Prominent Nigerian personalities, including comedian AY and reality TV star Phyna, have recently voiced their concerns about the increasing difficulties of living in Nigeria, particularly in light of the recent hike in passport processing fees.
AY shared his frustrations on social media, noting that life as a Nigerian "gets tougher and tougher by the minute." His sentiments reflect the widespread unease among citizens grappling with various socio-economic challenges in the country.
Phyna specifically criticized the recent increase in passport fees, questioning its justification given the global perception of the Nigerian passport. She pointed out that the elevated costs seem unjust when considering how Nigerian passport holders are often treated poorly in other countries.
She remarked, "Increasing the price of our passport, which, when you get to some countries, because of it, you’ll be treated like dirt… is what they are increasing… This country has fallen flat… Nothing good seems to be coming out at all."
The recent passport fee hike has ignited widespread dissatisfaction among Nigerians, who are already struggling with the high cost of living, inflation, and economic hardships. Many view this increase as yet another sign of government insensitivity to the struggles faced by its citizens.
The comments from AY and Phyna mirror the growing frustration among Nigerians, who are increasingly calling for better governance, enhanced economic opportunities, and overall improvement in living conditions.
