Lagos – Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has expressed concern over the rising cost of living in Nigeria, lamenting that N5,000 now buys only a small quantity of tomatoes and pepper.
In a video shared on social media, the actress highlighted the growing financial pressure facing many households, noting that the cost of basic food items has increased significantly in recent months.
Kadiri said the situation has become increasingly difficult for ordinary Nigerians, as the prices of essential commodities continue to rise amid broader economic challenges. She questioned how low-income earners and families are coping with the escalating cost of food and other necessities.
Her comments have sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing similar experiences and expressing concerns about inflation and declining purchasing power. Several social media users agreed that the rising prices of food items have placed additional strain on household budgets across the country.
Economic analysts attribute the increase in food prices to factors such as inflation, transportation costs, exchange rate fluctuations, and supply chain challenges affecting agricultural products.
