Thanks @Terganftp! It's unfortunate that the world took this path. The global unrest and conflicts here and there since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic is largely responsible for all these. But the leaders choose unrest, and we cannot change a lot about it.
While the issue of inflation is currently a global one, it bites harder here in Nigeria where getting a job (just a job and not even a good one necessarily) is almost impossible. But we keep pushing, thanks for Hive which has been helping in its little ways.
In many ways Canada is opposite but still having problems. Here food is still affordable but having a place to live is almost impossible. A small apartment will cost just over 1 Million Naira per month and a minimum wage job isn't nearly enough to pay that amount. So we can buy food but have no place to cook or eat it.
Also there are many jobs here with no-one to fill them. I want to retire and my job has been posted for two months now and we haven't even had one person apply for the job.
Different problems to be sure but life isn't easy anywhere.
This is so true. Every society with its own unique challenges. An average Nigerian doesn't have up to a million naira in their account, but its funny that's what people pay monthly over there.
Nice talking with you.
They did a survey of Canadians and less than half of Canadians could find $200 (60,000 Naira) for an emergency. Many things are expensive here and many people have very little in reserve for emergencies.
From what I hear that statement rings true in many places, not just Canada.
and pleasure talking with you as well.
Side note: I notice in your bio that you are (a) a biologist and (b) love food. Might have some posts coming up that I'd love your feedback on. 1. about water purity and drinking water (need biologist point of view) and 2. about basic nutrition and staple foods (need food lover point of view)
We can collaborate on it, it will be a privilege. Just tag me on it or reach out on Discord if you feel the need.

Discord would be changing usernaming scheme soon, when that happens, we'll know the path to thread.
I'll absolutely tag you. Or my second option is to send direct message through Hive. I'm not a fan of Discord.
I have a strong grasp of nutrition and microbiology. However, I also have unusual thoughts on a better lifestyle.... So.... I'll be counting on you to fact check me on whether my ideas are good or garbage.
I take negative criticism well.... just be kind when you say I'm crazy 😉
Lol. I'll be kind.
Is sending messages through Hive a thing? Sounds interesting. I always use Ecency frontend, I've not seen that option.
I'll send you one and see if you notice :)
