BBNaija star Doyin: “I’ve Heard About Hardship, But I Haven’t Personally Experienced It.”

Doyin, a two-time participant on Big Brother Naija (BBNaija), has stated that she hasn’t really experienced Nigeria’s economic suffering; instead, she has just heard about it.

During an interview with Olufemi Daniel, a video jockey, Doyin expressed her empathy towards Nigerians.

She said; “I am the most detached Nigerian you can ever meet. I don’t even know what is happening. I don’t know the price of anything. I don’t go to the market. I send my chef and they don’t tell me what the price is.

“I hear there’s hardship in the country and I sympathise with Nigerians. I’m sure that it’s tough. I know because wigs are more expensive. Makeup, nails, cars, houses, everything is more expensive. Those things I know. But I’m not really into tomatoes.. I’m sure food is expensive.

“It’s sad because people are suffering, I’m sure because we see things on social media. I also went to the market one time at Ogba, and I cried that day because I saw how people were suffering. People were reacting to N50,000 like it was N5 million. That shows how badly people are suffering.

“It’s very sad. We hope that we’ll have a country one day where the average Nigerian can at least feed. That should be the basics. But we are not there yet. I hope we get there one day. I don’t want to talk about politics because I don’t really know much about politics.

“I just think Nigeria is a shithole with this kind of leadership. The issue is that the people that are obligated to care about us don’t care about us.

“I don’t know that there would be a solution anytime soon. So I tell people do your best to fend for yourself and family and if you have the opportunity to relocate abroad, do.”

The truth is, we all face hardships of some kind, and you never know the struggles a person is going through. May God help us all.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️

“A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.”
