Surviving 2023 in a nutshell, most of us who are living in 3rd world countries like Nigeria can attest to the fact that it was a hell of a year, Surviving is enough achievement for anyone living in Nigeria, we are all aware of the poor economic state of the country as at the beginning of the year but immediately after the election and swearing in of new government it was like all hell let loose and it lingered till the end of the year. Many people went ahead to still achieve their goals which is applaudable while some others struggled all through the year to just survive the year. for me, it was survival mode all through.
