This generation are in the the worst economy era and i think with level we have gotten to the goverment is helpless which they need every citizen to help fight this difficult situation. Like if you go the market, you will see things that has nothing to do with dollar, commodities that are being made from our own country very expensive and this are the same people complaining about the bad government. When dollar increases the price of goods and services increases too and if dollar price drops the price of commodities still remain the same instead of to also drop in price. It is just as if some people are just using this difficult time as an advantage to make money for themselves. The price of things are not being regulated according to the movement of dollar, if price of things are being regulated with the movement of dollar I don't think things will be this difficult. In our country when price of things goes up instead of it to falls when dollar price drops it remains like that, with such attitude from our marketers I don't think we will be able to fight this economy challenge.
Sadly enough, we may or may not have marketers on the local board to see this message, so what do you suggest we the buyers do other than to bear the heat?
As citizens ready to fight for ourselves and for our country, we can individually own and work on farms, so as to provide food for ourselves and our family first and eventually sell these farm produce at cheaper rates to others close to us. Why is a bag of pure water 500 naira when the content isn't even pure?
Errm... Have you ever heard of chlorine?
or boiling water to destroy germs. Anyway, maybe it's cause I'm an economist. On a serious note though, there are probably marketers who are exaggerating prices, but the economy touch everybody, no be lie. God would keep us.
