      When was the last time you saw a 5 naira, 10 naira, or even 50 naira note? It has probably been a while, right? But why is that? The scarcity and devaluation of the naira have made life increasingly difficult for many Nigerians. In recent months, people across the country have struggled to get lower-denomination naira notes, from 5 naira to even 100 naira, which was essential for everyday transactions like buying food and paying transport fares. Now, these notes are vanishing from circulation. Why are they disappearing?

      You are married to a soldier with whom you’ve built a life and raised six children. Then, one day, he is deployed to war and never returns. Years later, as insurgency threats start to surface in your city, your son steps on a bomb that explodes. You’re uncertain whether he will survive, and you rush him to a hospital in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, hoping to give him a fighting chance. A decade later, you still cannot return home. The insurgency remains relentless. Now, you are being evicted from the settlement camp where you’ve stayed for years. What do you do? Where do you go?

      Quotes

        Hassan Mohammed

        “We are not civil servants. We are not businessmen. During the rainy season, you would not see us here. We will all be cultivating on our farms. But this is our only option once the dry season comes.”

        Hafsatu Usman

        “We were treated like animals, even lower than animals because at least animals can roam about in freedom… It would be good for them to stop that beating. They stopped it for a few years, but shortly before we were released, they resumed it.”

        Kellu

        “My three sons and my six grandchildren were all taken away, and we don’t know why. We are all innocent, but they carried all our men, leaving us with nothing.”

        Rawa Ali

        “I decided to leave Boko Haram when I heard the governor’s lecture on the radio urging us to repent. He promised to forgive us, stating that violence was not the solution and that we needed to stop and repent. He also promised to provide us with the means to earn a livelihood, including vocational training, startup capital, and reintegration support.”

        Yakaka

        “I vowed to kill her. And I did. Now you can do whatever it is that you want to do. I have dug her grave. You can bury her by 9 a.m. tomorrow,” Yakaka remembers Awana saying to her before exiting the place.

        Michael Chigozie

        “The agent has sold me to another trafficker who appears a bit caring and more considerate, but I want to return to Nigeria. I’m tired of suffering here.”

        Chikamso

        “Everything is just traumatising. Sometimes, after considering what it takes to get to class–the steps, the stony pathways, and being ignored by others–I would rather not go.”
