Chioma Akpotha Rants About Rising Price of Food (Video)

It is not news to anybody living in Nigeria today that the cost of goods is going up at a very rapid rate. Yesterday's price on many items is very far from today's price on those same items. Businesses are finding it very difficult to keep maintaining their places of work, and homes are finding it harder and harder to live in the economy today. The effect of the rising cost of goods is being felt by everybody at every class strata. From poor to rich, any law-abiding Nigerian earning naira through legitimate means will tell you how they've been affected by the crisis. One such person speaking out now is Nollywood actress, Chioma Akpotha.

Ranting about the rising price of goods, Chioma Akpotha said:

CHIOMA AKPOTHA: A few years ago, all these things in the market would cost nothing less than 80, 90 thousand naira to purchase. Today, the 30th of November, 2023, today live, everything you see here in these small small bags - yam oh, cocoyam oh, tatashe oh, ugu oh, oha, all these things bought for Ugomba's Kitchen is almost 280,000 naira. Odiegwu! Customers please if we increase price, understand. Even you, as you enter market, you go know say some things don change. Yesterday, I wanted to eat shawarma, they told me shawarma is 5,000 naira. I packaged my hunger.
