- A Nigerian lady, who recently went to the market, has expressed excitement over what she noticed
- Two months ago, she said she bought a particular generator at N350k and was impressed with its new price
- Her update comes as the naira continued to appreciate against the US dollar, nearing N1,000/$1 exchange rate
The Nigerian naira’s impressive appreciation against the US dollar seems to be gradually reflecting in the prices of items in the market.
Nenye Uzowulu, a Nigerian lady, was impressed after learning about the new price of a generator she bought at N350k in February.
She had bought the generator at N350k last two months.

The excited lady wrote on Facebook that the same generator is now being sold for N270k in Alaba, Lagos.
While hailing the Alaba market, she expressed joy that the naira was gradually gaining power. Nenye wrote:
“Generator I bought 350k last two months is now 270k in Alaba. Alaba dey try. Naira is gradually gaining is power back.”
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. described the naira as the best-performing currency in the world in April as it neared N1,000 to a dollar.

Six formerly cheap food items in Nigeria
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported about six formerly cheap food items that are no longer affordable for average Nigerians.
Over the past few years, there has been a notable surge in the prices of vital essential foods in Nigeria. This phenomenon took on added complexity following President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of ending fuel subsidy payments during his inauguration on May 29, 2023.
The continuous rise in the costs of these staple foods, alongside other commodities, has reduced the buying capacity of Nigerians, as many find it challenging to meet their daily dietary needs.
