Love and respect to Ukraine from Nigeria 👍 I pray you guys win. I have met only a few Ukrainians but they were some of the best people I hung out with. Plus, Russia is not known for a good reputation here due to how they helped topple democracies in the Sahel and are now spreading insecurity.

@DeGeneral_01 yes, socioeconomic hardship has increased here but do you know why this happened? Because our previous governments kept increasing our debt for useless subsidies that were draining our GDP and also led to embezzlement and corruption. it was unsustainable and our current government ended them this year. The hardships are temporary and with the economic reforms we are doing, things are gradually improving.

@DeGeneral_01 I know things are hard but let's not stop being objective. It was expected. We couldn't continue with the subidies since our debt was getting so bad. We would have gone bankrupt as a nation. I wish the reforms came earlier when our economy was stronger but the previous governments refused to it. Also, there are positives like our debt going down from 90% to around 60%. Access to loans and credit has improved. Refineries are actually operating again. Insecurity has been declining. Things are still hard but getting better.
