Nigeria today can drain you beyond 35k daily and you wont still see anything tangible to have done with the money.

- Take her apartment to be 15k/night (almost impossible modest room)
- Transport - 7k (minimal movement)
- Food - 8k (3 square Average restaurant)
- Recharge card and data - 2k (Foreign based)
- Misc and PR - 5k (utilities and tips)
- Social activities - 3k (Average)

That's 40k already.. Inflation is crazy in this country.

Well i quite agree with you...

But those expenses won't be on daily basis nah.....

And you Nigerians love gossiping, talking without thinking and making generalisations you can never substantiate.

The lady is making a statement of fact and you are busy attempting to discredit her when you do not know her and cannot even argue with the message in your effort to rush and discredit the messenger.

Is she wrong to insist food is very expensive in Nigeria commensurate with the spending power or pocket of the average Nigerian? What she wrote, below, is 100% valid and would be the consideration of any decent and compassionate person who appreciates how Nigerians are suffering.

In Nigeria foodstuff like eggs, chicken fish, Beaf, rice, cooking oil, tinned food etc cost virtually the same as they do in the UK yet average income of the two nations is millions of miles apart. It is criminal. We are a nation doing everything to cause our own failure, drain hope, push Nigerians toward criminality and frustrate our ordinary citizens.

keep eating your cheap food in the UK created for the poor masses. Does the queen or her family eat the food sold in UK supermarket s? Never. 24% of UK supermarket chicken samples tested positive for antibiotic resistant E-coli. You eating poison. Yes you can get a kilo of chicken at Tesco for 4 pounds but bro it's all poison. No wonder cancer is heavily prevalent in Europe and America

My point is that it is not okay for food to be so prohibitively expensive commensurate to the pockets of most Nigerians.

Leaders should do more to change that horrid status quo. Forget that they are eating genetically modified Chicken in the UK. That is not our concern as Nigerians.

Our focus should be on how to streamline processes so that per capita income increase and livestock/food crop farmers are aided to efficiently and cost-effectively produce food most Nigerians can afford.

The overaching issue is that Nigeria has no local control or influence over our own inflation rate and socio-economic reality because we have created an undiversified, import-dependent and oil-reliant economy totally at the mercy of dollar/pounds exchange rate and fluctuating International oil prices.

It is criminal for that reality, that has endured for decades, to still be our fate today. We have a large labour force, arable land, water sources for irrigation, sunshine and many natural endowment that mean we should be able to produce livestock and food crop cheaper than we are doing for local consumption and even to export profitably.

Thats what we should be looking at. If we had embraced modern cattle ranching practises, as seen worldwide, Nigeria should be a major universal exporter of Beaf today instead of hosting a pathetic reality where we are still fighting about bringing back grazing routes for herdsmen in 2021.

100% correct. Really unsustainable status quo that will surely predispose more average Nigerians towards criminal activities.

After COVID, survival has been so tough globally. Inflation especially in third world countries has made living very tough. Eating two types meal a day has been not easy for many, taking care of a family has been dangerously tough. Going to a Nearest Mcdonalds or subway or KFC or other expensive restaurant is a dream these days.
