It's just terrible... Living in Ukraine is also very expensive compared to wages. Things are going much better than in Nigeria but still not good for a comfortable and stable life.
We have very small pensions, my grandmother worked in a kindergarten as a teacher and her pension is 2100 UAH - 175.22 STEEM. If it weren't for the bulldozer's grandfather's pension of 7,000 UAH - 584.07 STEEM, it would simply be impossible for her to survive. Only communal services for gas, water, light, heating, she gave almost the entire pension, not to mention medicine, clothes. Our pensioners who have worked all their lives receive just pennies.
We have an interesting TV program "the world upside down" and there, when pensioners from various European or Asian countries found out, they were simply shocked by our pension, because it is at least 10 times lower than theirs.
It is easier for the younger generation, because the government willingly pays for work. And the government does not consider it necessary to pay pensioners good money for the fact that they worked all their lives for the good of the country.
The reason for this is corruption and war.
I believe that we will cope with the war and will be able to take the next step in the fight against corruption. Thanks for the good question my Nigerian friend.🙏
Almost the same thing here. And as for the pension here.., I forgot to mention that sometimes people here would have to struggle to get pension for many years before it is approved while some don't even get it at all. Sometimes, the government owe them for many years. Most retired civil servants get old and died without seeing their pension.
Also, over here we don't have free medical bills, wether that person is a governement worker or not. The person must pay for all their bills.
I purposefully did not want to mention war because the text would have been long 😀. But here we have Insurgency which has been disturbing some parts of Nigeria for many years now even before the war in your country.
Maybe, you can google about boko haram, fulani herdsmen, Ipob, esn. Apart from that we also have inter states conflicts...etc.
I think your country is also going through it's own hard time just like Nigeria.
But would you say ours is better or more preferable?
Thank you for your feedback.
