Chef T Laments about Struggles of Many Nigerian Adults (Photos)

Nigerian chef Diary Of a Kitchen Lover popularly known as Chef T is venting her frustrations about the state of Nigeria and the hardships that so many people are going through. In a 4 page upload Chef T made on social media, she spoke about how adults these days are only focused on surviving and providing food for their homes, so focused on getting the basics that there's no room left for anything else like vacation or investment, or any of the likes. It is a grim picture she paints but the reality of many, and so many people are resonating with her words. Here's what Diary of a Kitchen Lover had to say.

Taking to her social media, Diary of a Kitchen Lover wrote saying:

DIARY OF A KITCHEN LOVER: But for how long will ADULTS only be able to afford food? There are other things that make adulthood fun, like having investments, properties, accessible cash to travel anywhere, active insurance covers, giving kids the best education, taking care of family and living life on your own terms.

In Nigeria, many adults are only able to put food on the table, every other thing that seem basic in some other countries are like luxury in Nigeria cause tell me why owning a car is counted as luxury???

What does the future of nigeria hold for our children if adults are going through this already? Adults can't have what the “need” what the wish is even far fetched! Its hard to be patriotic in a country like Nigeria! It's REALLY HARD!

Now the “luxury” of food wants to be taken away? Which way NIGERIA!!!

So many talents are wasting away in Nigeria. We channel our focus in hustling for basic things instead of putting in the energy into things that will make us live life of ease.

Our mates are achieving successes with ease all over the world but many of us are here fighting for our lives while struggling to buy fuel, turn on the gen, bus conductor wahala,

HUNGER!

NO JOBS!!!!!!

It was like this many years ago and yea! It's worse now! What does the future hold?

Many people’s progress have been stalled because of these issues. No progress, just on a survival mode. Almighty God please give us a life of ease. Please.

And then you see people angry for no reason but you know, THERE'S ACTUALLY A REASON! HARDSHIP!

No matter how comfortable you are in Nigeria, E GO STILL HIT YOU! Wo! Goodnight!
