“No One Cooked in My Area”- Nigerian Man Decries Cost of Living During Easter

• A Nigerian man has gone viral after lamenting the absence of Easter celebrations in his neighbourhood, blaming rising fuel prices and economic hardship for the lack of cooking and festivity.

A Nigerian man has stirred conversations online after expressing frustration over the state of the economy during this year’s Easter celebration.

In a viral post, the man lamented the unusually quiet atmosphere in his neighbourhood, noting that the traditional festive cooking associated with Easter was absent.

“This is the first Easter I experienced that it’s not only me that didn’t cook. In the whole of my area, no one cooked, I didn’t perceive any food. Christ has risen today but the only thing rising in Nigeria is fuel price,” he said.

His statement highlights growing concerns among Nigerians over the rising cost of living, particularly the impact of increasing fuel prices on household expenses.

In other news…. Social media personality VeryDarkMan has sparked fresh reactions online following an exchange with human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju over the ongoing case involving businessman Linus Williams, popularly known as BLord.

In a conversation that has since gone viral, VeryDarkMan stated that he was willing to forgive BLord and withdraw the case under specific conditions.

“I will forgive BLord tonight and withdraw the case if you accept my conditions,” he said.

Responding, Deji Adeyanju questioned the terms, noting his prior efforts to mediate on BLord’s behalf.

“What are the conditions? You know I have been begging on his behalf,” Adeyanju asked.

VeryDarkMan then revealed his demand, which has since generated widespread reactions online.

“I want you to go online and shout, ‘I love APC and I love President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.’ But someone like that is not supposed to witness the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” he added.

The statement has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some describing it as humorous or unserious, while others criticised the introduction of political and religious references into the matter.
