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!

“Celebrities also come here to get their wears,” says Adeola jokingly

BattaBox presenter Adeola visits Katangua , one of the biggest and most populous second hand market in Lagos where you can find everything and anything you need for your wardrobe at a very low cost price.

“Jeans are sold for N500 (lesser than $2,” says one of the traders

The good thing about katangua market is that even as low as the prices are, you could still bargain with the trader for a good deal, be it children’s cloths ,jeans, tops, skirts, under wear, swim wears etc anything and everything is cheap.

“Swim suits cost N300 (less than a dollar)”

The most shocking was when Adeola discovered a shop where second hand wedding dresses are sold for close to nothing.

“You can get your wedding dresses here for N1,500 (less than $5),” says Adeola

Traders and sellers are surprisingly making lots of money from selling second hand cloths. One woman who sells swim suits tells her story…

“With this business i’ve educated my kids, built a house and bought a car,” she explains

Trust Adeola to buy a couple of things for herself.
