Apart from saga, so many other celebrities have cried out regarding the economic state of the country. Caroline Danjuma, former wife of billionaire Musa Danjuma, recently took to social media to express dismay over skyrocketing food prices during a market visit, wondering how ordinary Nigerians manage to make ends meet amidst the country’s worsening economic crisis.
Nkechi Blessing also expressed frustration after spending N150,000 on just a few groceries at Ogba’s Sunday market, asking if Nigerians have resigned themselves to the economic hardship, wondering aloud why people seem to have stopped complaining about the struggles, and seeking answers on how to move forward.
Uche Elendu, a Nigerian actress, criticized the government in June over soaring food prices, specifically highlighting that a crate of eggs costs N6,000 in her area, jokingly suggesting that eggs should be banned since it’s unlikely a regular chicken laid them.
Moreso ,Yewande Adekola Abiodun, a Yoruba actress, expressed outrage over the skyrocketing price of a bag of Garri, now costing N80,000, lamenting that a staple food once considered affordable for the poor has become a luxury.
Mary Njoku, a Nigerian actress, previously expressed dismay over the country’s economic hardship during the festive season last year, sharing her shocking experience of spending N100,000 at a supermarket and still ending up with a barely filled shopping cart, illustrating the stark reality of rising costs and shrinking purchasing power.
