Senator Moves To Regulate Memes After Discovering TikTok Skits Are Exposing Corruption Faster Than Anti-Graft Agencies

BREAKING: Federal Government unveils new economic strategy called “Suffer Now, Smile Later 2.0”.

According to officials, Nigerians have become embarrassingly attached to luxuries like electricity, affordable fuel and stable food prices, prompting the government to launch a national reorientation programme aimed at helping citizens “detach from worldly desires” and accept hardship with the kind of grace usually reserved for miracles.

At a press briefing in Abuja, a spokesperson explained that the rising cost of living is actually a “fitness program” designed to strengthen the average Nigerian spiritually, mentally and financially — mostly spiritually.

Meanwhile, opposition parties held an emergency meeting to unite against the ruling party but reportedly spent 9 hours arguing over who would sit near the AC.

Citizens have reacted positively:
“Rice is now ₦120k but at least our politicians are travelling comfortably.”
Another Nigerian added:
“At this point, Nigeria is not a country. It’s a group project where nobody is contributing.”

More updates coming after the next fuel price adjustment.
