Popular comedian Ayodeji Richard Makun, fondly called AY, has expressed frustration over the increasing difficulties of being a Nigerian.
The father of two remarked that the challenges of living in Nigeria grow more intense with each passing minute.
In a post shared via his X account on the 22nd of August, 2024, AY wrote, “Being a Nigerian just gets tougher and tougher by the minute.”
In a related development, reality TV star Josephine Ijeoma Otabor, better known as Phyna, has also voiced her concerns about the recent hike in fees for the processing and acquisition of Nigerian passports.
She criticized the increase, arguing that it was unjustified given the limited respect the Nigerian passport holds internationally.
Via her X account, she wrote: “Increasing the price of our passport that when you get to some countries sef because of the passport you go be like who sh*t for body….is what they are increasing… Omo, this country does fall flat…. Nothing good seems to be coming out at all.”
