In a video posted on his Instagram profile, popular socialite Yhemolee has raised concerns about the economic challenges in Nigeria, particularly the steep decline in the value of the naira against the dollar, reaching N1500. He pleaded for assistance and expressed distress over the country’s economic downturn.
In the video, Yhemolee lamented the hardships faced by Nigerians, emphasizing the country’s history of enduring challenges with a smile. However, he warned that there might come a point where the suffering becomes unbearable, and the smiles fade away.
The socialite highlighted the drastic change he witnessed, recalling a time when one dollar was equivalent to N320. Expressing frustration, he questioned the nation’s leaders about the economic situation and warned of potential unrest.
Yhemolee urged leaders to take action, questioning whether they were indifferent to the skyrocketing value of the naira, which he feared might reach N4000 to a dollar. In his distress, he mentioned contemplating going back home to his mother as he found it challenging to cope with the current economic conditions.
The video reflects the growing concerns and frustrations of many Nigerians grappling with economic hardships. Yhemolee’s public plea underscores the urgency of addressing economic challenges and calls for assistance to alleviate the suffering faced by citizens.
Captioning his video, he wrote: “Somebody save us 😭😭 abi we no be Gayant of Africa again? The regime brutal oh 😭 Lagos to London = 11,500,000m , if you carry woman 23,000,000m.”
