‘Diesel of N164 now N800’ — CDQ laments cost of living in Nigeria

Sodiq Yusuf, the Nigerian rapper better known as CDQ, has bemoaned the high cost of living in Nigeria.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, the ‘Agba Picker’ crooner lamented that the economic hardship in Nigeria continues to get worse for the masses on daily basis.

CDQ said the minimum wages have remained stagnant while the currency continues to depreciate.

The hip-hop artiste also tackled the federal government while wondering if those in power have “heart and conscience”.

The only question is : How did we get here 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ what happened to our currency that it got so depreciated even below Ghana cedis. where are the developments all the money borrowed spent on. all these people ruling us do they have heart and conscience atall? Are they really human🤦‍♂️
