Rictech:
The 3 basic things of life(food, clothing & shelter) is really expensive here, not only food, but one can't do without food & shelter(a house built some 10 to 15years ago will be competing in rent with houses built within the last 2 years , landlord using cost of building materials as an excuse)
Food is really expensive here, our locally produced foods are also expensive. A framer who produces Garri from his/her farm will tell you pam oil is expensive or that herdsmen doesn't allow them to go to farm.
Look at 390naira(39ruppee) tomatoes in Mauritius as shared by petyprincess . See how fresh and cheap it is, in my local market, a neatly packed tomato like this will be around 600naira

This post has literally poured out my mind about Nigeria.
I travelled to Turkey last year and was saddened by the difference in food price.

The poor rarely go to fast foods or restaurants or malls but they can afford to eat well at home even offer food to visitors.(this is slowly becoming impossible in Nigeria)

I didn't find small coke or Fanta there. Only 2 litres and it was really affordable.

We are really starving in Nigeria.

Im back in Nigeria and Im planning to relocate to Cotonou or port Novo. Where there is less chaos.

I took this pics when I visited then
I bought 2kg chicken for 18 lira , that's 540 naira

The paint bucket size yogurt was about 24 lira , that's about 720 naira

The table veggies wasn't up to 1000 naira (cante remember the price)

Cotonou is cheaper, hands down. I am partly Beninese and lived them for many many years as a child, lived there for one year as an adult and have relatives there can confidently say it is cheaper.

Hello please I'm trying to visit and relocate to Benin with my wife. Would appreciate any help on how I can get an apartment.
Thank you.

Nigeria is truly in a mess under Tinubu
