I can't just say I am tired of this country. Only someone who has little or no human feelings will have something to say about the present situation of this country. We are not trying to live but to survive.
I overheard a conversation from a set of elderly people and they were lamenting the condition they found themselves in. The poor fact about this was that a man among them kept on repeating the sentence “people are suffering” times without a number. And that's just the reality, only those who get a handful or a taste of it would know what it looks like.
The rate of inflation in the country has gone way beyond hyperinflation. I don't know the term to relate it with. Even though it's hard to get money, you will still be threatened to buy whatever you just priced instantly. If not, when you plan to buy next time you will have to double the price of what you have on you.
I can't say what's going on. But things are not going as normal as they should. There are measures to take against this inflation of a thing and the earlier the better.
A bakery not far from our residence, known and well patronized for its quality bread was threatened by the association of bakers. I don't know why they have to threaten him or the reason for the threat. But the owner of the bakery was asked to either increase the price of his bread and also reduce the size with immediate effect they would come and shut down his bakery
I wonder why someone or a group of people will just wake up one day and then start making decisions on their end. If there were active government policies and regulations for all of these then I don't think all these would be happening.
From my point of view, the bakery’s production is still profitable for him with the price and size of the bread he is producing, that's why he decided not to inflate the price.
There was a woman who already stocked goods for months now. All she does is pray for slight increments in the price of goods she has at hand, instantly adding up the extra cost to the initial cost price event at market price.
There was a time when we had to price a generator for use, we got to the store and priced it out at about 170,000. We have half of the funds to buy it at hand, so we should have bought it then. We went back home with the mindset of getting it again after about two months. We knew it would have added some price, so we budgeted about 190,000 for it. I was so sure it wouldn't have gotten above that price.
Not until we got back to that same store and priced the same generator again and was told it is now 250,000. I was surprised with the increments and then we were told if we don't buy it at the moment no one can tell what the price will be the next day.
Hopefully, there will be a solution to all of these someday. Even as a farmer the feed you buy today won't be the same piece the coming week. One thing I know for certain is that no matter how hard it looks people will always find a way to survive. We are hopeful to see light after the tunnel.
