Since the current recession hit Nigeria like a tonne of bricks, prices of EVERYTHING have been skyrocketing but the one thing that every single Nigerian has definitely noticed is how the current economic climate has impacted the price of food in the market.
Now…If it was just food, we could manage. After all, we are a nation of survivors but it’s EVERYTHING.
You want to buy tomatoes and pepper?
Fine but if you want the seller to grind them for you, you must pay extra.
Why?
Because the price of oil for the grinding machine has increased.
So BattaBox sent our presenter Adeola to Ketu Market – Her mission?
To see if she could buy the ingredients she need to cook rice and stew for under 1000 naira like she used to before ‘change’ occurred and let’s just say the task wasn’t as simple as she thought it would be…
“Make I buy tomato and pepper from you, 300, make you ground for me 50 naira, then you give me onions, 50 naira,” Adeola instructs.
“No onions 50 naira for Nigeria now o!” the lady shakes her head, “You no know?” she tells Adeola.
“One carton of fish I dey buy am 30,000 before now na 12,000 naira,” one market woman laments.
“Fish is even more costlier than meat now,” a potential customer agrees with the seller.
“Rice was 15,000, 12,000 but now, the last I bought was 20,000 naira,” one man states.
“We are not selling like before,” a lady shakes her head.
How are YOU coping?!
Are you still able to buy food for a reasonable price?!
Thanks for watching!

This is what is needed for Nigerians to reach inside themselves and realise
they don’t need to eat Spaghetti and Imported tomatoes. Things will get
much worse, at which point people will return to the way of their
forefathers, and eat local things grown at home, not all this imported GM
junk from China.
It shall be well my fellow Nigerians God will deliver soon.
