My people, I greet una. Few weeks ago when dollar was 1900, things were very expensive, now wey dollar be 1540 shey things suppose come down? Abeg anything come down for una side? Abi nothing da come down for Nigeria? This matter don tire me. Went to the market yesterday and I actually expected things to reduce due to dollar little stability, but reverse is the case. Seems this country is getting worse. How una see am?
We blame the government for everything forgetting that we are our own problem in this country. The dollar is trading below ₦1500 as of today but the price of rice has not dropped by ₦1 and all these prices increased when are settled around ₦1650 and ₦1750 and to say that the government has continued to drop the price of clearing goods from Port, the sellers are desperately looking for ways to milk people. I think the next people the government should go after are the sellers in this country the way they chase Beureu De change and were able to control the dollar manipulation.
However, I think our problem isn't just the dollar, we have insurity challenges. There is high reported cases of kidnapping and farmers are afraid to go to farm and that limit is with few number of farmers with limited food which everyone is running after to buy, cost of farming has also increased because of transportation, making ridges has increased in price, these are the reason why not some price of goods might no come down.
