Remi pointed to the nation’s persistent traffic congestion as evidence of this resilience. The number of cars on the road remains high, indicating that people adapt and find ways to overcome economic challenges.
He said, “I have come to the conclusion that no matter how ridiculous it gets in Nigeria, we always still find ways to survive. Yesterday I bought fuel for N98, 000 to fill up my tank.”
“I have not recovered by the way, but I have realized that no matter how prices hike up, no matter what happens, you will always still see traffic, there will always be traffic. There is still times 10 the number of cars on the road. Fela sang it ‘suffering and smiling’
