Happy New Month Inland Town

This year has been a heaven of a year ( as we must always remain positive speakers ) that is the energy.

On the flip side, 2020 has been a year of twos. Like we say locally ā€ evritin na dobul dobulā€. We cannot forget in a hurry the nightmares of the Covid 19 spread followed by the #lockdown around March and the #endsars protest in October.

As if the koboko of lockdown was not enough, we got painfully massaged by both increased power tariffs and premium motor spirit increments.

When I hear beer is sold at pump price, it makes me think of discounts. Naturally, any pump price increase generates a sporadic increase in the price tag of other essential products.

I was part of a recent round table discussion, with Ikeja Electric. We had complained about the incessant power failure and pushed for infrastructure upgrades, as well as a stay of action on an imminent tariff increase.

We were informed that the dollar has been on the rise against naira, to which someone commentedā€œnotin wey Musa no go see for gateā€ It begs the question, what concerns Naira with Dollar, are they married?

Anyway that is what happens in a consumption fueled economy like Nigeria.

This is a brand new month and we are grateful for pushing through the thorns. The only way forward is to keep pushing, even when todayā€™s Naija Government is unresponsive to our plight.

Let us be the change we want to see, and make better lives for ourselves. Iā€™m reminded of this powerful quote; ā€œIf not now, when? if not us, who?ā€

Story for the gods!

Happy new month of DECEMBER

InlandTown! 2020.
