I'm a father of three. The COVID-19 pandemic was a difficult time for me and my family.

My business was greatly affected and I can no longer afford to send my children to school.

I have been struggling to make ends meet and I feel like I have lost everything.

I am leaving today with a heavy heart, hoping that one day the world will hear my cry and come to my rescue.

I fervently hope that one day the situation will be resolved I will reconstruct my life and provide for my family again.

My name is Daniel Daniel' from Opobo Town.

My life is miserable right now, I buy money with my money now in my country Nigeria

that is the situation we found ourselves, and is dangerous... using (N4,000) Four thousand naira to buy (N10,000) Ten thousand naira

I heard that supreme Court have given an order to collect old naira note but the sellers refuse to collect it, said, except president Muhammadu Buhari and CBN governor make a speech concerning the use of the old naira note then they will collect the money

No cash at hand no cash in the bank, citizens are suffering.

My parents house was demolished by Rivers State Government earlier this year. My mother went to the market in the morning and I was the only one left at home. I was inside the house when I started hearing people shouting. When I come outside I saw excavator bringing peoples' homes down. Before I could get a phone from someone to cal my mother, our house was also demolished.

We lost everything. My school books, and all of our properties. I used to attend Philip Academy Primary and Secondary School, but I don't go to school any longer.

This year the Rivers State government came and demolished our homes. They called our communities criminals’ hideouts.

I am 75 years old. I have been here since everywhere was water. I brought mud to fill up this place before I build my home here. I have nowhere else to go.

I am suffering now. What the government did to us is not proper. We need help. I need help.

COVID CHANGE MY STORY

During the time of the coronavirus I lost my wife because there was no way to .

My wife is a and for many years now she has been suffering from it. I took her to the hospital from time to time to make sure she is alright.

Covid-19 frustrated me because my wife is the pillar of my house. She provides for the kids more then the way I do. I am a fisherman. (Chigozie Ema from Soku community, Port Harcourt)

What I'm passing through now is the result of the pandemic that spread all over the world.

I have a shop where I sell provisions. I'm with 2 children boy and girl. My children go to private school and my wife helps me in the shop to sell whenever she less busy at home.

When the imposed I had to take all my remaining stock back to the house. Some of my neighbors that knew what I sell came to me to buy so I could make money to take care of my family.

Before long all my stock finished, and the in my hands could not start anything. What do I do? I had to use the little money remaining in hands to enroll my 2 kids into government community secondary school Nkpolu.

Now I wake up in the morning and I go into the street to look for any kind of labor so I can support my family. My wife, children, and I eat once a day — sometimes we don't.

We are hoping for a better future, my family need help.(Emmanuel Basse from Echue community, Port Harcourt)

AFEDW 1: what a painful world
My baby and I sleep outside in the mosquitoes even with my mother because of the sudden demolition by the Rivers State Government in our community.
When the eviction started I felt very bad because I had no other home to lay my head to with my family. Now I sleep in front of a church outside in the open with my baby, all my properties I that manage to collected during the demolition are outside and I’m crying due to what I am passing through every night, when rain comes I will stand till morning with my baby
The pain is unbearable.
Two [2] days after the eviction my Grandmother had heart attack and she dead in the process of taking her to the hospital
I plead to the world to come and help us we are dying slowly due to hardship My name is JOY JOSEPH , I dry fish and sell.

My name is miracle Joseph,
The demolition came to us as a surprise because we are not prepared due to the short notice served by the government.

During the demolition of Diobu waterfront Port Harcourt, I lost my job trying to secure our properties which my father left for us and I lost my Father years ago; I’m the only one taking care of my younger once.

Losing my job at this point in time is really frustrating because that was my only source of survival.

The demolition has rendered me homeless, I am sleeping and hanging around the street day and night, no place to cook and no source of income again.

I want to plead with the government of Rivers state and the general public to help us in any way they can. We sleep outside and whenever the rain fall’s we usually go through a lot.

We need to come to our aid
We have nowhere to go.

We are still relying on the judiciary as they continue to postpone their ruling. the government and its people forced us out of our land and demolished our properties six months ago, causing my father (a landlord of seventeen rooms) to depart to the village and my brother and I to stop schooling.

Is being 1year 7 months plus since the Diobu Force Eviction incident by the Rivers State government and our hope lies in the jurdiciary but eversince then we have not given verdict, we are suffering! please we need help.

The residents of Diobu axis community, whose houses were demolished in 2021, took the government to court demanding compensation, but the judgement has been delayed until today...

Climate change is having a significant impact on the cost of living. As temperatures rise, energy costs increase due to the need for air conditioning and other cooling measures. Additionally, extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and hurricanes can cause damage to infrastructure, leading to higher repair costs. Food prices are also affected by climate change, as extreme weather can damage crops and disrupt supply chains. Finally, the cost of insurance is rising as insurers factor in the increased risk of climate-related disasters.
