ShitHole things: the story is not different in any other country— just like Ghanaians are having their own share of the hardships, bad road, poor healthcare, unemployment amongst others, our friends in Nigeria are faced with similarly, such struggles.

His full post read; “It’s been over two months since Nigeria’s general elections and the tension that is borne out of vigorous political campaigns and a tussle for power has died down.

As it appears, saving up enough money to exit the country has now become the Nigerian dream. It has been said that the country loses a worrisome number of doctors to the UK, US and Canada every year and what’s worse is that the Nigerian healthcare system is in dire need of doctors.”

On days when I can’t afford special security, what becomes my fate? Do I have to commute by public transport, put away the devices that serve as tools for my everyday dealings or cut my hair in a bid to feel safe?”
