She mentioned that she decided to go shopping at Lagos Main Land to see if she would get cheaper things there.
To her shock, things were still as expensive there as they are in Lagos Island.
After spending N300,000, she said she could only get some food items but could not buy others, such as rice.
The lady said:
“The economy is not smiling at all. Before now N300k worth of foodstuff was 5 times of this quantity. Do you think this quantity is cheap or expensive for this amount? N300k and I didn’t see bag of rice 25 liters of oil.”
Some people in her comment section said she was telling lies, but others defended her, saying things are expensive.
