E Dey Pain Everybody! Prices Up, Belle Down
“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”
Haile Selassie I
(Former Emperor of Ethiopia – 1930 to 1974)
Dear Active Citizen,
When container land port, even Jona go know the import cost. Petrol price increase scatter calculations. Market people just dey load invoice like Bola Tinubu campaign promises. Everything inflate pass balloon! Small salary wey never reach before don finally vanish before appearing again 😭.
And labor leaders have called a nationwide strike in 14 days over government failing agreements that could ease this hardship vortex somewhat. Yet even such strike move draws public skepticism - Na so so labour union threats without action. But nobody fit sleep hungry for too long.
We must not let cynicism deter personal activism. For any individuals and groups planning lawful civic action, we are here to help - with drafting messages, finding public platforms and keeping spirits high even in face of intimidation. This work cannot fall onto one person alone.
Contact information for all elected officials is also available at shineyoureye.org to make direct demands from the representatives you voted into office.
Flood their inboxes!
Help Us Document Nigerians Missing!
Nigerians are reported missing daily. But most often, there are no records of these missing people, it is our mandate to document these records and make it easy to find those who are lost and missing.
If you know someone missing, please report at governi.ng.
Stay safe this weekend.
The EiE Nigeria Team.
