According to the media personality, the challenge goes beyond unemployment, as many people who earn regular salaries are also struggling to meet their basic needs.
From school fees and house rent to food, transportation, fuel, and healthcare, Nedu said the cost of living has continued to put pressure on Nigerians.
But his biggest concern was what the pressure could make people do.
Nedu said some Nigerians are now taking actions they never imagined they would.
“People are doing things they never imagined they would do, hurting people, betraying people, cutting corners,” he said.
He argued that such actions are not necessarily because people were born wicked, but because survival has become increasingly difficult.
Nedu calls for a better economy
The ex-OAP said Nigerians deserve an economy where hard work can translate into a meaningful standard of living.
He also expressed hope for a society where parents can provide for their children without constant financial anxiety.
“At least we deserve that,” he said, calling for an economy that gives ordinary Nigerians less fear and more hope.
