Hi Nairalanders,
Can u tell me what 1000 naira can buy in Nigeria particularly Onitsha, Anambra State. To me I think nothing much to me with the exchange of currency. To me, it will cost a lot for me but nothing or next to nothing for him. I explain that to someone but he still wants me to send something, however small it is.

Send something my man, it does't matter how small. My people dey hungry o

Thanks KMVBO I understand what you are saying but please, tell me what can 1000 naira buy "a small sweetie" a small bottle of coke?
I remember some one wanted some groceries in Ghana in the refugee camp. It cost me a fortune to post a very small pack of rice.

Ok I will still send something KMBO. But still answer my question
