Apparently, Nigerians have hot a local board now and you might want to move this thread over there.

That advice might be solid, but the situation in Nigeria (regardless of whatever factual errors OP made) is an economics topic, and I for one am always interested in hearing about what's going on in parts of the world that never get coverage on mainstream US news outlets, which is pretty much the rest of the globe unless there's some kind of war going on that might affect Americans. So I say keep this thread right here, and hopefully it'll be a decent discussion.

You can say anything about how crappy the banking services, are and how bad the timing is but to pin the death of a pregnant woman in a hospital on the banks is just stupid.

Yeah, I just saw another thread about Nigeria in which the death of the pregnant woman was brought up. It wasn't clear to me how the long ATM lines and her death were related, because her husband was, or could have been, standing in the queue instead of her. I wasn't even sure she was in that queue to begin with. In any case, I gave my opinion that it sounded like sensational journalism, trying to persuade the public that there were a rash of deaths because people didn't have immediate access to their cash. I seriously doubt that's the case.

Nothing much is going on in Nigeria. Economic issues and inflation are global problems it doesn't imply to one country alone. Nigerians just like other countries are facing such challenges and only a few persons can be able to hold their emotions without expressing them publicly. OP, is a typical example of such citizens with fear and lack of control. I don't see anything new happening in Nigerian that is not happing in other countries in the world. Death, rich and poor, fight for power, failed government with false promises, favoritism and so much more. We are humans and we bound by these humanitarian curses. Quote me wrong if any country is the best and have not faced these problems at all
