November 2025 – Everyday Decisions Databank – Everyday Decisions Databank
This November 2025 Everyday Decisions Databank snapshot draws on 98 respondents, mostly young, student-heavy participants across multiple states in Nigeria. On a 1–10 scale, they rate life at about 4.6/10, and satisfaction with everyday domains such as transport, food, digital information, education, and dignity generally sits below 3/5, with transport and food showing the most strain. Education and dignity emerge as relative bright spots, but still leave a sizeable minority feeling under-prepared or not consistently respected. Approval of federal, state, and local government is low, with average scores clustered between roughly 2.1 and 2.4 out of 5, signalling broad disappointment rather than confidence in public institutions.
