Now that petrol subsidy is removed in Nigeria, there isn’t much traffic. My sister went to Victoria Island in the morning at 8am.

Usually if you’re going to go to that place from where I live, you have to leave home latest at 6am in order to make there at 9am.

If you leave at 8am you’d be stuck is such terrible traffic that you’d end up getting to your destination at 11am.

But my sister left at 8am and got there a 9am.

You might think that it’s a good thing, but that tells a lot about people’s response to current economic situation.

We did that 2 years or so ago, it helped with the traffic at first, but now people got used to the high prices, and this year I'm seeing traffic like never before!

Oh my! I guess that’ll be the future here soon. 😔

I hope not, coz everything got dollarized here, so sadly people got adapted :(

What do you mean by “everything got dollarized”?

I mean that everything have to be payed in Dollars now and not our local currency

Wow! So another country’s currency is your country’s “legal tender” because your country’s currency has little value?😢

Well, sadly yes, but for government stuff and lets say electricity bills and so on are payed in our local currency (but with a high inflated price).

But everything else like food, clothes, supermarkets etc... in Dollars
