoe44 said:

“There’s no need to feel sorry for Nigerians, we must learn the hard way. Nigerians were enjoying during GEJ and that’s why they had the strength to protest against fuel subsidy removal until it was reversed, now I guess people are too hungry not to even think about a protest.”

Aluka added:

“People are really passing through the most difficult hardship in the history of this country. A friend messaged me on WhatsApp & ask me to assist him with money to buy drugs as they now pay them bi-weekly rather than daily. Thursday last week I saw RIP on his Facebook wall.”
