Happy weekend friends, hope your week is going better than mine? On a daily basis I weak up to notice that the price of what I bought yesterday is different in price when I want to buy same thing today. Just last week I went to buy this big detergent so I could wash some clothes, getting to the shop there was a whole 500 naira increase. Like I was so shocked, what the vendor could say is, is like you don't buy house things? I just looked at him and smiled. When my husband came home I told him, he said the price increased but not up to that. This vendor because he is close to the house always exploit people unnecessarily and that's so bad.

Imagine by this time last year grains are sort of cheap, for instance beans goes for about 500 naira for each mud but now beans is 1600 naira for each mud and it is so alarming. Going to the market a times is so alloying because the money a times don't measure up to want is needed at home. Some times when I return I begin to look for what I used the money for with the feeling that I was cheated but after my calculations I will see that the money was accurately spent by me.

Some times past I was relating with our best man during during our wedding to have an idea of how the cost of things are in his state because he relocated to Scotland, only the cost of transportation in one day is enough to feed my family for three days. I asked about his house rent, I also saw that it is so high that can build the kind of house I want in just 5 months. The cost of leaving in Scotland is so high, but one good thing about it is that he is making the money even more.

Now asking him how he try to manage the whole situation, he told me he is working and the pay is per hour, the currency that is used there is Euro, so he makes the money that will be enough for him for a month in less than 2 weeks and have some savings too. You know the mentality of some of my country people, that anyone that travels out is well already, so he said he has a list of people who expect a lot of him. Ranging from family members to his friends everyone now depends on him for assistance. That sounds strange because I look at him that he needs to settle down and start a family of his own but many are not looking towards that direction.

Looking at my present earnings for a month, it will not be able to foot my bills if it's the same thing I will earn in Scotland, certainly there is going to be an improvement for me to be able to meet up with the needs.

If everything is in other, I will like to go an experience the life outside my country. In my country it is only a few states that I have not traveled to, I will like to see how things are done in other nations of the world not only what I see in movies or the story am told. I am so sure that when I get there I will get to lay my hands on some jobs that will help me pay some bills and have something left too. Many countries of the world already have a working system that you just need to login your details and the kind of job you are searching for. Some countries even need more people because they are under staffed.

Gaining more experience will help one to appreciate what he has better or seek for ways to improve on it. My country is good because, I am sure that there are levels of freedom I experience here that I will not be able to experience such other places coupled with the fact that in my country I can give birth to ten children without being questioned while in most of these countries I am not permitted to give birth to more than two kids.....

Thank you for showing up in my blog today and for your support all these while. Do enjoy your weekend. My response to the hive learners contest week #108 edition 3.
