My people, e be like say the economy don carry us enter fourth mainland bridge — no GPS, no fuel, and pure water don pass N50! But as man wey don migrate from Lagos to Sydney, make I gist una how the economy dey run for Naija in 2025.
Na me, James Adeshola Chukwudi, your brother from Mushin to Melbourne, and today, I wan break am down for you like ogbono wey no wan draw.
📊 1. Inflation Don High Pass My Uncle’s Blood Pressure
As of March 2025, Nigeria inflation na 24.23%! Omo! That one mean say N500 rice last year fit don turn N800 this year. Food items dey do “shakara”, and pepper dey behave like it won join Hollywood.
📉 2. Naira Dey Find Who Go Dash Am Dollars
CBN don try devalue the naira to balance things, but e be like say e still dey look for GPS to stability. Exchange rate wahala mean say phone, laptop, even chewing gum price fit give you BP.
⛽ 3. Fuel Subsidy Don Pack Up — But Hope Still Dey
Wetin you call am? “Subsidy Removal.” Dem say na to save the economy, but as dem comot am, transport fare jump like akara wey enter hot oil. Danfo drivers dey vex, but we dey manage am.
🌽 4. Food Prices? E Be Like World Cup Final
From garri to bread, prices no dey smile. I go market for Christmas and tomato na N1500 for five pieces. I shout, “Oga, na land I wan buy?”
🔌 5. Light Bill? Nepa Don Shock Us
Dem increase electricity tariff for people wey dey use high current. If you get AC or freezer, prepare to donate salary. Government say e go reduce subsidy — but I still dey see candle for night.
⛏ 6. Mining Sector? E Still Dey Find Engine Oil
Nigeria sign agreement with South Africa to boost mining. Good move, but until we see gold turn to salary and road wey no get pothole, we go dey look with side-eye.
⛽ 7. Oil Money Dey Shake
Global oil prices don drop. Wetin dem plan say go be $75 per barrel don come down — meaning say federal pocket dey leak. Oya, make person help us sew am?
⚡ 8. Power Sector Dey Blow Fuse
We dey cut subsidy and increase tarrif, but we still dey hear “Up Nepa!” like national anthem. Imagine NEPA take light for your Zoom interview in Australia. I still dey recover.
💡 9. E Still Better to Plan Your Move
See ehn, all this one no mean make you run comot — but e mean say you gats plan. Whether na JAPA to Aussie or build better hustle at home, knowledge na power.
🌍 10. My Final Word?
Economy hard, but Naija people head no dey house. We go survive. If dem like make inflation reach 50%, we go still find pepper soup and laugh small.
“My people, make we no lose hope. Even in Australia, dem get economic wahala too. But e no bad make you dey wise, dey read, and dey plan. Whether you dey for Lagos or Sydney, your mind na your real passport.”
