you should know by now what actually reduced the strength of the Naira and if the value of a naira could be reversed to how powerful it used to be, then so be it. The minimum wage should be reduced. We should just stop being a mediocre for God sake! If the value of the currency was not tampered with, would the prices of food ever gone high as this?? Na wa ooo
What reduced the strength of our currency is the excessive increase in taxes and loans to be looted by Buhari, Tinubu and APC as they get more luxury goods to themselves.

chisomkachy:
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

There's a big hole in the think tank .... common sense has all leaked out Tinubu s policy is responsible for the drop in food prices. Isn't it the same genius policy that caused the prices to go through the roof? ...it has not returned to where it was before take off. I don't understand how grown men can be singing all praises to their fellow man ... the way a wife sings praises to her husband who in her eyes does no wrong. It makes me suspect such men...there must be a secret responsible for this adornment.

Did it even occur to them that it has to do with the drop in petrol price?

The kind of up this one went was far above what we expected. So if it doesn't come down, it is a matter of time before people start eating people.

You guys are big time illiterates. Debt servicing was 97% when Tinubu took over. The fact that the economy was bleeding while living fake life has eroded your common sense.
.Ohhh u mean the fake life under buhari or under Jonathan which one??

U ignorant guys need to stop thinking Nigerians are semi illiterates like u. We know how this useless and clueless man wrecked this country and u are yet to fix it back and instead u are throwing propaganda everywhere to decieve complacent Nigerian with short term memory.

We should thank this government for bringing price down from what to what? Do u people have an conscience at all?

U will explain taya but u know there is no evidence.

Basic economy

What's the % of increase in minimum wage?

What's the % of increase in price of goods and services?
Minimum wage increased by over 100% does not mean that salary increased by same percentage oo.
Federal govt workers got an average of 30k added to their salary as consequential adjustment due to the new minimum wage. So what's the big deal about it?

You’re just living in denial. The economic indicators are there to show nothing has come down. Not even inflation rate, not to talk of inflation itself. Not to discount current efforts but there’s still so much to be done that all this blind followership and sugar-coating

beans from 300 to 3500 then drop to 2000 is no jinx braking. We will call him a jinx break when a measure of beans and other commodities drop below how he met it

Nigerians will surely commend Tinubu when they see and feel the food prices coming down to levels lower than where Tinubu found them when he took over in May 2023.

Any decrease beyond this is purely lies, falsehood, and undiluted propaganda from the pit of hell
Mouthpiece of Nigerians we hear you and your new anthem! The Arewa think tank are Chadians right? Atleast throughout this week it's been one testimonial or the other to decrease in food price by "Chadians"!

There is nothing to celebrate cos the prices are coming from the most abnormal increase ever witnessed in the history of the country down by 50 or 100 naira.

I pray and hope that this,"crash in food prices" will not happen and end on social media like their 40k per 50kg rice that remains a mirage up till now. May God help us!
Re: Crash In Food Prices Shows Economic Policies Working— Arewa Think-tank by Richlolly: 10:15pm On Mar 01, 2025
These are local products that didn't warrant going higher in prices in the first place but due to the wickedness of the sellers, they put higher prices, claiming that they took buy other things in high prices. Now that the purchasing powers have drastically reduced and people don't have enough money to purchase, the sellers don't have any option other than to crash their prices. For anyone to come out and tell us that economic policies of this government is working, let's see the prices of imported goods. The rice they are talking about are the well-produced/destoned local rice stocked inside Made in India bags. Even India rice is not a good product, very soggy rice if not properly monitored when cooking it. Good Thailand rice is in hundred of thousands.
