It has nothing to do with govt. Even in Abroad, you see the same situations. In amazon, 5 sellers will sell the same thing diff prizes. Left for you to do your market survey. What you should have done before buying. 5 Likes |

I'm sorry to say that this is a global issue. It's not a Nigerian issue. I am in the US and the cooking oil I purchased last year is almost double this year. The building wood we purchase has gone up between 25 to 50% depending on where it is purchased. The only incentive the US has is the system in place that will help poor people, but regular middle class workers are having to cut back on everything. The coronavirus has dealt with everyone by slowing down shipping and increasing demand. As a result, prices went up in all sectors globally. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I have been thinking about this for a very long time, everything increase in price in Nigeria everyday as a student of ECONOMICS it baffles me a lot that what can or may cause the persistent rise in prices of goods? But the truth is aside the economy factors some people just want to make profit unnecessarily by adding to the price. The only way this can stop is the government should put up an agency that will check the activities of these people, because they are making life tough. 3 Likes |

You are paying for staying at home when hoodlums were voting for your leaders after collecting 5k I heard the price of bread and milk remains unchanged in US for 25 years. Between an interval of 25 minutes, you can pay 10k extra for the same goods in Nigeria because of leadership problems 3 Likes |

JoshTim: Buhari implemented price controls as a military leader and it ruined the economy. One of my colleague's Granddad was a victim, he was forced to sell his grains at below landing price, he finally closed his ware house and never recovered Market forces particularly the forces of demand and supply control prices. Governments that tries to control prices end in tragedy, leading to hoarding, scarcity and black markets. Government should focus on making it easier for suppliers to get to the market. The process should be faster and cheaper. A boost in supply will always push prices down 8 Likes 1 Share |

Moneyboyz: You want a business man that experience rise and fall of dollar to give you an ox fan the same price it was when dollar hiked?? You must be dreaming. You want an Igbo man to sell ox fan for you below cost price then he will go to your salon to use 1500 to cut hair, buy fuel 175, then pay his kids increment school fees, then buy foodstuff costly The problem is Nigeria not business men. Business men are just doing business. Nobody opens a business to loss money. 7 Likes |

Moneyboyz: There's no price control in Nigeria. Simply because at the board of every big companies in Nigeria is a seat for a politician or some one of means of Nigeria descent. Unilever, nestle, Cadbury name it. They have a political seat for this kind of activities. The Indian are worst. In the fishing Importation business. They're cartel that dictate price at will.

The price of goods increased the moment dollar increased to 580. The reason for the everyday increament is because the traders are gradual in implementing the price increament to avoid shock response from customers. The increament will continue until equilibrium price is attained. The traders bear part of the burden just to keep you as a customer but y'all won't know. 3 Likes |

BlackfyreRebell:Read what you wrote again and ask yourself if you have sense. She bought laptop in January for 30k, and now that laptop is 50k. You expect her to still sell it for 30k? Are you alright atall ? If she sell it for 30k what will be her profit and how will she buy another stock. Learn to think abeg. The problem is your government policies and not the seller. Your government subsidized petrol but leave the dollar floating without regulation. Prices for goods were stable under GEJ government because dollar was subsidized and fixed at #199. It's no rocket science, enjoy your buhari that does not even have the balls to remove fuel subsidy. 6 Likes
