so what you are saying in essence is that if the marketers buys their goods during the period when the price of dollar was high and it affected the price they bought goods in the market, they should reduce their price and sell bellow  the amount they bought their goods just because the price of dollar suddenly came down? the market women are business people that are still looking for profit and because of how unsteady the price of goods is in the market, you cant blame them whenever they leave goods at certain peak price at moment when ideally they are supposed to bring it down.

even if they are selling product that has nothing to do with exchange rate, as long as the price of transportation and other things they also buy is increasing, its only normal for them to join in increasing the price of there commodity. but like your topic says, to solve the current economic crisis is not something that should be left in the hands of our government alone cause the reality is that they've failed to proffer any meaningful solution at the moment. each and every one of us have the responsibility of contributing our quarter  in ensuring that we depend more on locally manufactured goods rather relying on imported goods that is affected by dollar to naira relation.

if only we can improve on the quality of our locally manufactured goods, no one will be looking outside that much. because of how good we have become in the production of Garri, even if other countries decide to bring in their garri to us, no one will want to take that above our regular garri but look at the quality of local rice for instance, the quality is too bad that regardless of how cheap local rice becomes, i will never choose it over imported rice and that's also what's applicable to other goods that are imported. the quality of our locally manufacture products are very bad and if we don't want to improve on it, we will still continue to depend on imported goods and the depreciation of the naira to the dollar will continue to become our major problem.
