See BINGO with better bed. Wakey Wakey.
See BINGO with good food. Ordinary Bingoooo, advanced Ekuke.
How then do you compare living as a human dog or being in Nigeria
Nigerians. God be with you. THIS TOO SHALL PASS”.
Recently alot of celebrities has joined in the voicing out of the countries situation, Caroline Danjuma, ex-wife of billionaire Musa Danjuma, recently voiced her concerns over Nigeria’s economic downturn, sharing her shocking experience at the market where skyrocketing food prices left her wondering how ordinary Nigerians manage to survive amidst the crippling inflation.

Moreso, Uche Elendu criticized the government over soaring food prices, specifically highlighting a crate of eggs costing N6,000 in her area, sarcastically suggesting that eggs should be banned since it’s unlikely a regular chicken laid them.
Furthermore, Yewande Adekola Abiodun expressed dismay 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, highlighting the harsh impact of inflation on Nigeria’s most vulnerable populations.
