Lamenting about the current state of the nation, Iyabo Ojo spoke candidly saying:

IYABO OJO: It is not only the government, we all have a hand in making this country a better place. I do not believe in running away from my country. I believe that we all need to come together to make this country a better place. I am going to keep saying how I feel. I do not care whose ego gets bruised or who feels a way, cuz for this last election, I lost a lot of friends. What it is we were fighting for is happening today. We are all suffering it right now.

The price of dollar rates and everything, though in a way the dollar rates they favor me because of YouTube, but at the same time, it is bad cuz you have to think about it all around. It is terrible. Naira no get value again, it is crazy. And the T-pain, it is t-paining everybody honestly. T paining everybody. Everybody is suffering it but like they say they would do something let's keep watching and hoping that they do right by us. You never can tell, it can just happen at any point in time. But right now, we are not in a good place as a nation.

50 thousand, every two three days. 50 is what we used to manage for one month before. One month became 2 weeks. 2 weeks now has now become 3 days, 2 days if we manage the light. Because I have an inverter, it will enter 4 days. 50,000! We are all suffering it now oh
