Whether you believe it or not, you can’t live by money alone.

In my observation, while looking out for you and other fellow Nigerians, here are some essentials you probably need more than money this holiday.

Romance

Romance is sweeter with money but sweetest when you have nothing else to hold on to. Grab your partner and dream of a future where you can finally afford Detty December.

Good health

You shouldn’t have to be told this, but here we are. There’s no Christmas balling without sound health. Watch what you consume, look twice before you cross the road, spend quality time with family if you like them, and for Lagosians: stay indoors if you’re not ready to spend hours in traffic and looking for cabs. 

Direct supply of original products

We’ve apparently been buying counterfeit soy sauce, drugs, drinks, canned food, etc. You need to eat and use original products to keep good health. If you find out where to get these products, please inform us.

Time with loved ones

My dear brother and sister, a lonely Christmas and holiday benefits no one. Get yourself some company and loving, and make lasting memories money can never buy.

Work promotion

Think about it, promotion at work may come with bigger responsibilities, but your money goes up too. If you ask me, it’s better than a money gift that’ll finish in less than a week.

Job referrals

When people speak highly of your work and recommend you to your potential clients and employers, that’s something money can’t buy.

A personal ride

Specifically for Lagosians because your road network problems need divine intervention. In this surging transport fare issue, a personal ride is what you need most this December and beyond. Skateboard, bicycle, scooter, tricycle, motorcycle, motor car, trailer, whichever works for your budget. Work according to your budget. I wish you a safe ride.

An appointment on Tinubu’s cabinet

Tinubu’s government and friends are the only ones balling in Nigeria currently. What’s better than joining the ballers? Though the curses of agitated Nigerians won’t miss you too.

Relocation

An escape from this ghetto and being able to catch your breath from the wahala of corrupt government, insecurity, fake products, harsh economy and many other stressful things. Even though their currency is now better than ours, you can start with Benin Republic.
