Nigeria’s Inflation Rate Rises Further To 21.91% In February 2023 by politicoNG(op): 1:01pm On Mar 15, 2023

Nigeria’s inflation rate climbed to a new 17-year high of 21.91% in February 2023, representing a 0.09% point increase when compared to the 21.82% recorded in the previous month.

This is according to the recently released Consumer Price Index (CPI) report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The rise in the inflation rate is following a significant cash crunch experienced across the country on the backdrop of the new naira note design and uncertainties relating to the presidential election.

In the same vein, food inflation rose to 24.35% year-on-year in the review month from 24.32% recorded in the previous month. On the other hand, core inflation dropped to 18.84% from 19.16%.

According to the NBS, the rise in food inflation was caused by increases in prices of Oil and Fat, Bread and Cereals, Potatoes, Yam and Other Tubers, Fish, Fruits, Meat, Vegetable, and Food Products.

I will make #1 = $1

Na the result be this...... Serious Inflation.

Despite all the Economic Reforms and meetings that PMB wasted Taxpayers money to attend, this is the result.

Inflation haven't even started, with the way things are going, very soon inflation will be so high that it will be dragging space with Aeroplane in the sky.

TheMaterialist:
Inflation is not the price of goods going up,

It is simply the value of the Naira going down.

Dey Play.

You should know at this stage that they both complement each other.

It is cause and effect. You can't single out one as the definition of Inflation and leave the other.

TheMaterialist:
What solution do you propose?

***Apart from oil, which other major product are we exporting, the over reliance on oil is really hurting the economy.
*** Do we have a functioning refinery? If no build one or two
*** Address the issue of Insecurity
*** Government Economic policies of recent have really been hurting the naira, they need to do better and implement better policies not all these rubbish policies that have no benefit to an average Nigerian.
*** Electricity issue is really killing businesses in Nigeria also.

I could keep going on and on, but I'll stop here.

Yoruba people are the most tribalistic set of people in Nigeria, I knew what I faced growing up with Yoruba adults just because my Yoruba mum married my dad 'Delta ibo'.

Tinubu might do well as a president but that doesn't mean Yoruba people will stop being tribalistic... they have the worst set of mouth when it comes to insults.

Buhari is worst thing to happen to Nigeria or to any country for that matter.

Look at Modi of India within 9 years he completely changed the country profile in postive direction while Buhari changed Nigerian direction towards negativity.
