It's an unending situation and not being able to flex one's financial capacity by affording what one truly need is a catastrophe, we're not far, from some of the apocalyptic features we see in movies, it makes me wonder, what the future of some African countries will be like, I'm sure Nigeria will be spearheading this futuristic state of redundancy.
Not just africa , even here in India we are facing similar problems though it might not be as much as that of African countries.
