  2. Please please pleas!!! This is too much for one to bare at this time, many things are going wrong and almost everyone seems to be asleep. The Price for PMS is too high what have resulted in the hike of food price, parents go panicking when they send their wife's to the market, no good job, no road, electricity, no water supply from the government. These are the necessities that government ought to provide for it's citizens. My faith in this Country is fading away. God please help Nigeria.
