Largely insecurity and dumb government policies like border closure without increased local production I think

Human inhumanity to his fellow man. We keep shouting, it is the government, but an average Nigeria is a fraudster, ready to ripe off his fellow man

Things are insanely expensive. Sometimes you spend 50k shopping and you can’t help wondering how people on 20k monthly salary are coping.

According to a trader I buy from, she said foodstuff from the North are not as expensive when they buy them there, but the cost of moving it down to the South is high. When they get here, various unions would still tax them. They add all this to the selling price and it still trickles down to the cooked food.

How much is cooking gas now?
Rent? Vegetable oil? Electricity?

Food is expensive in most parts of North.

Some perishables are cheap during their season because there is no way to store them but once the harvest is over, everything will go back to normal.

A plate of GOOD food here is as expensive as it is down East and if not more

That single act of border closure disrupted the flow of so many things.
It was the major cause of the downfall of the naira.

Food is expensive in the north but I don't think it's ever as expensive as it is in the south.
