Nigerian Entertainment News: Caroline Danjuma Voices Worries for Nigerians After Lagos Market Visit
Nollywood star, Caroline Hutchins Danjuma, has voiced her apprehension for the welfare of Nigerians amidst the country’s prevailing economic turmoil
Following a visit to the bustling Sunday market in Ogba, Lagos State, the actress took to her Instagram page to express her dismay at the exorbitant prices of essential commodities.
Danjuma recounted her disheartening experience, marveling at how Nigerians are managing to cope with the staggering costs of basic food items, highlighting that a single tuber of yam costs a whopping N10,000, a paint bucket of potatoes costs N9,000, a bag of rice costs N85,000, and two pieces of Titus fish cost N5,000.
The actress confessed that she was deeply troubled by the situation and had to make purchases for her household staff, admitting that she was somewhat oblivious to the market rates.
She wrote,
“I went to Sunday market yesterday, I used to go there with my grandma, nostalgic. Hmmm. How are you all coping? A tuber of yam 10k, a small paint bucket of potatoes 9k, a bag of rice 85k, avocado pear 1k/1.5k (the woman wasn’t smiling before I asked for a discount). Two pieces of Titus Fish 5k. How are you all coping? I was soooo sad I started shopping for my domestic staff inclusive. How are you all coping? I wasn’t so keen on pricing in the market; I just felt bad for the masses.
“Everything is expensive. It is well with us. Just want to take the time to check up on you all today. Maybe we need group sessions for mental and emotional therapy; I am willing to start it up with some of you…
“Sending you all big hugs. The sun will soon shine on us all.”
