He noted that the challenges of Nigerian life seem to intensify with each passing moment.

In a post on his X account, AY stated, "Being a Nigerian just gets tougher and tougher by the minute."

In a related development, reality TV personality Josephine Ijeoma Otabor, known as Phyna, has voiced her concerns over the recent hike in fees for obtaining and processing Nigerian passports.
