So recently, there's been inflation in my country. Even before the inflation, things were not right in my country. Before now, we all complained that there's hardship in the country. I mean, most people are poor. This is not because people are not working, but because the country is so fucked up. Even our minimum wage is nothing to write about; our minimum wage cannot cover us for a week, not to mention a month. Especially when you are a man. I keep wondering how men survive these situations.
I'm not saying women aren't affected by the economy, but I'm saying women have more privilege than men. I mean, even men find it so hard to help one another.
Now our present situation is so bad, and we did not see this coming. I mean, if you see any Nigerians, it is okay to give them a hug because they are finding it so hard to survive.
We can hardly afford to eat. Most people don't care about what they desire to eat but eat what is available to them. There won't be problems if there's enough money in circulation, but things are hard and there's no money in the country.
Now that all youths find it so hard to survive, most people go into fraudulent activities. Because honestly, sometimes I do not blame them; I blame the government for most of these things happening. Imagine a graduate who doesn't have any work to survive in the country.
It is so disheartening that you are a graduate and still learn good skills, but you are still poor in my country. In Nigeria, one person can have up to give skills and still find it hard to make it in life. For you to know how tight and frustrating our economic situation is.
This is where blockchain comes in. If I start explaining the benefits of blockchain in my country, then I will write five thousand words and still keep writing because, without blockchain, most of us will find it hard to make it or to even put food on the table.
Here are some benefits of blockchain in my country.
It's reduced the rate of poverty. So one good thing that blockchain does in my country is that it's reduced the poverty level in my country. There is no work in my country, and when you are done with education in my country, it doesn't mean you will see what will give you money. So blockchain saves a lot of lives, especially for the youth, because I'm also among them. Since I'm done with my service, the only option I've got is blockchain; there's no better pay. We just have to keep grinding. If not for blockchain, a lot would have gone wrong in my country.
Work opportunity: Blockchain gives people work opportunities. I mean, you don't need to be finding work up and down since you have knowledge of how blockchain works, and even the work you want to find isn't anywhere to be found.
Knowledge about crypto: furthermore Blockchain gives good knowledge about cryptocurrency because they both work hand in hand. I got to know more about crypto because of blockchain.
Transparency and freedom: unlike other work where you will not be free or be under one particular boss, blockchain is transparent; you will see the ins and outs of everything, and there is nothing hidden. Moreover, you don't need to be afraid of anyone; you are your own boss. Wake up at any time, work at any time, and do whatever you want at any time you want it.
More reasons to stay in the country: Last but not least, blockchain gives reasons to stay in the country. People leave the country purposely because they want to make it big, and the suffering is too much, but blockchain gives us hope and lets us understand that everything will be fine. I must say that without blockchain, there will be a lot of problems in my country.
As I said earlier, if I keep talking about the benefits of blockchain from now until tomorrow, I will not stop typing. Basically, blockchain is part of the reason we still live, because what puts food on your table is important to you.
Here is where I stopped. Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day.
