Popular comedian Ayodeji Richard Makun, widely known as AY, has expressed his frustration with the increasing challenges of being a Nigerian. On his X handle on Thursday, AY lamented, "Being a Nigerian just gets tougher and tougher by minutes."
In a related development, reality TV star Josephine Ijeoma Otabor, also known as Phyna, criticized the recent increase in fees for obtaining Nigerian passports. She argued that the price hike is unjustified, given the lack of global respect for the Nigerian passport. On her X handle, Phyna wrote: "Increasing the price of our passport that when you get to some countries sef because of the passport you go be like who sh*t for body… is what they are increasing… Omo this country don fall flat…. Nothing good seems to be coming out at all."
