According to Oga Rotimi, him dey expect say Naija youths supposed dey protest, make noise, and demand for change because of dis economic.

Him talk say: “I dey expect say pipo go dey para, dey shout, dey protest, but I no dey see anything.

Di economic situation dey bad, prices dey rise, pipo dey suffer, but dem no dey react.”

Oga Rotimi dey wonder why Naija pipo dem no dey show concern, why dem no dey demand accountability for di government, and why dem no dey fight for dia rights.

Him yarn say: “Wetin dey happen? Abi Naijans don dey sleep? Dem no dey care about dia future?”

Wetin dey happen for Naija now be say, pipo no dey get money, no dey get work, and di cost of living dey rise every day.

So, oga dey ask, wetin bi di point of di campaign, when pipo dey suffer?

Right now, Edo State dey face plenty katakata, like bad roads, lack of electricity, and water scarcity.

And di politicians dey fight ova power instead of make dem dey work togeda to solve di problems.

Di former minister of transportation wan dem to put di pipo first and tink about di future of di state, no bi to just dey win elections.

Him talk say if dem no change dia ways, di state go suffer more.

Him com talk say even di cost of essential tins like fuel don dey rise well-well, and e don dey affect even politicians and big men wey dey hold power.

Di situation dey hard, and even dem wey get money dey feel am too.

Him talk say di prices of fuel and other tins dey rise because of di global economic problems, and e dey affect many countries.

Di International Monetary Fund (IMF) don even talk about am, say make countries dey allow make international prices dey pass through di domestic prices, while protecting households wey no get money.

“You see, di cost of diesel don exceed N1,700 per litre, and dis one dey affect many businesses for Naija, especially dose wey depend on diesel to dey operate.

Di rise for di diesel price dey caused by many tins, even di global crude oil price wey dey increase, di weak naira, and di fact say Naija dey import most of its refined petroleum products.

But, oga Rotimi yarn say him hope say di government go fit do somting to take help di situation, especially for di common man wey dey suffer pass.

Because e dey dey hard to survive for Naija now, as di cost of living don dey high pass pipo’s income, and inflation, unemployment, and oda economic wahala dey make life tough for everybody.

Rotimi dey talk say, young pipo no dey take interest in politics and di way tins dey go for di country.

Dem no dey vote, dem no dey participate in di decision-making process, and dem no dey hold di leaders accountable.

Though small groups of pipo dey show say dem no dey happy wit di high cost of living, di protests against am no dey popular well-well as e suppose bi.
